Season 2 Episode 9
After noticing an anomalous power spike in the rear containment propeller, Annie discovers that the ship has been monitored by a Brachtian Chromiton for weeks, allowing them to strategically and methodically plan their attack. Annie rewires the chromiton to new coordinates and draws the secondary fleet off of the ship just in time. She is awarded the Reynard-Morgan Medal of Bravery and promoted to Chief Technical Officer. She later reveals to Bosley that her father won the same award before his death at the Battle of Fryne Plains
The Battle of the Blue Mast was one of the most technically complex episodes in the SOTNF series. It required hundreds of extras working multiple shifts and left the cast and crew exhausted. Osborn trained for months to execute the complex choreography for the sword showdown between Captain Hellman's son, Olaf, only to discover that much of the fight was removed in the final edit for time.
Comedian Nickey Winkelman filmed a scene for this episode as the Dread Sky Lark Jaquelyn, but the scene was ultimately cut for time. Raw footage of the scene can in the Ultimate Collector's Edition Boxed Set - Blue Variant. The deleted scenes were not included in the Red Variant due to a production error in the packaging.
