A spaceship containing the remains of captain star's trainer at the space academy, Ned nova, have been discovered in the belly or a slug. When Nova emerges from his sleep, He remembers that He had went into the black hole that one day where he wanted to be free from mission control. Captain star had announced that He will bring ned to mission control for questioning in the morning. The next day, he had stolen a speeder bike to which he went back into the slug to retrieve his ship the ""Merry Cheeser"". The crew (Star & Jones) decides to catch up to him and they find him back in the slug. after rescuing him and the ""Merry Cheeser"", Ned wakes up and Captain star leads him to his ship. Nova wonders why he's not taking him to Mission Control and Star says that He is just an impostor thinking he is Nova and that the real Ned Nova would be hundreds of space years older. But to me, I think captain Star knows it is the real Ned Nova but wants him to live the free life.
