Station V3 archives - Saturday 22 November 2003 (#180) [[Alternate Floyd opens an Alternate Reality window to speak with Floyd. Ebb is floating above.]] / Alternate Floyd: Floyd! I'd like a few words with you about those pirates from your universe. / [[Ebb floats closer.]] / Floyd: How much trouble could they be?

Station V3 archives - Monday 24 November 2003 (#182) [[Linton, Mr. Maintenance Engineer, and Floyd, on the station...]] / Mr. Maintenance Engineer: Have you heard anything about Emmit? / Floyd: The Station Authority sent a shuttle to find him. / [[Down on the planet, Emmit and Unit Six watch as a shuttle (unseen) completes its submersion in swampy waters. Glug glug...]] / Emmit: The swamp may not have been the best place for you to land.
Station V3 archives - Tuesday 25 November 2003 (#183) [[Floyd and Mr. Maintenance Engineer are looking at the teleportation device.]] / Mr. Maintenance Engineer: I've been working on the teleport to increase its range! / Floyd: Try it on maximum and see if it reaches the planet! / [[Long shot of the planet, showing a space pod plummeting to the surface from QUITE a long ways up in the sky.]] / [[Floyd turns to leave.]] / Floyd: I think it needs a little more work.

Station V3 archives - Friday 28 November 2003 (#186) [[Floyd is consulting Mr. Maintenance Engineer about their problems with the alien life form the teleport accidentally brought on board.]] / Floyd: That thing you brought up here by mistake is still on the teleport! / Mr. Maintenance Engineer: Don't worry about it! / [[Close-up on Mr. Maintenance Engineer.]] / Mr. Maintenance Engineer: The teleport has a special feature which puts anything dangerous in stasis for a while, and then sends it back! / [[Floyd watches as the monster creeps up behind Mr. Maintenance Engineer.]] / Mr. Maintenance Engineer: Or was that only on the deluxe model? / Monster: Grrr.

Station V3 archives - Sunday 30 November 2003 (#188) [[Floyd is consulting with a cyan-painted robot with a T-shaped antenna, who is considering renting space on Station V3.]] / Prospective Renter: I like this location, and 400 credits per cycle is reasonable. / [[Close-up on Floyd and the visiting robot.]] / Prospective Renter: Now, security is important. What's your staff like? / [[Close-up on just Floyd.]] / Floyd: We have an excellent security officer here! / [[Both robots watch as Linton runs past, closely followed by the recently-teleported yellow monster from the planet below.]] / [[There is a moment of silence while the new robot and Floyd watch the others run down the hallway.]] / [[Floyd is never one to let reality get in the way of business. He gives it his best shot.]] / Floyd: That rarely happens. How does fifty credits per cycle rent sound?
Station V3 archives - Monday 01 December 2003 (#189) [[Ebb looks down the hall as Linton reports to Floyd.]] / Linton: That thing that got teleported up here is gone! / Floyd: By "gone" do you mean you killed it, or teleported it back home? / Linton: By "gone" I mean it stole our escape pod.

Station V3 archives - Thursday 04 December 2003 (#192) [[At the crash site, Unit Six and Emmit are still searching for a way back to Station V3. Unit Six sees something in the distance and points.]] / Unit Six: Why don't we use that thing over there to call for help? / [[In a small, grassy clearing, what looks like a traditional Earth-type Public Phone kiosk stands alone in the wilderness.]] / [[They walk up to the pole-mounted unit with the traditional phone symbol on the side. Unit Six inspects the dangling broken cord, from which the handset is clearly missing.]] / Unit Six: Never mind. It's out of order. / Emmit: Figures!
Station V3 archives - Friday 05 December 2003 (#193) [[Emmit and Unit Six wander away from their joint crash site and the broken phone kiosk.]] / Emmit: Our shuttles are gone, and we can't call for help. How are we going to get home? / [[As they wander along, they come up to a large billboard.]] / Billboard Sign: <--THIS WAY! Honest J!on's Used Shuttles. / Unit Six: I just thought of a way...
Station V3 archives - Saturday 06 December 2003 (#194) [[Emmit and Unit Six approach a seedy-looking, multi-tentacled alien in a loud sports coat, smoking a vile stogie.]] / Honest J!on: That shuttle over there is perfect for you guys.

This is MY shuttle! / Honest J!on: Tell you what. I'll knock it down to 4000 because I like you guys.
 
Station V3 archives - Sunday 07 December 2003 (#195) [[Standing by Emmit's recovered shuttle, under the large "HONEST J!ON - USED SHUTTLES" sign, Emmit and Unit Six read another sign Honest J!on is pointing out to them, on the side of a large holding tank.]] / Honest J!on: Now that you guys have your shuttle, you may be interested in this month's other special! / Tank Sign: SHUTTLE FUEL. 10000 credits per unit.
Station V3 archives - Monday 08 December 2003 (#196) [[Finally heading home to Station V3, Emmit and Unit Six are again in space.]] / Emmit (on the shuttle): Interesting... This button's new! I wonder what it does. / [[Apparently Emmit presses the button. There is an actinic flash of light as all space and energy are reversed - what was white is black, and what was black is white - as well as upside down.]] / <> / [[The effect fades... and things are again their correct colors, but the ship is now flying upside down and reversed. After a short pause, Unit Six can't help but ask...]] / Unit Six (on the shuttle): Would it have killed you to wait until we got back to the station to find out? / Emmit: Sorry.
Station V3 archives - Tuesday 09 December 2003 (#197) [[Still the outside view of Emmit's shuttle.]] / Emmit (on the shuttle): How are we doing? / Unit Six (on the shuttle): We're way off course, I have no idea where we are, and we're running out of fuel. / Emmit (on the shuttle): Now that's progress!
Station V3 archives - Wednesday 10 December 2003 (#198) [[Back on Station V3, Mr. Maintenance Engineer has good news for Floyd.]] / Mr. Maintenance Engineer: We got a message from Emmit! / Floyd: When will he be back? / Mr. Maintenance Engineer: He said it might be a while... / [[Far, far away, in the sky above a strangely suburban terrestrial neighborhood, the shuttle looks for a place to land and get fuel.]] / Emmit: Do we have a map? / Billboard Sign: Welcome To Carbondale: The Pioneer City.
Station V3 archives - Thursday 11 December 2003 (#199) [[Emmit and Unit Six are in a tight spot - the shuttle is looking for a landing spot.]] / Emmit: We have to land! We're almost out of fuel. / [[The shuttle heads for the ground at what looks like a twentieth-century gas station.]] / Sign: Gas / [[Emmit and Unit Six go inside to the gas station to talk to the human attendant.]] / Unit Six: Do you sell shuttle fuel here? / Human Gas Station Attendant: Heck no. We don't even sell diesel.
 
Station V3 archives - Friday 12 December 2003 (#200) [[Emmit and Unit Six are still stranded on what looks like old Twentieth-Century Earth, looking for fuel. A local human male in a hat, who looks vaguely like Emmit, approaches them.]] / Stranger: You guys are from space! You must have pushed the new button in your shuttle. / Stranger: I guess it's the rip in the fabric of reality over behind the garage that brings you here. / [[Observation made, the stranger wanders off again.]] / Unit Six: This place scares me.
Station V3 archives - Saturday 13 December 2003 (#201) [[Emmit and Unit Six go off behind the human stranger's garage to see the 'rip in the fabric of reality' he had told them of. Sure enough, there's a circular disturbance that looks like one end of a wormhole, with cosmic strings hanging out of it.]] / [[Unit Six reaches for one of the threads of reality hanging out of the wormhole.]] / Unit Six: What do you think would happen if I pulled this? / [[Back on V3, Floyd's usual robotic face has been replaced by human-style features - eyes, nose, mouth... even a mustache. He is being given a strange look by Mr. Maintenance Engineer.]] / Floyd: What's wrong? / Mr. Maintenance Engineer: Nothing...
Station V3 archives - Sunday 14 December 2003 (#202) [[All around Station V3, reality has gone nuts. Everything is a patchwork quilt of strange and altered dimensions. In some sections, disjointed views of various space stations are visible, with shuttles attempting to fly around and dock with them - in others, strange colors swirl, or scenes from other planets and places show through. In one, Ebb looks on as Mr. Maintenance Engineer's hat and eyes float away from him in in different directions. In another, the Cook floats strangely, with the letters of his "F O O D" sign drifting around. On a billboard somewhere, are the letters ZAP in red. Everything is chaos.]] / [[In a small view back on what may be Earth, Unit Six is still pulling on the cosmic strings of reality, that trail out of the multi-colored, swirled end of a wormhole through what may be both time and space.]] / Emmit: That may not be a good idea! / Unit Six: What could it hurt?
Station V3 archives - Monday 15 December 2003 (#203) [[On V3, Mr. Maintenance Engineer is shareing a feeling he has been having, to Linton and Ebb.]] / Mr. Maintenance Engineer: Something feels wrong, almost as if the universe was angry about something! / Linton: That's ridiculous! / [[Back behind the garage, the mouth of the wormhole seems to be reacting to Unit Six' meddling.]] / Wormhole: Grrrr!
Station V3 archives - Tuesday 16 December 2003 (#204) [[Still back behind the Earth-like garage, the mouth of the wormhole suddenly sucks in Unit Six!]] / [[Comic strings reach out for Emmit before he has barely turned to run, and drag him in also.]] / [[The mouth of the wormhole is alone and undisturbed again.]] / Wormhole: *burp*
 
Station V3 archives - Wednesday 17 December 2003 (#205) [[Another wormhole mouth suddenly opens in the air a bit above Emmit's grounded shuttle, ejecting Emmit, Unit Six, and a can of some kind.]] / [[Emmit sits up, but Unit Six hasn't even righted himself before he notices the can.]] / Unit Six: Look! Shuttle fuel! / [[Somewhere else, probably far, far away, two alien Shriners appear to be packing for a trip.They are monopods with four arms, a pile of luggage, and are both wearing a fez.]] / Alien Shriner 1: You got everthing except the fuel we needed? / Alien Shriner 2: Yes... Funny story there...
Station V3 archives - Thursday 18 December 2003 (#206) [[Fuelled up at last, Emmit and Unit Six take off and head for space.]] / Emmit: It'll be nice to get back home! / [[View from outside the shuttle as it searches for Unit Six's home station.]] / Emmit: The navigation system says we're very close to Station A1! / [[This patch of space is unaccountably empty, however. Nothing but the shuttle, floating alone in space.]] / Emmit: ...Except it isn't here. / Unit Six: I noticed that.
Station V3 archives - Friday 19 December 2003 (#207) [[We see the shuttle, alone in an empty patch of space where Station A1 should have been, Unit Six and Emmit consider their situation.]] / Emmit (on the shuttle): THe station isn't here! We must have gone through a time warp! / [[The shuttle just floats there, while they think about this.]] / Emmit (on the shuttle): I could push that button again... / Unit Six (on the shuttle): What is it with you and that button?
Station V3 archives - Saturday 20 December 2003 (#208) [[Emmit has found a confused FLoyd, and is excitedly trying to tell him of his adventures.]] / Emmit: We made it to Station A1, but hundreds of years too early, so it wasn't there. The Time Squad from their future came and got us. / [[A Time Squad member in boots and goggles suddenly appears behind Emmit and hits him with a time beam from a hand-held device, which reduces him to sparkles as Floyd watches.]] / [[Back on Station A1, a Headquarters Supervisor is debriefing Emmit and Unit Six.]] / Headquarters Supervisor: Welcome back! I want a full report by tomorrow. / Unit Six (thinking): Why did I want to be rescued?
Station V3 archives - Sunday 21 December 2003 [[A1 Garage]] / Unit 6: I've asked the garage to check your shuttle before you go back to V3. / Unit 6: We have all the best mechanics here on A1! / Mechanic: Hey! What does this button do? / <> / [[Smoke pours from the garage.]] / Emmit: I almost believed you for a moment!
