3rd Person POV

= Spaceship, Space =

The spaceship falls out of the sky and hits the surface of an alien planet. Hard. Brooklyn, Sara, and Gary groan

"Are you...are you two okay?" Gary asks, standing up

"We just crash landed on an alien spaceship. No, Gary, we are not okay." Sara tells him

The alien AI says something. "Oh, boy, that's not good." Gary says

"What did Alien Gideon say?" Sara asks

Uh, it's a little hard to translate exactly since in my language there are over 70 ways to say 'explode from the inside'." Gary says. "The general idea is we, uh, lost all our fuel when we crashed."

"Whoa." Sara says, looking out the window. "Where are we?"

"Uh, we were on course to land on Pliny X-19, but Kayla didn't give me any other details." Gary says

"Well, I thought she was supposed to be your fiancée." Sara says

"Ex-fiancée, and, um, communication wasn't our strong suit, uh, but I do know that we were hired by some power hungry space lord to gather the universe's most dangerous creatures, and now we're on his planet." Gary says

"Perfect." Brooklyn mumbles under her breath

"It could be Hunger Games out there." Gary poses and upon Brooklyn's confused look, he looks at Sara. "She's never read Hunger Games?"

"It wasn't my top priority when I first got to this country." Brooklyn snarks, crossing her arms

"It's bad." Gary says simply. "It could be really bad...the air could be poisonous gas."

"Okay, we just... we need to find something that can fuel this ship so we can get back home." Sara says

"Or what if we send out a distress signal and then wait for the Legends to come find us?" Gary suggests

"Oh, so now you wanna put the rest of my team in danger?" Brooklyn questions Gary. "I don't think so."

"Well, uh, good news... I've got my deck of strong American women playing cards." Gary says. "Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Dolores Huerta, Representative Shirley Chisholm."

"Of all the people to be stuck with..." Sara whispers

"Yeah, for real." Brooklyn mutters

Barking is heard outside. "What is... what is that?" Sara asks, walking over to the window and seeing a dog

"Dog?" Gary says. "A really cute dog."

"Three moons." Sara says, looking at the skyline. "Three moons, yeah, I can get behind that, but a dog, that's weird." She says, looking back at Brooklyn. "Any ideas, super brain?"

"Just one." Brooklyn says, uncrossing her arms and putting her hand up to the window. "If that dog can breathe...that means we can breathe." She says, looking at Sara

"And it's wearing a scarf!" Gary exclaims, looking at the dog. "Okay, Gary, resist the cuteness. You've been fooled by dogs before." Sara turns on her heel and walks out of the control room with Brooklyn right behind her. "Where are you going?" Gary asks

"We're gonna follow that dog." Sara says

***

= Alien Planet, Space = 

Sara, Gary, and Brooklyn trek across the alien planet, the surface rough and purple. But the dog was no longer around (which was both good news and bad news for Brooklyn – good news because of her fear of dogs and bad cause then they would have no leads)
