Saturn Valley, Trip 1: Meeting with Dr. Saturnious!

[Halbarad]

Phil zoomed in on the odd spot, trying to make out what the anomaly is.

[Dracos]

Woah, this was one heck of a telescope.

He could almost make out...buildings?  But why would thier be buildings on the moon?

Dracos

[Halbarad]

"...Buildings?" Phil said, rather amazed. He tries to see if he can increase the magnification any further. "Are the aliens building a base on the moon or something?"

[Dracos]

"Euraka!  He gets it!  He gets it!" Dr. Saturnious crowed.

Dracos

[Zenthor]

"A base... on the moon?"  Jade scratched her head.  "What, are they planning to build some freaky death laser and fire it at Earth from there, or something?" she questioned cynically.

[Brian]

"It might be a long, long walk to the moon," Liao warns.  "I've put tsome hought into it."

[Dracos]

"They might be.  I'm not sure.  What I am sure of is that they are up to no good!  Worse than smelly cheese.  They're definitely going to cause trouble.  In fact, it would not surprise me if they were already sending out small test forces to check out and create footholds here prior to an invasion!"

Dracos

[Zenthor]

"Actually, we already know they're taking places and using them for their own purposes.  Cinqville's mountains are already factory for those tentacle having aliens' weapons.  And they're doing something up at Sixton, unless Phil's lying for no reason.  So what are we supposed to do now, Saturnious?"

[Halbarad]

Phil nods glumly. "It's one thing to say 'There are aliens invading from the moon.' It's something completely different to DO something about it. What ARE we supposed to do? Contact the government and tell them, or what?"

[Dracos]

"Ah, Ah... but you see.  That's why I built my experiment!  The hero seeker!  It gathered you here because you have the know how, the skills, and the talents together to help stop them!  Tell me, doesn't each of you have special skills?  Talents?"

Dracos

[Halbarad]

"Well..." Phil shrugs. "I don't know about special skills like what Liao can do, but I can build almost anything I can think of, if I've got the parts I need. And I can usually make it with whatever I've got lying around."

[Zenthor]

"I can... uh... Well, I can balance a pen on my nose while sleeping.  Does that count?  Oh, yeah!  And the shooting fire and ice with my mind.  I think that counts," Jade thought aloud.

[Brian]

"So we can move quickly, build machines, and shoot fire and ice," Liao thinks.  "That sounds good for a start, but probably not until we understand what our enemy's strengths are."

[Halbarad]

Phil nods. "They're just things we can do unless we actually have something to do with them." He looks down at the diminutive scientist-creature. "So what are we supposed to do, if we're supposed to be heroes?"

[Dracos]

"Like all beings, they must communicate and organize themselves.  If thier command centers and leaders here are taken out, their push to take over the world would be blunted." Dr. Saturnious walked around.  "I have faith that you three are capable of such!  By using your talents, you should have the ability to disrupt thier plans."
