But it hides its dangers well. Lieutenant Clarkson, establish communication with the local Constabulary.”
“On it, Captain,” Ava responded, her fingers dancing over the console.
A moment later, the holographic screen flickered to life, revealing the face of Chief Constable Fiona Blake. Her expression was a mix of relief and urgency.
“Captain Spacedawg, thank you for responding so quickly. We have a group of tourists stranded on the North Glacier. The weather is worsening, and they’re running out of supplies.”
“We’re here to help, Chief Constable,” Spacedawg replied with a reassuring nod. “Send us all the data you have on their location and the current weather conditions.”
“Sending it now,” Blake confirmed. “We’ll also have a team ready to assist on the ground. They’ll rendezvous with you at the landing site.”
“Understood. We’ll keep you updated on our progress. Spacedawg out.” He turned to his crew, his expression serious. “Alright, team, you heard her. This is a critical rescue operation. Let’s get those tourists back safely.”
Spacedawg gathered his senior officers for a briefing in the war room. The 3D map of the glacier was projected onto the table, showing the tourists’ last known location.
“Here’s what we know,” Spacedawg began. “The tourists are stranded here, and the weather is deteriorating rapidly. We’ll need to move fast and coordinate closely with the local Constabulary.”

“Aye, Captain,” Thorvald’s deep voice resonated with confidence.
The team moved swiftly, each member focusing on their task. In the shuttle bay, the crew suited up in specialized cold-weather gear designed to withstand the extreme conditions of Whistler Prime. Maelstrom

In the equipment bay, the rescue team checked their gear one last time. Spacedawg addressed them, his voice firm and reassuring. “Listen up, everyone. This mission is critical. We need to get to those tourists quickly and safely. Stay sharp, stay together, and follow the plan.”
The team nodded, determination etched on their faces. The shuttles launched smoothly, descending towards the glacier below.
As they approached the landing site, the breathtaking yet harsh beauty of Whistler Prime became even more apparent. Snow-capped mountains towered in the distance, while the icy plains stretched endlessly.
“Remember, this terrain is treacherous,” Spacedawg reminded his crew. “Watch your step and keep an eye on each other.”
The shuttles touched down on the glacier, the team disembarking swiftly. The cold hit them immediately, the wind howling around them. Spacedawg led the way, using a thermal scanner to detect the tourists’ heat signatures.
“We’ve got a signal,” he said, pointing towards a rocky outcrop. “Let’s move.”
The team advanced cautiously, the icy terrain challenging their every step. Suddenly, a roar echoed across the glacier, and a large, furry creature emerged from behind a snowbank.
“Arctic wolf!” Zoe Ramirez shouted, raising her weapon.
“Hold your fire!” Spacedawg ordered. “We’re here to rescue, not to harm.”
Using a tranquilizer, they safely subdued the creature, ensuring it posed no threat.
Reaching the outcrop, they found the tourists huddled together, cold and scared but alive.
“You’re safe now,” Spacedawg reassured them. “Let’s get you back to the ship.”
After securing the tourists in the shuttles, the team returned to the Mandoleer’s Folly, where Chief Constable Blake and her team awaited them. The tourists were handed over to the local authorities, who expressed their deep gratitude.
“Thank you, Captain Spacedawg,” Blake said, shaking his hand. “You and your crew have done a remarkable job.”
“Just doing our duty,” Spacedawg replied with a modest smile. “We’re glad we could help.”
