BEASTLY EXPLORERS
The Beast-Hive hums, its coppery shell reflecting the volcanic glow of Planet Vespula. Ash drifts across the crimson ground where jagged peaks smoke against a sky dominated by Saturn’s fragmented rings.
Perched high on a dark, rocky spire, the massive green wind up frog, Commander Zabka, watches the scene. He blends into the strange ecosystem. Below, the water is a hypnotic, electric blue, concealing hidden creatures. Reconnaissance bees buzz in formation, transmitting data back to the mothership.
The team’s submersibles, designed to look like armored, orange fish, cut through the glowing surface, their wake rippling against the beehive-shaped hull. On the vertical cliff face, the coiling yellow-and-black Serpent navigates a path around immense, fossilized scallop shells that serve as bizarre, organic landmarks. Fire bursts on the horizon, but the Beastly Explorers push onward, an organic crew utilizing advanced tech, claiming their piece of the cosmic wilderness.
