Dead Friendship Blossom:

Get passed by unnoticed, poetically.

You are certain you don't know who or what a friendship blossom is. Frankly, the very notion of a friendship blossom strikes you as foolish and botanically unlikely.

>Keep going

You keep going toward the ANIMAL HABITAT, drawn inexorably to the cries of horror and agony.

>Steve John the Drop: Have a dream that explains why the military headquarters has been moved... and continue being awesome! (Even though you are knocked out)

You are now DREAM STEVE-JOHN.

These PITIFUL and BACKWARD ALIENS are depending on you to save them from themselves!

They tell you that a RUDE FACTION has formed, a tribe of those who cannot wrap their MEAGER MINDS around the benefits of membership in INTERSTELLAR SOCIETY, and seek to violently oppose THE NEGOTIATIONS.

Day dream about being a dinosaur. Realize there are one too many thought bubbles.

Day dream about being a dinosaur.

You imagine being a DINOSAUR in the age when SNAILS ruled the universe.

Yeah, that's probably pretty accurate.

>Flex for the ladies

The strange, Birdo-like DINO-DAMES swoon for your irresistable FLEX ANALOGUE.

Realize there are one too many thought bubbles.

Wait no, that's stupid.


Besides, you're in the middle of an ACTION-PACKED FIREFIGHT suddenly.

Ha! Look at the cowards run, as reinforcements arrive with SIRENS blaring! Still, you'd better evacuate the facility and relocate to the auxiliary headquarters now that this building has been compromised by NINJA.

...Wait just a SPACE SECOND! That's not the sound of a NATIVE POLICE siren!

That's the sound of the base's EMERGENCY SIREN!

You are now REAL LIFE STEVE-JOHN THE DROP.

The EMERGENCY SIREN is blaring.

Also, my brain keeps thinking 'germophobia' means 'hatred of Germans'.

Alternative Suggestions:

>Wesley: Prepare yourself for COMBAT. Just in case you are attacked by some ALIEN like you were by your previous friend, "Boot" or whatever his name was (you refuse to remember it)

>Nigel: Gain SHRIVELED status to escape the keyhole (Surely you have begun to lose precious MANEUVER JUICES by being away from Wesley for so long)

>Bob: Whatever you do, DO NOT go into KEYHOLE MONSTER MADNESS.

Oh wow guys I figured out some of thriggle's alien writing!

It appears to be a FOLDED MISSIVE. One side contains alien text and photographs printed in a red ink and some sticky pink substance, and it appears that someone scrawled an INDECIPHERABLE ALIEN MESSAGE on the MISSIVE's back.

This, from way back on page 7, says "Headline" on the front and "We strike at dawn" on the back.

You fall into an OPEN BOX which was conveniently being transported under the vent just as you fell.

And this box says "box of science"!

What? No way, you're friggin' Steve John the Drop! Everybody wants to be you, man!

And nobody witnessed this EMBARRASSING GARBAGE INCIDENT anyway.

...


Soldier: "Um, excuse me, sir. The, uh, the General would like to see you right away."

Steve John: "Yes, good, fine! I'll be right there!"

Soldier: "Why are you, um...?"

Steve John: "MY WAYS MAY SEEM STRANGE TO YOU BUT AS YOUR CULTURE MATURES YOU WILL COME TO APPRECIATE THE HARMONY THAT DRIVES ALL MY ACTIONS!"

Soldier: "Okay, okay, whatever."

The soldier leaves.

Phew, that was close! You nearly almost compromised the UNQUESTIONING RESPECT AND HONOR that you have earned of these aliens through your non-stop embodiment of PERFECTION IN EVERY WAY.

>Steve John the Drop: Check on Bob, hopefully your friend hasn't harmed himself in any way.

You decide that, before reporting to the General, you'd better finish checking on Bob. He never was the wettest drip in the bucket, so to speak.

You move to unlock the door.

What the...?

Great. The keyhole is jammed.

You consider using the WASTE RECEPTACLE to sneak a peak into the window on the door.


No, on second thought, that's too risky. Better just...

>Jam it in harder. Use all of your ADVANCED ALIEN WAYS to attempt to resist making the "that's what she said" joke.

Pushing the key into the keyhole more forcefully, you successfully refrain from making any SEXUAL INNUENDO.


You appear to have forced out whatever was jamming the keyhole.

>Bob: It appears you have gone into KEYHOLE MONSTER MADNESS, but lucky the monster has disappeared... OH NO! The door is opening! PANIC!

Hey look a thing.

Sorry it's sort of lousy; my hands were shaking really badly today.

Trufax: Originally, it was going to have Pierre Curie in the upper-right corner saying "I speak slimelian!" and Marie Curie going "Radium eyes!", but I decided not to.
