Day 299: "Computer, is there a replacement beryllium sphere on board?" The crew of the NSEA Protector has landed on Planet Longmire and little do they know that Gorignak the Rock Monster is waiting for them as they search for a replacement beryllium sphere. Commander Peter Quincy Taggart has run up against this beast once before and barely escaped with his life. Will the intrepid crew survive another encounter? Or will the Campground Host have to intervene?
"Galaxy Quest" meets the National Park Service! Gorignak appeared mysteriously on top of a stump at the rear of the Community Building recently, and his origin is a matter of conjecture. I think I detect the hand of our departing campground hosts in his physical engineering. He's very solidly built, and stands ready to greet anyone approaching the registration table. He won't allow fires in any undesignated location, and enforces quiet hours with a firm fist. Pick up your trash and be sure you put your food in the approved "bear box" storage containers or you may find yourself wishing for a digital conveyor to whisk your atoms to safety.
