Episode 7 : 'Mutiny on Board'


The Odyssey enters an area of electromagnetic disturbance and is put under a strange influence. After a while the whole crew awakens, but they don't seem to be their old selves. In a state of trance they take over the bridge and shuts down Sherka. Ulysses soon understands that they are under the influence of the gods. Escorted by one of Poseidon's battle cruisers the Odyssey is guided towards the reefs of space.

Meanwhile Yumi has discovered that she can break Numinors trance by using her telepathic powers. It is however too tiring for her to keep it up, so she reluctantly gives it up. Ulysses then tries to regain control of the bridge with the help of an assortment of the ship's droids. This turns out a disaster when they get caught in a crossfire as Numinor is returning to his companions.


Trying to distract the crew's attention from the bridge Ulysses takes the battle outside the ship. While he is struggling with the Trident-fighters, Telemachus, Yumi and Nono is trying to get the bridge back. With most of the crew looking for them trough out the ship, the task has become a little easier. Yumi awakens her brother and he manages to get the rest of the crew off the bridge. The children then sneak onto the bridge, locks the door and reactivates Sherka.

Ulysses is very pleased with the news from the ship, and Sherka tells him to take advantage of his ship's superior manoeuvrability. He draws the fighting closer to the cruiser, and manages to force some of the Tridents to crash into one of its docking-bays. The ship explodes just as the Odyssesy crew has forced themselves onto the bridge again. The force field disappears, and they all return to their sleep. Ulysses, Nono and the children are back where they started, floating around the Olympus searching for the kingdom of Hades.
