Acting on directions from Commander Bilpin of Galactic Alliance Security and intelligence that it is a hotbed of espionage, Myri Antilles has infiltrated a traveling gambling den disguised as a basic light freighter named the Galactic Princess. Playing her part well as a mediocre gambler that loses more than she wins, she is finally able to capture video evidence of the captain passing of intelligence to someone else, right before her father Wedge informs her that her transmissions have been intercepted. Laying low, they almost get to their extraction point before they are flushed out by security. Making their escape through the cargo hold, Wedge sends his daughter ahead and Myri preps her father's escape pod, allowing them to work together as a team. Outside the Galactic Princess, Wedge's pod is damaged, giving him no control, so Myri runs a couple tricky maneuvers which allows her to save her father, only to be told after they are retrieved that what she did was impossible. She makes the comment that impossible is an Antilles specialty, and Garik "Face" Loran asks her to meet with him about another assignment.
