NARRATOR
Last time, our heroes were attempting to engage the Steem Starship’s space warp when they discovered an adorable but very serious problem. An infestation of tribbles in the space warp engine room had gone unnoticed for weeks. As the fastest known reproducing species in the universe, a few tribbles had quickly become thousands. Even worse, they had been drinking the precious and costly warp juice. Thanks to Captain Cork’s handy transporter lasers, the team was able to blast the tribbles off to a new home in the giant jungles of Tripcanius Gargantua, where they would provide food for the local giant population. Much to Space Carrie and Captain Cork’s surprise, a stowaway had been hiding amid the tribbles, enjoying their natural tranquilizing purr. The Space-hitchhiking hippie, named Sky Dancer, did not make the best first impression on our heroes. Space Carrie even suggested ejecting him into the vacuum of space… That’s what happened last time on Space Carrie’s Adventures in Space! For new Space adventures in space, stay tuned! Space!

NARRATOR
And now, Space Carrie, Captain Cork, Henry the Robot and Kevin the Mute Space Minstrel are making final preparations for their warp-space departure. After further deliberation, they decided that the hitch-hiking space hippie stowaway known as Sky Dancer would not be the best fit with their group of space travelers, so they went ahead and ejected him into space. Don’t worry, he assured them he was no stranger to being given provisions and asked to leave.

SPACE CARRIE
I’m glad we gave him the space boot. That guy smelled. Even after he showered.

CAPTAIN CORK
You’re right about that, Space Carrie. But you make it sound like we just ejected the guy into space…

HENRY
Beep boop. That’s literally what we just did, Captain. Beep boop.

CAPTAIN CORK
Yeah, but we gave him food and supplies from the Steemstar kitchen, and one of the spare spacesuits. Keep in mind, that’s a Steemstar spacesuit, with hyper-advanced navigation technology. I set a course to a nearby planet where… he can be happy.

SPACE CARRIE
Oh yeah? Where’s that?

CAPTAIN CORK
The Grumpy Cat Planet. It’s not far from here. It’ll only be about one space week of floating.

HENRY
Beep boop. The Grumpy Cat Planet? But all those cats are so grumpy. Beep boop.

KEVIN
Maybe Sky Dancer will cheer up the grumpy cats.

SPACE CARRIE
I guess you’re right, Kevin. He may be able to cheer up the grumpy cats with his childishly positive attitude. How about some tunes? Dealer’s choice!

SOUND FX - MUSIC STARTS

CAPTAIN CORK
I guess we’re all set to warp on over to Interplanetary Justice, eh Space Carrie?

NARRATOR
Indeed, the team is all set to warp on over to Interplanetary Justice, but a small, often overlooked robot named Henry speaks up, reminding the Captain of a promise from the second episode.

HENRY
Beep boop. Can we swing by the robot scrapyard now, Captain? Beep boop.

CAPTAIN CORK
Can’t it wait, Henry? We’re gonna be gazillionaires!

HENRY
Beep boop. Can we swing by the robot scrapyard now, Captain? Beep boop.

CAPTAIN CORK
C’mon! Those wheels look fine to me.

HENRY
Beep boop. The back one’s completely fallen off. Didn’t you notice the trail of scratches I’ve been leaving or the cloud of sparks that’s been following me around? Beep boop.

SPACE CARRIE
Captain, I think if you promised him some new wheels, and it really seems like he needs them, then we should just go and pick some up. Where’s the nearest robot scrapyard?

CAPTAIN CORK
[ominously] There’s only one. And it’s not far out of the way. Alright, Henry! Let’s get you souped up a little!

HENRY
Beep boop. I’m so pumped. Beep boop.

SOUND FX - BATMAN SEGWAY

CAPTAIN CORK
What happened, Lydia? We stopped warp speed almost as soon as we started! Ahem… This series of sequential unfortunate mishaps isn’t boding well for the reputation of the Steem Starship.

LYDIA
Captain, there is an obtrusive hazard ahead that will require manual piloting. I’ve stopped the space warp engines just in time to avoid our certain destruction. You’re welcome.

SPACE CARRIE
What’s the hazard, Lydia?

CAPTAIN CORK
I’ll take it from here, Space Carrie! What’s the hazard, Lydia?

LYDIA
It appears to be laser asteroids, Captain.

SPACE CARRIE
Did she say laser asteroids?

CAPTAIN CORK
Laser asteroids.

HENRY
Beep boop. Laser asteroids. Beep boop.

NARRATOR
Just what in the seven space hells is a laser asteroid? Find out after this!

ANNOUNCER
[a la “Sunday! Sunday! Sunday!” Car dealership style. Fast.]
Are you looking for a way to blast asteroids faster than you’ve ever blasted asteroids before? Well look no further than the Steemstar Asteroid Blaster 5000! It’s a thousand times better than the Asteroid Blaster 3000, and a solid step up from the Asteroid Blaster 4000! Master the Asteroid Blaster and relax! The fastest nastiest asteroids are no match for the Steemstar Asteroid Blaster 5000!

SOUND FX - STEEMSTAR FOR YOUR FAMILY

NARRATOR
Back aboard the Steem Starship, Captain Cork has just explained the grisly origins of the dreaded laser-asteroid field of Gruba-Klyzoria. It seems it was established nearly twenty space years ago by none other than Spacebeard, the brutal space pirate now in captivity on Flegula 7. Spacebeard had spent years plundering the materials and slaves necessary for the completion of this massive passion project.

SOUND FX - SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC BEGINS

SPACE CARRIE
So the asteroids just start shooting lasers when you get close?

CAPTAIN CORK
That’s right. And we’ll be in their range any second now.

LYDIA
I will assist with laser asteroid evasion in any way I can, Captain.

SPACE CARRIE
Who did you say rigged up the asteroid field with all the lasers?

CAPTAIN CORK
That would be your old friend Spacebeard.

SPACE CARRIE
Oh yeah! You mean the Intergalactic supervillain that I defeated in epic laser sword battle a few hours ago… I had almost forgotten about him.

CAPTAIN CORK
Don’t forget, he’s the reason we’re gonna be gazillionaires.

SPACE CARRIE
Oh yeah! The bounty!

NARRATOR
As the Steem Starship flies into range of the laser asteroids, the motion activated sensors on the asteroids spring to life, releasing a sudden and unending barrage of laser fire directly at the ship.

SOUND FX - LASER FIRE

CAPTAIN CORK
Hold on everybody!! It’s about to get bumpy!!

HENRY
Beep boop. My other wheel’s fallen off. Can someone prop me up in the corner? Beep boop.

SPACE CARRIE
I’ll help you, Henry.

CAPTAIN CORK
There’s no time! Stay buckled in! Henry, use your suction cups!

SOUND FX - SUCTION CUPS

NARRATOR
As Captain cork begins making expert evasive maneuvers the likes of which Space Carrie has never seen, the Steem Starship careens at breakneck speed into the heart of the Laser Asteroid Field of Gruba-Klyzoria.

SPACE CARRIE
Wow! This is a pretty big asteroid field!

CAPTAIN CORK
One of the biggest! That’s why Spacebeard chose it for his Laser Asteroid field!

HENRY
Beep boop. My suction cups are barely holding. Beep boop.

CAPTAIN CORK
Hang on, Henry!

LYDIA
Captain, I’ve just repelled two large asteroids using the portside exhaust vents. That was a close one.

CAPTAIN CORK
Great work, Lydia! We’ll get through this!

SPACE CARRIE
Why didn’t we just go around the laser asteroids?!

CAPTAIN CORK
Why didn’t I think of that!? Although it would’ve taken a few hours extra…

SPACE CARRIE
A few hours of no laser asteroids!

CAPTAIN CORK
Quiet! I’m trying to friggin’ concentrate! There’s too many of them!

SOUND FX - DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNN

NARRATOR
Will Captain Cork be able to use his expert spaceship piloting skills to navigate his way through the Laser Asteroid Field? Find out… right now!

SOUND FX - HOORAY

Triumphantly, Captain Cork evades the last laser-blasting asteroid, freeing the Steem Starship from the evil grip of the Gruba Klyzoria. Henry and Kevin are still in one piece, but Space Carrie may have peed a little.

SOUND FX - HAPPY SONG BEGINS

SPACE CARRIE
We’re alive! We’re alive! Praise doge, I never thought you’d be able to get us out of that one.

CAPTAIN CORK
Alright, I see how it is. For your space information, I’ve flown through that particular asteroid field three times before, twice completely hammered on moonshine.

HENRY
Beep boop. That makes us feel loads better, Captain. Beep boop.

SPACE CARRIE
See how happy Kevin is? That’s the most cheerful song I’ve heard him play in some time. Spacebeard really did a number on that poor guy.

CAPTAIN CORK
Yeah, he’s better off now, soundtracking all our adventures.

ALL LAUGH

SOUND FX - BATMAN SEGWAY

LYDIA
Landing gear deployed, Captain. Final descent preparations in order.

CAPTAIN CORK
Thank you Lydia! Alright everybody! We’re getting ready to land at the robot scrapyard.

SPACE CARRIE
What’s this planet called again?

CAPTAIN CORK
Green Paradise. Have you all gone over your disembarkation checklists?

SPACE CARRIE
Green Paradise? Isn’t that a weird name for a planet that’s entirely robot scrapyard?

HENRY
Beep boop. Only half of the planet is robot scrapyard. The other half is very nice. Beep boop.

CAPTAIN CORK
That’s right, Henry. Green Paradise is one of the most high dollar premium resort destinations in the galaxy, and the Great Robot Scrapyard is their big, dirty secret.

SPACE CARRIE
Interesting balance of rich people and garbage.

CAPTAIN CORK
Exactly. Once we leave the ship, everyone be on guard. I’ve got plenty of lasers. Here Kevin. You take this one.

KEVIN
I religiously object to lasers.

SPACE CARRIE
He says he can’t use lasers. It’s against his religion.

CAPTAIN CORK
For crying out loud! Lasers don’t kill people! People ki--

SPACE CARRIE
It’s cool, it’s cool. We probably won’t get into any laser battles this time.

HENRY
Beep boop. Famous last words. Beep boop.

CAPTAIN CORK
Let’s just get in, get what we need and get out. You never know what you’ll find at the Robot Scrapyard. Here we go! Open the hatch, Lydia!

SOUND FX - HATCH OPENING BEGINS

LYDIA
Good luck Captain! Good luck Space Carrie! Good luck Henry! Good luck non-speaking Instrumentalist!

SOUND FX - DUN DUN DUNNNNN

NARRATOR
What surprises will the Robot Scrapyard hold for our heroes, and will the aforementioned surprises be sinister or benevolent? Who’s to say? Follow our heroes into this strange new world after this message from Steemstar!

SOUND FX - STEEMSTAR FOR YOUR FAMILY

NARRATOR
On the Great Robot Scrapyard of the Planet Green Paradise, our crew has emerged from the Steem Starship, and is now sifting through various robot rubble, searching for the perfect set of wheels for Henry.

CAPTAIN CORK
Let me know if anyone finds anything sentient! Sometimes you get lucky, get a good score.

HENRY
Beep boop. Those are living robots you’re talking about, Captain. Beep boop.

CAPTAIN CORK
C’mon Henry! I’m a rescuer of robots. A friend to all robots!

SPACE CARRIE
How do we even know what wheels we’re looking for? It’s weird how the ground is made entirely of old robot parts. I wonder how deep the pile goes…

CAPTAIN CORK
No one really knows. If you ask me, it’s garbage all the way down. And don’t worry about the wheels. Henry will find what he needs; he always does.

SOUND FX - SINKING

SPACE CARRIE
Captain Cork! You’re sinking! How is that even possible?

CAPTAIN CORK
I think I would know if I were-- Space crap! I am sinking! Pull me out!

NARRATOR
It’s true! Captain Cork is sinking into the robo-rubble at an alarming and increasing rate. Space Carrie rushes over to try and pull the Captain from the robo-quicksand. As her pulling proves ineffective, she begins slashing at the surrounding debris with her laser sword.

CAPTAIN CORK
I’m almost all the way sunk! Careful! It feels like something is pulling me down by my ankles.

SPACE CARRIE
Hang on, Captain!

CAPTAIN CORK
Avenge me!

NARRATOR
And with these final words, Captain Cork of the Steem Starship vanishes underneath the pile of robot garbage, leaving a sickening silence and a very confused Space Carrie.

SPACE CARRIE
What do we do now? How do we even go after him? What in the seven space hells is happening?!

KEVIN
All is lost.

HENRY
Beep boop. I’m receiving a transmission, Space Carrie. Beep boop.

SPACE CARRIE
What do I know about transmissions?!

HENRY
Beep boop. Pull yourself together. I’ll load the holographic image. Beep boop.

NARRATOR
From a small compartment on the front of Henry’s body, a tiny projector emerges and begins to play its image. We see a short pudgy creature, dressed like a human. He has no eyes, but for some reason wears a monocle. Atop his head is a shiny crown, which gives the distinct impression of royalty. The small creature begins to speak.

MOLE PERSON
Greetings, strangers to this land! I am Pilo, of the Down Under Dwellers. I’m the ruler of this territory, and I’ve taken your Captain. He has not been harmed, but if you ever wish to see him again, you must meet our reception party at the coordinates I’ve programmed into your archaic robot.

HENRY
Beep boop. That’s so rude. Beep boop.

MOLE PERSON
Don’t bother arguing or trying to talk to me. This is only a one way recording. I didn’t even know there were still robots alive that couldn’t facilitate two way holographic communication.

HENRY
Beep boop. Unbelievably rude. Beep boop.

MOLE PERSON
You better get moving. It’s a couple hours hike from where you are to the coordinates. It’s getting dark soon, and you don’t wanna be around when the petroleum lizards go hunting. Slippery buggers they are… Anyway, if you want to see your friend again, better get going!

SOUND FX - DUN DUN DUNNNNN

NARRATOR
It seems Captain Cork has been taken captive by some sort of race of mole people living underneath the Great Robot Scrapyard. Will Space Carrie and the rest of the team be able to free Captain Cork from the clutches of the mysterious Down Under-Dwellers? Hopefully they can find refuge before dark, and they won’t have to learn about the petroleum lizards first hand. It looks like Space Carrie may have to get out of this space pickle on her own. Is she up to the challenge? Find out next week on…
