Oh &%$@! Either the advance warning satellites are %&$#!@ again or there’s a giant %©#&$ space octopus heading straight for earth! Congressional budget cuts have reduced NASA to launching model rockets in the park but never fear, the private sector is here! For six easy payments of just $199,999,999,999.99, Astr-O-Corp has volunteered to send their prototype low orbit fighter to intercept Galactopus™. Since it’s still in the prototype phase, the laser cannons aren’t powerful enough to destroy Galactopus™, but they can chip away his Octonuim armor. Collect eight pieces of Octonium and add them to the ship’s reactors and the cannon will be powerful enough to finish Galactopus™ off once and for all!
