Cosmic Energy

Chapter 8: Neptune

 Shows the space ship nearing the asteroid belt. It drops some of the hyperspace and slows down. Inside the ship, MYALS looks at SKIZZY.

MYALS: Is there something wrong?

SKIZZY: We are approaching the asteroid belt. I was just slowing down so we could safely navigate through it.

TIPPER: I thought you said that asteroids were further apart than the media makes them out to be.

SKIZZY: True, but that doesn't mean it would be entirely safe to blast through at speeds that prevent any control if we come upon one automatically.

TIPPER: Fine, how long is it going to take?

SKIZZY: I didn't totally let off the Cosmic Energy, so it won't take us more than a day.

TIPPER: Great. (He looks at ALGA) With my luck, this alligator will probably be a human eating monster before we get back.

SKIZZY: Not if we have Cosmic Energy.

Fades to show later as they exit the asteroid belt.

SKIZZY: Okay, we're out, it's time to enter hyperspace again.

Shows them drop out of hyperspace near the planet Jupiter. SKIZZY hands the control to TIPPER, and takes ALGA to another window. He lifts her up to look out.

SKIZZY: Do you sense anything girl. (He looks at ALGA) I guess not. (Turning to the cockpit) Head for Saturn, there doesn't seem to be anything here.

Shows them arrive at Saturn, and SKIZZY repeats the process, but ALGA doesn't react differently.

SKIZZY: I don't think there is anything here either. (Sigh) To bad a planet this beautiful has nothing worth noting. (Looks at ALGA) You're getting heavy.

They arrive at Uranus, and SKIZZY takes ALGA to the window, and looks at her with a sigh.

SKIZZY: Nothing here.

They jump into hyperspace again.

[I was going to add a scene of Skizzy and Myals discussing the Bible together here I think, but I never got around to it, and frankly I don't even remember what it was.]

They arrive at Neptune, and SKIZZY looks back at ALGA without moving from his seat. ALGA is looking around, and sniffing the air.

SKIZZY: She probably only smells Myals dinner. Nothing here either. (Sigh). This is our last planet too.

MYALS: Are you sure that you're doing this right? Maybe Alga isn't close enough to the Cosmic Energy to feel it.

SKIZZY: I wish we would have thought of that sooner. (Sigh) Tipper, would you please take us in a little closer.

TIPPER: Sure.

TIPPER turns the space ship so it can approach Neptune, and starts flying towards it. SKIZZY looks out the window like he can't remember something important. Suddenly he shouts out.

SKIZZY: Level off TIPPER, or we'll enter the planets gravity at too strong of a-

Suddenly, the ship starts to experience increasing turbulence, and a computer voice speaks up.

COMPUTER: Experiencing levels of gravity unsuitable for your angle of decent. Please level out.

SKIZZY (Taking the controls from TIPPER): Here.

SKIZZY tries to level out, but the gravity starts to become so intense that it becomes way to slow for comfort.

SKIZZY finally manages to pulls upright, and they start flying high over the gas clouds of Neptune.
