Can't Say I Remember No At Attin

After a cliffhanger ending in the third episode of Skeleton Crew, "Can't Say I Remember No At Attin" begins with the crew, Jod and SM-33 flying towards At Attin in Katooni. As the ship lands, everyone comes out of it to get home, but their happiness is short-lived as there is something wrong with the planet they have just landed on. Trying to find out where they actually are, the kids leave the ship and Fern asks SM-33 to babysit Jod while they look around and ask for directions home.

The episode introduces Hayna, a Troik, who helps the kids get to safety after recognizing that they are not dangerous. 

On the other hand, Jod, on the ship, while snooping through Wim’s stuff, finds the credits which he has hidden from him. SM-33 sees this and calls him a thief. During their confrontation, SM-33 reveals the planet they are on is At Achrann, not At Attin, and he has been here before. After this, native At Achrann crew Hattan comes and surrounds the ship. Seeing this, Jod quickly surrenders himself.

Hayna takes the group to her father and the feared Troik leader, General Strix. The crew approaches the General, seeking guidance on how to navigate their way to At Attin. But Strix answers with icy disdain, stating that the Troik don't care about offworlders' problems. His admission that their only interaction with the outside galaxy is to buy ammo highlights their insular position even more.

Unfazed, Wim approaches the Troik and inquires if they have any old maps or star charts that could help them in their search. Intrigued but cautious, Hayna suggests they inquire about the knowledge hidden in the Fallen Sanctum, a place of mysterious significance. General Strix warns them of the danger that lies ahead, and his grim face tightens. He warns that even experienced warriors would find it difficult to endure the voyage to the Fallen Sanctum because it is full of unknown perils. It seems unimaginable to send a group of kids into such a location.

But despite these warnings, the crew insists on going to the sanctum, to which General Strix agrees on the condition that Wim, Neel, KB, and Fern prepare for battle. Listening to this, they start jumping for joy and start prepping for battle. During the training, Hayna and Neel develop a strong friendship as Neel tries to make her understand the importance of peace.

As the time for battle approaches, General Strix asks the kids to lead them, which they reluctantly agree to. On the battlefield, as the kids and the Troik wait for the Hatten, just then Jod comes with SM-33 and returns the animals that the Hatten has stolen from the Triok, saying that he struck a deal with them. Seeing him, Fern, Wim, KB, and Neel become very happy and hug him. 

Honoring his word, General Strix allows them to go to the fallen sanctum, and Hayna shows them the way. But at the fallen sanctum, they have no luck as the coordinates for At Attin have been destroyed by SM-33 when he previously came here with his old captain.
