85 – Fzzzst

That’s the problem with radios you borrow from a crazed robot’s destroyed rocket.

Previously on Marooned…

This story began with Captain John getting sick. Ugo is taking John back to the Martian haven while Ril and Asimov are contacting Earth mission control to let them know that they are stranded on Mars.

Ugo first appeared shortly after John and Asimov landed. Ril first appeared in the Martian haven “Vita.”

    Well, this IS a space opera after all… but the story may be going in an unexpected direction. Hrm. You’ll just have to wait and see!

    I think Earth is at war with the Gerbils, they always struck me as devious rodents.

    Awwww snap! What they don’t know is Earth has declared war on Mars. Now John and Asimov have to pick sides. Brother vs. Brother! Man vs. Robot! Tell me I’m right. Amirite?
