Title: refers to the sensor
Episode Fifty
The Shadow
"Can't this ship go any faster?" Bugsy freaked out, gripping the pilot's chair and shaking it.
Francoise smacked him off her chair. "Yes."
"Then why aren't we?" Bugsy pointed out frantically, flapping about. His tail was highly puffed out.
Francoise paused. "Good point."
"The Feuphtians," Zaldorp reminded the penguin as she began to spin up the hyperdrive.
"Screw the Feuphtians!" Francoise snapped. "You saw that message!"
"Who could do that?" Osama was still in nervous shock. "Who, um, who has that power?"
"No idea." Francoise replied, working on the systems as they flew away from the Ghost Planet.
"It wasn't the Feuphtians then?" Osama asked.
Francoise shook her head. "Their ships don't look like that."
"Unless they have new ships," Zaldorp said.
"I don't want to think about that," Francoise shuddered.
"Or maybe it's the kidnappers," Zaldorp added. Francoise glared at the Zorpian.
Their attention was seized by Bugsy. "There's something wrong with this screen."
"What do you mean?" Zaldorp asked, moving over by the cat.
Bugsy pointed at the sensor image. "There's some kind of fuzzy thing there, on the screen behind us."
Zaldorp's eyes widened and he looked quickly at Francoise. "A sensor shadow."
Francoise swore. Osama was confused. "What does it mean?"
The blast that shook the ship was enough to answer his question.

trivia and spoilers: The Aliens may not have been the Feuphtians, but it can't be confirmed.
-Zigwik is one of the kidnappers mentioned, which somewhat implies that it isn't them.
-Francoise and Zaldorp still have a bit of a thing going on between them. He tends to irritate when being helpful it seems. Mostly because his helping here isn't really helping.
-the Taiyou is being followed
