Captain's blog, we have just solved a dispute involving a game on Planet Checkmate. With a little help from Samantha, we were able to trace the origins of the dispute and use it to our advantage in setting it.
Missions like these are nothing new to us. We, especially I, the Captain Zidgel, have gotten ourselves quite familiarized with the procedures these missions involve.
First, Admiral Strap assigns us to go to a planet in order to solve whatever problem they have. Some of these planets we've gone to have really strange names. One of the planets that had a dispute was named "Picket." Picket? I don't really recall any gods (may they live forever) named "Picket."
Next, after we land on the planet, we try our best to solve the dispute. Most of the time, it's not clear on how it should be solved, but there are times when the solution is right under our beaks, it was just ignored for one reason or another. There was this one planet we went to where the dispute could have been solved the minute we arrived, if only we bothered to listen to the solution rather than hurry up and try to find it ourselves.
Of course, the dispute is almost always solved by either Jason, Michelle, Samantha, two or all of them quoting a verse from "The Good Book" and following the advice of what that verse means. When I got the chance to actually read what's in that book, I found some of the passages quite interesting. However, there were other passages that confused me quite a bit. For instance, there was this entire section with a lot of weird laws. Sure, there were some good laws in it, but the majority of them were quite mind-boggling. Don't wear mixed fabrics? Why was that even in there? Did whoever write this section have a bad sense of fashion?
Finally, after the mission is completed, we take either Jason, Michelle, Samantha, two or all of them back to their home planet Earth until the next time we need those kids. And then we go over the same process again and again and again.
Now, Admiral Strap has assigned us to go to Planet Level Tikus. The dispute has something to do with rocks. The distress call wasn't very clear on what the inhabitants need help on, it was delivered so quickly and incoherently that the only thing we heard, besides the rock part, was, "Help! Injustice...stoning...many!" Who knows? Maybe this good book of Jason, Michelle, and Samantha's might give us advice on how this issue should be solved! Captain's blog, signing off!
