Sixty days. It had been sixty days since Commander Endoth had wormed his way onto Webstar and decided to drive her insane. Empress sighed the only good thing was that the preparations were now complete and they were ready to go pick up Stanford. She was out of reality until a knock on the door brought her back "Yes?"
"Sorry to intrude but we have a problem" Linda looked down nervously.
"Problem?"
"Yes, a major problem! Parkath and I have been keeping a tab on Mars and something big is going to happen" Oh gosh it should have been Parkath here, shit she was too good to be yelled t by Empress!
"Well tell me what this problem is. I don't have all day Linda"
"Alright calm yourself. Parkath recently picked up on a signal coming from the area near the pickup spot, we don't know what race it's from but we do know whatever is there is hostile"
"Shit. We have no way to warn him either" Empress flopped back down into her chair placing her head in her hands as she suppressed a scream of rage "Stanford should be fine, he's dealt with more shit back in Gravity Falls and plus once he gets there he can turn on the communicator and we can check up on him"
Linda took a small step back nodding "Sure, I'll just keep a tab on everything and tell you if it gets worse. Oh and just so you know Webstar is ready for Light speed jumping"
"At least something is going as planned"

Log Entry: SOL 147
It's time to go!
I've cooked the potatoes, hooked up my oxygen supply, tested the pop box, and managed to grab Squishy and shove him into the rover.
I may still be mad at him but hey he deserves to escape Mars with me.
If I leave now I'll have 59 extra SOLs to use up in case something goes wrong and knowing my luck I'll need every extra second I can get.
I get into the rover after picking up some spare things...mainly supplies and weapons. I don't trust Mars, there could be Martians on here just waiting to get a hold of me.
I blast the music in the rover and put the petal to the metal, pickup spot here I come!
This is going to be one of those boring shitty road trips like the ones my parents used to force me to go on.
