[Zoom in on the crescent moon, which is actually a specifically shaped spaceport, massive and bustling with many different aliens and spacecraft. Jim walks out and sees different aliens all speaking various languages until Delbert comes in behind him wearing a giant metal suit.]

DELBERT: Jim! Oh, Jim! Wait for me! [Clanking] Well, Jim, this should be a wonderful opportunity for the two of us to get to know one another. You know what they say, familiarity breeds, um...well, contempt, but in our case--

JIM: Look, let's just find the ship. OK?

ANDROID: Second berth on your right!

HAIRY ALIEN: You can't miss it.

JIM: Hey, thanks.

DELBERT: It's the suit, isn't it? l should never have listened to that pushy two-headed saleswoman. This one said it fit, that one said it was my color. l didn't know what to do. l get so flustered. [Bumps into Jim] Ooh! Oh, Jim! This is our ship! The R.L.S. Legacy!

JIM: Whoa!

[They board the ship, and find the crew loading it with supplies.]

MR. ARROW: Stow those casks forward! Heave together now!

JIM: How cool is this? [Jim runs into another alien.]

MR. SNUFF: [Squishing noise.]

JIM: Sorry about that. l didn't mean--

MR. SNUFF: [Angry farting noises.]

DELBERT: Allow me to handle this. [Pfft pffft pffft.] [Eek eek eek eek.] [Poit.]

MR. SNUFF: [Chuckling.] [Eek pfft.]

DELBERT: I'm fluent in Flatula, Jim. Took two years of it in high school. [Pffft]

JIM: Flatula? Cool.

DELBERT: [Talking to Mr. Arrow] Good morning, Captain. Everything shipshape?

MR. ARROW: Shipshape it is, sir, but I'm not the captain. The captain's aloft.

[We see Captain Amelia jumping amongst the mast and sails before landing gracefully on the deck.]

AMELIA: Mr. Arrow, l've checked this miserable ship from stem to stern, and, as usual, it's...spot on. Can you get nothing wrong?

MR. ARROW: You flatter me, Captain.

AMELIA: [noticing Delbert] Ah, Dr. Doppler, I presume?

DELBERT: Uh, um, yes. l--

AMELIA: Hello! [She knocks on Delbert's helmet] Can you hear me?

DELBERT: Yes, I can! Stop that banging!

AMELIA: If I may, Doctor, this works so much better when it's right-way up, and plugged in. [She plugs Delbert's suit in]

DELBERT: Ooh!

AMELIA: Lovely. There you go.

DELBERT: If you don't mind, l can manage my own plugging! [He unplugs the suit]

AMELIA: I'm Captain Amelia, late of a few run-ins with the Protean armada. Nasty business, but I won't bore you with my scars. You've met my first officer, Mr. Arrow. Sterling, tough, dependable, honest, brave, and true.

MR. ARROW: Please, Captain.

AMELIA: Oh, shut up, Arrow. You know l don't mean a word of it.

DELBERT: Ahem, excuse me. I hate to interrupt this lovely banter, but may I introduce to you, Jim Hawkins? Jim, you see, is the boy who found the treasure--
