" Kurk  to bridge. Beam us down when you are ready. Wait a moment! " exclaimed Jimmy. " Sprack , what are you staring at?"

Jimmy Kurk  was captain of the star ship , Exitprize. Spack , his number one , was one of the few survivors of an exploded planet,  Vulconned. They stood on the  teleporter and were about to be beamed down to a small planet below.

Sprack  sometimes wished he was captain of the star ship Exitprize but when it came to good looks Jimmy won by far. If the contest was decided on intelligence  alone  then Sprack might just win with his I.Q. of forty.

" Jimmy ," shouted Sprack," You're still dressed in your Jimmy jamies! You need to change into something as drab as what I'm wearing. This time wear your yellow tee shirt . I wear blue, remember?   That way when someone has to get shot or tortured I can say pick the yellow one."

"Sprack are you implying that I'm yellow?"  Jimmy snarled.

"No Jimmy . You're just as brave as I am.  Yellow is just your color ,sweetie."

"Now Sprack enough of that. I was up all night with Scatty trying to fix up our engines. Four hours of trying to understand what he was saying was enough to give me nightmares.  When I went to bed all I could hear in my mind was Captain , I've given you all I've got, '' lamented  Kurk. "  When I woke up this morning  Scatty was in bed with me."

Sprack looked hurt.

"I thought I was your number one , Jimmy."

"We'll talk about that later , Sprack," replied Kurk. " Right now we have to go on some unbelievable mission on this planet below where I get captured by seven lovely women and this time you get tortured."

"How do you know there are seven lovely women on the planet , Jimmy?" enquired Sprack.

" Because as lead actor in "Star Truck"  I demanded them instead of actors made up as aliens and looking like some of your boyfriends, Sprack.   Anyway  Sprack in this episode , if you have had  read the script,  you would have seen where you get tortured by three aliens . I believe they are all actors left over from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Should be right up your alley Sprack." replied Kurk.

"Do I get to use my logic?" asked Sprack.

" I believe that's how you escape right after they cut off one of your ears." replied Kurk.

Just then both Kurk and Sprack were interrupted by  a voice from the bridge.

" Uhella here. Are you two boys through with rehearsals? This episode only goes for forty
