NARRATOR -1
Last time, on Space Carrie’s Adventures in Space, in case you couldn’t guess, our heroes got themselves into all sorts of new space trouble. In a trip to the robot scrapyard to pick Henry up some new wheels, they crossed the path of the dreaded Laser Asteroid Field of Gruba Klyzoria! Thanks to Captain Cork’s expert maneuvering of the Steem Starship, the team was able to pass through the Laser Asteroid field unharmed. But once they reached the robot scrapyard, our heroes still weren’t out of the space weeds. Captain Cork was suddenly dragged down into the massive pile of robot garbage. As Space Carrie attempted with futility to free the Captain with her laser sword, he was completely sunk into the robo-rubble, and disappeared. Moments later, through a holographic communication via Henry the Robot, Captain Cork’s captors made contact. Apparently there lives a race of mole people underneath the Robot Scrapyard, and they have taken the Captain!

SPACE CARRIE
Can you move a little faster, Henry? King Pilo said we better get to the meeting spot before dark, and I don’t want to meet those petroleum lizards he was talking about.

HENRY
Beep boop. I didn’t manage to find the wheels I need, so yes, I’m a little slow. Sue me. Beep boop.

SPACE CARRIE
Can’t you hover or something?

HENRY
Beep boop. My thrusters have been broken for space years. Don’t even get me started. Beep boop.

KEVIN
I can carry him.

SPACE CARRIE
That’s great, Kevin! Henry, Kevin says he can put you in his backpack. It’s Time Lord tech… bigger on the inside. How do you think he’s got a friggin’ tuba in there?

KEVIN
It’ll be fun.

SPACE CARRIE
See? He says he’s even got a foosball table. It’ll be fun!

HENRY
Beep boop. I’m not going in the backpack. I barely know Kevin. And I don’t trust Time Lords. Beep boop.

SPACE CARRIE
But you can barely get around, and we have a helluva hike ahead of us!

HENRY
Beep boop. I guess you’ll have to leave me. Just abandon poor Henry at the robot scrapyard. Just leave him for the petroleum lizards…

SFX - CRICKETS

SPACE CARRIE
Are you done?

KEVIN
What the hell?

SPACE CARRIE
Kevin’s right, Henry. You didn’t say “Beep boop.”

HENRY
Beep boop. I don’t always say “beep boop.” Beep boop.

SOUND FX - DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN

NARRATOR -2
As Space Carrie tries to convince Henry the unruly Robot to get in the bigger-on-the-inside backpack of Kevin the mute space minstrel, the remaining daylight is waning. The King of the Down-Under Dwellers had specifically told them not to dilly-dally, for just at dark the petroleum lizards would begin their nightly hunt. Two humans and a robot would provide not only a snack for the petroleum lizards’ bellies, but lubrication for their gears and pistons. These giant machine-reptile hybrids thrive on organic lifeforms, and they haven’t had human meat for some time. [abruptly] We’ll be right back!

ANNOUNCER
At Steemstar, we know your family loves miniature golf, but have you ever played putt-putt… IN SPACE?! It’s so much better than regular mini-golf, because of space of course! Bring the whole family to Steemstar Oasis Grand Space-Putt Plaza, Hotel and Ice Cream Shop today! You can bring your own jetpack or rent one of ours, just [shouted as though while falling] DON’T GET CAUGHT WITHOUT ONE… Try the eighteenth hole Vortex Challenge for a chance to win one of three deadly prizes… [quietly, as though taking direction] What’s that? We’re not going with the deadly prizes? Copy. Three wonderful prizes! Once you bring your family to the Steemstar Oasis Grand Space-Putt Plaza, Hotel and Ice Cream Shop… you’ll never want to leave! Brought to you by Steemstar in collaboration with Dippin’ Dots, the Ice Cream of the future.

SOUND FX - STEEMSTAR FOR YOUR FAMILY

NARRATOR -3
In the glowing purple sunset, the planet Green paradise is looking anything but green to our heroes. The clouds of various vapors and rising fumes create an eerily beautiful tapestry of space colors, but Space Carrie is not distracted by the sight. The light diminishes with each minute, and Space Carrie, Kevin and Henry make their way through the treacherous trashscape as quickly as possible. After too much time spent arguing, Henry agreed to ride in Kevin’s bigger-on-the-inside backpack.

SPACE CARRIE
Keep moving, Kevin, it’s almost dark!!

KEVIN
I’m right behind you!

SPACE CARRIE
No time for music now! [Music stops abruptly] Let’s move! I hope Captain Cork is okay!

NARRATOR -4
As the last sliver of the purple sun disappears behind the mountains of robot garbage, Space Carrie and Kevin are surrounded by strange rumblings as the petroleum lizards begin to wake from their slumber below the surface.

SPACE CARRIE
Just two hundred more yards to the rendezvous point. Don’t look back, Kevin!

NARRATOR-5
suddenly the first of the petroleum lizards emerge from the robot scraps. Each of these lizards is roughly the size of an earth school bus, and there are more than a few of them. Immediately it seems as if the petroleum lizards have spotted our heroes! As Space Carrie races for the rendezvous point with the lizards bearing down on her, she suddenly remembers that Captain Cork isn’t around to help her this time.

SPACE CARRIE
[out of breath] Crap, I looked back! Those petroleum lizards are bigger and scarier than I was expecting! Run for your life, Kevin, we’re almost there!

NARRATOR-6
But it’s too late! The nearest petroleum lizard lunges at Space Carrie! In a flash, she brandishes her laser sword and with an extraordinary backflip, leaps back over the head of the towering petroleum lizard. Before the lizard realizes what is happening, Space Carrie comes down, her shimmering laser sword separating the grotesque head from the now-lifeless lizard body. The smell of motor oil fills the air, as Space Carrie and Kevin press on toward the rendezvous point.

SPACE CARRIE
More lizards are coming, and there are too many for me to fight off with just my laser sword! Fifty yards from the meeting point! Keep going!

SOUND FX - BOOM WAH WAH WAH WAH WAH

NARRATOR-7
The air is suddenly disturbed by a deafening sonic boom, followed by a mysterious wave sound. Space Carrie cannot identify where the sound is coming from, but one thing is clear… The petroleum lizards don’t like it. As she looks around, she sees the robo-beasts retreating into the twilight, or else burrowing back underground. It seems our heroes have been rescued!

SPACE CARRIE
That sound! It’s making the petroleum lizards run for the hills! It’s coming from over there, from our rendezvous point!

NARRATOR-8
As they approach the rendezvous, Space Carrie finally notices the flying platform and its three small passengers. The disc hovers silently over a hole to the Down Under, and these three small creatures must be the Down-Under Dwellers themselves! A round, floating speaker floats several yards above their heads, broadcasting the strange lizard-repelling noise. The foremost in the welcome party begins to speak.

MOLE PERSON
Greetings, foolish humans! We are the Down-Under Dwellers, and we were instructed to retrieve two human foreigners and one broken old robot from this location precisely at dusk. We were told you would likely be running for your lives from the petroleum lizards, so we came prepared with our Oscillating Sonic Wave Lizard Disruptor.

SPACE CARRIE
Thanks for saving us, and the robot’s in that dude’s backpack. Bigger on the inside. But just what the hell have you done with Captain Cork? I must warn you… I’m a laser sword master of the 27th degree. I just decapitated one of those petroleum lizards, don’t think I can’t do the same to you.

MOLE PERSON
Stupid humans! You think we keep our brains in our heads like you do? We have defenses which your pathetic human minds cannot comprehend. Besides, if you killed us, who would show you the way to your Captain? We’re the welcome party. We come in peace… this time. Now come with us!

SOUND FX - DUN DUN DUNNNNNN

NARRATOR-9
What Space Carrie and Kevin don’t know about the Down-Under Dwelling mole people living under the Robot Scrapyard is that they are a notoriously rude and inconsiderate people. It is said that they evolved from engineers living on the planet who were obsessed with robot salvage. Their communication is based on efficiency, and social niceties are rarely considered. Now, our heroes accompany the mole people down into their dark hole on their sophisticated hover-lift. What’s in store for Space Carrie Down Under the Robot Scrapyard, and will she find Captain Cork? Find out after this!

ANNOUNCER
[REGGAE MUSIC UNDERSCORES]
Hey mon! Tired of the space fussin’ and fightin’? When I and I just need to relax and chill, I always reach for the Steemstar space grass, mon! Smoke it, eat it, rub it on your face! In no time you’ll be flying in space… even if you’re not! Steemstar Space Grass!

SOUND FX - STEEMSTAR FOR YOUR FAMILY

NARRATOR-10
As the Hoverlift floats deeper and deeper beneath the surface of the Robot Scrapyard, Space Carrie attempts to question the mole people, to which one replies:

MOLE PERSON
Shut up! We don’t have to answer your questions!

NARRATOR-11
After quite a long descent, our heroes finally reach the bottom of the lift chamber, and they are led into a hall that is not at all what they expected. Everything is vividly illuminated with fluorescent light, and busy mole people are everywhere. Drones fly back and forth along the ceiling of the chamber, occasionally dropping objects into seemingly random tubes. The beep and whirring of instruments can be heard. Space Carrie attempts to take in her surroundings.

SPACE CARRIE
What is this place?

MOLE PERSON
Always with the what is this place! Every frigging time we bring someone down here, right off the bat, “What is this place”? I’m sick of it! Cover for me, you guys, I’m going home to cool off!

NARRATOR-12
As their rescuer and escort storms off, the secondary mole person quickly steps in to take his place.

SPACE CARRIE
Geez, what was that guy’s problem?

MOLE PERSON 2
Watch it, lady! You’re on thin ice after that what is this place crack… There’s supposed to be a robot. Where the hell’s the robot?

SPACE CARRIE
Oh it’s a funny story, really. Kevin there, he’s my space minstrel. He’s got all sorts of musical instruments that he carries around, and his backpack is bigger on the inside. The robot is actually in the backpack. He doesn’t talk, but he’s great company. Kevin that is. Henry’s great company too, but he talks too much--

MOLE PERSON 2
I thought you said it was a funny story.

SPACE CARRIE
I’ll just be quiet.

SOUND FX - BATMAN SEGWAY

MOLE PERSON 2
Here we are, just outside the great throne room. King Pilo will decide your fate.

SPACE CARRIE
Whatever you say. Kevin, better get Henry out of the backpack now.

KEVIN
Coming right up.

SOUND FX - ZZZZZIP

HENRY
Beep boop. You know? It really is pretty nice in there. Beep boop.

SPACE CARRIE
Just be glad you missed the petroleum lizards.

HENRY
Beep boop. So where are we now? Underground I presume? Beep boop.

SPACE CARRIE
Just through there is the throne room, and hopefully the Captain.

NARRATOR -13
The door suddenly swings open, revealing the large throne room and the unexpected chaos within. Captain Cork is locked in a heated game of ping-pong with Pilo, King of the Down-Under Dwellers. There are numerous empty bottles of wine scattered around the room.

ACTOR NOTE: Cork and Pilo are totally hammered in this scene, and having a great time. Think old college buddies reunion. Remember to speak clearly, even though drunk (for the audience ;)

CAPTAIN CORK
Space Carrie!! How the hell are you?!

SPACE CARRIE
What’s going on here?

PILO
[cheerful] Welcome to my beautiful kingdom, Space Carrie! I am King Pilo!

CAPTAIN CORK
Oooh! Pilo! This is the guy I was telling you about! He plays live music wherever we go! Hit it, Kevin!

KEVIN
Rock n Roll

PILO
No kidding! This guy really rocks! You said you picked him off of Space Beard, right?

SPACE CARRIE
I defeated Space Beard singlehandedly with my laser sword.

PILO
Yeah, I heard about you and your laser sword. Hey Corkie, my crew told me that this little lady decapitated a petroleum lizard up above, all on her own.

CAPTAIN CORK
That’s what I was trying to tell you. She’s an actual laser sword master.

PILO
But I thought they were all killed off in the Great Space Crusades.

CAPTAIN CORK
Well it looks like at least one survived.

PILO
It really is a pleasure, Space Carrie. Fancy a game of ping-pong?

HENRY
Beep boop. How much wine did you two drink? Beep boop.

PILO
Stupid robot, you’re just jealous because you’ll never know the joys of inebriation.

HENRY
Beep boop. I know what it’s like to be dizzy and confused. My wheels are still broken. Beep boop.

PILO
Pepe! I need you! Get in here!

SOUND FX - QUICK FOOTSTEPS

PEPE
How can I assist you, your majesty?

PILO
This archaic robot needs a makeover. New wheels, hover-thrusters, holographic comm setup, the whole works. Go ahead and pimp this robot. Spare no expense.

PEPE
Yes, your majesty. I will deliver this junk robot right away to the robot salon and day spa. You’ll scarcely be able to recognize it when they’re done.

PILO
Excellent, Pepe! Before you go, fancy a game of Ping-pong?

PEPE
I don’t know, your majesty… I’m very busy making final preparations for the revolution.

PILO
We’ll talk about that later, Pepe! Space Carrie, Kevin, I’d like you to meet Pepe, my number one guy! We rescued him from the resort side of the planet years ago. He was born and bred for service work in the massive resorts of Green Paradise, but we got him out of there, poor little bugger… now he’s my number one mate!

PEPE
I’m extremely indifferent to meeting you, Space Carrie.

PILO
Pepe. Space Carrie is a laser sword master.

PEPE
Is that so? In that case, I’m slightly happier to have made your acquaintance. Your majesty, the generals are all assembled in the conference hall. They await your briefing. The Revolution is nearly underway! Viva el robot de chatarra!

SPACE CARRIE
Wait wait wait! You guys have to catch me up here. You clearly know each other so, what, was this all some kind of prank?

CAPTAIN CORK
Yep! This old joker really had me for a minute there. Me and Pilo are old college buddies! He used to block for me in my Space Ball days. He may be a little guy, but he’s dense.

PILO
Speaking of dents, how’s that junky old Steem Starship of yours, Corky?

CAPTAIN CORK
Still getting me where I need to go! You were right about that wine, Pilo. Best I ever had!
They take this wine from the Green Paradise resorts. That purple bottle over there in the corner had a 1 million doge price tag on it.

PILO
As much as I’ve enjoyed our ping-ponging and binge drinking, we probably better get down to business. Check out this laser, Corky!

CAPTAIN CORK
I’ve never seen one like that before… what is it?

PILO
That’s my patented Sober Up Beam! Alright! SOBER UP!!

CAPTAIN CORK
No! I don’t wanna go back!

SOUND FX - ZZAAAPPP!

CAPTAIN CORK
Ughh. You ought to call it a Hangover Beam. Alright, hand it over. I’m gonna zap you now.

PILO
Not a chance! I’m the King, I don’t need to sober up! Let’s go, mates! Revolution time!

SPACE CARRIE
Here we go again…

SOUND FX - SEGWAY

NARRATOR -14
What sort of revolution do the Down Under Dwellers have in the works, and where do Captain Cork and Space Carrie fit in? Find out after this!

ANNOUNCER
Got a job that’s a little much for the ole personal jetpack and utility laser? When power’s what you need, call Steemstar Heavy Space Equipment Rental. Anything from a Compact SpaceCat Asteroid Digger to an Industrial Star Destroyer… Steemstar’s got it! You’re only as good as your tools, and these tools are YUGE!!!

SOUND FX - STEEMSTAR FOR YOUR FAMILY

NARRATOR -15
Now, our heroes are gathered with a large group at a conference table as King Pilo prepares to brief his generals on the Revolution, which just so happens to be starting right when Space Carrie and Captain Cork arrived on the planet. Space Carrie has about a gazillion questions, but was told to keep quiet until the question and answer portion of the briefing.

PILO
Alright, men! As you know, we’ve shared this planet for generations in relative peace with the Green Paradise Resort Corporation. We’ve never gotten in their way, never stolen more than we feel we’re owed. Some of our best, including you, General Flinkinflatt, and you, General Klobbitywink, were rescued as children from Green Paradise. Rescued from a life of scraps and servitude and brought to live in freedom in the Land of the Down Under Dwellers. But now that freedom is being threatened by those greedy Green Paradise bastards. We’ve got intel through verifiable channels, that one space week from today, they’ve got plans to start the Demolition of the Robot Scrapyard.

SOUND FX - SURPRISED RUMBLING

That’s right, the time has come for action! If we care about our home, we must defeat the Green Paradise Resort Corporation! I’m proud to announce that we’ve recruited to powerful new allies in the fight for our lives! I present Space Carrie, Laser Sword Master from afar, and Captain Cork, my old college mate. He’s gonna be our laser expert. And this delightful feller who’s been playing music for us is Kevin. He pretty much just plays music.

SPACE CARRIE
Did he just say that he recruited us?

CAPTAIN CORK
Yeah, don’t worry about it. We’ll help these mole people out, then be on our way.

PILO
[continuing] Even if this war takes space years, we will fight to the end, we will have our victory, and FREEDOM!!!

NARRATOR -16
What has Captain Cork gotten Space Carrie into this time? I mean he never even asked Space Carrie if she wanted to be involved in a large-scale interplanetary revolution, but after all, that’s the calling of a laser sword master. To Help the Needy when the Needy Need Help! It looks like our heroes will ally with the Down-Under Dwellers in their effort to defeat the evil Green Paradise Corporation. They may have paid gazillions to name the Planet Green Paradise, but they were about to have their hats handed to them by a bunch of down-under-dwelling mole people. Stay tuned for more adventures next time, on Space Carrie’s Adventures in Space!
