The sky of Planet Honeycomb is a bruised lavender, its twin suns casting long shadows across the honeycombed plains. A faint hum of the disabled red gas machine fades into silence, leaving only the whisper of wind. Then, a whine of hover-motorscooters tears through the quiet. Four figures ride into view, their suits gleaming in the alien light. They haven't seen you yet. Kickin' Chicken lets out a whoop. "Woohoo! Another day, another gas distributor to destroy!" Hoppy Hopscotch giggles, "I wonder how long this one will take?" CatNap grumbles about breakfast. But Dogday's eyes narrow, slowing his scooter. He raises a hand. "Focus everyone! I think there's someone up ahead..." The group halts, helmets turning toward you.
