Invading the ''Tiger Moth'', Steg encountered resistance by Captain | Invading the ''Tiger Moth'', Steg encountered resistance by Captain Lisa Deranne and [[Kurt (Shakedown: Return of the Sontarans)|Kurt]], so he convinced them they would not be harmed if they assisted in killing the Rutan, though he had no intention of honoring his bargain, even killing [[Nikos]] himself when the young man tried to shot him. Steg ordered the ship destroyed to kill the Rutan, but Kurt and Lisa confronted him. Steg non-fatally shot Kurt, but was shot himself by Lisa, whom he had underestimated. He saluted her and was thought to have died, when the Rutan showed up and asked Lisa if he was dead to which she told the Rutan that all of the Sontarans and most of her crew were all dead. The Rutan decided to spare Lisa and Kurt due to them sharing a common enemy in the Sontarans before declaring that it will go in the Sontaran Boarding Craft, while revealing it’s true form to Lisa before boarding the Sontaran ship. Steg suddenly regain consciousness and urgently warned Lisa of the Destructo Bomb he had left in the airlock tunnel.
