"Ernie! You're still alive!" Minerva exclaimed.

"No thanks to you Minerva," Ernie said.

"Well, the intercom did say you were at 30 beats per minute..."

"So you decided to just leave me there!"

"Guys," Iris cut in, "We should go back to my hideout."

"Say what now?" Ernie said.

"We sort of, kind of, really need you to fly a ship to a planet called Caïrché," Minerva said.

"Caïrché?"

"It's that red planet that's about a day away," Iris said.

"Oh, that planet," Ernie said.

"Yup, that planet," Iris said.

"Didn't that one have a disaster or something?" Ernie asked.

"Yeah, the robots attacked it. But they rebuilt the city, it's fine now." Iris said.

"Are there still robots there?" Minerva asked.

"Ummm... Maybe?" Iris said.

"Are you saying you don't know?"

"Yep."

"Fred, can you teleport us all to the secret lair we were just in?"

There was a whoosh, and they were gone.
