← A Pain in the Asteroids

You crack your knuckles, then grab the steering stick of your PT Starcruiser. Time to see if Spaceship Consumer’s “Best Spaceship for Light Grocery Runs” can handle rough terrain. 

A big asteroid barrels toward your ship’s windshield. It gets bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Your eyes narrow. With lightning fast up and forward motions – you smash head first into the asteroid and bounce out of control. Ooof!

Your energy shield take a serious beating as you crash into asteroid after asteroid with all the grace of a first week spaceship driver’s ed student. Yes, you are a skilled holo-diamond thief, but apparently those skills don’t translate to weaving through a dangerous asteroid field.

The PT Starcruiser’s energy shields are almost depleted. The cockpit is blinking red, which is superfluous and a bit annoying. You know you’re crashing into asteroids! The red light is unnecessary, thank you!

What will you do?

• Call your old pal Johnny Eyeballs and ask for a quick assist.
• Wake up your slimy co-pilot Wurble, who managed to sleep through all of this!
