Survival Training
Plot Synopsis
Skip, Robin, and Red are sent down to the planet Frikin'Cold to complete survival training.
Plot Summary
When Captain Smith discovers that Skip and Robin have not completed their survival training he decides to send them down to the planet Frikin'Cold to finish up their training. Though it takes the Captain a little while to explain to Marty exactly who he's talking about they soon send Robin and Skip down to the planet with meager supplies and Ensign Shirt is sent along as he could always use more help with survival.
On the planet Robin and Skip mostly use Red as a pack mule to carry all of their supplies. As they search the planet for a beacon they begin to realize how difficult it is to survive on such a planet. They eventually decide to make camp for the night, regardless of Robin's fear of the dark, and inside the shelter Skip begins to tell a story that quickly takes Robin's mind off of his fear of the dark and gives him other things to worry about.
In the morning, once realizing that it had not all just been a dream they set out again. In their travels they encounter a lost Probe Droid who had been bound for the Hoth System and had gotten turned around, luckily Red was fluent enough in the droid language to set the Probe Droid straight and send him on his way.
It was then that they encountered the yeti and in a strange bout of luck Red remained not only uninjured after the harrowing attack but also managed to slide down a very large slope without any bodily harm.
Red's slide down the slope serendipitously put them in the correct position to find the beacon. Though they feared that Red's luck would catch up with them after some hesitation they activated the beacon only to have Robin, instead of Red, electrocuted.
With the beacon active their training was over and they were beamed back aboard the ship.
