Strip by: Wibi

{A damaged spaceship is spiraling wildly.}
Voice from ship: ARE YOU MAD?!
{Close-up on the ship. It's heading very fast.}
Voice from ship: We'll crash straight into the enemy planet!
{A look inside the ship. A brave captain speaks into his microphone, the alien planet in view.}
Captain: Yes - but our arsenal will detonate and take them with us. It's the federation's last hope. I'm sorry.
{The ship crashes and ineffectually explodes, as two aliens watch.}
Alien 1: Do they all rationalize the Ultra-Magnet?
Alien 2: That makes 32 out of 35. I'd say: yes.
