Episode 3
Journal Entry of Daniel K. Jones:

Wow. I'm so excited. The ship is landing. The ship is landing! THE SHIP IS LANDING! We're going to explore a new planet. Maybe we'll find another form of intelligent life. Have I mentioned how excited I am yet? I hope Jimmy doesn't get too nervous, but I've packed a spare pair of pants for him just in case.
We finally saw the armour we're going to be wearing as marines today as well. It looks very cool, and should surely protect us from anything we go up against.

I wonder how good this armour really is? I wonder if it's weak enough for the guns we've been given to penetrate? Wouldn't it be a pity if Daniel were to be taken down by friendly fire? Wouldn't it be a pity if this whole entire regiment were to be shot? I'll blame it on the firebats.

Fire is good.

"Alright boys and girls. Now, be very careful out there. I don't want anybody getting any boo boos. I want us all back nice, healthy and happy," says Captain Dirk as the marines disembark the Starship Business. "Remember to stick with your buddy, and look out for each other."
"Don't worry Jimmy. I'll look out for you buddy. I brought you a spare pair of pants, just in case," says Daniel.
"Oh, thanks Daniel. You're so thoughtful," says Jimmy.
"That's what buddies are for!" says Daniel, patting Jimmy on the back.

It'd be so easy. Just pull that trigger, hold it down for a few seconds, then he'd be gone, it'd be all over. Just those few little seconds…

Jimmy pulls the trigger. Bullets fire out of the gun and pierce Daniel's armour.
"Sir, Jimmy accidentally shot at me. I think it was a nervous reaction sir," says Daniel.
"Yeah…that was it…nerves," says Jimmy.
"I was lucky though sir, all the bullets missed me. My armour has holes though," says Daniel.
"Oh, poor Jimmy," says Captain Dirk, "you and Daniel can stay here for a little bit while you recover. I'll let the other boys and girls go on ahead."
"You're a real good guy Captain," says Daniel.

Captain Dirk is a really great guy.

"BURN! BURN! BURNING THROUGH SPACE!" cries out Bernie.
"BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN!" cries out Flamento.
"Hey, is that what I think it is?" asks a Firebat.
"That depends, what do you think it is?" asks another.
"Is it ground?" asks the first Firebat.

All of a sudden I don't think we're in space anymore. This could be a good thing. I hope this planet has oxygen, we've sort of used most of it up on board. Still, it's a worthy sacrifice for the wonders of the flame.
###
The Starship Burnbabyburn crashes onto the planet below. The firebats slowly crawl out of the wreckage and stare at the burning remains of the ship.
"It's beautiful," cries Flamento.
"Truly a sight for sore eyes," says Flamento.
"Hey guys…trees," says a Firebat facing the other way. All the others turn around and stare at the expanse of forest before them.
"Wow, so much fuel and so little time," says Flamento.
"Well, what are we waiting for then?" asks Bernie, pulling out his flamethrower.
"BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN!" cries Flamento, doing the same.

Fire is good. Really, really good.
###
Jimmy looks into the sky, just in time to see a flaming starship pass overhead and crash into the forest somewhere in the distance.
"Stupid Firebats…" he mutters.
"Oh my, that's not good," says Captain Dirk.
"We should go and make sure they're alright sir!" says Daniel.
"That's a wonderful idea Daniel. Seeing as how you two are the only ones left here, you can come with me and rescue them," says Captain Dirk.
"Can I stay here?" asks Jimmy.
"Don't be silly buddy, that's just your nerves talking. The Captain and I will all look after you," says Daniel.
"That's right Jimmy. We can all be buddies!" says the Captain.
"Wonderful…" says Jimmy.

Oh, those poor Firebats. I hope they're okay. Captain Dirk is really a great guy, going to rescue them.
In other news, it's true. You do learn something new everyday. I figured out today that you have to turn the oxygen tank for these suits of armour on. If you don't, they won't work. How about that? No wonder it was so hard to breathe before.
