The Star Knight

Opal fastened a metal buckle belt around his waist, pulled out two wide belts from the belt, wrapped it around his shoulders, fastened it with a click, and pressed the button on his waist, with a buzzing sound, the warm white light of the protective cover lit up around his body.

"I'll go out and have a look." Opal said.

Lei Meng said casually, "I wish you a long life."

Opal got off the cabin bottom of the spaceship, pressed the exit button, the vacuum door closed, and the countercurrent of the air gently blown him out of the cabin, and the field energy space suit cast a light, firmly connecting him to the spaceship.Opal turned around in the universe, and his heart was filled with an indescribable feeling.

That was the first time he had personally come into contact with this boundless space. Under the effect of weightlessness, he floated out of the cabin, slowly rising and sinking. His body flitted outside the porthole in the red light, his legs and slender figure Like a fish with scales glowing in the dark.

"How do you feel?" Raymond put his index finger against his ear and asked.

"It's okay, it's a bit cold." Opal's surroundings were filled with air, and he took a few breaths slowly. The cold was not too obvious, and it didn't hinder his actions.

The temperature is normal, and the real coldness comes from the psychological feeling——in this empty universe, the soul feels the loneliness and coldness personally.Raymond connected to another communication channel in the cabin and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Xun's voice replied: "I'm looking for the wreckage of the explosion."

Sid said, "I've searched for it several times."

Opal said displeased: "I told you not to make trouble!"

Xun said unceremoniously: "I have my own spaceship, what does it have to do with you when I come out? I don't miss your mission!"

Xun searched in space, observed every piece of cosmic dust, they either refracted the light of the red giant star and drifted past him, or stayed quietly in mid-air, metal, ice and rock were sparsely distributed in the space, Ou Bo said: "There are at least tens of millions of impurities around, when are you going to find them?"

Xun said: "Only need a piece of artificial debris..."

"Stop messing around." Raymond and Opal said impatiently at the same time.

Opal said: "If it goes through an explosion, the high temperature can dissolve all the metals, and the shell will be completely blown away. You don't have to think about finding anything around here!"

Xun didn't answer, he gradually drifted away, stubbornly looking for everything he thought was possible.

Opal finally gave up his plan to persuade him, he pressed his ear button and said, "I don't care, let him look here slowly and continue with our plan."

Raymond said: "It doesn't matter, take him back."

Opal pondered for a moment, turned on the miniature propulsion system at the back waist, and flew towards Xun, who immediately shouted: "What are you going to do?! Let me go!"

"Don't fight in space!! You'll kill him!" Raymond yelled loudly, making the two people's ears buzzing.

Opal couldn't help but grab Xun by the collar, and flew back with him. The vacuum chamber was inflated, and he threw Xun into the control room.

Quickly roared: "What does this have to do with you!"

Raymond said angrily: "This is our commission? What does it have to do with you?!"

Xi De hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them to fight, and Xun stared at them with hatred. Opal took off his belt and put it away, and threw it on the sofa, saying: "Don't make any more trouble, I don't have time to deal with you."

Raymond said: "Continue to monitor the route."

Opal stepped forward to open the star map, Xun was attracted by his star map as soon as he got up cursing.

"Where is this made?" Xun asked.

Opal said: "None of your business, behave yourself, or we will throw you on the Black Ant Planet."

Xun said: "You want to murder!"

Opal said: "They are said to be hospitable and will not make you homesick, huh?"

Era-VI pulled Sid's Future Lord ship forward again, speeding through the interstellar dust.

The composition of the elements on the light screen fluctuates, no radioactive elements have been found in the surrounding area so far, and the flight route is fixed. Xun wanted to go back to his spaceship, but Opal insisted on not allowing them. Raymond threw them into the bedroom and locked the door casually to avoid this. The boy added to the confusion, quickly knocked on the door in the room, and shouted: "Sid is my friend! What are you doing! Let me out! I want to help him too!"

Opal said loudly: "Oh! I am touched by your friendship! E7! Turn off the anti-gravity field in the bedroom!"

The banging on the door stopped, and he quickly said loudly, "Let me down!"

Finally it subsided, Xun was still floating in the bedroom cursing, Opal returned to the console and sat down.

Raymond was still staring at the elemental analysis around him, and Opal said, "Didn't you find the remains of the explosion?"

Raymond nodded slowly, and Opal said: "There is something strange, it is very likely that it was forced to land, set the route, and go to Black Ant Star to have a look."

Raymond let out a long breath, bowed to open the route setting, and the two spaceships accelerated at the same time, flying to the nearest planet near here.

There is no space station on the periphery of the planet, and there is a beautiful halo outside the planet. Countless small meteorites surround the equator to form a halo. They occasionally collide with each other and break into powder, but they cannot escape under the gravity of the planet.

When the two spaceships docked, Opal discussed with Raymond for a while, released Xun, and asked him to take Sid back to another spaceship, enter the atmosphere of Black Ant Planet, and find a suitable place to start landing.

"The gravity coefficient is 1.5, my God." Opal said: "Is there such a large gravity? I can't tell."

Raymond said: "This planet is very dense, land carefully."

The landform appeared on the display screen, and there was a huge blue water belt surrounding the entire planet—the only river in the Black Ant Planet, which was estimated to be hundreds of kilometers wide, and the poles were covered with ice and snow. A small river flows radially toward the central equatorial river.

Sid said in the communicator: "What a beautiful planet, it should be very suitable for human habitation."

Opal said: "Forget it, the gravity is so strong, you stay in the cabin and don't go out. They don't have a landing pad... Let me see."

The ground of Black Ant Star is approaching, and almost all parts of the surface are bare rocky mountains, covered with a kind of black moss, the spaceship is wandering around, and Xun said in the intercom: "Look for a random place to land."

Raymond said: "No, I have to find a safe place with cover, which is convenient for docking the spaceship... Is there any landmark building?"

Xun said impatiently: "Let's go there, 35 degrees to your left, I saw a big statue landing behind..."

Opal followed Xun's expectations, and Sid said in the communicator: "It's easy to get stuck there..."

Xun said: "Don't worry about it, I'm better at flying a spaceship than you..."

Opal and Raymond really lost to him.

The spaceship flew to a plateau area, surrounded by majestic mountains and rivers passing through canyons. The surface in the middle of the wilderness showed gray curved grooves surrounded by rings, like a huge annual ring.

In the middle stood a stone statue.

"Is it a human statue?" Raymond asked.

Xun said: "It's covered with moss, it must be an abandoned place."

The Future Overlord spewed out an airflow and slowly descended to the ground. Seeing that the stone statue was crumbling, Opal shouted at the same time as Raymond: "Be careful!"

The spaceship landed with a loud bang, and the stone statue tilted at an angle. Three seconds later, it fell forward with a bang, and fell to pieces with a muffled sound.

Opal: "..."

Raymond: "..."

Opal: "Can you stop messing around before you figure out the situation!"

Xun said impatiently: "You two are still very young! You don't have any experience at all. There are no houses or life around here. There is only a human sculpture. Combined with the surrounding ravines, you can't think of any use?"

Opal said: "What's the use?"

Xun said: "It was built by the predecessors and used as the coordinates of the spaceship! If it is broken, it will be broken. Just make a ground beacon again!"

Epoch-VI followed behind and landed slowly, and Opal was robbed without making a sound, and went to detect the oxygen composition on the planet.

The oxygen concentration is slightly higher than 25%, and the air is very humid. It is indeed a habitable planet. Raymond prepared a translator and came out. The four of them looked around in the wilderness. The sky was gray and the air was full of moist and pleasant smells. odor.

Raymond was debugging a translator, and a group of black spots below the canyon were moving rapidly towards the high place.

Opal said: "Here we come! Let me see!"

"Don't go there!" Raymond said, "Beware of them attacking you."

The black spots climbed up against the rock wall, there were thousands of them, and the momentum was very spectacular.

"呵——" a giant black ant headed by grinned at Opal.

Opal: "..."

Raymond pointed the universal translator at it and realized a very serious problem - the language of the Black Ant Star was not recorded by the Star Alliance.

Thousands of ants surrounded them, and one ant grinned viciously at Opal, bared, and exposed its jaws. All the antennae of the ants were moving, as if invisible electric waves were being transmitted in this group.

Opal: "What are they talking about?"

Raymond: "I don't know... there is no such language in the translator. Are you sure they are really hospitable?"

Opal: "That's the teacher's evaluation, I... still trust him."

Xun finally became quiet, he said: "They want to attack us."

Sid said, "That's right, showing the jaws... What did we do wrong?"

Opal: "Maybe you just misunderstood, the way they greet is—"

"呵——" Opal tried to make that strange sound towards them.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!" The huge black ants, one person tall, rose and fell one after another, their eyes turned red, and they stared at Opal.

Raymond: "What about the tentacles on the head?"

Opal: "This should be saying hello...wait."

All the ants stopped their rapidly waving tentacles at the same time and scattered in all directions. A group of ants actually lifted two spaceships up!It disappeared after a while.

Opal looked blank: "Hey! What are you doing!"

Xun: "Will you help us park the car? Interesting."

A small wooden stick was handed over to the leader, the largest black ant. It looked at Raymond and regarded him as their leader.Raymond was the tallest with the most outstanding figure. He lowered his head slightly.

The group of ants pushed away, and the big black ant drew a few patterns on the ground with a branch.

Opal: "What does it mean?"

Raymond: "It... means that the place where we landed is their altar."

Opal: "..."

fast:"……"

Sid: "..."

Raymond: "And also smashed their... statues."

Opal: "Xun! I knew that nothing good would happen with you!"

Xun: "How could I know!"

All the ants came around again in an instant, showing their sharp jaws towards the four of them. The leader, the black ant, waved a branch to drive them away, and wrote and drew a line of strange things, with pictures and strange symbols on it.

Raymond: "It said, let us be responsible for repairing the statue and apologize to all 'people', so that we both have a chance to talk. Otherwise, we won't let us leave this planet easily."

Opal heaved a sigh of relief, and Xun wanted to say something more, but Sid covered his mouth.

"How do you know their characters?" Opal asked in surprise.

Raymond: "Look, it drew several rows of ants, and everyone stood neatly, facing the sculpture, as if praying, so I understand that this is their god, or something very important. It puts the neck , the ankle is circled, referring to the fallen statue over there, which means let's fix it."

Opal: "..."

The leader, the black ant, waved the branch, and all the ants were wiped out in a swish. The remaining four stood in the middle of the mossy plain, and a cool wind blew by.

Fifteen minutes later, Opal and Raymond started repairing the statue that was destroyed by Xun with no expression on their faces.The idol is a human being, male, wearing a cloth robe, with bare feet under the robe. According to the proportion of the figure, it is estimated that it is about the same height as Raymond.Should be a very handsome, simple man.

Of course, it's a different story now that the severed head and hands are lying in the wet moss.

It is an impossible task to put the five-meter-high statue on the pedestal and fix it, especially when the spaceship is completely removed.Raymond went to the ants to borrow a rope, and Opal went to chop a tree with a long-handled axe. The ax and the big sword were crossed and tied, and a winch was made to turn the statue little by little, and put it on.

Sid and Xun hugged their knees and sat watching from a distance.

The gravity of this planet is too great, Opal was exhausted and out of breath after working for a while, and said angrily: "Don't just watch!"

Sid said: "I...my physical strength is not enough."

Sid was tired from just sitting, and Shun was completely paralyzed.

"Adhesive is needed, huh... huh..." Raymond said, "Otherwise it will fall off."

"Forgive me, where did you get the adhesive." Opal panted, "It would be great if it can be restored."

Sid said, "Is it okay to use mud? The mud here is very viscous."

Sid mixed some clay and handed it to Xun, and Xun bowed to fill it up on the statue's ankle. Lei Meng said, "What occupation did you use to do?"

Sid said, "Plant breeder."

Opal felt a little strange, why was Xun so honest in front of Sid?The relationship between the two seems to have become very good, is it because of the previous reasons?Something must have happened somewhere he hadn't noticed.

Raymond said casually, "Why are you helping Sid like this? There's no money to make."

Quickly rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Mercenaries must earn money to work?"

"Yo yo——" Opal said with a fake smile, "Are you also a mercenary?"

Xun didn't answer, Lei Meng nodded and said: "Plant breeder, sounds very impressive!"

Sid moved a little to the side, letting Xun sit down with his shoulders,

Neither of them commented, and Sid was shivering a little in the cold, wearing a fast coat.

This planet can't even see the sun, only a white moon with a purple halo on the horizon, a dazzling meteorite belt across the zenith, and the planet's halo refracts the light of distant stars.

Opal carried the big head of the statue, and pushed it to the pedestal. Raymond lowered the rope to hang it up and put it in place. Both of them were panting with exhaustion.

"I'm talking about you guys." Opal always felt inconceivable: "How did you get along so well? Have you been together for dozens of days?"

"It's none of your business." Xun asked alertly.

Sid laughed, "Just friends."

Xun immediately became unhappy, and Sid looked at Xun with a half-smile, and added, "A good friend who plays Fantasy Paradise together."

Xun couldn't help laughing.

Opal: "!!!"

Raymond nearly dropped the sculpture's head.

Sid said, "Haven't you two ever played with that thing?"

Opal: "You... what are you talking about? Don't mention it."

Xun laughed and said, "You see, he looks like a country bumpkin, just like a barbarian. He came from some primitive society."

"Hey!" Opal said angrily, "You are the barbarian!"

Raymond said: "I'm also a hillbilly, I never play that."

Opal's face was flushed, and Lei Meng said again: "Hold the statue up, don't fall down again."

Raymond bowed and stood on the shoulders of the statue to hang his head up. This required a good sense of balance so as not to cause the freshly bonded statue to fall.

Finally finished, Opal took a few steps back and looked at the statue. His hair was a little long, and there was no name on the pedestal.

Opal went to find water to wash his hands and walked away.

But Sid found one thing - the sculptured face shape, nose bridge, brow bone and lips, looked like a person.

"That should be enough." Raymond stepped back to look at the statue.

Sid looked up. He looked at the idol, then at Raymond, and said, "He looks a bit like you."

Raymond: "?"

Raymond frowned, Sid turned around and said, "Opal!"

Opal didn't hear it, and had already run to the edge of the canyon. He quickly said, "Yes, the hair is longer, but the facial features are exactly the same. Hey, are you their god?"

Raymond said, "I've never been here before, do I look alike?"

Sid looked at Raymond suspiciously, and said, "You just... It's natural to communicate with ants, I think it's a bit suspicious."

Raymond couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't be kidding, if I am their god, how could these guys let the gods repair their own statues?"

"That's right." Xun said, "You really haven't been here?"

Raymond said impatiently: "Really not!" He packed up the rope and returned it. The ants thought that Opal was going to escape, so they escorted him back. A black ant wrote and drew, indicating that they could follow and talk to the leader. talk.

Ants have no vocal organs, and the only sound is the whizzing sound of rubbing their mouthparts.The four of them walked for a long time in the wilderness, and Sid was the first to be unable to move, so he quickly carried him on his back and walked across the moss plain. The creature is like a wheel, padding under a large wooden board.

Opal looked down curiously, when the wheel creature suddenly raised something like tentacles against the board, the four of them flicked, and Raymond grabbed his collar to prevent it from falling off.Everyone sat still, and the wheel creature started to roll, just like that, carrying people forward at high speed, passing mountains and mountains, and paddling around in the water like a propeller when entering the water, carrying them across the river.

Finally, it stopped in a forest full of strange plants. A tunnel led to the dark underground. The wheeled cart rolled into it and stopped before going too deep.

There are illuminated minerals all around, and the tunnels extend in all directions. Opal said: "This is... an ant nest."

The group of four looked at the dense crowd of ants slithering around in the empty hall, and felt a little nervous.In another instant, all the black ants dispersed, crawled into each hole, and disappeared without a trace.

A huge black ant stared at them, Opal said: "Is it the one that asked us to repair the statue just now?"

Raymond: "How do I know? They all look exactly the same."

There is a sand table on the ground, which is used for conversation, Opal said: "Now we should be able to talk."

Sid said: "You look like their god, can you get extra points?"

Raymond's facial expression twitched, and he said to Sid: "In our eyes, they all look the same. In other words, how do they see us humans? Of course there is no difference."

Xun said: "According to their logic, as long as the statue has a head and hands, it is enough, and the face is actually superfluous..."

Lei Meng signaled everyone to shut up and stop talking. After thinking for a moment, he took the branch from the ant and began to ask questions to the leader of the opponent on the sand table.

Raymond drew a picture and learned how the ants expressed when repairing the statue. He said hello first with the pattern, introduced himself, explained that they had no hostility, and that the previous behavior was purely accidental. Then he asked the other party for the names of a few big ants.

The leader of the big black ant drew several ants on the sand table. Triangular, circular, and spiral symbols emanated from their antennae to distinguish them from each other.

"What do you mean?" Opal asked.

Raymond pondered for a while, and replied: "It should mean that they are not distinguished by names like us humans. We all have no names and rely on the smell on our bodies to identify each other."

Opal nodded slowly, watching Raymond writing and scribbling, and found that Raymond is still very smart, he does have the ability to be the head of the regiment, he is calm and stable, no worse than those high-level mercenaries he has seen before The regimental leaders are inferior.If you change Opal yourself, you can't think of many things.

After Lei Meng finished drawing, he pressed his left fist on his right shoulder together with Opal, performing a mercenary courtesy.

The big black ant on the opposite side watched quietly, and the last few ants intertwined their antennae and bowed slightly towards them.The two parties met and reached a friendly relationship. Raymond expressed his question with patterns: [Let's find a spaceship and a few humans. ] Raymond drew the spaceship and the symbols of several villains on the sand table based on Sid's description, and there was a suitcase next to it.

The big black ant crossed the spaceship, indicating that he hadn't seen it before, and circled the box again.

Opal: "!!!"

Sid: "!!!"

Sid: "What! They saw my dad! Where is he!!"

Raymond said: "Don't be impulsive! Opal, hold him down!"

There was a small commotion among the ants, and the leader kept watching them with its compound eyes. Sid said to the leader, "I beg you, tell me where my father is!"

There were ants watching the excitement all around. They seemed to be very curious, and quickly hugged Sid and whispered comfort. Lei Meng drew an adult leading a small man on the sand table, and the small man circled it and pointed to Sid.

"You're so smart!" Opal exclaimed.

Raymond smiled modestly.

The leader understood and nodded slowly.

It drew rolling hills and rivers on the ground, and the four of them held their breaths against each other. The big black ant drew a very complicated map, which filled the entire sand table, and finally drew an arched thing in the upper left corner.

Opal: "???"

He was puzzled, turned his head to look, and walked slowly to the side of the ants. An ant came over and touched him with its tentacles. Opal touched it with his hand.

Raymond said: "Don't move around, I don't want to cause trouble again."

The ants backed away, and the atmosphere was very harmonious at this moment. The relationship between the two parties was so good that they could be called brothers and sisters. As expected, they were very warm and hospitable. People and ants watch the sand table together.

The branch of the big black ant returned to the lower right corner of the sand table, and it drew a strange, huge monster. The monster is a bit like an ant, but it has wings and is very large. Finally, this ant with wings is connected The small box made a circle, drew a line, and flew directly towards the arched object.

"What does this mean?" Raymond narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

"This thing." Opal looked at it for a long time and said, "With the box, did you go somewhere?"

Raymond pointed to the pattern, then pointed to his head, spread his hands, and made an incomprehensible movement, like a polite gentleman. The big black ant observed them for a long time, then turned his head to communicate with other ants with their antennae for a while .

Both Opal and Raymond were at a loss, and quickly said, "Ask it, where is our spaceship."

"No rush." ​​Raymond said, "Let's figure things out first, there are too many puzzles."

This time the ants talked for a long time, nearly half an hour, and finally reached a consensus.A group of ants moved out of the way, and the big black ant signaled everyone to follow them.

Opal and Raymond followed the leading ants. When they communicated, they could raise their front feet, but when they were on the road, they moved with six legs together. They walked very fast, stopping and going, and walked for a long time in the underground tunnel. Far, and finally entered a huge and spectacular space.

The ants surrounded the four of them, and the leader pointed to the scene in the space, which was full of dilapidated egg shells.

Raymond said, "This is their nursery."

Opal nodded slowly, the surroundings glowed with mineral glimmers, and there was a cloudy, dark red film in the center of the nursery nest, which was wrapped with living objects, and something was slowly pulsating inside.

Raymond became more and more confused, and asked Opal, "Do you know what it means?"

Opal seemed to have vaguely touched something, and said, "The one in the middle is their queen ant...?"

"Queen?" Opal murmured, "Queen! I understand! This matter has something to do with the queen! That thing is not the queen! The queen flew away! What is that?"

Lei Meng immediately understood, there was no sand table around, he signaled that he understood, the big black ant led them back, Opal and Lei Meng quickly started talking, and now they understood everything.

Sid asked urgently, "Where are the people? Where are the others?"

Lei Meng: "Wait, let's sort out the information first. The queen took the box and flew up the mountain. What does the arc represent? Is it a plant grown in the box? Or maybe we misunderstood it."

Opal: "At least what is known so far is that the spaceship was not destroyed in the explosion."

Raymond nodded slowly, and Opal said again: "This is not an accident, it is a human factor, and it has something to do with the person carrying the box. If you find him, you will be able to find Sid's father."

Lei Meng hummed, and they returned to the central sand table, Lei Meng said: "But I don't understand, what does it want to show us?"

Several people stopped, and Lei Meng began to ask the big black ant. The big black ant drew a small ant next to the queen, then drew a line, circled towards the queen, and circled back.

Opal finally understood.

"Evolution!" said Sid, "I've studied a little entomology, and it must be because they lost their queen, so one of the population is evolving towards the queen!"

Opal also remembered it. He read it in textbooks. This is a natural regulation mechanism—a method for a group to maintain its ability to reproduce itself after the queen dies or disappears.

He said in a deep voice, "So we'd better get the queen ant back by the way."

Opal took a deep breath and said, "This commission seems troublesome, but there is no reward."

Lei Meng said: "When is it? I still think about the reward. I don't really expect these ants to go to the trade union to entrust any tasks... Forget it, let's go and see first."

Lei Meng signaled the big black ant to find a spaceship for them, but the big black ant refused to let them leave, smoothed the sand table and drew a fat thing.

Opal: "?"

Raymond: "..."

Opal: "It's too much effort to communicate with these guys."

Raymond twitched: "What can I do..."

While speaking, a group of ants carried a huge, half-dead bug into the ground.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Xun said: "It doesn't mean it wants to invite us to dinner?"

The ants came out of the tunnel extending in all directions, and all flocked to the fat, white bug more than ten meters long, and Lei Meng's handsome face turned green on the spot.

A group of ants gnawed on a bug. The scene was really spectacular. There were splashes of mucus everywhere, and the skin of the bug was peeled off bit by bit. Sid turned around in an instant and vomited. Raymond couldn't help avoiding it, leaning on the wall Also started vomiting.

Everyone ran to the corner and didn't dare to look any more, Opal just felt a nausea. Fortunately, the courses in the mercenary training and the power of faith effectively helped him successfully defend against the nausea.

"I, I, I... I won't eat." Opal said to the big black ant.

The leader of the big black ant: "?"

Opal drew a small man with long hands and long legs on the sand table, pointed to Raymond, and indicated that it was him, with a protruding stomach, and said, "He is pregnant, so he cannot eat bugs."

Raymond roared angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"

The leader of the big black ant: "???"

Opal began to delay time with the big black ant incoherently, saying: "A child appeared in the stomach, here, look. We don't eat this, the spaceship finds it out, and left, I must bring you the queen ant back... Goodbye. "

A group of ants pulled out the worm's intestines, dragged them over to offer to Opal, and dragged them to the ground. The mucus-laden intestines completely and directly penetrated the limit of Opal's tolerance, and he finally vomited.

Half an hour later, Raymond made the big black ants understand that they would not eat these things through repeated insistence, and the ants rushed out of the cave again to carry their spaceship back. Everyone was spinning and exhausted.

The two spaceships were carried by the ants to the open space outside the woods.

Lei Meng told the leader of the black ant that they were going to take a look. The leader of the black ant led a group of ants on the ground to guide the way, and the four of them controlled two spaceships into the sky, flying at low altitude, and slowly flew to the place guided by the black line on the ground.

After flying for a long time, the endless mossy plains were surrounded by densely packed ants, and the scene was extremely spectacular.The black ants spontaneously made way for an open space, the spaceship landed, and Opal was stunned when he got out of the spaceship.

In the middle of the wilderness, the ring-shaped building drawn by the ants earlier is a lonely starry sky gate.

"Isn't this a device that can only be installed outside the atmosphere?" Opal said incredulously, "How could it be placed on a planet?!"
