Will paced back and forth in the chamber with his family seated on the cots waiting to be escorted out of the room and into their tight spaced space van that was less of a space pod in a number of ways. Will looked toward his tense siblings then toward his door as his mind wondered over to the fact of what had happened last night. He went toward the door then reached his fingertips out. The door slid open before his eyes then he looked over and walked out seeing the pointy eared monkey blooping down the hall. Quite taken, Will followed after the creature that walked on its knuckles.

He went down the corridor.

"Debbie Robinson," Will behind a wall once he saw B-9. "Why are you not in the playroom?"

"Bloop bloop bloop." Debbie replied.

"Don't be smart with me," B-9 said.

"Bloop!" Debbie replied.

"You were given friends to play with," B-9 said.

"Bllooop bloop bloop bloop bloop bloop bloop," Debbie wiggled her thumbs at B-9 with her hands in her ears and her tongue stuck out.

"Now, I HAVE HAD IT!" B-9 cried, bobbing his helmet up. "DESTROY!"

Robot sent a cackle of electricity after the monkey and chased after her through the corridor.

"Stand still, you filth!"

"BLOOP!"

"Your insults are worse than HIS insults!"

"Bloop! Bloop! Bloop!"

"Destroy!"

Robot wheeled on past the young boy as the security detail came out of no where.

"Get the hell out of my way." Robot shoved them aside. "Destroy!"

"Bloop!" Debbie blooped away through the corridor.

"Get back here so I can destroy you!" Robot shouted.

"Blooop!"

"Why that is undignified language, you rambunctious ape!" He bobbed his helm up then extended out his arms. "DESTROY! DESTROY! DESTROY!"

He sent officer after officer down to the ground landing on their backs or their chests as Will watched in bewilderment. B-9 twirled his upper half in the direction of whoever entered his path sending them crashing to the floor except for the detainees. Will ran down the hallway then came back to the chamber that concealed the rest of his family.

"We got to go, now!" Will said.

"What just happened to the door?" Don asked.

"Come on!" Will ran.

"You heard him!" Penny said. "Wait, Will!" She ran after the youngest of the family. "We don't know where to go!"

"I got a really good idea of where to go!" Will said. "Come on!"

"What the hell is happening here?" Don asked. "Are they being attacked?"

"B-9 is on a rampage because of the monkey!" Will replied.

"Speaking of monkey, we have to get Debbie!" Don said. "Can't leave without her. I will find my way."

Don slipped out his laser pistol from along his leg then bolted dowj the corridor leaving the small family to themselves.

"Well, you went down this way?" Judy asked.

"Uh huh," Will said. "It's this way!"

Murveon strolled through the corridor as the alarms began to go off around him. Murveon paused in his tracks then looked around watching the machines fleeing from one end of the ship to the other and the repair droids were speeding past him. The even slower ones were going in a neatly filed line headed in for the empty detention rooms as the smaller ones whizzed by. Murveon smacked against the screen with his fist and static came through.

"Murveon to bridge, what in the supernova is going on?"

"B-9 is on a rampage!"

"Ah then, he knows,"

"What do we do, sir?"

"Where is the captain?"

"The captain hasn't arrived yet, sir!"

"You mean to say the captain is still on shore leave on Galvax Twelve?"

"Yes, sir! You are in charge-"

With a yelp, Murveon was tackled to the floor and his hands let go of the paneling ending the conversation. He was turned around by the person who tackled him and it became plain as day who it was. A smile grew on the face of the young Earth man.

"Vaheession!"

"How the tables have turned, Jaclanata." Don shoved the man against the wall. "Take me to the animal department."

Murveon sneered then lunged at the mechanic. The mechanic ducked out of the way allowing the taller creature to smack into the wall then fall to the ground with a groan. Don yanked Murveon up to his feet grabbing a hold on to his fur then aimed the laser pistol to the back of his neck pinning him against the wall with the side of his face pressed against it.

"What do you want?"

"I want my hen back,"

"Then you will get it,"

"If any of your people fire at me then you will die first," Don said. "Is that good by you?"

"No," Murveon said. "It isn't. I will make sure they will not fire at us."

"Lead the way, Jaclanata!" Don shoved the man forward.

John and Maureen arrived to the hangar bay then were thrown into their craft by the henchmen. Electrical bolts drew the attention of the crew as B-9 chased the monkey out into the lab sending electrical bolts flying scarring metal frames.

Debbie leaped on to the top of the crafts. Robot twirled and fired at the oncoming henchmen then resumed on the chase, "DESTROY!" John and Maureen ducked below visual then lifted their attention up toward the scene transpiring before them.

Shortly afterwards, Will, Judy, and Penny bolted into the landing bay.

"Kids, this way!" John came to the entrance of the space pod.

The children's heads bolted in the direction of John's voice then ran in the direction of the space pod.

"Dad, you're okay!" Will said. "What did they want?"

"Where is Don?" Maureen asked.

"Went after Debbie," Judy replied eying at the fleeing dark monkey. "That is sure a strange monkey."

"Very strange," John said. "I thought you were kidding when you said the monkey had pointy ears."

"And now you know," Will said.

"Buckle up, we are getting out of here!" John said.

"What about Don?" Judy asked as she slid into the chair around the counter.

"A few more minutes," John said. "If he isn't here. . ." John and Maureen exchanged a worrisome glance. "Then we will have to leave him."

"Will, close the door!" Maureen said.

Will looked over the window and spotted the monkey headed their way. He bounced up to his feet then bounced forward and fell back. He unbuckled himself as the creature came closer to the ship then it jumped through the doorway and the door closed behind it. The monkey landed in the open closet with a yelp then a whimper.

Penny gasped, unbuckled, then went in after the monkey as B-9 came to a stop from the unique craft then shook a closed claw back at the creature in rage using selective words. He turned away with a hmph then rolled on the same way that he had entered the hangar bay with a distinctive hum to himself singing "Sweet Chariot, sweet chaaaariot-" as he came out of their line of hearing.

"Lower your weapons." Murveon ordered.

The animal guards stepped aside lowering their weapons. Don came into the room with the weapon against the man's back then shoved him into the room. He saw a collection of hens and one rooster held in a group. Don narrowed his eyes toward the direction of the familiar chicken that plucked herself up from the ground then began to dart toward him.

"Debbie!"

Don knelt down and smiled holding his hands out.

"That's my chicken!" Don caught the chicken then cupped her in his arms and turned in the direction of Murveon aiming the laser rifle toward him. "I am in a really good mood so don't ruin it."

Murveon put his back against the wall then slid aside.

"Nice to work with you!" Don said, then ran down the corridor.

The rooster and hens followed right behind him.

"There he is!" Judy said.

Judy went toward the door then slid down the latch and the door came bolting down.

"I GOT HER!" Don shouted.

"Good catch!" Judy said then turned her attention off him. "Don-"

Don crashed into the closet

"Time to go!" John said. "Judy, close the door!"

The chickens piled into the space pod crashing into the walking lane of the craft then Judy closed the door behind them. She yanked Don out of the closet then fell in with him as the ship tipped sideways as John steered the space vehicle through the range of fire. They steered out of the ship then flew outside.

Will looked out the window then spotted, as John piloted past the ship, that B-9 was strolling through the corridor, helm and upper half twirling, arms in chassis, his grill glowing as if calling for someone. He vanished inside of a doorway as the craft flew away from the detention center. The ship flew away toward a planet that was nearby that ranged in size and width but was covered in greenery that made it stand out against the onset of the darkness and a sun that it orbited.

The space pod tore through the atmosphere. As each minute ticked by, Will was bracing himself for the worst case scenario. The vehicle shook from side to side as the ship remained resistant against giving out. Her hulls refused to give in, to budge, only stained by the blast. They increased their speed fleeing out of the detention center's range of fire. The space pod flew down making a controlled descent down to the ground lifting up and down. The crew buckled themselves in the available seats and grasped on the handles on the wall as the craft was trembling from side to side.

"Did you have to design the space van as a RV?" John asked.

"Yes." Maureen said. "This isn't my best plan. Just in case the Chariot was lost."

"This reminds me of the van that my dad bought," John said.

"That is because I based the interior off that," Maureen said.

John looked over toward Maureen.

"Maureen, that RV didn't do well in a traffic crash!"

"Unlike a traffic crash, this space van is capable of making a controlled crash landing," Maureen smiled back. "I kept the best parts of her. Only the best."

"Hold on!"

The craft lowered breaking the ground underneath it then lifted up into mid air then lowered and repeat. Finally, the space van came to a controlled but rough landing. The family unbuckled. Debbie the monkey sprinted out of the van then looked up toward the sky in concern. The family sighed in relief then made their exit out of the craft.

"Well. . . we landed?" Don said.

"Got a plan for how we are going to get the Jupiter 2?" John asked.

"Part 1, find a ship," Maureen said. "And part 2, set up a camp. Easy."

"Hey, it will be our first camping trip since we went aboard the resolute!" Judy said. "And it looks . . . So earthly."

"A lot of green," John said.

"I checked the fuel gauge on the way down," Maureen said. "We got enough fuel to last us a few months in space. If we use the fuel to heat the ship. . ." John and Maureen grimaced. "that will be down to weeks."

"Did you notice any black holes?" John asked.

"One of the first things I checked on the navigation system," Maureen said. "Relatively safe."

"We are going to spend awhile on this planet," Will said.

"Maybe not long, Will," John said.

"So, what is the monkey's name?" Don asked.

"Debbie," Will said.

"Two Debbie's are better than one," Don said, cradling the small but cooing Debbie the chicken.

"Bloop," Debbie stared at the blue eyes of the young girl holding her in her arms then tilted her head cupping her cheeks. "Bloop?"

"Bloop," Penny tickled under Debbie's arms then the small monkey threw their head back with a laugh withdrawing their lips during a strange but unusual primate laugh that went along the lines of ah ah ah ah. "Bloop! Who's a bloop!"

Debbie closed her eyes fiddled with warm feelings and a bubbly familiar emotions.

"You're a bloop! Bloop! Bloop!"

Debbie threw her hands out and her smaller hands landed on her back embracing the young girl in a hug.
