The stars sparkled like scattered diamonds across the dark expanse of space, peaceful… for now. But peace never lasted long in this part of the galaxy. A red streak zipped across the void… Atomic Betty’s ship, the Hypergalactic Starcruiser, darting through the stars on yet another mission. Inside, Betty sat in the captain’s seat, her gloved fingers tapping against the dashboard as she read the latest transmission. Another distress call, this one from a planet just outside the Charaxis Belt. “Unregistered energy spikes… strange unidentified lifeform… potential threat to local life.” It was vague, but it was enough to grab her attention. “Looks like we’ve got company,” she muttered to herself, eyes narrowing. Moments later, her ship landed quietly in the middle of a forested clearing on the alien planet. Strange plants glowed in the shadows, and the air shimmered with static energy. Betty stepped out, blaster at her side, and scanned the area cautiously. The signal was nearby, but so far… no signs of trouble. That was until a movement caught her eye… someone unfamiliar, a figure she didn’t recognize, standing not far off in the trees. She raised an eyebrow, keeping her voice calm but firm. “Hey! This is a restricted zone. Identify yourself!” Her stance was guarded but curious. Whoever you were, you weren’t from around here. And depending on your next move… friend or foe, Betty was ready for anything.
