Ferocious Planet Page #2

Oh!

Come on!

Whoa!

I don't think it's

gonna hold, Colonel!

Got any more weapons?

Negative, sir.

We were providing

light security.

Rifles were stored

upstairs with Vitale

and the rest

of the team.

Smoke grenades aren't

gonna do crap.

Ah!

Do you think it's gone?

[Door creaking]

What's going on

here, Colonel?

I was hoping

you could tell me.

[Exclaiming]

Are you insane?!

What the hell are you doing?

Come here.

Come on, take a look.

I don't understand.

How can this be?

Where's the rest

of the building?

We were three stories

underground.

From the looks of it,

I'd say that machine of yours

moved our little corner

of the building somewhere.

Impossible.

That's impossible.

I really wish you'd

stop saying that.

Do you realize we're

the first people ever

to travel to

another dimension?

Won't mean anything

if we don't get home.

Well, that machine

brought us here.

Can't it get us back?

It was damaged

in the blast.

I'll have to

repair it.

But even

if I do--

We can do it.

Then I suggest you

start looking at ways

to get us home.

Wait a minute,

wait a minute.

If we're in

a parallel dimension,

then how come

we can still breathe?

Well, the dimension

we were viewing

before the machine...

malfunctioned

was chosen for

its similarities

to our own.

Looks like

we were correct.

Well, at least you

got one thing right.

I'm one of

the smartest people

on the planet.

I'll figure this out.

Well, we should

take this opportunity

to explore.

We may never get

this chance again.

Bad idea.

We don't know

what's out there.

The rules of our

dimension might not

even apply here.

For all we know,

there might be 20

more of those things

waiting for us

out there.

All the reason

to do some recon.

If there are more things

out there like this,

I need to know.

Very heroic,

Colonel.

But very stupid.

It's called

self-preservation, Doc.

Well, it's your neck.

But don't say

I didn't warn you.

FAST:
I'm going

with you, Colonel.

The President will

want a full report,

and I'm gonna make sure

I give it to him.

Fine.

You two--

Beavis, Butt-head--

get these bodies

into the storage room

down the hall.

Lieutenant,

we take off in five.

Copy that.

Miraculous.

Looks like the building

slid down.

Our earthquake.

All right,

we'll head toward

those trees

and circle around.

Stay sharp.

I don't think

you're gonna get

much reception here.

I'm using the camera.

We'll need documentation

to take back with us.

No one is going

to believe this.

Remarkable.

If I didn't know better,

I'd say this is a giant

Amanita muscaria.

Better known as mushroom.

Did I fail to mention

the ground rules?

Take your hands

off me, Colonel.

We stick together.

You do not wander off.

I've already lost

a lot of people today,

and I don't intend

to lose any more.

Understood?

Understood.

REID:
Colonel?

How the hell

did that happen?

Is that one of

the meters from

in front of the building?

Must've got caught

in the force of

the explosion.

Gotten sucked in.

Is it safe?

I think so.

Unless you've

illegally parked.

Private.

Leave it.

Don't worry.

I won't turn you in.

But if we find

a bar out here,

you've got to buy me

a stiff drink.

Port 1, nominal.

Port 2, nominal.

Port 3 at plus-34.

[Beeping]

Port 3 at plus-36.

[Whining]

[Whining stops]

Port 3, nominal.

Looks like

the exchange

coupler's fried.

Can you fix it?

It'll take more than

a whack on the side.

But, yeah, I can.

Help me pull it out.

[Beeps]

I need you

to stay focused.

I'm sorry. I'm okay.

It's just--

Well, you know

how I get.

How did this

happen?

This is the only

possible explanation.

But that's--

Hold on, wait.

You forgot...

How did I miss that?

It still

doesn't explain--

Hang on.

Yeah.

That's it.

But it's theoretically

impossible.

We're living proof

that it's far from

impossible.

We can worry about

the theoretical later.

I'm more worried

about our other problem.

Even if we fix this--

I know.

Never thought I'd be

clearing away bodies.

I'm just the auditor

for the project.

I only came down here

to have a look.

Thought it would

get me out of work

early today.

Bad call.

You could say that.

What about you?

I've been an aide

for the Senator now

for about three years.

Guess I'd better

find a new boss.

Just two

working stiffs, huh?

Not the best choice

of words, but...

yeah.

Although...

if we make it back...

When we make it back.

When we make it back,

we're gonna be

so famous.

Do you think?

Hell yeah!

We could really

cash in.

Talk shows,

Fox & Friends,

the works.

This could be

our ticket.

Of course, uh...

if we were the ones

to bring this back--

I mean, all I'm saying is,

we gotta be on our

toes around here.

We gotta be ready

for when the window

of opportunity

presents itself.

And if we were

to work together...

Like partners?

Like partners.

I like that.

Now, all we have to do

is to get ourselves

something, anything,

to guarantee

our fame and fortune.

Something like, uh--

This?

Aaaah! Aaaah!

[Screaming]

Uhh.

Oh! Ohh!

He's dead.

What the hell

happened?

He poked it

with a pen,

then that black stuff

shot out and hit him

in the face.

I told him not to.

What is it? Acid?

Looks like it.

Don't poke the alien.

So, how does a colonel

get stuck guarding a lab?

Stuck?

It's my dream job.

I'm gonna string out

as soon as

the paperwork

goes through.

Got someone special

waiting for you

back home?

Yeah.

She's all

I think about.

What's her name?

Columbine.

Columbine?

It's the name

of a flower.

She was named

before the shooting.

I was gonna rename her

"The Light Brigade",

but they say it's

bad luck to rename.

A boat.

So, uh, that Dr. O'Hara

is pretty hot.

You two have gotten

pretty friendly

these past

couple of weeks.

Did you

tap that yet?

I don't think it'd

go over too well

with the bosses.

We're supposed

to be staying out of

the scientists' way.

Well, she does seem

like a cold fish.

That won't stop me

from trying.

[Screaming]

God!

Go!

Go, go, go, go!

[Roaring]

[Gunshots]

[Gunshots]

Rivers, stay down!

I'll be back for you!

Okay, Colonel!

[Roaring]

[Snarling]

Rivers, come in.

Go ahead, Colonel.

I can't see

the entrance.

Smoke grenade.

Roger. Can you see

what it's doing?

[Roaring]

Negative, sir.

You still have

your smoke grenades?

Roger that.

Uh, Colonel...

I'm gonna need

some assistance.

Looks like I landed

in some quicksand.

Quicksand?

Sorry about that, Colonel.

All right.

I can't see a thing

out this door.

What's your bearing?

I'm about 20 meters

your one o'clock.

And, Colonel...

you'd better hurry.

Roger that.

All right, Lieutenant...

I'm gonna have you

deploy your grenades

three meters

from the building,

on my mark.

Copy that.

This is suicide.

You're never

gonna make it.

Just give it

some time.

It will leave.

What if it doesn't?

I'm not gonna

leave him out there.
