	The downside to the journey is quickly made evident when the ship, despite bearing Foundation markings, comes under attack by space pirates (presumably thinking it is an unarmed space-yacht). The heavily armed raider is accompanied by a series of light, maneuverable star fighters; all of which are, in fact, no match for a heavily armed corvette with an experienced crew. Jason puts Metanie on one of the gun turrets while Hunter mans the other, and [[Lily McConery\|Lily]] assists with the main weapons. Working as a team, they shoot down the nimble fighters and succeed in torpedoing the raider.
