Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Ah Annette, we must have stepped on a trap. Well.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Well, well, looks like we have ourselves a couple of
tresh pastures here, and we don't like tresh pastures here.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Silver Eye, Are you okay?

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I'd be a lot better if my hands weren't tied up.
It's hard enough walking in this thick forest.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
Ouch.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Hey, keep walking, I Barnaby, won't fall for any of
your trick.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Listen, Barnaby, We're just a couple of lost travelers. Honest,
we didn't know these woods belonged to you.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah, what the kids said, there weren't any signs or
anything Tresh passers.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
We'll see what the protector of your woods has to say.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Now.

Speaker 5 (01:11):
If I just connect my sonic goggles to your ship's system,
we'll download the map with the energy readings we gathered,
and if we cut through this area on the map,
we should make it there in no time.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Hmm.

Speaker 6 (01:29):
We'd be cutting through some mountains and mighty dangerous for
a ship the size.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
Well, lucky for you, mister Deblun, my twin brother is
one of the greatest pilots to the Space Alliance has.
Mountains shouldn't be a problem, right, Malachi, Sure?

Speaker 4 (01:48):
Wonderful.

Speaker 6 (01:49):
I'll set a course and let the crew know.

Speaker 4 (01:55):
Seek what are you doing? I've never fallen a spaceship
through mountains before, much less a space Pirate spaceship like
you don't mean once flew that Spaceline's test ship in
the Martian Pass. Those are mountains, no, I said, I
watched a fight training video of a test ship being
flown through the Martian Pass.

Speaker 6 (02:15):
Oh, we're ready when you are, Malachi.

Speaker 7 (02:23):
Well, here goes nothing, I guess.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
I guess you were right about there being people around EMC.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, being kidnapped wasn't exactly part of the plan, though.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Lockhm up for now? Will yet you protecture of your woods? No,
you're here, hey.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Watch it, No need to shove.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Oh great, any ideas of what this protector of the
woods might do to us?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
Your guess is as good as kid hmmm.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Not exactly. The sturdiest cage to put us in. It's
made of wooden branches and twigs tied together.

Speaker 4 (03:08):
I got it.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
I'll have Sylvie burn it down.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
With us inside. Geek, great ideas, Silver. I besides, did
you forget about the group of guards standing fifteen feet
away from us?

Speaker 3 (03:21):
At least I'm coming up with ideas.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Come on, think we need to be smart about this.
What would my grandfather, I mean, the captain do.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
The captain like Captain Miles of the Space Alliance, he'd
probably just blame my crew and leave me here. The
Captain's not like that, right, and I don't have a
robot eye listen to him. See, the Space Alliance might
have taken care of you and your friends, but my
crew and I haven't been so lucky. We've tried asking

(03:53):
for help once and we didn't get it. Trust me,
we didn't just wake up one day and decide to
be space pirates.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
What do you mean?

Speaker 3 (04:00):
The Space Alliance would send my planet food, but the
person in charge of our planet kept stealing it. So
we reached out to the Space Alliance. We thought they'd
send help, but nope, nothing, So we decided to steal
the food back so our planet wouldn't starve. Next thing
we know, the Space Alliance is chasing us and calling
us space pirates.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
That no, you're wrong. The Space Alliance is here to
help people.

Speaker 3 (04:26):
Say what you want, kid, but my crew and I
know what happened to us. You weren't there, I.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Hey, guard, what's happening.

Speaker 6 (04:39):
The Protector of the Woods has arrived. We'll see what
they have in store for you soon.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Listen, Silver, I you're right. I wasn't there. I don't
know what happened or why it happened, but I do
know the promise I made is a Space Alliance pilot,
and that's care for people of our galaxy, and that
includes you.

Speaker 3 (05:04):
So I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Figure out a way to get us out of here.
Does Sylvie have a laser cutter?

Speaker 3 (05:09):
Uh? Yeah? Why?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Those drums and warhorns are pretty loud, which means it'll
be hard for the guards to hear us cutting our
way out of this cage.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
I like the way you think. Mc Sylvie. You heard
the kid. We're busting out of here.

Speaker 6 (05:34):
Your pilot seated is right over here.

Speaker 7 (05:41):
Let's get started then, but bring up the map. Who's
my navigator for the flight?

Speaker 6 (05:48):
We got one of the best crewmates on the job,
just Nut.

Speaker 7 (05:55):
You.

Speaker 5 (05:57):
Oh so you remember just Nut Chestnut? You're telling me
the spiral squaw that tried to steal our spaceship was
your spiral squirrel.

Speaker 7 (06:06):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (06:07):
Well about that. You weren't trying to steal your ship specifically.
You just happened across one of our trappings.

Speaker 4 (06:15):
Wait a second, was that how you guys found us? Oh?

Speaker 6 (06:19):
Yes, and no one. Chestnut is how we got the
initial reading on your spaceship. But when you three kids escaped,
we followed the general direction you were going in until
we ran and de Zender he's the one that told
us exactly how to find you.

Speaker 7 (06:33):
First he takes my jelly bean watch. Then he betrays
us as space pirates. If I ever find a fake
bounty hunter again, oh oh, have some very strong words
for him.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
I don't get it though. Last time we saw a
chess Nut, we'd send him to the Space Alliance. How'd
he get here?

Speaker 6 (06:53):
Well, Chestnut isn't just one of our best navigators on
our crew, he's also the best escape artist. Didn't take
it long to find his way back to us.

Speaker 7 (07:04):
Well, as long as he's not trying to steal the
helix nebula again, I will not fly us into a mountain.
Are you going to navigate or not? You heard the
spiral squirrel places everyone windy skies ahead, approaching the mountain

(07:29):
range in three two one.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
We're in or out?

Speaker 3 (07:43):
Great, because I think those drums are getting closer let's
go head to the woods.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
Once we're safe, we'll figure out where to head next.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
They spotted us.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Run Lon R.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
You got me with a net. Keep running them, see
you save yourself. Come on, what are you doing. I
told you to run. I'm not leaving you behind.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Now, help me get this net off.

Speaker 6 (08:15):
You nice trying trushpassers for boring to me.

Speaker 7 (08:24):
We got them.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I admire the attempt to escape, but even if you
had gotten away, we would have found you eventually. These
woods are ours, and we know every possible.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Hiding Keep well, it was worth a shot.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Kid silent, the protector of the woods. We'll see you now.
