[edit] Prologue
Suzuka is woman who kills to give her life meaning. No one knows her past and anyone who sees her smile is already dead.
[edit] Plot
After a precarious landing on Sentinel III the crew rents a car and drives to Fred Luo's. Fred hugs Gene and Jim at great length and makes innapropriate comments to Jim about his age. Suzuka attempts to kill Fred but is foiled when a battle with Gene forces her past a self imposed five minute time limit on Fred's life. Suzuka leaves, blowing a hole in the ceiling with her wooden sword. Gene then makes a deal with Fred; munitions in exchange for protecting his life. In a subsequent battle with Suzuka, Gene manages to strip Suzuka of both her wooden sword and sash. He threatens to keep her sash for his collection and break the sword while using her pride against her. He tricks her into agreeing that she must kill Gene before killing Fred and leaves. Fred safe, he gives Gene the weapons and another innapropriate hug.
