Speaker 1: Hello, friends from across the nation and around the world.
I'm Martin, and you are listening to Dad's bedtime stories. Tonight,
I thought we'd do another compilation episode because it is
a Saturday, and what better compilation than the very first
series I ever made. So tonight we're going to be
doing the first three episodes of The Spaceship Universe, or
Kids Spaceship as I call it sometimes. These three episodes
are ones that I re recorded sometime earlier in my
podcasting career, So if you do go back and you
want to continue from episode three, you might notice that,
like episodes four through sixteen are a little bit worse
recording wise, because I did them on a much worse microphone,
just so you know. Also, when I went back to
listen to these episodes, I realized that I used to
sound kind of different. So anyways, if you've listening to
more recent episodes, let me know what you think. I
think I sound very different. Now it's that time again.
Time to get as comfy as you can in that bed,
close your eyes and imagine yourself doing what the kid
in the story does. This is episode one getting a Spaceship.
Imagine yourself waking up in the morning in your bed,
you stretch and get out of bed, and then you
leave the room and go to the living room. In
the center of the living room is a present. It's
wrapped in your favorite color of wrapping paper. It says
your name on the front. Hmm, I wonder what this is.
You look around to see if your parents here, but
nobody seems to be in the area. You sneak over
to the present. You open the bow, and you unwrap
the box. When you lift the top off of the box,
inside you see a toy spaceship. On the side of
the toy spaceship is a button that says press me. Hmmm,
you think, well, I already have a bunch of toy
rocket ships and cars and stuff, but I guess this
one looks pretty realistic. You take the spaceship outside to play,
and once you're outside, you wonder, huh, I wonder what
that button does. You press the button on the rocket ship,
and suddenly it starts to glow a bright yellow color.
It starts to grow. It grows and grows and grows
until it's the size of a spaceship. It solidifies again.
A hatch on the back opens and a ramp for
you to walk up folds out what the you say
to yourself, you decide to walk up the ramp. You
enter the spaceship an inside, it looks even bigger than
it does on the outside. It's like an entire home.
There's a living room with a big TV and a
game system. There's an area with a whole bunch of books.
There's a kitchen with a huge table, there's a play
area full of toys. There's even a bedroom, and at
the front of the spaceship is a huge command center,
a giant screen and two chairs, along with a steering
wheel and what looks like a throttle. You go up
to the command center and suddenly you hear Hello, my
name is spaceship. How are you today? I'm good? How
are you? I am also good. Where would you like
to go today? Asks the spaceship. What do you mean
where do I want to go? First of all, tell
me who you are. I am a magic spaceship, explains
the spaceship. Who sent you here? You ask? I cannot
reveal that, but it is someone who has magic powers,
explains the ship. Okay, well that does seem pretty cool.
Yes it is, says the spaceship. Now, where would you
like to go? I don't know. You say the moon
or something. Setting course for the moon, says the spaceship. Wait, really,
you can really go to the moon. Of course I can.
The Moon is very close. It will take less than
fifteen minutes at low speed. Fifteen minutes at low speed
that's way faster than anything I know can travel there.
That is nothing, explains the space ship. I am capable
of intergalactic flight using my super hyperdrive systems. Wow, you say, well,
I guess let's start with the Moon. I don't want
to go too far from home, understood. Would you like
to fly there yourself? Or would you like me to
pilot the ship? I can fly there myself, you ask, yes.
Just sit down in the command chair, use the steering
wheel and the throttle. It's just like a video game,
says spaceship. You sit down in the command chair, You
put one hand on the wheel and the other hand
on the throttle. You lightly pull back on the steering
wheel and press forward on the throttle. The spaceship floats
up off the ground and shoots up towards the sky.
Before almost any time passes it. All you've passed through
the clouds and up into the atmosphere. You blast off
into space, and you watch as the world starts to
get smaller and smaller behind you. Before long, you can
see the Moon getting bigger and bigger in the viewing screen.
We are now entering the orbit of the Moon, explains
the spaceship. Would you like me to land the spaceship
for you or would you like to do it yourself,
asks the spaceship. I guess you better land it. I
have no idea how to land a spaceship, you say, understood,
initiating landing sequence. Now the spaceship gently descends down towards
the Moon. Landing gear pops out from the bottom of it,
and you come down for a gentle landing on the surface. Awesome.
Now I can go play on the moon, you say,
heading for the back door. Wait, says the spaceship. Humans
cannot survive on the Moon. You will need this. A
hand pops out of the console holding a really cool
looking watch. Put this on and press the button. You
take the watch and strap it around your wrist. You
press the button on the side, like the spaceship says,
and soon something begins to unfold out of the watch.
It covers your arm, and then your body, your other
arm and your legs, and last a helmet folds out
around your head. Whoa, you say, looking down at the suit.
It's a spacesuit, but it looks a lot like armor.
This suit should protect you from anything, and when in
the form of a watch, we can use it to
communicate with each other. Awesome, you say. You walk to
the back of the spaceship and you press the button
by the door. The hatch opens up and a ramp
down to the ground folds out. Once again. You walked
down down the ramp, and as soon as you exit
the spaceship, gravity starts to feel lighter. You practice jumping
from place to place. Each jump sends you up into
the air much further than it normally would. You jump
from place to place with a wonderful floating sensation. And
then you decide to try to do a front flip.
You bend your knees and leap as high as you
can into the air. You tuck your body forward and
begin to roll, but you overrotate and spin until you
hit your face on the ground. For some reason, it
doesn't hurt at all. This is pretty good armor, you say.
You try one more time, and this time you leap
up into the air, tuck in just the perfect way,
and get just the right amount of spin, landing gracefully
on your feet. Once again, you look out onto the
distant moon and you see what looks like a huge mountain.
I want to go up there, you say. I suggest
using your booster rockets, says the spaceship. Booster rockets, yes,
says the ship. Your spacesuit is equipped with flying technology.
All you have to do is think of flying, and
you will fly, explains the ship. You think about flying,
and suddenly, out of your feet blast two booster rockets,
and then two from your hands to keep you steady. Whoa,
you say, as you float up into the air. You
practice floating in the air for a while. Then you
practice going left and right and up and down. When
you feel comfortable, you fly straight up the mountain and
land on the top. When you land there, you can
see the Earth off in the distance. It looks just
like the moon does, except bigger and bluer and brighter.
I wish I had a flag or something to plant here.
You say, I can plant one for you, says spaceship.
What is that you? Spaceship yes, says to the ship.
Where are you. I am still where you left me.
I am communicating through your spacesuit, explains the ship. Well,
that's pretty cool, you say, But what do you mean
you can make me a flag. I have the ability
to three D print almost any object if I have
the materials, explains spaceship. I will just absorb some of
these moon rocks. I can take the proper material out
of them and print them into a flag. You watch
as in the distance the spaceship floats up off of
the moon and flies over to a pile of moon rocks.
A bright yellow light shines down onto the rocks and
they start to glow, and then they get sucked up
into the ship. The ship then flies over towards you,
and a hand pops out of the front of it,
holding a flag with your country's flag on it. Whoa.
You grab the flag, you hold it high up into
the air, and then you jam it down into the
top of the mountain. I hereby claim this mountain in
my name, you say, you look proudly at the earth
in the distance. Well, Spaceship, I think it's time we
get home. My parents are going to be worried about me.
That is a good idea, kid. They probably will be worried,
says the ship. Well, you can just explain what happened, right,
I will do my best, says the spaceship. However, I
find that sometimes parents are rather surprised to meet a
magic spaceship, explains the ship. Well, we'll cross that bridge
when we get there. You say, let's go home. Spaceship
lies near you. The backhatch opens and a ramp folds out.
Once again, you think about flying, and you float up
into the air, right into the back of the ship.
The back door closes and you press the button on
your watch. The spacesuit folds off of your body and
back into the watch. That is so cool, you say.
You go back to the command center and sit down
on the chair. You press forward on the throttle and
fly back towards the earth. As you get closer, the
Earth gets bigger and bigger, until it takes up your
whole field of view. You pass through the atmosphere and
you start to lower the ship down below the clouds.
You land on your front lawn and both of your
parents are there to meet you. You step out of
the ship and your mother says, why where were you
I was so worried about you. Ah, don't worry, mom,
I just went on an adventure with this magic spaceship.
You point to the ship, and the ship says it
is true. Well, I never, says your mother. Don't worry, mom.
You say it's harmless. Watch this. You go to the
side of the spaceship and press the red button. The
spaceship starts to glow and it shrinks down, smaller and smaller,
until it's the size of the toy's spaceship once again.
You pick it up and put it in your pocket.
Your mother faints and falls over on to the ground.
You help your father carry her inside and put her
onto the couch, and then, feeling very tired from such
a long day, you decide it's time to go to bed.
You go back to your bedroom and you turn off
the lights. You climb into your bed and it feels
more comfortable than ever. You lay down and pull the
covers over top of yourself. You close your eyes, and
bit by bit, you let your body relax. You start
with your head and your face, letting them melt away
and sink down into the bed. After that, you let
your shoulders relax and sink into the bed, and then
your arms and your legs, your stomach and your chest.
You close your eyes and you allow yourself to fall asleep.
Now just close your eyes and imagine, imagine waking up
in the morning. Babe, babeb what's that you think, Spaceship?
Is that you? Yes, it is me. I want to
go on an adventure, says Spaceship. It's like six o'clock
in the morning. Okay, what kind of adventure do you
want to go on? You ask, I would like to
go on a space adventure. Okay, but my parents got
kind of mad last time when I disappeared to the moon.
Is there anything we can do about that, you ask? Yes,
I have a solution, explains the Spaceship. I have created
a robot that looks exactly like you. You what you ask?
I have created a robot that looks exactly like you,
explains the Spaceship robot. Come here, the Spaceship says. Suddenly,
your door opens and in walks a robot that looks
exactly like you. What you say? Hi, says the robot.
I'm you. Who are you? I'm me? Who are you?
I'm a robot and I'm gonna pretend to be you
while you're gone. I'll do everything really nice and your
parents will really like me. I just ca yeah, wait,
we're gonna be the best of friends, says your robot clone. Well, okay,
you say, don't forget to do all your chores. Spaceship,
let's go, you say. You run outside, and Spaceship flies
after you. Once you get outside, Spaceship starts to glow.
It grows and grows and grows until it's a full
sized spaceship. The backhatch opens and a platform folds out.
You climb aboard Spaceship. Everything looks just like you remember it.
There's a living room with a TV and video games,
a playroom with all the toys you can imagine, a kitchen,
a bedroom, and at the very front is the command
center with two chairs, a huge viewing screen, and all
of the controls. You sit down in the command center. Well, Spaceship,
how far away is this adventure you want to take
me on? It is very far away, explains the spaceship.
I am going to take you to a very special planet.
I think you will like it a lot, explains the ship. Well,
let's get going. Then you grab the steering wheel and
you press forward on the throttle. The spaceship floats up
off the ground, points straight up at the sky, and
blasts off. You quickly pass through the clouds, then through
the atmosphere, and up into space. You watch as the
world starts to disappear behind you, becoming smaller and smaller
and smaller, until it's only a little dot in the distance.
Soon you pass by Mars. Wow, you say, how fast
are we going? We are not even going full speed.
Soon we will switch to super hyper drive, explains the spaceship.
The planet we are traveling to is one week away
at that speed, explains the ship. One week away. My
parents are gonna wonder where I am. Well, actually, no,
maybe they won't wonder where I am. Will the robot
go to school for me and everything too? Yes, explains
the spaceship. I have programmed the robot to be exactly
like you in every conceivable way, including getting similar marks
on your work. Oh wow, really okay, well I trust
you robot. Let's get going. What do I do? Well?
We uh travel this far? You can do anything you want.
You could play video games or watch dv You could
read a book, or you could play with toys. Oh well,
that's a good idea. You spend a little time playing
video games, then you play with your toys, then you
read a book for a while. Spaceship, you say, I'm
getting kind of hungry. Did we bring any food? Of
course we did, says Spaceship. Come to the kitchen. You
walk over to the kitchen and you sit down at
a table. Now, what would you like? You list off
things that you like to eat. Spaceship says, I understand.
Come right up. A hole in the table opens and
suddenly a plate of food pops out of it. All
of the things you ordered are on it. You spend
some time eating the food. Just imagine what it looks like,
what it tastes like, And as you take bites of it,
just remember what it tastes like to eat that food.
This is so good, you say. Beep, be alert, Alert,
says Spaceship. What what is it? I just realized that
we are running low on power, says the ship. What
running low on power? I thought you were a magic spaceship.
I am a magic spaceship, but my magic requires power.
Oh okay, well what kind of power do you run on?
You ask, I run on energy crystals. The crystals can
be found throughout the galaxy, explains the ship. Okay, well,
can you find one now? Locating nearest energy crystal, says
the spaceship Crystal located, putting it on screen. On the
viewing screen in front of you, a picture appears. There's
a planet in the center of the picture, and the
planet looks like it's on fire. It seems to be
made entirely of lava, and it looks red hot with
little bursts of fire breaking out from it. Now and then,
in fact, it almost looks more like a sun than
a plant. It. We have to go there and get
a space crystal, but I don't even know what a
space crystal looks like. You say, a picture will be
displayed now. The picture on the viewscreen changes to a
picture of a gigantic and clear crystal. So that's a
power crystal, you say, yes, just search the planet for
something that looks like this. If you can find a
pure crystal, it should last for a very long time,
depending on the kind of adventures we have and the
things we do, says the spaceship set a course, You say,
I guess we have no other option. Suddenly, the ship
switches direction and blasts off at super hyper drive. Suddenly,
all of the solid objects turn to streaks of light,
and you begin to travel at a very fast speed.
Just as suddenly the ship stops and the streaks of
light turned back to solid circles that make up stars
and planets, and you find yourself flying right above the
lava planet that was on the display just moments ago. Okay,
let's head down, you say. The spaceship heads down towards
the planet. Will my space suit protect me? Yes, says
the spaceship. Your spacesuit is designed to protect you from
these difficult temperatures, explains the ship. However, you will have
to fly around and manually look for the crystal. My
sensors do not in this type of heat, explains the ship. Okay,
you say. When the ship gets down closer to the surface,
you press the button on your watch. The spacesuit begins
to unfold from it, first covering your arm, then your body,
your other arm, your legs, and last your head. When
it's finished, you look down at your arms and your
legs and you see the armor covering them. You remember
that all you have to do to hover is think
about it. You think about hovering up in the air,
and you begin to fly just off the ground. You
hover over towards the door and press the button beside it.
The back hatch opens and you see a world of
lava and fire. Luckily, the spacesuit seems to keep you
at the regular temperature no matter what it's like outside.
You begin flying around the lava planet. You fly left
and right, and every now and then flames shoot up
from the surface that you have to dodge. I believe
the crystal should be around here, somewhere, says the ship.
You look very carefully around, and in the distance you
see something shimmer. That must be it, you say. You
immediately start to fly towards it. You skim just above
the lava, and when you're almost there, the lava starts
to rumble below you, and then it shoots up in
a huge glob. But it turns out not to be
a glob at all. It seems to be some sort
of lava monster or something like that. It's a huge
glob of lava, except it has arms and legs and
eyes and a huge mouth that's dripping lava inside it.
The monster swings its fist towards you. You dodge the
fist and fly up and out of the way. Oh no, Spaceship,
the crystal seems to be guarded by some sort of
lava monster or something like that. You say, I was
afraid of this, says the spaceship. What do you mean
you were afraid of this? You didn't mention anything about this.
Don't you think that would have been relevant information? Oh?
Be quiet, says the spaceship. I will send some help.
The spaceship sends ten different robots flying out the back
of the spaceship towards you to help. Robots begin to
surround the lava monster and start shooting it with blasters
that they have, but none of it really seems to
make a difference. The lava monster hits the robots out
of the way with its giant lava arms. The robots
instantly melt. It continues to attack them until only two
are left. We need a new plan, you say to spaceship.
This isn't working at all, but we need something that
we could fight lava with, something that's the opposite of lava,
like cold or something. Do you have anything like that
that is a good idea? Replies the spaceship. And also,
can't you come over here to help your magic spaceship
and I'm just a little kid. Also a good idea,
says the ship. Why don't you get back inside. The
ship flies towards you and the back hatch opens. You
fly inside and land in the center of the ship.
The doors close and you go back to the command center. Okay,
what kind of weapons do you have to destroy this thing?
I do not know, says the spaceship. Just use your imagination. Okay, well,
can you turn into anything else? Yes, says the spaceship.
I can turn into anything anything you ask. Can you
turn into a giant robot? Yes, says the spaceship. Transforming
into giant robot. The spaceship begins to glow a bright
yellow color, and it grows and transforms and shape all
around you until it's the form of a giant robot.
Out of the ceiling pops a little helmet. Put on
the helmet, says the Spaceship. You put on the helmet
and you close your eyes. A strange sensation passes through
your body, and when you open your eyes again, you're
seeing through the eyes of the giant robot formerly a spaceship.
When you try to move your arms, the robot's arms
move instead. The same thing with your legs, and you
seem to have other senses that you didn't remember having,
like the ability to fly. Whoa, you say. You practice
flying left and right a little bit. Soon you feel
pretty comfortable. Let's go get it, you say. You reach
behind your back and pull out a giant sword. You
this should help you fly down towards the lava monster.
It attempts to hit you with its lava hand, but
again you easily cut it in half with the sword.
That was awesome, you say. Unfortunately, the arm grows back
right away and it shoots out towards you. Once again.
It hits you right in your chest. It doesn't hurt
at all, because well, you're a giant robot, but it
does seem to be eating away at some of the
metal in your chest. Spaceship, I don't think this is
gonna work. We need another plan. You put your sword away.
Do you have anything else, like a like a freeze
ray or something like that, Yes, says the spaceship, activating
freeze ray mode. You watch as the hand of the
robot begins to glow, and then it transforms into a
giant cannon. Cool, you say. You point the cannon at
the lava monster and you fire, A glowing blue beam
shoots out of the cannon and hits the lava monster.
The part that you hit begins to turn to rock immediately.
It's working, you say. You start to fly around the
lava monster in all different directions, trying to hit all
parts of it with the freeze ray. Slowly, its whole
body starts to slow down and transforms into solid rock.
The lava monster is frozen, with its arms reaching up
towards you. Well, that takes care of that for now. Anyways,
it'll probably melt soon. Let's get going. Spaceship transform back
into a ship. You take the helmet off of your head,
and you're seeing through your own eyes again. The space
ship begins to glow and it transforms into the normal
form of a space ship. You fly over to the
platform where the crystal is standing. It's a solid platform
that's not made of lava. The back of the ship
opens up and you walk out. You walk across the ground.
You pick up the crystal, and you bring it back
to the ship. Now what do I do with this?
You ask? Put it here, says the spaceship. A pedestal
pops up out of the ground. You place the crystal
in the pedestal, and suddenly it lights up and the
whole spaceship surges with energy. That should do, says the ship.
All right, well, let's get back on our adventure. How
much longer's left? You ask? Still one week, as the
ship h you say, well, I'm going to bed. It's
been a long day. Good night, says the spaceship. You
walk to the bedroom, open the door, and go inside.
You see a very comfortable bed. It looks just like
your bed from home, but when you climb into it,
it feels even more comfortable than you remember. You pull
the covers up over top of yourself. Lights out, you say,
and the lights turn out. Your eyes are feeling heavy,
so you allow them to close. You notice anywhere in
your body that's holding tension, and with each big, deep
breath you take, you let the tension go. There's no
need to do anything, just enjoy how comfortable the bed
is and begin dreaming of other adventures to come. You
wake up once again on your spaceship. You get up
and stretch, and you head out into the main area
of the ship. When you get there, you can see
the stars flying by very quickly outside the window. You're
traveling at super hyper drive, and it makes everything just
look like a streak in the distance. Are we almost
at the new planet, you ask, Spaceship, We are approaching now,
Spaceship answers, Oh, what kind of planet is it? Anyways?
You ask, this is a planet where dinosaurs still exist,
explains the ship. A planet where dinosaurs exist. But I
thought dinosaurs were extinct. They did go extinct on your planet.
But in an infinite universe, there are infinite possibilities, including
a chance that there is a planet full of dinosaurs,
explains the spaceship. Well, on your planet, and asteroid destroyed
all of the dinosaurs on this planet. No such event happened,
explains the ship. So there's really dinosaurs here. Can we
go down and see them? You ask, Yes, says Spaceship.
We can go see them soon. I was thinking we
could train them, says the spaceship. What train them? What
do you mean train them? You ask? Wouldn't they eat
us or something like that? Yeah, says Spaceship. That is
a distinct possibility. However, I have designed a new collar
that can control anything it is put on, including dinosaurs.
A collar, you ask, yes, says Spaceship. Here a hand
pops out of the console at the front of the
ship holding a collar. With this, you should be able
to control anything you put it around, explains the ship.
If you can get it around the neck of a dinosaur,
it should listen to your commands. Really, you say, all
I have to do is put this around the neck
of a dinosaur and it'll do anything I want it to. Yes,
says spaceship. It should. Any Ways, I have not tested
this yet. You haven't tested it yet. We're going to
use an untested device on a very dangerous dinosaur and
just hope it doesn't eat us. Yes, says spaceship. That
is exactly the plan. Uh okay, I mean if you
are you say? Sounds good, says the spaceship. Can we
take a closer look and see what kind of dinosaurs
there are? You ask? Yes, says the spaceship. The spaceship
flies down towards the planet. As you get closer, you
can start to see dinosaurs in the distance running on
the planet, eating trees and bushes. WHOA, you say, what
kind of dinosaur would you like to control? First? Ask
spaceship WHOA look over there? Do you think it could
control a pterodactyl? Yes? Says the ship. You fly the
ship as close as you can to the pterodactyls. Ship
take over understood. The ship begins flying as close as
a can to the pterodactyls. Ship activate the collar cannon.
Activating collar cannon, says the ship. On the viewscreen, a
little X that marks the center of the screen appears,
and a joystick pops out of the front console. Use
the joystick to control the X on the screen. When
it is lined up with a dinosaur, hit the button
to fire. The spaceship explains, okay. As the ship flies
as close as a can to the pterodactyls, you grab
the joystick. You carefully aim at the best you can.
You point it right at one of the pterodactyls, and
you press the button on the top. You suddenly see
a collar shoot out of the ship and attached to
the pterodactyl. It falls for a second before gaining consciousness
again and flying back up. You land the spaceship down
on the surface, and Spaceship uses the collar to call
the pterodactyl to you. It flies down and lands beside
the ship. To make sure you're protected, you press the
button on your watch, which if you remember, causes a
spacesuit to fold out around your whole body, covering you
in a protective armor. Feeling pretty confident that you can't
really get hurt with the armor on, you put your
hand out and walk towards the pterodactyl. It allows you
to come right up to it and scratch it on
the side of the head. Then it bends its neck
down and you climb on top of it. Let's go,
you say, and the pterodactyl begins flapping its wings, flying
higher and higher up into the air. You fly higher
and higher, up above the clouds. You feel free and
excited all at the same time. You fly above the
green grass and the trees below. You pass many dinosaurs
just doing their dinosaur thing. You pass rivers and lakes, mountains,
and tons and tons of trees. The dinosaur planet is
full of trees until you hear a terrible noise. It
sounds like dinosaurs might be fighting or something. What's that,
you wonder, We have to go figure it out. Let's go,
you say to the pterodactyl. The pterodactyl dives down towards
the surface as fast as it can. You know that
if your mask weren't on It would hurt your face
to go this quickly, but luckily the face shield protects you.
When you get down towards the surface, you see what
looks like a Tyrannosaurus rex attacking a herd of three
horns or triceratops. Hey, that's not very nice, you say, Spaceship,
we need to stop this thing. Spaceship suddenly appears beside you.
We should not stop it. Some dinosaurs eat other dinosaurs.
It is a natural part of life. I know it's
a natural part of life, but I don't want it
to happen near me. Okay, says spaceship. If you wish
to stop it, I suggest using another control collar, says
the ship another control caller. That's brilliant, Spaceship. Should I
get back inside the ship to use it? No need,
says the ship. I made a portable cannon. Here. An
arm comes out of the spaceship and hands you a
huge cannon looking thing. Perfect, you say. You kick the
pterodactyl a few times, gently on the side, like it's
a horse, and it flies back up into the air.
You circle around closer to the tyrannosaurus. You get it
in your sights, and you fire the cannon. The collar
shoots out, hitting the tyrannosaurus directly in the head. Unfortunately,
it bounces right off and just makes the tyrannosaurus angry.
It roars with anger. The roar startles you just a
little bit and you lose balance on the pterodactyl and
you fall off. Luckily, the systems in your spacesuit kick in,
causing a huge air bag to deploy underneath you. You crash
down on a soft surface and then slowly sink all
the way to the ground as it deflates. When you
look up, you see the tyrannosaurus running directly at you.
Its mouth is wide open. Uh what do I do
you think? I think there's only one option, you say
to yourself. When the tyrannosaurus runs up to you, you
jump directly into its mouth, inside past the teeth. As
it clamps down on you. Standing inside its mouth, you
try really hard to push its jaws apart, using your
arms and legs, but you're just not strong enough. Uh, Spaceship,
I think you need a little help here, you say. Understood,
says spaceship, appearing right beside you. What I asked you
for help? I didn't tell you to shrink down and
come inside the mouth of the Tarannosaurus. I'm here to help.
I have a tickle ray. I plan on shoe uoting
it at the inside of the tyrannosaurus. Well, that might
actually work. Do that, you say. The spaceship shoots a
little laser at the top of the Tyrannosaurus's mouth. The
tyrannosaurus gets agitated and starts shaking its head back and forth,
trying to figure out what's making it tickle so strangely,
it spits you in. Spaceship out, and you fly across
the field onto the ground. Luckily, your space suit protects you.
Not so luckily, you're covered in some gloopy globby gook
or slobber of some kind. You say, Spaceship, we have
to do something else. It's coming right for us again,
Like what, asks the ship. I don't know. Can you
transform into something that will help us? Yes, says the ship.
Then do it? You say? What would you like me
to transform into? Asks the ship. I don't know, like
a bigger Tyrannosaurus or something like that. Can you do that? Yes? Transforming?
Now the ship begins to glow. It grows and grows
and changes shape until it's a gigantic mechanical Tyrannosaurus robot thing,
would you like to control? The robot? Asks the spaceship. Yes, yes,
I would, you say. The tyrannosaurus bends down to the ground.
A little hatch on the side of its stomach pops open,
and you run inside. When you run into the main
area of the ship, a little helmet pops down. You
put the helmet on and you close your eyes, knowing
that when you open them you'll be in full control
of the tyrannosaurus robot. When you open your eyes, you
see through the eyes of the Tyrannosaurus robot. You feel
the huge mechanical legs of the robot as well, and
you test them out by stomping them on the ground.
And you feel something else too, a huge tail. It's
a sense you've never had before, but you find it
very easy to move around. Your jaws feel huge and powerful,
but your arms, well, they feel tiny and completely useless.
But that's kind of beside the point. You see the
other Tyrannosaurus, the real one, running directly at you, but
you know just what to do. Just before it gets
to you, you jump to the side and swing your
tail around, hitting the Tyrannosaurus right in the head and
knocking him over on his side. He gets up and
roars even angrier, and he jumps right on top of you,
pushing you to the ground. He begins chomping towards you,
trying to get you. But you have an idea just
by thinking about it. A little hand pops out the
neck of the mechanical tyrannosaurus holding a feather. You use
the feather to tickle the tyrannosaurus on the chin. Once again.
He seems agitated. Well, he's distracted. You kick him off
and throw him to the ground. Then you jump on
top of him. You open your mouth and you say, now, spaceship,
shoot the collar. A collar shoots right out of the
mechanical t rex's mouth and clasps around the neck of
the tyrannosaurus. The tyrannosaurus moves around for a minute and
then becomes completely calm. You climb off of it with
the big mechanical tyrannosaurus, and then you close your eyes
and you pull the helmet off of your head. Once again,
you're standing in the center of the spaceship, which is
of course currently in the form of a mechanical tyrannosaurus.
The ship shrinks back down to its normal size and
lands on the ground. A hatch at the back opens
and you walk outside. There, you walk up to the
real Tyrannosaurus and hold your hand out. Once again, it
moves its head towards your hand and lets you pet
it on the cheek, And once again, it bends down
lets you climb on its back. Spaceship shrinks down and
flies into your pocket, and you ride the real Tyrannosaurus
around the dinosaur planet. It feels a lot like riding
a horse, only the bumps are further apart. You notice
that wherever you go, the other dinosaurs run away from you.
You tour around the area for a while, seeing what
there is to see on the dinosaur planet, before Spaceship
says we should get going. The robot we created to
pretend to be you is only programmed to last five days.
What why would you only make it last five days?
I don't know, says the spaceship. Either way, in five
days it will turn to goo. Okay, fine, you say,
but can we come back soon? Yes, says the spaceship.
I recommend putting a portal on this world. Then we
can come back anytime we want. What cool. Well, why
didn't we just use a portal to get here? Though
you cannot travel to a place where there is not
a portal already, explains the ship. All right, okay, we'll
put a portal out and we can use that to
get home. That is a great idea. However, there is
a problem. Once the problem I neglected to leave a
portal at home. Spaceship. Sometimes you're really smart, but other
times you're kind of well, not so smart. But you
love me, right, says the ship. Yeah, I guess I do. Okay,
put the portal here and we'll get going. The back
of the space ship opens up and little robots carry
out a huge circular portal and place it on the ground.
You climb back on the ship. The back hatch closes,
and you fly high up into the sky and out
into space. Once you're far enough away from the planet,
the ship jumps to super hyperdrive, and all of the
stars that you could see in the distance turn to
streaks as you begin to travel incredibly quickly. You, on
the other hand, are feeling pretty tired. You head to
the bed room in the ship. Once again. You climb
under the covers on your spaceship bed and put your
head down on the pillow. Your eyes are feeling heavy,
so you let them close. You notice anywhere you're holding tension,
and you slowly let it go. Letting go of any
tension in your arms and your legs, your stomach and
your chest, and last your head and your face. You
just notice how comfy the bed is, and you allow
yourself to gently drift off to sleep. Good night everyone,
