Let it breathe, let it breathe, let it breathe for the space cadets

Epilogue

"Commander Gampu?" Peepo called.

Gampu was laid on his side, chest breathing, very weak.

"Commander Gampu!" Peepo called. "Commander Gampu!"

Peepo wheeled over toward the elder's side then budged him forward by the legs.

"Please, respond," Peepo requested. "Commander Gampu."

His eyes were halfway open and Peepo's sensors indicated there was no brainwaves but the body was still struggling to live. No casualties, yet. There was still a chance to bring the commander back from the brink of death. It was like watching a machine slowly moving on its room in the tape taking as little as it could. The man took one last breath and became very still.

"I don't know what to do next," Peepo said.

"You always know what to do next, you nitwit," Gampu said.

"It is hard to decide which shell to pick," The Robot said.

"You know which shell to pick," Gampu said, glaring toward the machine.

"It is the 21st century, Doctor Smith," The Robot replied. "Not the 24th."

"You know which one you want," Gampu said. "Much like you don't want to say the name that you like."

"I don't need one," The Robot said, making the older man frown.

"Yes, you do," Gampu said, the frown softened into a smile. "My dear old friend."

Gampu patted on the Robot's chest plating.

"Don't patronize me," The Robot said.

"How about beepop?" Gampu looked toward the collection of machines that were distasteful in size and color. He looked toward the machine from the computer screen.

"Beepop," The Robot said. "More like beat pop."

"If you can't say your name then you can't get a new shell," Gampu said, then clicked off the site replacing it with a video that had the opening of Jurassic Park frozen on the screen. "it's either Robocop or Jurassic Park that we are watching on here."

"Hey, I was looking at that!" The Robot protested.

"You need a identity," Gampu said, tapping on his chin looking toward the taller machine. "You won't do that because it means they are gone." he looked the machine. "But you will always be Robot Robinson to me."

The doorbell ringed from the background.

"I will get it!" The Robot announced, shifting away then wheeled toward the doorway. "La lalala, I can't hear you!"

"This conversation is not over, ninny!" Gampu called. "You can't waste time avoiding this discussion!"

A ding came from Peepo.

"I can waste Emperor Evil's time!" Peepo said. "Changing course."

Peepo grabbed a long pipe then used it to lift Gampu's arm on to his chest and his claws hooked onto the man's smaller hand.

"Engaging warp drive," Peepo said. "Setting in coordinates of Duo Lunas."

Star Command flew striking the five drones into pieces from hitting the watch towers leaving even more visible signs of damage continuing to march on and jumped into warp straight out of impulse.
