Pancake meets the Mollopods

Who: Justin Pancake
Where: Starbug heading towards the Mollopod Kingdom of Little Cheftonia
When: After Justin had escaped Eckerslike
Orders flashed up onto a tiny dashboard screen for him to return
immediately to the JMC Blue Dwarf. Apparently all crew were needed to
help out the Mollopods and 'keep the peace' with their fat smelly allies.
It was the first place that Eckerslike would look for him. Justin
panicked and bit his fingernails. Maybe Eckerslike won't come after
him? Or maybe he will? Will he be angry at him for trying to prise
open his cupboard door?
He decided to call Eckerslike's bluff and set a navigation course.
A course for the Blue Dwarf.

Justin laid back as Holly piloted the Starbug for him. "Bigelly bong"
Said Holly appearing on the screen. His first sight was of Justin with
his hand down his pants holding a dirty magazing with the other. Holly
cringed. "Just approaching the Blue Dwarf. Thought you'd want to know.
They're in a wide orbit around a small Mollopod colony called the
'Kingdom of Little Cheftonia'.
Justin quickly sat up but left his hand jammed in his trousers.
"Cheers Hol! Can you land on the planet for me, I'm a bit busy."
"No problem. Now I'm just off to be digitally sick." Said Holly, still
cringing.
The Starbug landed in the middle of a small Mollopod town. The
buildings were nicely made from beautifully carved marble, and there
was an ornate fountain in the middle of the street which Holly landed
one of the Starbug's landing struts in.
The door opened and Justin walked out, stretching himself. The
townsfolk came out the greet him, so he nodded and waved. He realised
he still had the porno in his hand so he gave it to a small kid
walking past.
One of the Mollopods squirmed over and came to greet him. "Good day to
you sir!" he said. "Are you here to save us from the Evil Amnesty
International army?"
"yeah. Well that's... the plan.. I guess. Listen, where are the others?"
There were blank faces all round.
"Other... Humans... from the JMC?"
The Mollopods shook their heads, and Justin pressed a button on his
watch. "Holly? You've landed me in the middle of nowhere. What am I
supposed to do?"
Holly twitched. "You didn't specify where to land! So this spot looked
nice enough."
"Yeah but I'm not exactly the best ambassador for the JMC am I? I just
handed a porno to a little alien kid."
"Just... keep them talking?" Holly suggested.
Justin took a deep breath to address the Mollopods. More had just come
out to see him. They obviously didn't get many humans landing in their
small town.
"Mollopod people... the... erm... JMC have come to help you. But first
you have to show your gratitude by giving me lots of beer and wine!"
There were lots of approving nods and one of the leading men who
seemed to be wearing an eloquent toga sent some women off for the alcohol.
Meanwhile, a few whispers started to circulate around the crowd. "I've
heard Humans taste lovely. Pass it on!"
<Will anyone come to Justin's rescue to stop him from being eaten?>
