Ferocious Planet Page #4

Hang on.

Yeah.

That's it.

But it's theoretically

impossible.

We're living proof

that it's far from

impossible.

We can worry about

the theoretical later.

I'm more worried

about our other problem.

Even if we fix this--

I know.

Never thought I'd be

clearing away bodies.

I'm just the auditor

for the project.

I only came down here

to have a look.

Thought it would

get me out of work

early today.

Bad call.

You could say that.

What about you?

I've been an aide

for the Senator now

for about three years.

Guess I'd better

find a new boss.

Just two

working stiffs, huh?

Not the best choice

of words, but...

yeah.

Although...

if we make it back...

When we make it back.

When we make it back,

we're gonna be

so famous.

Do you think?

Hell yeah!

We could really

cash in.

Talk shows,

Fox & Friends,

the works.

This could be

our ticket.

Of course, uh...

if we were the ones

to bring this back--

I mean, all I'm saying is,

we gotta be on our

toes around here.

We gotta be ready

for when the window

of opportunity

presents itself.

And if we were

to work together...

Like partners?

Like partners.

I like that.

Now, all we have to do

is to get ourselves

something, anything,

to guarantee

our fame and fortune.

Something like, uh--

This?

Aaaah! Aaaah!

[Screaming]

Uhh.

Oh! Ohh!

He's dead.

What the hell

happened?

He poked it

with a pen,

then that black stuff

shot out and hit him

in the face.

I told him not to.

What is it? Acid?

Looks like it.

Don't poke the alien.

So, how does a colonel

get stuck guarding a lab?

Stuck?

It's my dream job.

I'm gonna string out

as soon as

the paperwork

goes through.

Got someone special

waiting for you

back home?

Yeah.

She's all

I think about.

What's her name?

Columbine.

Columbine?

It's the name

of a flower.

She was named

before the shooting.

I was gonna rename her

"The Light Brigade",

but they say it's

bad luck to rename.

A boat.

So, uh, that Dr. O'Hara

is pretty hot.

You two have gotten

pretty friendly

these past

couple of weeks.

Did you

tap that yet?

I don't think it'd

go over too well

with the bosses.

We're supposed

to be staying out of

the scientists' way.

Well, she does seem

like a cold fish.

That won't stop me

from trying.

[Screaming]

God!

Go!

Go, go, go, go!

[Roaring]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

Rivers, stay down!

I'll be back for you!

Okay, Colonel!

[Roaring]

[Snarling]

Rivers, come in.

Go ahead, Colonel.

I can't see

the entrance.

Smoke grenade.

Roger. Can you see

what it's doing?

[Roaring]

Negative, sir.

You still have

your smoke grenades?

Roger that.

Uh, Colonel...

I'm gonna need

some assistance.
