They show up at NASAL as usual.
As soon as they arrive, the boss calls them into his office.
Boss
“Go test the new observatory in the desert.”
They get in the car. Papaia drives, Banani reads the map upside down, and Ravioli eats some extremely smelly cheese-flavored crackers.
Igor takes the opportunity to fill a few more pages of his notebook, as usual.
Of course, they never make it to the observatory.
Instead, they get lost and run out of gas.
They start wandering through the desert on foot.
Banani finally turns the map the right way around.
After hours of walking, they are almost dying of thirst.
Igor writes his will in his notebook.
Ravioli and Banani can barely speak.
Ravioli
“We’re going to die out here…”
Banani
“Check the backpack again.”
Ravioli searches through it again and finds a rotten meatball wrapped in a paper napkin.
Ravioli
“We have this…”
Banani
“Put it away immediately!”
Papaia sees a mirage.
Papaia
“Look… an oasis!”
Papaia runs toward nothing.
He collapses after a few meters.
The others lose consciousness too.
Papaia opens his eyes again.
Rescuers are standing in front of him.
They load them onto a helicopter.
As they fly toward the hospital, Papaia looks inside the laptop bag.
Then he slaps his forehead.
The others look at him.
Banani
“What did you do?”
Papaia pulls out a water bottle.
It is full of water.
