Muut Spex | Episode 2

An oatmeal-colored spaceship enters orbit around the 8th planet.

"Ahh, the 8th planet!" says Spex.

Muut hovers near Spex.

"This one seems promising," says Spex.

"The atmosphere is breathable," says Muut.

"What's in the water?" asks Spex.

"Nothing we cannot filter out," says Muut.

Spex and Muut board the cyan-colored satellite spaceship and fly down to a dangerous-looking section of jungle on the planet. Their cyan ship slowly descends through the gargantuan pitch purple trees.

"You are on your own for a while now," Muut says. Then he floats into the receptacle and powers down.

Spex knows what to do now: figure out how to make hot dogs. First you need to find the meat.

"There's got to be some small critters around here somewhere!" Spex says to himself as he wanders deeper into the jungle. As the mud collecting on his boots is starting to weigh on him, Spex stops to sit on a nearby pitch purple log.

"Wheeeew!" goes Spex. "I'm hungry." In front of him a small creature stands up suddenly.

"Oh! Lunch!" says Spex as he pulls out his laser gun.

Zzzzt! A small hole burns through the creature.

"Got 'em!" says Spex.

High above Spex, orbiting the planet, the oatmeal-colored spaceship waits in silence. Even higher above him the Oort robot descends in search of Muut.
