The dream I had last night was the fantasy sequence part of the story. It went a little something like this:

[We see Thomas in a blue space suit and a giant helmet on his smoke box with his funnel sticking out of the top of it. We then see his spaceship, a blue space pod with the number 1 painted on the side. A single nitro flame flows out of the engine at the back. Thomas smiles]

Thomas: P.E.R.C.Y., come in. Commander Thomas calling P.E.R.C.Y.

[Percy appears as a holographic on board computer assistant]

P.E.R.C.Y.: P.E.R.C.Y. here. Go ahead, Commander.

Thomas: I can see the unexplored planet dead ahead, can you check to see if I'm clear to land?

[Percy checks and the area is revealed to be all clear]

Percy: Nothing's in the way. You are cleared for landing, Commander Thomas.

Thomas: Thanks, P.E.R.C.Y. I can always count on my computerized best friend.

[Just then an alarm goes off]

Percy: [gasps] Commander Thomas, you're right in the middle of a meteor shower!

[Thomas sees meteors falling past the window]

Thomas: I can see that. Hold on, I'm taking evasive action!

[Thomas speeds the ship up and weaves in and out of the rapid falling meteors]

Thomas: Whoa!

[Eventually, Thomas makes it out by dodging the last falling meteor]

Thomas: Phew! That was close!

Percy: You can say that again.

[Outside, a final meteor hits the engine at the back, damaging it. Inside, Thomas hears it. He's thrown forward and hits the control panel with his buffers. Thomas looks frightened]

Thomas: Dah! Oh no! P.E.R.C.Y., what happened?!

Percy: You've been hit! A meteor struck the engine, causing critical damage to it!

Thomas: [gasps] That means I'm going to crash! [activates the radio] Mayday! Mayday! Mission Control, this is Commander Thomas! Are you receiving me?! Over!

[James appears on a screen on the control panel in front of Thomas]

James: What's wrong, Commander Thomas?

Thomas: I've been hit by a meteorite! The engine's taken critical damage! I have to make an emergency landing!

James: Good plan! Just be careful!

[Thomas manages to pull up and land the ship safely]

Thomas: [sighs with relief] Phew!

Percy: Now that's what I would call too close for comfort.

James: Good job, Thomas! You have permission to begin exploration!

Thomas: Roger that, Mission Control! Over and out.
