Hey, beck. Anything on the scanner of the? Now, the signal's gone and I'm getting a belly ache just thinking about the fuel expense of
landing on this dud. Sure. We thought we'd already be on another delivery job
but that energy spike definitely came from this place and I'm already geared up back here
All right. All right. Then a
protein drop point you secured. All right. Hooked up and damn it
The power gloves acting up again. Would you use to mend it
Super glue. Super glue. Why not? Just solder it? Because we're out of zinc for the alloy
I used the last rod to patch up the Hydro Spanner. No solder rods
No coffee. Only one beer left. I'm sick of having grill for lunch
Pink. Poor sucks. All right. Here we go. I
don't like this weather. I'm pretty sure the ship's insurance won't cover alien storm damage
Hey, our dust bunny's tough. If she could talk, she'd say she want us to land and go explore
No, you want us to land so you can go explore one up to you captain
Since when am I the captain, we took the look together. We both have to pay the mortgage
Hey, here's something you feel like analyzing some scan data. That's what we're here for
Scan away. Just
a basic composite of silicate. No energy reading to speak of. So we can't sell it
Not unless we find a million of them. Wait
the signal's back a week ago and I can't get a clear reading
There's some stuff down here causing interference come take a look. What in the world
A blob of gunk? Yeah, that's an app's name for it. Can you scan it without getting too close
And what's in? It looks like it's not. It is. I don't wanna meet the thing that's keep your mask on
Seems to be some sort of organic compound. Luckily, I don't think it's not
You think you can use your glove to clean it up? All right. What do you say? Pumpkin
Can we clean it up? So, once a month with a radio reception
Wow, that's beautiful. Interesting is what it is. Give me that data
You sure you didn't get super glue in the scanner 100%. Why
The pattern kind of looks like the signal we got before just weaker
If the reading is right, this stuff's got some energy potential for real
Keep your head screwed on. This. Puddle's not much to write home about
But if we can find a bigger deposit, I think we should look for a place to land
Sweet Light. The way if
we find more of that substance. Our parties might be over. I could get a garden in my own back home
What would you do? Pay our bills? I mean, after that, I know
but I don't dream big until I know it's within my reach
A dream beck is something that's out of our reach. Otherwise it's called an option
Wow, you, ok. Yeah. Just some shit that'd be major. There's
an open space over these cliffs. You make it through anything for my captain
Enough for the den thing. This place seems like it's big enough for the bunny
Right? Yeah, but I can't take her down until that gun's gone
You gotta clean it up. Oh yeah, it'll be our pleasure. I
think it's like pollution, whatever it is, it's messing with my gear
Hurry up and take it away. It
sure is nice when it's gone. I hope it helps with the signal
Whoa. Did you see that? Amazing. What did I even do? The gunk must be suppressing the plant
Like somehow. All right. Make way coming down out
You go, Kurt don't wander off this time. You got, sir. Maybe you should take a look at his code yesterday
He ran all of my tools through the washing machine. Uh Yeah, that storm was rough and I don't like the look of that river
I run some diagnostics on buddy just to be safe. Now, I was thinking we could do some exploring together avoid the boring
stuff, you mean? No, I just thought I know Ronnie but I have to take care of this shit first
Look, I'm running a constant scan for the energy signal. Why don't you remove some more gunk and see if we pick it up again
Ok? If you say so, cat just be careful. This
looks interesting. Check the data for me, please. What's up with your attention span
Aren't you gonna clean up some gunk? It's really compact. It's like it's bursting
Who? That sounds like fun. Let's plant it. Hey, Kurt, you
doctor, sir. And a good day to you too, buddy. I
think the bunny will like it here. It could be worse, I guess ample space ground seems stable enough
I'm still not happy about the look of that river though. Come on
It doesn't get much better than this. Who knows what we'll find
Hopefully the source of that energy signal. You were going on and on about landing here
You're just standing around chatting. Go on, get out there. I'm on it
This river looks pretty bad. I wonder where it leads. Always good to stock up
If you find some metal or for the soldering alloy, you can repair it. The glove once and for all
What about this? Anything we can use? All right, there's platinum in there that should give a solid shoulder
Go get some more. What
You're not taking unnecessary risks now, huh? I never take unnecessary risks
Oh, yeah. What about that time on Beta R one? That poor man didn't even listen
I warned her that woman knows you. Half an arm. I could have died in that shitty mine
But instead I got you. And this lovely glove. Huh
Ok. I think I got what I need. Great head back. Sweet
A shortcut. Hm. This glowing stuff sure looks interesting. I
wonder what are you up to since this is not worth harvesting
I might as well throw that seed thing in there and see what happens
Take over curtains. Uh
Here we go. Look at this new pumpkin. I'll be able to rip up that stubborn alien plant for sure
Stop chatting with your glove and just go pick the damn plant. Son
of a. Did you blow something up? Yeah, you could say that I just threw myself a freaking staircase
A staircase. What in the energy puddle? That's interesting. I tell you what
why don't you tell me about it back here? I'm all done and I'm ready for some to in a few minutes
Ok. You ever get tired? Yeah
Whoa, this one grew even bigger. Yeah, there's definitely energy potential in this stuff right now
I just wish it was edible. Hey, why don't you just grab a groove snack to hold you over
There's even some sorghum growing in the hydro. Hey, I set up your radio as a repeater for
the ship scanner. So I'm like a walking energy detector. Now, your deer should pick up the energy signal if you happen to get within
range while you're out there. What
a view protection's
bad. Maybe you should head back. I don't want to lose contact
This vegetation doesn't look right. It's like the gunk is sucking the life out of it
Let me do something about it. I'll head back to comedy. Yeah
Do you think the Gunk wants the Qatar? Like, it's really, you know, it or something
Plenty of bad icky stuff. She's like, no, you're
breaking up. What's going on? Um, this might take me a while after all
Give me a break. You'd understand if you're seeing what I'm seeing
but go eating everything here, come and see for yourself. Put my post on an empty stomach
Kill me. Now, you're right. The gun gets a bloody nuance if there is the more chance of energy
Perfect. Hm
It's been a while since I nailed the shot, but maybe I still got it. You
yes, pa, some of these plants might make a nice stew. You want me to bring some back for you
I cannot be bribed with alien gumbo ingredients. If you find a pack of beer or a tin of coffee beans
I'm willing to talk. All right, I'll keep an eye out but don't get your hopes up
What was that? Here's
the river again, huh
Why? Hello there. You must be the one with the sweet singing voice
You guys on the other hand are nasty. All right. Straight on
Yeah. Where
are you going? Beautiful. There's more life here than we thought. Beck
I've encountered animals. What? Really? Do they have? Teeth and claws? Some of them
did he? If you get hurt I will kill you. This
planet is literally a paradise when the gunk's gone. Lush and colorful
Amazing. I could just roll around and rub my face in it all
I wouldn't advise that hard to track energy signals when you're having an allergy attack
What? Huh
Oh. Treasure for little old me. Yes, please. I'll
take these. Thank you very much. Hi
Yeah. Oh, hey
Ronnie. I had Kurt get a water sample from the river. It's thick with gunk
I hear you. The stream doesn't look too inviting out here either. What if the camp gets flooded
Puny would not approve of that. I
don't get a proper meal soon. I'm gonna freak out. He plans of heading back
I'm following an animal and it's the most beautiful creature I've ever seen
I'm just gonna check it a little bit further if I had a credit for every time I heard you say I'm just gonna
Huh? Right
Huh. There you are
