Unwelcome Allies - Part 5

[tense music] All right, Rich, get the blue ones. Where the hell is Rich? It's him. He's armed. Run! Danger. Madison. Over there. I could use a little help over here. [tense music] [lasers firing] [slow motion] No! [water bubbling] [screams] Hey, what the hell is going on? Beam us out. [teleporter humming] Duke, get us out of here. Pascal, get the ship to the rendezvous point immediately. On it, Captain. [door closing] I got you, governor. Old Pete to the rescue. [engine roaring] [triumphant music] When did you have time to get to the bridge? I happened to be in the neighborhood when the call came in. Good thing I was here to save your tail. [exhales] Phew, that was close. Did you hear them say something about Rich having a weapon? I don't know, but I do know we need backup. Those buggers had no intent to give us the barrels. Whoa, where did you come from? I'm Axel. I introduced myself on the surface. I'm your instructor in the use of the materials. Brit, camera on me. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot you. Easy, everyone. I think there has been a misunderstanding. Axel, why don't you tell us why your people started shooting down there? My colleagues detected a potent biological weapon on your companion. We had to neutralize him. He was a threat to the entire colony. He's unarmed, no long-range comms. I don't think he's a threat. Captain, did we bring a biological weapon down to the surface? Not that I'm aware of, but Rich wasn't part of my crew. Oh, Barty, get off it. I didn't ask Rich to bring down a biological weapon, but God knows he smelled funny. Sometimes I thought he was a bit of a biological weapon myself. [chuckles] I don't claim to know what really happened on the planet, but I believe it is in my best interests, and yours, to act as your guide in the use of the materials. He could be useful, so we'll keep him alive. But Whiskers, keep an eye on him. [engine roaring]
