Scarecrow
Goose, Niko, and Zozo are on
Grana, taking soil samples to see how well Kiwi
veggies will grow. At the harvest dance, Goose dances with a young lady whose
boyfriend Johnny is mildly annoyed, and goes off more annoyed. He runs afoul
of a very old, very powerful, and very malevolent being who had been sleeping
beneath the surface of Grana when the Rangers machine woke him. He wants off
planet, badly. He steals Triton, and shoots Niko. He then assaults Niko,
trying to get Ranger I's password so he can use it to get off planet (He is
mostly likely hot to get to Tarkon, but this isn't revealed until a later
episode.). Goose confronts his, calls him "Scarecrow" after the being in
Johnny's ghost story, and he adopts the name. In the end, the Scarecrow gets
away, and Niko and Goose wonder what manner of creature it is.
