Jo-Don: You wimminfolk'll be coming back to camp with me and my boys. No way fillies as purdy as ya'll are getting locked up with these weirdo hippie freaks. Not when you got REAL men around.
Panel 2

Panel 3
*Taryn lifts Jo-Don into the air by his shirt*
Jo-Don: WHUT the...!

Panel 1
caption: Before long...
*Outside the "bunkhouse", several cowboys are erecting a device*
Cowboy: I reckon this force-fence'll keep 'em in!
Panel 2
*inside the bunkhouse*
Taryn (looking out the window): It looks like they're setting up some kind of force-shield to prevent us from escaping.
Noyd: That just ain't cool!
Panel 3
Tiffany: Oh, Tenzil! I'm so worried! You just can't go out and face that Jo-Dun tomorrow! What if he kills you?
Tenzil: Oh, I wouldn't worry to much about it, Tiff. Everything will be okay.
Panel 4
Questar: My friends! My teleportation powers can get us out of this situation easily!
Lester: And wind up in open space again? It was your stupid teleportation powers that got us here in the first place!
Panel 5
Questar: Well, I admit, I'm not always 100%accurate, but...
Taryn: I think we should save Questar's power for... emergency uses. Let's see if anything else occurs to us.
Panel 6
Noyd: Can't you pull that trick like you did in the Super-Stalag, where you eat your way out through the ground?
Questar: My powers allow me to sense that the energies of the force shield extend below us as well.

Lester: Well, well, well. You seem to have a power for all occasions. Do you have Super-Lameness-Eradicating powers too? If so, you should use them... on yourself.
Panel 2
Questar: But I'm not lame. My legs are sturdy and strong.
Lester: Arrrrrrrrgh!!!
Panel 3
Tiffany: Calm down, brother dear. Your bowels...!
Lester: My bowels are just fine, thanks, Tiffany.
Panel 4
Plant Lad: Why am I even here?
Tenzil: Some of the readers are probably wondering that also, Noyd.
Plant Lad: Huh?
Panel 5
Taryn: Pay him no attention, Noyd. Sometimes he gets weird like this.
Plant Lad: Whatever. I'm skinny again, and I didn't sign on to fight giant monsters and hillbilly space-country-music fans. I'm a ROCKER, man!
Panel 6
*Tiffany leans forward, her breasts brushing upon Noyd's arm*
Tiffany: Oh, Mr. Noyd! Please stay and help Tenzil and my brother! After all... they helped you.
Panel 7
Plant Lad: Well... ummm... it's not like I have anything waiting for me on Simballi. I'm a pariah twice over there.
Panel 8
Tiffany: And here, you're loved!
Plant Lad: Loved? Cool!
Panel 9
Tenzil: Look gang, I'm a little tense... I think I need some peace and quiet to think a bit.
Taryn: We're ALL tense. Maybe we should try to get a little rest.

*Taryn is preparing a bed*
Questar: Uh... Miss Taryn, ma'am? Would you mind if I... uh... if you don't care... uh... slept with you?
Taryn: WHAT!?
Panel 2
Questar: I assure you my intentions are completely honorable! I mean, maybe we could just snuggle and stuff. We're in a pretty dangerous situation, maybe I could... um... protect you?
Panel 3
Taryn: Look, Questar, you're a nice guy... but I think you're... rushing things a bit. Tiffany and I will be bunking together. I think we'll be perfectly okay. Okay?
Panel 4
Questar (disappointed): Well, uh... sure. I'll just be... uh... right over there in the next room if you need anything.
Panel 5
Taryn (laying back in bed): *Sigh!* What next?

Tenzil: High noon...? It's still dark outside.
Jo-Don: Shut yer metro-slicker MOUTH, politcian! Maybe you senator-type hippies have high noon during the daylight on your dope planet, but here on Sexat, things're diff'rent. Things're as they OUGHT ta be!
Panel 4
Tenzil: SO there's no way to avoid a violent duel, huh?
J-Don: Violence? Are you ig'nert? We're going toe-to-toe... at a chilli-cookoff! YaHOOO!
Panel 5
Tenzil: Chilli coo... you mean you folks duel by cooking chilli?
Jo-Don: What, they do it diff'rent on the hippie planet?
Panel 6
Tenzil: No, no... that's how we do it too. But, ummm... I'm going to require certain ingredients.
Panel 7
Jo-Don: Whelp, there's nothing in the rule books that says yer pals here can't fetch whut you need, but YOU stay here until the duelin's done.
Panel 8
*the gang huddles*
Taryn: Chilli cookoff? You're doomed!
Tenzil: Have a little faith, Taryn!
Panel 9
Questar: What ingredients will you requre, Tenzil?
