"And what scum 'ave we 'ere!" the filthy pirate captain spat on the three of us (who were all tied up)
"The owners of this ship we presume cap'ian." the equally grubby first mate wheezed.
"So what's this ship used for, eh?" the captain asked with an evil glint in his eyes
"Could you please not spit all over us?" Limfon asked "and we use the ship for space exploration and research."
"This ship could be used as me new ship, or we could sell it on the black market and make a small fortune!"the captain laughed maliciously. "And since I'm such a gentleman, I'll give yeh small ship back! After I loot what I want!" All the pirates laughed like maniacs.
"We're DOOMED!" Aervyn, who was the youngest, shouted "We have no supplies, no fuel and no spare parts! Could this get any worse!" Just then the volcano rumbled "Great, just great!" Aervyn groaned
"How is a volcano that's about to erupt great?!" Stetzon exclaimed.
"Sarcasm Stetzon, sarcasm!"
"No Aervyn's right!" Limfon said in wonder.
"I am? I mean, I'm always right!" Said Aervyn smugly.
"No you are, we could use the heat of the lava as a fuel!" Limfon explained.
"So you're saying all we need to do, is get some lava, stick it in our fuel tank and fly off to get more fuel at a space servo!" Stetzon said in bewilderment.
"Yes!" Said Limfon.
"Ok, let's go get some lava!"
