The army of Kearthian ships zapped into the atmosphere on Smack-Smork. They were visiting every single planet which had an artifact and scouting them thoroughly, hoping to find the gang and take their real maps back and then kill them. Then they would take the artifacts the gang had gathered so far, plus the rest of the artifacts from the rest of the planets.
Tons of mouse-mechs walked into the bunker of the lizards (they had to park their spaceship in the hole because the stairs all got wrecked in the gang’s adventure here previously). Upon seeing them, the lizards freaked out because the legends of the Kearthian pirates had been passed down through the generations of lizards. The lizards then got obliterated by a barrage of heat beams from the guns the mechs had.

As it turned out, the gang was not here. Luckily, not one but TWO artifacts were on Smack-Smork. The pirates just needed to know where to look. And that is exactly where they looked!!
