Rook looked at the map. "We go straight and to the left and we will be in the designated star system," he told Ben. "There have been reports of strange events there that the plumbers should look into."
Ben nodded, happily sipping into his smoothie. "Well, whatever is going on there will handle it easily," he said.
"Yes. That is what you said the last time," Rook said. "Though you also almost got us captured and nearly eaten and I had to save us, again. You really need to be more observant, Ben."
Eventually, the two landed on the planet. It was sunset, the sky was similar to that on Earth, only the grass was a mixture of purple, violet, and indigo in color. "Where...is everyone?" Rook asked Ben looking around. "It seems very strange that no one is around and yet we got called here."

He smirked at the successful transformation (he has worse luck) and fluttered behind Rook heading inside.
The duo went down a few narrow corridors with, Rook waiting occasionally as Ben scouted ahead with his powers until eventually, the two made it into a large open area. There was a small group of men, gathered around a small table, more like a desk. One of them places a huge suitcase on it. Ben and Rook looked to one another as they saw one of the guys open the case.
