Starcom - Nantucket Sleighride

Nantucket Sleighride,

Emperor Daark releases search and destroy probes to eliminate the research stations which are interfering with his Jupiter studies. Dash's mother, Amanda, and sister, Lianna, are part of the research team. Sighting an incoming missile, Lianna shoots an anchor into an airwhale and the station is off on a Nantucket sleigh ride, socalled from the past when whaleboats harpooned whales and were dragged for miles. The airwhales are mysterious animals which ride the atmospheric currents at terrific speeds and, to the researcher's knowledge, feel no pain. They avoid the missile but are stranded miles away with no communication and little oxygen. The StarCom fighter pilots discover the probes and search for the station. They find the team, but out of fuel, oxygen almost gone, and under attack from more probes, all seems lost. But Captain Yablonsky arrives with a Starmax Cruiser and saves the day.

Slim, Dash, and D.D. (the supply convoy leader) scan for internal transmissions and realize its coming from Crowbar. Using Morse code with Crowbar wearing a blackedout helmet, StarCom is able to stop Malvanna from listening in and her mission to steal the modem fails.

The city buries itself once again, leaving no trace of its whereabouts.
