The Outpost, “Guardian of the Asterkinj”, Review!

313 tried to revive his son and failed.  Zed, Nedra, and Munt were trying to play keep away with his zinj.  Levare killed Nedra and the zinj returned to Golu!  This episode is directed by Captain Garret Spears himself, Jake Stormoen!   Garret takes Janzo to the 313’s cell to question the prisoner.  313 is sitting on the floor of his cell.  Janzo is tearful at trying to befriend 313.  The Kahvi slams against his prison bars. Levare the teleporter appears and tears off the lock to free 313!  Talon is checking a rocky area with her torch.  This is the same place where Zed took her, the shrine.  

At the blue flower of the dusted Nedra, Zed is at her side, he picks up the blade that slides off her dust and collects it into a pouch.  At the tavern, Janzo blames himself, while Wren and Garret are also there.  Garret says that the gods could arrive at any time to activate the Kahvi.  Levare calls Wren’s people, the Abominations.  She tells him to kill Janzo and Wren.  Guards appear and she ports away to kill them.  313 takes up the guard’s sword.  Levare ports to the coffin underground and then sees the Kahvi.  She contacts Vorta who asks her to return.  I'm not certain how Levare's zinj works, how she can teleport to wherever is needed, even though she hasn't been to those places.

Munt is asleep when Zed checks on his wound, he is very pale.  He doesn’t want Munt to sleep and possibly die.  Zed covers Munt with his cloak and drags him away on a stretcher made of wood.  At the lab, Wren and Janzo try to work out how to save 313.  Wren suggests that they wake all of the Kahvi without the naviaspores.  Talon wants Luna to use her Dragman ability.  Luna hears some whispering and checks the floor, she wipes away sand from some stonework.  Talon reads the Blackblood words that Luna thinks it may be Talon’s Blackblood that can awaken the Master. 

She puts her bleeding hand on the pattern and it causes the lifting up of the Master’s body, Aster?, covered by a black veil!  Talon pulls away the crystal and sees a stone in Aster’s hand.  She hears Aster who wants her to return the Asterkinj and waken him!  Zed is struggling to drag Munt who complains that he is thirsty.  He stops to give Munt some water from his flask.  Munt who doesn't usually go into battle is now the one needed to be saved.  It’s night at Galwood Outpost, Wren and Janzo are sleeping as 313 is about to bring down the sword.  Wren doesn’t want him to hurt her child. 

Janzo tries to make him see that his child is like his own.  313 tries to warn Garret and Levare ports in, to be tackled by 313!  She holds her sword to 313’s neck and then knocks down Garret.  He holds Levare’s blade with bloody hands.  She is struck in the back by 313 and ports away!  Yes, he has proven his worth.  Levare returns bleeding to Janya and Vorta.  Janya heals her wound.  I’m not certain how she can use her power to wake Aster.  313 has earned Garret’s trust.  Warlita runs to warn them about the wounded Munt and Zed.  Janzo panics and tends to his brother.  Talon is working out if she should revive Aster.  Luna encourages Talon to waken Aster. 


For the first time, Talon transfers her zinj, to Aster!  Janzo says Munt was brought back in time to save him.  Warlita kisses Zed for saving Munt.  She tries to revive Munt who wants Munt, Jr. to play with Janzo, Jr.!  Then, Janzo checks on Garret’s wound.  Zed realizes it was Levare and that Talon is their only hope.  Wren and Janzo check on 313 and he wants someone like Wren, his daughter.  They teach him handshaking and want him to choose a name.  Wren suggests Marvin and he takes the name Marvin the Kahvi.  The Masters look like the Kahvi, it is possible that they have taken the zinj to rule over the Kahvi and see themselves like the Three.

Talon takes her sword and wants to know why Aster is called the Betrayer.  Luna gives him the crystal which he breaks to send the healing green gas to be revivied.  Vorta contacts him.  Talon asks him why he is the Betrayer.  He replies that he put the other Masters to sleep and hid their zinjs!  Aster put the zinjes into their places on the pedestal.  He asks the guardian of the Asterkinj to see writings on the wall.  This is the names of all of the Blackblood Guardians.  He admits that he liked the Blackbloods and didn’t want the other Masters to kill them.  Aster says they should be destroyed.  Zed is walking in the forest followed by Wren.  He wants to throw Nedra’s ashes to the river and not the ritual that Wren performed.  


Wren sings as Zed drops the ashes over the river.  Now, I hope to see Tobin, Falista, Nedra, and Gwynn revived to take on the Masters!  They would be four with Talon, Garret, and Zed as the other Seven?  Maybe it is Janzo, Wren, Luna, and Munt as the four.  Then, we could have The Mistress and Marshall Whythers as the Plane of Ashes is transformed for the Kahvi to live apart from the Outpost world.  While they would share the world with the Blackbloods.  I wonder how humans fit into the Kahvi and Blackblood people.  Still, there never seems to be happy ending to the show, maybe a bittersweet farewell, or possibly just spirit visions of the fallen see our heroes one last time.  The Outpost is running to its conclusion with the confrontation of the Masters!


Four Daggers out of Five!
