The Space Rovers -- "Shore Leave on Graum 7" The scene opens with Captain Persia, sitting alone at a table in the Galley, sipping on a cup of coffee while reading her personal log. PERSIA: (into the recording device) Captain's Log, entry 378, the general mood aboard the Canius Minor is very jubilant. Yesterday I contacted Prime Minister Roberto of Jurrassia to tell him the latest news on his son Bob. He was very pleased that his son did so well on our mission to Kios, but disappointed that we have still not determined how to restore Bob to normal, permanently. Near the end of our conversation, Roberto suggested that our crew take shore leave on Graum 7, a small planet on the frontier of the Jurrassian alliance. He explained that it was a 'rest stop' for 'smaller species' of the alliance, and that we were welcome to land there for rest and resupply. I graciously accepted his generous offer, and soon word spread throughout the ship. We are now minutes away from the planet, the crew is so excited that ..... BRUNO (over the speakers) Captain Persia please come to the bridge! Captain Persia to the bridge! PERSIA: So much for log entries Persia exits the galley and moments later enters the bridge. All the crew is seated at their stations, Boomer, Saundra, Bruno, Whitey. Alexander is standing beside the captain's chair, pointing at the front viewing screen. ALEXANDER: Here it is, Captain! Graum 7! PERSIA: Status report WHITEY: The planet is approximately half the size of earth, breathable atmosphere, lots of vegetation, many forests, lakes, and a few buildings. There are three large space vehicles on the surface, one apears to be a smaller Jurrassian vessel, the other two of unknown origin. BRUNO: Captain, a message coming in from Ki-alla, chief Administrator of Graum 7. PERSIA: On the front screen, Bruno BRUNO: Yes, Captain! Ki-alla appears on the screen, she looks like a grizzley bear, only she's orange with a green face. KI-ALLA: Greetings, Captain Persia! I am KI-ALLA of the Willia, chief adimistrator of Graum 7, I welcome you and your crew with open arms! PERSIA: We thank you for your kindness, Ki-alla! KI-ALLA: Prime Minister Roberto has informed us of your visit, and of your brave and noble deeds in preserving the Jurrassian Alliance. I speak for all of Graum when I say, we are deeply honored by your decision to take shore leave on our planet! PERSIA: We thank you for this opportunity for our crew to rest and relax on your beauiful world! KI-ALLA: I will personally greet you upon your arrival, your vessel is cleared to land on landing pad twenty seven, my assistant will transmit the coordinates to your navigator. We have prepared a fine feast for you and your crew, something I believe you call a 'picnic' on earth! We await your arrival, Ki-alla out. SAUNDRA: I have the coordinates, course plotted and laid in, Captain! PERSIA: Boomer, deploy landing gear, let's land everyone, there's a celebration waiting for us! BOOMER: Aye, Aye, Captain! The Canius Minor slowly desends towards Landing Pad twenty seven, and lands softly. Two forward hatches opens and all of the Space Rovers rush out! Alexander calls out to line up in formation, and the crew complies. Ki-alla walks forward toward Persia accompanied by two of her aids. KI-ALLA: Captain Persia, it is a pleasure to meet you face to face! PERSIA: Thank you, Ki-alla, may I present to you my crew and officers. .... KI-ALLA: Captain, I do appreciate all of this pomp and ceremony, but may I respectfully suggest that I meet your gallant crew while we are dining? The 'picnic' is all prepared, and I'm sure your crew is very hungry! PERSIA: As you wish, Ki-alla! Old man, give the order. ALEXANDER (Shouting) Crew, dismissed! The entire crew runs toward the many tables laden with all types of food, all but Persia, Alexander, Whitey and Bob, who stand with Ki-alla and watch the others for the moment. BOB: Ki-alla, do you remember me? KI-ALLA: Oh yes, your Roberto's son! I was informed about your tragic accident. Captain, have you made any progress in changing him back to .... BOB (excitedly) It's not so bad, Ki-alla! In fact, I'm really beginning to like my new form! PERSIA: Bob was very helpful to us in our last mission, we're hoping we can use this time to run some more tests on Bob, tests that we don't have the room on our ship to perform. KI-ALLA: Excellent! We'll talk about all of this later, after we eat! Please, everyone, honor us by sampling our feast! Ki-alla, Persia, Alexander and Bob join the rest of the crew at the feast. All types of food, some familiar items such as fried chicken, hot dogs, potato salad were there along with many 'local' favorites. After the meal, many of the crew set out to go sight-seeing and socializing. Jake brought his guitar and sang many country songs, some of the crew played softball, the kids set out on a nature walk with Calypso and Fydo, while still other Space Rovers simply took the opportunity to take a quiet stroll in the woods, in pairs! The scene changes to the woods, where Molly and Bruno hold hand and walk slowly down a nature path. MOLLY: This reminds me of Moscow in the summertime, Darling! BRUNO: Da! It sure does, my love! MOLLY: It was on a day like this that we were wed, remember? BRUNO (smiling) How could I forget? I love you even more now than I did then, my dear! MOLLY (smiling) I love you also! Now, no more words, kiss me, Comrade! Before they can kiss, Rasputin runs past them saying a quick 'excuse me' followed closely behind by Daisy, yelling 'WAIT!" BRUNO: Looks like I'm not the only one pursing romance tonight! MOLLY: I wonder if that's how American courtship works? Oh well, where were we? They kiss and then warmly embrace. Further up the path another married couple, Marie and Francis, are also reflecting and embracing. FRANCIS: This is such a wonderful place, no? MARIE: I agree! So calm and peaceful, but ... wait a minute, where's our children? FRANCIS: Relax, they're all with Calypso, don't worry, tonight, it's just us! MARIE: What if others are watching us, my love? FRANCIS: Well, they'll need X-ray vision! As he speaks, Francis uses his mind powers to make him and Marie invisible. Rasputin runs past them followed closely by Daisy. FRANCIS: Dogs don't chase each other in France, they chase cars instead! Meanwhile, back at the picnic, Jake sits his guitar down and gets a cold drink of water. He notices Flash, who has forsaken her traditional white labcoat for a halter and cut-off shorts, walking slowly away from the crowd, looking very unhappy. Jake runs up to join her. JAKE: Flash, is something wrong, ma'am? FLASH (nearly in tears) Well, I'm not sure anyone would understand .... JAKE: Try me, little darling! After all, I'm a fellow Southerner, ain't I? FLASH: (sadly) This is true JAKE: Hey, there's a bench up ahead, let's sit down and chat a bit, I'm a good listener! Jake and Flash sit on the bench, Flash breaks down and cries, Jake holds her hand and tries to comfort her. FLASH: (crying) Oh Jake, I don't know what to do! My sister and I have worked so hard on this ship for so long, but no one notices us! JAKE: No one notices you? I don't understand. FLASH: (sobbing) I'm lonely, Jake! I watch other young females on our ship with their boyfriends, having a good time and here I am all alone! No one wants to be with me! JAKE: How do you know that, my friend? FLASH: I've asked nearly all of the eliglble young males on the ship out, and not one of them even wants to share a bowl of water with me! JAKE: Well, little lady, you haven't asked ALL of the menfolk out, I think you missed someone. FLASH: Well, I didn't ask Grunt, but he always wants to be alone, and Alexander is too old for me and .... Just then running down the path towards them comes three young lady Cano-Sapiens: Deborah (a German Shepard), Orchid (a Sheba-Enu) and Dot (a dalmation) who are all Cadets. They spot Jake and 'surround' him. DOT: Cactus Jake, we've been looking everywhere for you! DEBORAH: Yeah, cutie, come back to the party with us! ORCHID: Please return with us, Jake-sun! JAKE: Look, ladies, I'm here talking to Flash and ..... DOT (whispering to Jake): C'mon, Jakey, she's such a dog! JAKE (outloud) Hey, we're all dogs! Or haven't you noticed? DEBORAH: Oh, stop it, Jake, surely you'd rather be with us than with this ..... this ..... Flash stands up and walks away. FLASH (crying): Go on with them, Jake, I understand .... ORCHID: Good! Flash knows her place is in the lab, not with a stud-muffin like you! JAKE (angry) Stop it! You've hurt Flash's feeling! DOT: (shrugging shoulders) Who cares? DEBORAH: (grabbing Jake by the arm) Now that that Bow-wow is leaving, you can come party with us! JAKE (Growling) I don't believe you three! You're so rude! I was just sitting here talking with Flash, not only do you interrupt us, you insult her as well! I don't want to go anywhere with you three, why don't you children go off somewhere and grow up! (Yelling) Flash, wait for me! Jake runs down the path and catches up with Flash, who is crying even more. Instinctively, he hugs her. FLASH: (sobbing) Jake? I don't understand. Why didn't you go back to the picnic with your friends? JAKE (tersely) Those girls are no friends of mine! They were mean to you, and I won't stand for it! FLASH (eyes brighten) Really? JAKE: Flash, I really care about you! What I was trying to say before the terrible trio interrupted me was that you've didn't ask every male out, because you didn't ask ME! FLASH (surprised) Jake? You mean, you actually WANT to be with me? JAKE (smiling) Sure! Why not? FLASH (frowns): Are you just saying that because you feel sorry for me? Tell me the truth! JAKE (reaching for Flash's hand) Ma'am, I don't feel a bit sorry for you, I feel sorry for those three poor misguiled females! FLASH (wiping away tears) Honestly? JAKE: Yes, Flash! I've had females throw themselves at me for years, mostly because I look so much like Hunter, sometimes they've even mistaken me for him! No one has ever really treated me like a real person, no one, but you! I admire you because you're smart, too! Back home on the ranch, the only high tech thing my master had there was his TV set! You and your sister designed our whole ship and everything in it! FLASH: No dog has ever said that to me before! I heard what those girls said, calling me a bow-wow.... JAKE (holding Flash's hands) Little Darling, there's too many folks out there that shun others for what they're not, instead of appreciating them for who they are! My momma taught me to never put women down. I've admired you from the first moment I saw you! FLASH: Jake? You can't really mean that. Look at me! I'm not much to look at, those other girls .... JAKE: (interrupting) ... are all airheads! I beg to differ with you, ma'am, you look downright pretty to me! FLASH: You REALLY mean that, don't you? JAKE: Another thing momma taught me is not to lie! Jake and Flash look deeply into each other's eyes and kiss. JAKE: Now, little lady, let's take a short walk. Maybe we can find a lake and I'll show you how good I can skip rocks on it! FLASH (embracing Jake) I'd like that very much, Jake! JAKE: Call me Cactus, little lady! FLASH: Alright, Cactus! As Cactus Jake and Flash stroll into the woods, in another section of the woods, Saundra and Boomer are sitting near a stream, relaxing in the shade, and talking. SAUNDRA: Boomer, may I ask you a question? BOOMER: Sure, Saundra, ask away! SAUNDRA: Why don't we just admit that we have feelings for each other? BOOMER (shocked) Well........ um ......... um........... SAUNDRA: What's the matter? Did I say something wrong? BOOMER: NO NO! Of course not. I've always kinda had a crush on you and ..... SAUNDRA (a little upset) Why didn't you tell me this before I married that good for nothing Dreadnaught? BOOMER (sadly) I didn't want you to love me just because I saved your life. I felt that I'd be taking advantage of the situation if I tried to begin a relationship with you at that time. SAUNDRA: Oh, Boomer! Over the years, you've been more than just my rescuer, you've been a good friend! BOOMER: Yes, and I was sad the day you left the Rovers when you married that cheating Doberman! SAUNDRA: I learned a hard lesson with my divorce, but I've also realized how much I care for you! Why can't we just admit it? BOOMER: Are you sure this is what you want? Do you feel anything for Dreadnaught now? SAUNDRA (growling) The only thing I feel for him is rage! He betrayed me! He was unfaithful to me! Saundra begins crying uncontrollably, Boomer sits besides her and gives her a warm embrace. The two dogs look at each other, and slowly kiss. The scene shifts to the area where Calypso and Fydo are taking a nature walk with the ship's children. The kids are busy examining the local plant life and collecting insect samples. Among the children are Tanya and Yuri (Molly & Bruno's kids) as well as Felipe, Josephine and Antonie (Francis and Marie's children) as well as other young people from the ship. CALYPSO: Fydo mon, if I be saying so you've been doing a great job helping me with all these children! FYDO (sadly) Well, thanks Calypso, but I ..... CALYPSO: What you be saying, mon? Speak it out! FYDO (sadly) Well, don't get me wrong, I enjoy what I'm doing here with you and I love all of these kids, but I'd like to be doing something a little more important on the ship.... CALYPSO: (angry) Not important? Fydo, you and I have the most important mission on the Canius Minor! FYDO: How's that? CALYPSO: Can't you see? Is the fog lifting? We have many parents on board, parents who perform tasks vital to the ship's operation. You and I care for their children, leaving them free to do their duties! And can't you see the importance of our classroom? Dees kids need a good education so that they can someday be Road Rovers! Now you do see, mon? FYDO (smiling) You're right, ma'am! We're the unsung heroes of the Space Rovers, aren't we? CALYPSO: Now you be thinking right, mon! FELIPE: (shouting) Hey, Miss Calyspo! What is that hanging from the tree up ahead? Calypso runs up to the tree. CALYPSO: Looks to be a beehive or something like that! Better be backing away from it, children! As Calypso spoke, a dead branch falls from the top of the tree and landed on the hive, causing the strange insects inside to swarm, buzzing loudly. CALYPSO: (Screaming) RUN, KIDS, RUN! DO SOMETHING FYDO! Fydo is holding a bucket of water in his hands, he hears Calypso calling him and runs towards her with all his might. Suddenly, he trips on a tree root, tossing the water into the air and unto the swarming insects. This stops them briefly, but then the swarm turns and chases Fydo, who runs in the opposite direction of the children. He screams out as he runs, some of the insects sting him before he can jump into a nearby lake. The swarm leaves. Meanwhile, in a large, open valley a half a mile from the landing site, Bob, Abdullah, Sheena and Whitey are preparing for a carefully calculated experiment. They brought with them two suitcases full of high tech equipment, which all four of them set up in the field. ABDULLAH: Bob, are you ready to begin? BOB (relunctantly) Do I have to? I was having fun at the picnic! SHEENA: I know, mate! But we have ta do this now, while we're on this world! WHITEY: Hopefully, if you posess the same ability that I do to change matter, I could teach you to reconfigure yourself back into your old form, instead of the form of Dino-Sapien you are now. BOB: Well, alright, I trust you guys, I know you're trying to help me. ABDULLAH: I suggest you remove your Space Rover uniform now, please. When you 'grow' into your pure brontosaurus form, you always shred your suit! BOB: Well, I don't know..... are you sure there's no girls out there watching me? WHITEY: That's one reason why we came out here, away from the picnic area! BOB: (pointing at Sheena) but, what about .... SHEENA: Don't be shy around me, mate! Remember, I'm the ship's doctor! OK? BOB (smiling) You're right, Sheena, no offense! SHEENA: None taken, now let's get started! Bob undresses and concentrates on wanting to become large. He begins glowing and slowly morphs into a full sized Brontosaurus. ABDULLAH (shouting up to him) That's very good, Bob! You have mastered the transformation! SHEENA: (Shouting ) Way to go, BOB!!! WHITEY (Shouting up to him) Now, listen closely to me! When you think about becoming small again, picture yourself as you were before the accident, focus and concentrate on this image, OK? BOB (booming voice) Alright Whitey, I'll do that! Bob closes his eyes and thinks of how he looked back on Jurrassia. His body begins glowing again and he shrinks, but again returns to his Dino-Sapien form. BOB (discouraged) This isn't working! ABDULLAH: Now, don't be sad, my young friend, we'll try again, yes? BOB: Well..... SHEENA: C'mon Bob! What 'ave you got to lose? WHITEY: If at first you don't succeed .... BOB: Ok, I'll try again! Bob does the same 'experiment' seven more times, each time with the same results. BOB (sad) this is not going to work! ABDULLAH: Well, look on the bright side, Bob! Our instruments have recorded your transformations, perhaps with this new data we can finally come up with a cure! SHEENA: Wanna try again, chum? If not, better put your clothes back on and ....... 'ey, do you bloaks hear that? ABDULLAH: Hear what? WHITEY: Yes, Sheena, I heard a noise also, in that direction! Whitey points at a large boulder, Sheena uses her levetation powers and lifts the boulder up, revealing Dot, Deborah and Orchid. SHEENA: Blimey! You've been a bunch of beepin' Tomettes, 'aven't you? Bob screams and hides behind a bush, Abdullah runs over to comfort him. Whitey runs over to the three as they attempt to leave. WHITEY (Shouting) Cadets! HALT!!! Dot, Deborah and Orchid stop and turn towards Whitey, hearing Bob's scream, Persia arrives on the scene. PERSIA (panting) Report Whitey, what has happened here? WHITEY: Captain, the medical staff and I were conducting experiments with Bob and these three Cadets were attempting to view him in his Dino-Sapien form without his clothes on! PERSIA: (staring at them) Is this true, Cadets? ORCHID: Of course not! DOT: We were just sightseeing, tell her Deborah! Deborah tries to speak, but just couldn't say a word. PERSIA: Well, Cadet Deborah? Are they telling the truth? DEBORAH (sadly) No, ma'am. We were all spying on them like Whitey said.... PERSIA (smiling) Well, Deborah, at last you've done something right! I knew you two were lying, but I wanted to see if Deborah would tell me the truth or not! DOT: How could you possibly know if ..... PERSIA: Aren't you forgetting something? I can read minds! That's why I know that you three were trying to get a glimpse of Ensign Bob. I'm not really surprised at your behavior, though. Ensign Jake told me earlier that you three were rude and insulting toward Flash, am I right, ladies? DOT: Hey, I wasn't rude! ORCHID: No way! That bloodhound had no business hanging around Jake! DEBORAH: (sadly) The Captain's right, we weren't very nice to her PERSIA: I think I've heard enough, ladies! I just don't believe this! Not only do you three hurt the feelings of one of your fellow crew members, you actually stood out here and violated another's privacy! In case you three have forgotten, Bob is the son of the Prime Minister of our most important ally in this region of space! Not to mention the fact that he's only a boy in Dinosaur terms, and now you've shamed him! It may take weeks even months for him to get over this type of embarrassment! And on top of all of this, Cadets Dot and Orchid, you two LIE to me about this! The three female cadets stand silently in front of Persia, Dot and Orchid have silly smirks on their faces, while Deborah hangs her head and is silently sobbing. PERSIA: Well, you'll all have plenty of time to think about your actions .... Sheena runs up to the three cadets, growling loudly. SHEENA: (Yelling) I hope you three ladies are bloody well satisfied! PERSIA: How is Bob? SHEENA: (Angry) He's plenty embarrassed, that's for sure! Dr Abdullah is taking him back to the ship, Lord knows how you three have traumatized that poor child! PERSIA: I know you're upset, Sheena, but I'll make sure they're properly punished ... SHEENA: (still upset) If I may suggest, Captain, if these three are so interested in playing 'doctor,' perhaps it would be fitting if they served a few days with me and Abdullah in sick bay! PERSIA: Excellent suggestion, Sheena! You three cadets are hereby temporarily assinged to the medical department, effective immediately! Is that clear, ladies? DOT, ORCHID & DEBORAH (in unison) Yes, ma'am! Calypso calls Sheena on her communicator wristband. CALYPSO: (on speaker) Calypso calling Dr Sheena! SHEENA: (into mic) Sheena here! CALYPSO (on speaker) We have a medical emergency, several of the children have been stung by flying insects of some sort, and Fydo was stung many times, he be in bad shape! SHEENA: (into mic) I have your location on my direction finder, we'll be there immediately! Sheena out! SHEENA (looking at the three cadets) You start your training now! One of you grab a couple med kits, the rest of you follow me, there's no time to lose! Deborah quickly grabs three med kits and runs after Sheena, Dot and Orchid lag behind. Persia and Whitey follow them from a distance. Sheena arrives to see Fydo lying on the ground face up, and Felipe, Tanya and Greta (a German Shepard child) are sitting on the ground, crying. SHEENA (looking at Fydo) Blimey, this one needs some serious medical attention, you three provide first aid to the young ones! Deborah takes a med kit and runs towards the kids, Dot and Orchid just stand there. FELIPE: (crying) please help me! This hurts! TANYA (crying) I got stung in the leg! GRETA: (crying) I'm scared! DEBORAH: (holding some guaze and antiseptic spray) There, there, kids, let me take care of those stings. Deborah examines Tanya's sting first. DEBORAH: See, this isn't so bad. These insects didn't leave their stingers in the wound! All we need to do is treat the bitten area. This spray will tingle a little, but it kills the germs so the wound won't become infected. Hold still. Deborah sprays the disinfectant and wraps Tanya's wound. She calmly treats Felipe's bite and then is almost finished with Greta. GRETA: (relieved) You sure are a great nurse, ma'am DEBORAH: Well, I'm not exactly a nurse ..... GRETA: You look a lot like my mom! DEBORAH: Thank you, I'll bet she's plenty worried about you .... GRETA: My mom passed away six months ago, I miss her! Deborah gives Greta a gentle hug. Sheena watches her and smiles, looks around at Dot and Orchid, who are still just standing around. SHEENA: Dot, Orchid, why didn't you help Deborah treat the children? DOT: You mean those rug rats? ORCHID: You've got to be kidding! SHEENA: (very angry) I gave you a DIRECT order! Now, help me with Fydo! DOT: But he's sick! ORCHID: I'm not touching him! SHEENA (furious) If I had the time, I'd bite both of you morons! Deborah, bring some smelling salts over here! I've already given him an allergy shot, the poor bloke's been stung a dozen times! Deborah hands Sheena the smelling salts, and she uses it to revive Fydo just as Molly, Bruno, Marie, Francis and Hans (Greta's dad) arrive on the scene. MOLLY: Calypso, what's going on here? Is Tanya alright? FRANCIS: I heard Felipe was stung by an alien bee! HANS: Greta, are you OK? CALYPSO: Please, relax everyone! Your children are all fine, thanks to some quick first aid! TANYA: Da, it's true! That nice German Shepard lady took care of us! FELIPE: We we! And Uncle Fydo saved us from the bees! GRETA: Ya! Uncle Fydo led them away! FYDO (surprised) I did? MOLLY: (joyfully) YOU ARE HERO, COMRADE! MARiE: Way to go, Fydo! FYDO: Me? A hero? HANS (walking up to Deborah) Thank you for taking such good care of my Greta, ma'am! GRETA: Dad, doesn't she look like mom? Deborah and Hans smile at each other, feeling a little embarrassed. DEBORAH: I'm Deborah, sir, and it was my pleasure! HANS: I'm Hans, and you are a top notch medic, Deborah! PERSIA (interrupting) I concur, Ensign Hans! DEBORAH (startled) Captain? PERSIA: Excellent work, Cadet Deborah! You seem to have a real knack for this sort of thing! There may be hope for you yet! Cadet Fydo, I'll be recommending you for a commendation for your bravery today! FYDO (bewildered) Bravery? Me? WHITEY: (pointing at Dot and Orchid) And we also observed that you two were given two direct orders by a superior officer and disobeyed them! DOT: (scared) But....but...... ORCHID: We were observing Dr Sheena's technique, and ... PERSIA (furious) That's enough! Dr Sheena, if these two give you any more trouble, have Grunt throw them in the brig with my blessing! SHEENA (smiling widely) Aye-Aye, Captain! Rasputin runs by Persia and Whitey with Daisy following closely behind him. PERSIA (shouting) DAISY, RASPUTIN, HALT! Daisy and Rasputin stop running and walk over to Persia. PERSIA: What's going on here? Is this some sort of game? RASPUTIN (panting loudly) No......ma'am....... DAISY (panting loudly) I ...... almost ...... caught...... him..... PERSIA: (calmly) Daisy, how many times have I told you NOT to chase male crewmembers of my ship? DAISY (seriously) If memory serves.... about twenty four! PERSIA (shaking her head) Then why do you and that sister of yours continue doing it? DAISY (smiling) cause someday we'll catch one? PERSIA: Rasputin, you are dismissed! Daisy, before we leave Graum, you and I and your sister Flash are going to have a LONG talk together, alright? DAISY (happy) Sure, Captain! What would you like to know? PERSIA (shaking her head) er.... never mind. You may go but stay away from Rasputin, ok? DAISY: Sure, ma'am! I got my sights set on Grunt anyway! PERSIA: Oh boy! Cactus Jake and Flash walk by, holding hands. PERSIA: (talking to herself) Now that's the way to catch a man! About an hour passes and the crew has finished loading supplies and are preparing the Canius Minor to return to space. Ki-alla and her assistant stop by to see them off. KI-ALLA: Captain Persia, I trust that you and your people had a good time on our little planet? PERSIA (Smiling) Yes, we did! We'd love to stay longer, but we have a star-mapping mission to perform. Your planet was a welcome diversion for all of us, and a time that none of us will ever forget! KI-ALLA: We are pleased to serve, Captain! By all means, feel free to return here as often as you like! We'll always have a landing pad ready for you! PERSIA: (shaking their hands) Thank you both, for everything! KI-ALLA: May you travel the stars safely, until we meet again! Persia enters the ship, the hatch closes, and the Canius Minor takes off. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
