The Jellies didn’t need slaves. They were obviously smart enough to work out how to pump warm water from the surface. Virgil put a hand on Kip’s shoulder. He seemed to know what Kip was struggling to understand. ‘They keep us as slaves to show us that they’re more powerful.’ Kip was about to repl...
He crashed into the platform like a giant sticky sponge. Seconds later, Finbar touched down beside him. ‘Are you hurt?’ Kip shook his head, fighting to free himself from the giant ball of mousse. He finally managed to wipe it all off his helmet, so at least he could see. He checked himself for da...
Zorg replied.‘We think our transporter is at the bottom of the Slime Pond. But we don’t have any diving gear.’ ‘We do,’ said Kip with a grin. ‘Come on, let’s go!’ At the door of Zert and Zorg’s house, there was a rope made of knotted dried slime vines, hanging down to the ground.

He had a message from MoNa. ‘Let’s open the cell doors and rescue the kids,’ Finbar said urgently. But Kip was staring at his SpaceCuff. ‘MoNa’s system has detected a missile from Clevor heading for Geekatron,’ he said, looking white. Finbar’s whiskers quivered. ‘This rivalry is getting out of ha...
But one of his best Space Scout talents was bouncing back. Now he was extra-determined to get on with his mission. In silence, Kip and Finbar strode to the bridge to download their mission brief. The bridge was MoNa’s command centre, located in her nose cone. At the door, Kip’s eyeball was scanne...
He took Kip and Finbar to the walkway outside his house. But the walkway was moving at triple the speed it did before. ‘It’s in Emergency Mode,’ said Pappy, sounding surprised. Kip saw green-and-white checked police robots with flashing lights on top of their plasma-screen heads. They raced past,...
