 Spot! Hey, Spot! Here, boy!!

Spot? He names all the PUFFERS…

Good, boy!!! Now, where’s Daisy?

Mission Control on Earth:

Urgent alert, Lunar Team! There was just a massive solar flare. Unpredicted. Heavy solar winds are already heading your way.

Aw. Must’ve lost its balance.

One MAN! One WOMAN! Saving the planet, one PUFFER at a time… Oh no. It’s happening to you, too.

We need you back to Base immediately.

Copy that. E.T.A.? SPACE WEATHER

Lunar outpost...

Radiation levels will become unsafe in approximately 38 minutes.

We’re farther from Base than planned. We can’t make it back that quickly.

If you disable the speed governor on the rover, and maintain 46 kilometers per hour, you can. That’s twice normal speed. But any delays will leave you exposed. And if there’s an accident--

...There’s no one to come get us. Other options? Any shelter at the second drill site?

No. You need to get going.
