Well, buddy, I hope you’ll have the greatest space adventure ever. Stay safe out there.
Go for main engine start. T minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, main engine start, four, three, two, one. Booster ignition and … lift off!
Let’s go!
All engines are functioning normally. Prepare for stage one separation.
Nova, can you please update us on our mission to the Moon?
Absolutely. As you may know, we have three beta-stage prototype teleporters.
Stage two separation.
One is located on Earth, and another is on the Moon. Currently, the Moon teleporter is offline.
Our main goal is to repair the Moon teleporter.
The third teleporter is about three hundred light years away from Earth, located near a newly discovered planet: SC 57 m—a.k.a. Periculo Terra, meaning “dangerous land.”
We think this planet has very unusual flora, but we’re not sure.
Prepare for landing.
How did you deploy the third teleporter so far away from Earth?
Using the power of our existing Earth and Moon teleporters, we were able to teleport the third machine about three hundred light years away from Earth.
All three teleporters can communicate with each other. Well … Could.
After deploying our third teleporter near SC 57 m, our Moon teleporter broke down. That’s why we’re here to fix it!
Okay, team. It appears the teleporter has sustained some minor damage and is missing some parts.
Let’s spread out and look for them!
Found one!
Got you! I just located one!
I found one too. I’ll meet you at the teleporter.
Nash, we’ve located all the parts, but we’re still missing the fuel cell. Without it, the teleporter won’t power on.
I’ve got you! Continue looking!
Wow! This crater is massive!
Nash, I’ve detected the power cell. It appears to be damaged.
Hold on, Ray. I’m coming your way!
It appears the fuel cell has sustained some damage. I’m detecting excessive overvoltage.
Let’s get back to the guys. Nova will have to look at it.
It appears the cell has stabilized. Stay back!
I think we’re done. Now we can safely teleport back to Earth!
Oh, no! Get back now! Get back! The fuel cell is still malfunctioning! Get back!
Help me! Help! Sunny! Hold on!
No, no, no! We must help Sunny!
How can we help Sunny?
It appears Sunny was teleported to SC 57 m through the third teleporter. I believe the energy spike in the power cell is what activated the third teleporter.
Ray, based on your calculations, what’s our best strategy?
We must reboot the teleporter and reinstall the power cell. Once it turns red due to overvoltage, we’ll have a small window to teleport to SC 57 m and land on it.
I believe Sunny is on that planet too. Unfortunately, someone must stay here on the Moon just in case this teleporter malfunctions again.
Otherwise, we’ll be stuck on SC 57 m forever! It’s three hundred light years away, and there is no way we can just fly from SC 57 m back to Earth.
Nice …
Okay, let’s get to work and not waste time! Arden, Nash, and Ray, you’re going to teleport and find Sunny.
I’m staying here since I’m more familiar with this machine. I’m going to keep it online for as long as I can.
Good luck, guys!
Arden, activate the engines!
Asteroids!
Get ready for a hard landing!
Landed successfully …
Ray, can you scan the area …
As you know, we’re on SC 57 m, also known as “dangerous land.” It’s five times larger than Earth.
My system has detected five different zones just within a one-hundred-mile radius. Each zone has its own unique environment.
What about Sunny and the teleporter?
The teleporter sustained some serious damage and broke up into approximately five to seven pieces within a one-hundred-mile radius.
We’re entering zone one.
The power cell is located in zone five, the most dangerous zone. I believe that’s where Sunny crash-landed.
Wow! Look at these plants!
I’ve detected one of the teleporter’s parts. Be careful! I think these plants are dangerous.
I don’t think they’re dangerous at all.
Look out, Nash!
Thanks, Arden! I have to be quick to get it.
Great job, Nash!
On, no! I’m stuck.
Hold on, Arden! What’s this slime, Ray?
It appears to be a very sticky plant slime. Be careful.
Oh, no! Go, Ray! Go!
Entering zone two.
This planet is too dangerous!
Ah! What are these spheres?
Look! There’s another teleporter part on one of the spheres!
Try to get it, Arden!
These magnetic fields are so powerful!
Go! Go! Go! What are those things?!
I don’t know. Turn your engine full thrust!
Entering zone three.
Geysers! Be careful, Arden!
Ahhh!
There is a teleporter piece on one of the platforms!
We’re in zone four. Be very careful!
It appears that approximately every minute, these organic crystals discharge a large amount of energy.
Stop right now!
Why do we have to stop?
This discharge only affects moving targets.
These crystals are safe to pick up as long as you don’t move during a discharge.
I’ve detected the power cell and Sunny in zone five. We must hurry. My sensors are picking up volcanic activity.
We’re entering zone five. Be careful! We’re surrounded by hot magma!
I see Sunny! Sunny!
Sunny!
- Oh, guys! Thank you for coming to rescue me! - No problem, Sunny.
The fuel cell fell over there. It’s about five hundred feet away from us. So, this was you, guys!
You came to rescue me. I thought the teleporter broke into pieces and I’d be stuck on this planet by myself … forever.
Yes, when we traveled through the teleporter, the fuel cell created too much energy, which caused it to break into pieces.
Let’s hurry up and start rebuilding the teleporter. We don’t have much time!
You start rebuilding the teleporter. I’m going to get the fuel cell!
No, no, no!
Guys!!! Stay back!!!
- We don’t have the power cell anymore. How are we going to get back? - Oh, no …
That’s it … and the magma is rising … We must get out of here!
I think I can help you. Wait here. Based on the magma level, we still have around fifteen minutes.
- Where are you going, Ray? - The crystals! - The crystals?
I’m so happy you did it! Thank you for saving Sunny! Now let’s get back home! I fixed the fuel cell!
I’m ready!
Thank you, team, for all of your hard work! And thank you too!
