Takeback.The Silvana arrives at the station Casino Royale for repairs, and its crew is given temporary shore leave. At the bar, Lavie encounters Mullin, who resigned his commission on the Claimh Solais after the battle at Minagith. He intends on joining the battleship Goliath, which is also docked at the station. While a gambling bird race is going on, Count Charles Knowles, commanding officer of the Goliath, ridicules Mullin for wearing survival medals. During the final bird race, the crew of the Goliath manipulates the field with a camera flash to allow its favored bird to win. As Lavie catches the crew of the Goliath of cheating, this starts a fight between the crews of the Silvana and the Goliath. Station owner Walker breaks up the fight, but Charles challenges Alexander to a ship-to-ship duel. When both ships leave the dock, Charles realizes that he has challenged the invincible Silvana and orders his ship to begin firing before the duel commences. Unscathed, the Silvana returns fire with its newly installed weapon and sinks the Goliath in one volley. Lavie gives Mullin a self-made survival medal.
