Chapter 1: Intro

Page 25

A small ship appears from the blackness and pulls up behind Rico. It looks barely more advanced than a flying semi truck. Rico continues to float along, not noticing it behind him.

Suddenly, a voice speaks up in Rico's bubble helmet. "Hey, you okay out there? Looks like you need a hand."

Rico startles at the voice, not knowing his suit could transmit AND that somebody else exists out here. He spins around to see a blobish yellow with orange spots alien sitting at the helm of the space truck just behind him. A visor sits between its two eye stalks, not particularly shielding anything from sunlight or cosmic radiation.

Rico stares blankly at the creature, his mind momentarily shattered by the encounter and the creature before him. Rico was probably starting to expect to die out here alone, although that wouldn't have been his first choice, so seeing a new anything is a shock. The alien trucker casually raises a paw in a wave.

Author's Notes:

Space slug trucker! He's America's latest hero!

At least Rico isn't dead now and the comic can continue! Phew.
