- The Plan -

The scorpion people have more advanced brain shields which work discreetly by being...snorted. Oh yeah I forgot to mention.....they learned English from BBC broadcasts.

Anyway they stuff a bunch of these tiny brain shields into Jerry's purple(?) jock strap and sell him to a slave trader. He gets into the mine and is immediately knocked over the head by Chuck, who has been reduced to stereotypical caveman status after the extensive mind control.

Also the stuff they're mining is "a drug one sniff of which will render the sniffer an addict for life". But it only affects you if you have chitin. And if you do have chitin, it kills you after a while.

Soooo...Jerry knocks a bunch of slaves out and holds their mouths/noses shut until right before they pass out, then lets their nose open a little and holds one of the snortable mind shields up to them so that it's inhaled. Eventually they have enough numbers to organize.

Somehow, and this is never explained, Jerry uses an "incredibly tiny, yet exceedingly powerful subetheric radio" which was embedded into one of his teeth, to signal out to the ship to start the attack.

They break free (the cheddite projector blasts everything out of their way) and then Jerry's like "wait, shit, where is Chuck?" and the people on the ship are like "there's no time!" but Jerry runs back in and gets Chuck and when they make it outside again the people decided not to wait around.

So we're stuck. Also, this planet is called Haggis.
