Inside Job

"Inside Job" is the fifth episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. It first aired on October 6, 2000 on UPN.

Overview

Team Lightyear meets a new Space Ranger by the name of Flash Flemming, who tags along when they are tasked with handling security for Ambassador Ursona Major from Gargantia. Unfortunately, Flemming's presence heightens Booster's insecurities, which only makes matters worse with the terrorists trying to assassinate the ambassador.

Plot

Buzz is in a small Star Command shuttle being pursued by another spacecraft through an asteroid field. In order to shake it off, he performs a complex spinning maneuver, causing the other shuttle to bump into few asteroids. Buzz emerges from the asteroids, confident that his pursuer couldn't keep up with him after he employed the "Lightyear Spin Cycle". But he is alerted to his assailant's presence by his shuttle's computer, who also informs him that the enemy shuttle has a missile locked upon him. When they fire, Buzz stops his shuttle, makes it drop so that the missiles and the ship fly over him, then rises back up and gets behind the enemy shuttle, preparing to fire.

A bell sounds and the simulator ends, with both shuttles standing out upon a white backdrop. The ships touch down and the rest of Team Lightyear emerges from a side door in the amphitheater. Booster congratulates Buzz for his great flying and on how he had that Academy trainee on the ropes. Buzz admits that it was the trainee who had him on the ropes instead and goes over to meet him eagerly.

Flash Flemming reporting for duty!

A blond human emerges. Mira is instantly interested whereas XR points out that the trainee isn't that great when you take away his good looks, great piloting skills and upbeat attitude. Buzz catches up to the cadet, who introduces himself as Flash Flemming. But before Flash can say anything else, Booster interrupts them and tries to impress Buzz with a few examples of his own prowess under Buzz's supervision. Buzz agrees with Booster quickly, then asks Flash about his piloting skills and whether he can fly like that beyond training. Flash asks to be given a chance to prove so and Buzz tells him to call him by his first name and not "sir", which further sparks Booster's jealousy. Buzz receives a call from Commander Nebula at that point, telling them to report to the Galactic Alliance Senate Chambers. Booster eagerly grabs Buzz to leave, Mira and XR following, while Booster boasts at them having to take care of real Ranger business. Flash offers Buzz his assistance regardless, but Booster says it's not necessary and reminds him to call him "Ranger Lightyear". Team Lightyear leaves, with Mira waving goodbye before leaving, and Flash blinks.
