The Space Rovers -- "Journey to Jurrassia  -- Part 2"

The Canius Minor was sitting 'nose to nose' with a huge alien spacecraft,
one which had just activated it's weapons systems.  Captain Persia was
prepared for the worst, when all of a sudden, the strange ship 'hailed'
them.

PERSIA:  Bruno, open a channel, on the front viewing screen

The crew was stunned to see the 'alien', who closely resembled a
stegasaurus!  The huge reptile began to speak, but in a very odd language
none of the Space Rovers could understand.

PERSIA:  (gesturing with her hands)  We can't understand you!

The stegasaurus motioned to another member of his crew, who pressed a
button on it's panel, and then the 'alien' could at last be understood.

ZELDOR:  Greetings from the planetary alliance of Jurrassia, I am Zeldor,
commander of the star vessel Degalo.  Please do not be alarmed, we mean no
harm.

PERSIA:  I am Capain Persia of the spaceship Canius Minor. we, too come in
peace but must ask you why you powered up your weapons.

ZELDOR:  At first we believed that your vessel had caused our deep space
probe to malfunction, but upon further study, we can see now that it was
damaged by a meteor or asteriod.   I apologize on behalf of Jurrassia,
madam.

PERSIA:  Thank you, Zeldor, apology accepted.  How are we now able to
understand each other's speech?

ZELDOR:  We have a device acts as a universal translator, we use it to
communicate with the various species that comprise the Jurrassic Alliance.
 Your species is very new to us, where do you come from, Captain Persia?

PERSIA:  We are from the planet Earth and ....

ZELDOR (shaking his head)  this is impossible, we have scanned that planet
in the past with other probes.  You and your crew look nothing like earth
beings, however, you do resemble the domesticed animal you call dogs.

PERSIA:  Yes, we are dogs, Zeldor, sent to this sector of space by earth
being to investigate this damaged probe of yours.
ZELDOR (smiling)  I see.  So your species are also space explorers and
scientists!  Wonderful!   On behalf of the Jurrissic Alliance, I official
invite you and your crew to return with me to Jurrassia.  Our King will be
very interested in your journeys and technical achievements.

PERSIA:  Are you asking us to come with you, or telling us that we must
come with you

ZELDOR:  Captain, don't let our appearance fool you.  The Jurrassic
Alliance is a peaceful confederation.   You don't have to return with you
if you don't want to.  That is strictly your choice.

PERSIA:  May I have some time to discuss with decision with my crew?

ZELDOR:  Of course, we will patiently await your next transmission and as
a gesture of goodwill, we are powering down our weapon systems now.
Zeldor out.

PERSIA:  Whitey....

WHITEY:  It's true, the Degalo has deactivated it's weapons.

PERSIA:  Opinions?

WHITEY:  This is a wonderful opportunity!  An entire planet of dinosaurs
with high tech capibities!  We can learn much with further contact

BOOMER:  That big lizard seems harmless enough, but what about the rest of
them?

DAISY:  I'm agree with handsome .. er ... I mean Whitey!   Let's pursue
this!

FLASH:  Yes, and I saw him first, Daisy!

DAISY:  Did not!

PERSIA:  Ladies, this is a first contact with a new species, not the
Dating Game!

ALEXANDER:  My gut feeling tells me that this is a good opportunity, but
my mind tells me to be cautious.

MARIE:   This is the mission of this vessel, ma'am, to explore, find new
life and make a difference in space, yes?

PERSIA:  You're all correct, but especially you, old man.   We'll go, but
we'll do so very carefully.  Bruno, reestablish contact with Zeldor

BRUNO:  Channel open

PERSIA:  Commander Zeldor, we accept your government's invitation to visit.

ZELDOR:  I am so pleased!   I will contact Jurrassia at once!   Does your
vessel have warp capabity?

PERSIA:  Yes, it does, Commander.

ZELDOR:  Then please follow us to Jurrassia.   We will arrive there in
thirty of your minutes using maximum warp.

PERSIA:  Lead on, Zeldor, and thank you!

The Degalo turns ninety degrees and speeds off into deep space, followed
closely by the Canius Minor.   They soon stop at a large greenish blue
planet, which looks a bit similiar to earth.  Captain Persia is hailed by
King Rhinon, leader of the Jurrassic Alliance (who happens to be a
.triceritops) on the front view screen.

KING RHINON:  Earth creatures, welcome to our home planet.  Commander
Zeldor tells me that you are also explorers and scientists!   Will you and
your officers please dine with us later this evening?    I and our
alliance welcomes you with open claws!

PERSIA:  Yes, we will dine with you, your highness!   When would you like
for us to .....

KING RHINON:  The sooner the better, Captain!   We have never had earth
visitors before, allow me to personally show you our world!

PERSIA:  You flatter us, your majesty!  We will depart within the hour.
(transmission ends)    Now to select our landing party...  Old man, I need
you here in case anything goes wrong, alright?

ALEXANDER:  (sadly)  I understand, Captain.

PERSIA:   Ok, we'll take Whitey, Bruno, Saundra, Boomer ....

GRUNT:   Grrrrrrr  Growl!!!!   Grrrrrrrrr

PERSIA:  You wish to protect me is admirable, Grunt, yes, you can come
also.

ALEXANDER:   Captain, I suggest you take one more security person, a
medical specialist, and ......

JAKE:   ME!!!   C'mon, Captain!   I want to go!

AISY and FLASH (together):  And what about us?

PERSIA:   Alright settle down everyone.   Daisy, Flash, you are civilian
personnel so I can't let you leave on a potentially dangerous mission.

DAISY and FLASH (together):   PLEASE??????

PERSIA:  that sad eyes routine may work on humans, but not me, report to
engineering on the double, and that's an order!

DAISY and FLASH (together, sadly)  Yes, ma'am

PERSIA:   I will follow your advice, Alex, let's have Sheena, Rasputin and
yes, you Jake, for our delegation

JAKE (shouting)   YEE-HAW!!!!!!

PERSIA:  Call Francis and Marie to the bridge, they'll take over
navigation and helm control, and call up Calyspo to take over the
communications station.   Old man, I want you to maintain a standard orbit
of Jurrassia.  If ANYTHING goes wrong with us on the planet's surface,
your orders are to leave immediately for Earth.  I will not endanger the
lives of my crew, is that understood?

ALEXANDER:  Yes, ma'am

SAUNDRA:  Captain, may I ask, why are we taking Rasputin and Sheena along?

PERSIA:  I know Rasputin seems a little rough around the edges, but he's
the best security man next to Grunt we have!  And Sheena?  She is a
doctor, but she's also a good talker, we'll need that for polite dinner
conversation.

SAUNDRA:  But how will we get her to shut up?   Once she starts talking
she ......

PERSIA:  I know, I know, it's a risk we'll have to take.    Bruno, contact
all members of the landing party, tell them to assemble at the
shuttlecraft bay in fifteen minutes

BRUNO:  Aye-aye, Captain!

Minutes later, Persia, Bruno, Whitey, Saundra, Jake, Grunt and Boomer
arrive at the shuttlecraft bay.   Sheena is already there to greet them,
Rasputin arrives two minutes later.

PERSIA:  Ok, listen up!   We are going to Jurrassia to represent the
Earth, let's all behave ourselves, show manners and respect to our hosts.
 Any questions?

SHEENA:  Yea, I got one!   What's for dinner?    I hope it's something
light, because I have to watch me figure and .....

RASPUTIN:  (turns to Sheena)  Go ahead and eat, I'll watch your figure!

SHEENA:  (angerly)  You're a bloomin' idiot, Rassy!

PERSIA:  Enough!   Rasputin, I will warn you one last time, either act
like a responsible member of this crew or so help me you'll see the rest
of our voyage in a detention cell, do I make myself clear, Ensign?

RASPUTIN (frowning)  Yes, ma'am

PERSIA:  Ok, let's all climb aboard, Saundra, you have the helm, let's go
see what's for dinner!

The nine board a shuttlecraft and in minutes they're on their way to the
planet's surface.   As they near the capital city, Grunt growls as he
notices several pterodactyles flying along side their ship!

PERSIA:  Down, Grunt!   I think that these are only escorts, nothing more.

RASPUTIN:  (frightened)  I hope you're right, Captain!

The ship touches down gently on the rooftop of the King's Castle.
Eagerly awaiting their arrival are King Phinon, and his two aides Roberto
(a brontosaurus) and Milex (a T-Rex).

KING PHINON:  Welcome, honored guests!   Please, let us show you around my
castle.   This is Milex, our prime minister and this is Roberto, a top
technical adviser, or in your earth terms, he's our Computer Dinosaur!

ROBERTO:  WOW!!!  This is great!   Real earth creatures!   We can swap
notes, discuss physics .....

MILEX: (sarcasticly)  You creatures are rather puny, aren't you?

PERSIA (telepathically to her crew)   Easy, everyone, let's be courteous.

PERSIA (outloud)  Sir, we are by your standards, small.   By the way, how
is it that your species is so familiar with Earth?   Only by your probe
readings?

KING PHINON:  Come, we'll discuss this on our way to the dining room.

Everyone walks through a door and down a long corridor.

KING PHINON:  This may surprise you, Captain, but long long ago, our
ancestors settled on your planet!

PERSIA:  Yes!   The earth creatures called humans have found many dinosaur
bones and remains....

KING PHINON:  (sadly)  yes, those were the ones who were left behind, we
evacuated the planet when we detected an large meteor heading for it.
There wasn't enough room for the entire colony to escape.... We could only
watch from a distance as the impact destroyed nearly all life on the
planet.

BOOMER:  On earth, we were taught that something destroyed the dinosaurs,
and that all dinosaurs were uncivilized animals that ....

ROBERTO:  Uncivilized?   I should say not!   We have a code of honor that
we all live by, the Dinosaur Code, it's our central rule of law, it has
been for millions of years.

WHITEY:  Sir, isn't it true that many meat eating dinosaurs preyed upon
other plant eating dinosaurs for food?

ROBERTO:  No, of course not!  We Jurrassians would never resort to
cannibalism.  However, perhaps those of our decendants that survived the
meteor's impact may have went wild and resorted to eating one another to
survive.  YUCK, what a dreadful idea that is.

MILEX: (with a evil grin)  I don't know, that concept somehow appeals to
me.......

SAUNDRA:  Well, if this is true, sir, then what to the meat-eating
dinosaurs here eat?

KING PHINON:  This planet has an abundance of green plants and types of
animal protein to consume.  We and the Alliance have plenty to eat because
we share, our food, our science, our way of life.  This is why we haven't
had a galactic war in this region of space for eons!

PERSIA:  Sounds like paradise, your highness

KING PHINON:  Yes, but there are a few in Jurrassia who feel that we
should be conquerers.  That we should hold the Alliance together by force,
not by peace.   This goes against our Dinosaur Code and is not acceptable
to me!

MILEX:  Those few say that you're too soft, my King, and that since we are
by far the  dominate form of life in this part of space and since we have
a fleet of space vessels at our command that we should ....

KING PHINON (shaking his head)  Yes, Milex, I have heard their arguments,
but let's not burden our honored guests with our domestic quarrels.   I
believe that dinner is ready, the dining room entrance is at the end of
this corridor.

Everyone enters a huge room with a large table in the center of it.
There are many chairs around the table, and two servants bring plate after
plate of exotic looking food and place them in the middle of the table.

ROBERTO:  We realize that you earth creatures are much smaller than we
are, so we have prepared a smaller sized table for you to be seated at.
It was a challenge, but we also have prepared for you eating utensils and
plates that are 'earth size' also.   I hope your crew won't mind,  see,
your table is set up on the far end of our larger table.

BOOMER:  Good thing none of us has a fear of heights!

ROBERTO:  Please, if you and your people will climb on top of my head, I
will lift you up to your dinner!

Roberto lowered his head and the nine Space Rovers climb up and are lifted
to their table.   Roberto stays on the Rover's side of the table while
King Phinon and Milex are seated near the center.   As they all dine,
servants continue to move in and out of the room, serving food and water.
 As the Space Rovers dine, Sheena begins talking to Roberto.  The other
Rovers begin to get annoyed but Roberto is a hanging on her every word.

SHEENA:   And another thing, Roberto, I'm curious.   What is this
wonderful meat dish in the green bowl?

ROBERTO:  We call it Blewnoc, but I believe you on earth call it something
else... hmmmmmm.... let me think.

SAUNDRA:  It's very tasty, whatever it is!

RASPUTIN:  I like the stuff in the blue bowl.   Very crunchy!

ROBERTO:  Oh, I believe you call that turtle!   The shells gives it that
extra crunch!

RASPUTIN:  (mumbling to himself)  I think I'm gonna hurl!

WHITEY:  Please pass me more Brewnoc, I believe this is made with some
sort of fowl.

ROBERTO:  That's it!   You call them eagles on earth!

SHEENA:  Eagles?  WOW!   Didn't know an endangered bird could taste so
delicious!

RASPUTIN: (mumbling to himself)  Now I'm really gonna hurl!

JAKE:  WOW!  this is mighty fine grub there, partner!

ROBERTO: Funny you should mention that, Jake, because that's what the
green dip in the yellow bowl is made from!  Of course, we add spices to it
for a more zesty taste!

SAUNDRA (frowning, whispering to Boomer)  I thought that was guacamole dip!

GRUNT:  Grrrrrrrrr   Growl!!!!!!!    Grrrrrrrrr!

ROBERTO:  Of course you can have more Brewnoc, my friend!   I wish I could
cook this well, good thing I'm on the royal staff so I can eat here daily!

SHEENA:  y'know, Roberto, I'll bet if you set your mind to it, you could
cook like a house on fire!

ROBERTO:  Really?

SHEENA:  Sure!  We could even swap recipes!   I'd love to learn how to
cook eagles and turtles!

BOOMER:  (turns to Persia and whispers)  She's weird!

KING PHINON:  (raising a goblet)  Let's have a toast to our visitors from
earth!   Here's to the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

Everyone lifts their glassses to the toast.

MILEX: (with a sinister grin)   Your majesty, I insist that our guests
spend the night in the castle with us!   After all, we can show them our
famous hospitality!   We have plenty of spare rooms, one is big enough for
all of them to stay in!

PERSIA:  Well......

KING PHINON:  Yes, Milex, that's a wonderful suggestion!

ROBERTO:  That's great!  We can talk more!   Please, tell me more about
your wonderful planet!

BOOMER:  (elbows Sheena)  That's your cue, Sheena!

King Phinon and Milex retire early, but the Space Rovers and Roberto chat
well into the evening.  Later that night, Roberto leads the Rovers to
their room.

ROBERTO:  Sorry, Rovers.   We didn't have time to prepare 'earth size'
beds and other fixtures.  If you'd like, I'll give y'all a lift to the top
of the bed!

PERSIA:  That's Ok, Roberto, we'll manage and thank you for all your
kindness!

ROBERTO:  Ok, goodnight, my friends!   I'll leave the door open, see y'all
in the morning!

PERSIA:  Well, Rovers, shall we go to bed?

RASPUTIN:  Ma'am, we'll need mountain climbing gear for this!

PERSIA:  Not really, Saundra, Sheena, can you use your levetation powers
to carry us all up there?

SAUNDRA:  Sure, but I think it'd work better if we all held hands, it'd
give us a better point of contact

SHEENA:  Right you are, Saundra!

All nine of the Rovers hold hands while Saundra and Sheena concentrate.
Soon, they are all floating upward until they land on top of the huge bed.
  There are two huge pillows near the headboard, and a long greenish-blue
bedspread covers it.

BOOMER:   This bed is SO huge, we could get lost if one of us had to get a
drink of water later

PERSIA:  Well, this is not exactly deluxe accommidations here, but we
can't offend our hosts.  We'll make the best of it.

WHITEY:  I suggest that we contact the Canius Minor and advice them of our
situation

PERSIA:  Good idea!    (talking into her wrist communicator)  Persia to
the Canius Minor, come in please!

CALYPSO: (through the speaker)  Captain, it's good to be hearing your
voice again!

PERSIA:  Calypso, let me talk to Alex please

CALYSPO:  Sure ting, Persia, he be on the speaker now

ALEXANDER:  Persia!   Are you and your people alright?  When will you be
returning?

PERSIA:  Our hosts have asked us to stay the night here, how are things up
there, old man?

ALEXANDER:  All is quiet, the Degalo has been joined by two other ships,
and they're all holding their positions for now

PERSIA:  So far, so good here.  But remember what I told you, at the first
sign of trouble....

ALEXANDER:  I know, Persia

PERSIA:  Well, we'll need to get some sleep now, I'll report to you in the
morning, Persia out.
SHEENA:   Alright, we ladies will sleep on this side of the bed, you
blokes can all go up to the other side and sleep.

BOOMER:  Agreed, c'mon men, let's move out!

RASPUTIN:  Don't you think we should all stay together?

SHEENA:  So you can put your puppy paws on me?  I think not!

PERSIA:  No, Sheena, I think Rasputin is scared, not looking for romance,
right Ensign?

RASPUTIN (looking embarrassed):  Well, I am a security officer, something
might happen ..... to you ladies, I mean ......

PERSIA:  You have a good point, Ensign.   Grunt, you have the first watch,
in four hours, let Rasputin relieve you.  Our hosts have been very
courteous so far, but I still have a feeling that all isn't paradise on
this planet.

The night proceeds without incident, except for Sheena's loud snoring and
Rasputin dreaming "outloud" about a romantic fantasy date.   In the
morning, the nine Space Rovers arose from their slumber.  Roberto was
there to greet them, and gave them a 'lift' off the bed and a 'ride' to
the dining room for breakfast.  King Phinon had just entered the dining
room when Milex can running up to him, looking very upset.

KING PHINON:  What's the matter, Milex, did the pterodactyles ruin your
vehicle's paint job again?

MILEX:  No, sire, tragic news!   Last night, someone sabotaged our main
defense computer room in the castle!   They attempted to destroy our main
operating system, but thanks to my efforts, full operation has been
restored.

KING PHINON:  Commendable work, Minister Milex, but who would have done
such a thing?

MILEX:  (pointing at the Space Rovers)  it was them!   I saw then all in
the hallway near the computer room last night!

PERSIA:  You're highness, this is simply not true .....

MILEX:  Don't listen to her, my king!   It's like I've been telling you
before.   We are always vunerable to attack, and this didn't happen until
THEY came here!

BOOMER:  But we're innocent!

MILEX:  Remember, King Phinon, according to section seven of the Dinosaur
Code ....

KING PHINON:  Yes, I know it by heart, "all Dinosaurs tell the truth,
their word is never to be doubted"  but are you certain that the Space
Rovers did this?  They all seem to be nice and  ....

MILEX:  and you cannot doubt my word, your majesty.  You must have them
attested!

KING PHINON (sadly)  I am sorry, but the Space Rovers are hereby ordered
to be detained for questioning, guards, secure the prisoners!

GRUNT:  Grrrrrrrr  Growl!!!!!!!   Grrrrrrrrrr

RASPUTIN:  We'll take them, Captain!

PERSIA: (telepathicly to the other Rovers)   NO!   Do not resist arrest,
and that's an order!    There are too many guards here, let them put us
away, I have a plan.   Trust me, my crew

Roberto sadly watched as the Space Rovers were escorted down another
corridor by six raptors.

ROBERTO (shouting):  I know you earth creatures are innocent, and I'll
prove it!

Meanwhile, high above the planet, the Degalo and the two other Jurrissian
ships surround the Canius Minor.

CALYPSO:  Alexander, that mon Zeldor be hailing us!

ALEXANDER:  Put it on the front viewing screen

ZELDOR:  Commander Alexander, it is my sad duty to inform you that your
Captain's landing party committed an act of treason against the Jurrissian
Alliance last night.  By order of King Phinon, you are to surrender your
space vessel, land it on Jurrassia, and march your crew out to be detained.

ALEXANDER:  That's impossible!   Our people would never .....

ZELDOR:  And if you do not comply with the order in ten minutes,  we are
authorized to destroy the Canius Minor!

ALEXANDER:  Calypso, end transmission (viewing screen goes black)   We
better think of something fast or we're all headed for doggie heaven!
