The future of imagination lives here, and now let's get
back to Treasure Galaxy.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
No, Malachi, you can't borrow my sonic goggles. They are
a highly delicate piece of space tech, and I promise.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
I'll be careful with them. Please, you'll be my favorite.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Twin brother if you say yes, I'm your only twin brother.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
Hey, you guys, I'm trying to record Roger THATDMC.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Fine, you can use them for three minutes and that's it.
Got it?

Speaker 4 (01:24):
You're the best.

Speaker 5 (01:28):
Nine days of this yep, still Day nine of Mission
X halfway there though. This is video love for Day five.
I told you that the cosmic storm we got caught
in short CIRCUITIT or navigation and control systems. While we
were able to jumpstart the helix Nebula thanks to Zeke's
quick thinking, that was just a temporary fix. So to

(01:50):
get the replacement parts we needed, we agreed to stop
at the next closest planet, the planet Jorra. But which
should have been a quick pitstop turned into any thing.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
But are we sure they'll have the parts we need?
I thought Jora was just a mining planet.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
Jawa is not just a mining planet. It's the most
important mining planet in our galaxy. Back in the day,
when humans were just moving to Mars, we discovered we
needed special kind of fuel to operate our space rovers.
Erth gasoline didn't work in space, and the solar diamonds
were much too powerful. So a small group of explorers
and scientists set out to find the perfect fuel. That's

(02:34):
when they came across the planet Jora. Drawa was covered
in rivers filled with a unique substance that could survive
in any atmosphere and power machines without causing an energy overload.
They named this new fuel source Carter Fuel after the
Head Explorer. I'm just glad it was nearby.

Speaker 5 (02:51):
Out of all the planets we could stop at, Jora's
the most likely to have everything we need and more.
Since their whole thing is fueling space vehicles, they're bound
to have the parts we want. Shouldn't take us.

Speaker 4 (03:03):
More than an hour. Gotcha. It looks like we're entering
Drara's atmosphere.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Now.

Speaker 4 (03:24):
Oh wow, Joras. Something that's odd.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
All my research says Jora is supposed to be a
thriving colony, but this place looks deserted.

Speaker 4 (03:36):
Maybe everyone thrives indoors.

Speaker 5 (03:38):
It is a bit odd, zek But we need to
get back to our mission as soon as possible. So
let's find a shop so we can get the Helix
Nebula fixed up. Hello, is anyone here? We're looking for
some parts for our ship.

Speaker 7 (03:57):
Ah, what do you want?

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Hi there?

Speaker 5 (04:01):
Uh, we're wondering if.

Speaker 4 (04:02):
You have these parts?

Speaker 7 (04:07):
Yep, got all those?

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Great, we'll take them.

Speaker 7 (04:11):
How much six thousand credits each?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
You want?

Speaker 4 (04:16):
How much it is?

Speaker 7 (04:17):
What it is, take it or leave it?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Wire? Price is so high.

Speaker 7 (04:21):
I have to make it a living somehow, especially with
the rivers running dry.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
The carter fuel rivers. But that's not possible.

Speaker 7 (04:29):
Clearly it is. Now you're gonna buy the parts or not?

Speaker 4 (04:32):
You guys, what do we do?

Speaker 6 (04:35):
We don't have enough space credit for even one of
those parts, and we need more than one of them.

Speaker 7 (04:40):
Don't worry, kay, I have an idea.

Speaker 5 (04:45):
What if we could find out why the rivers are
drying up?

Speaker 6 (04:49):
You three, you're just a bunch of kids, a bunch
of kids trained by the Space Alliance. I'm sure if
your mayor knew we were here, they'd gladly take our help.

Speaker 7 (04:59):
Well, joke's on you, because I know you're here and
don't think it'll make much of a difference.

Speaker 5 (05:05):
You're the mayor, I thought you were the shopkeeper.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
Times are tough. Gotta do what you can.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
We really could help you, though, Besides, what do you
have to lose?

Speaker 7 (05:16):
Well, free help don't hurt. I guess I guess I
can drop the price down a little if you figure
out what's going on.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
No way, if we find out why the rivers are
drying up and fix the issue, we get the parts
for free.

Speaker 7 (05:33):
Ma'am, don't think fine, I guess that's fair. You have
a deal A little lady thank.

Speaker 3 (05:41):
You, Zeke.

Speaker 5 (05:42):
What can you find about this planet's river system?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
According to my Sonic goggles, the source of the rivers
is located somewhere called Carter's cavern.

Speaker 7 (05:54):
No, you can't go there. Why not?

Speaker 4 (05:57):
If something's wrong with the rivers? Chance it started there, don't.

Speaker 7 (06:02):
You know the stories? They're supposed to be a scary
monster living in those caverns.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Monster.

Speaker 5 (06:11):
No use trying to scare us away, mister Mayor.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
A deal is a deal.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
We save your colony, you give us the parts.

Speaker 7 (06:18):
Heah, yeah, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
I'm warning you. Kai. Give the Sonic goggles back.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Five more minutes. It's for science, I swear.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
Creating a ven diagram of the most popular snack foods
in all the galaxy is not science.

Speaker 4 (06:37):
Will you two knock it off. I'm trying to record here.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Sorry, mc yeah, sorry, look what you did me. You're
the one that threw the box of snack pace at me.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
Like I was saying, we decided to go to Carter's
caverns to investigate monster Or. We needed those parts to
continue our mission.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
There. It is Carter's cavern.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
Good thing we had all these ropes and space gear
in the ship. The opening looks pretty small, so we'll
go in one at a time. Malachi, you'll need to
stay and stand watched, just in case.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
In case, what in case one of us needs you
to pull us out.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
Oh right, because you know if there was a monster around,
that'd be kind of worried.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
But that's crazy.

Speaker 5 (07:35):
Okay, I'll go first, found the bottom.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
I'm up. I guess you sure you're okay staying up here? Malachi?

Speaker 6 (07:53):
Me? Okay, I'm more than okay, I'm awesome. I'm totally
fine with you guys leaving me to possibly get by
a scary cavern monster.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Oh okay. Here, I put this together before we left.
It's communication device I've connected to my Sonic goggles. Just
put it in your year and we'll be able to
talk to each other while we're down there. Okay, whoa,
thanks bro, how whoops? Sorry, it's okay, Kay, we'll be

(08:24):
back in no time. Okay, okay, you hear a sky
loud and clear.

Speaker 5 (08:30):
The water down here is dangerously low, but I don't
see anything that could be making the rivers dry up.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Wait, what's that sound?

Speaker 5 (08:40):
What is it?

Speaker 4 (08:41):
What do you guys here?

Speaker 6 (08:43):
It can't be it's nipsy, what's happening?

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Kid, danger, Run,
