Brewster Rockit by Tim Rickard for August 14, 2024

Only ninetacles? Not tentacles?

Not really bed head more likely bed tentacle!

But first they have to play a song by Sting.

“We’ll just strike any exposed skin with our poisonous tentacles and…”

“Sir? Is there a problem?”

“They don’t have any exposed skin while they’re inside the space station, do they?”

“Well, no Sir. But I believe there are a couple people there who might try going outside while wearing bathing suits.”

That’s going to sting…

Reminds me of an early sci-fi story about pioneering flights, men going up higher and higher in open-air cockpit aircraft… and encountering something deadly. It’s not hard to imagine that there were/are real creatures up there, like transparent giant jellyfish filled with hydrogen or helium, but now hardly noticeable or extinct since only enclosed metal high-speed aircraft achieve such altitudes, aside from a few easily-avoided balloons.

I wonder if they got these jellyfish aliens from a Star Trek: TNG episode?

I don’t think he’s ready to conduct the sting operation.

The RU Sirius has got to put a lock on their entrance door.

Since sound does not travel though space, they must be communicating telepathically.

Are they going to demonstrate their sting wit to Brewster? And watch it all go over his head?
