The Cosmic Caper

Unexpected Complication

You pleaded with them to return the stolen cups softly, 'Tell me, why did you steal the coffee cups from Earth?'. The thieves squinted at you grumpily from their spot in front of your spacecraft's shiny beams. Their red eyes glowed in a way that was spooky, like they were up to something really bad. The sight of them made you a bit scared, but you had to keep talking – you had to find out their evil plans.

No way José! Instead of telling you why, they just grumbled more, and zapped back fast into their spaceship that looked scary with sharp edges all around, like a big, mean shark. It felt like an angry dinosaur was making a loud RRRROAAAAAR!, which were actually the awful sounds of their spaceship- from the inside, it was all metal with sharp, shiny stuff. They didn't seem to plan on answering any of your questions. Was this all your snooping into their cups-about lands you up in a fight!?

Those Xion muggers grabbed out blasters larger than your noggin from the spaceship. Glug! You swallowed hard but knew you had to be really brave now. 'I will not back down!. thought the super Super Space Detective from Zorb. Then, you spotted their spaceship flashing scary lights in the big, black open space like a giant NO-GO sign. Now what? Would you dig in your brains and smarts to argue with them and possibly save your green skin in this 'Cup Gate' chase? Or will you return lickety-split to the Earth, 'Run, humans, run! You got some aliens zooming for you' kind of warning!? Its time to dial the next battle plan. Which will it be, Mr.S SSD from Zorb?
