Hmm.

Ulav, are you sure it's here? 'That's what my sensors say.'

There!

Fan out.

OK, I'll hold him with my force-field charm,

then you fire away.

Hey, lady! Over here!

Activate force-field charm!

Three, two, one - leaf blowers!

Yeah.

ALIEN GRUNTS

Now!

All right. Back to space with you. Hyah!

Nice! All right!

Yeah! THEY LAUGH

And back to home for me.

Ugh. I'm so late. Catch you later.

Has no-one heard of hinge oil around here?

Zoe. Living room now, please.

Oh, don't give me those peepers. It won't work, kid.

Where have you been?

Oh, uh, see, Mom...

Hey, is that the bathtub running? Better go check.

Stop. There's no bathtub upstairs.

Did I say bathtub? I meant I'm going to apply for college scholarships.

You're in middle school.

Never too early, Mom. OK, great talk...

Oh, my, so sleepy. G'night!

Zoe, where have you been?

I'll tell you where, my beautiful, loving, wonderful, youthful mother.

Also great at cooking, uh, car driving...

Are you gonna come clean or not?

N-n-not?

SHE SIGHS Then this is how it's going to be...

No school trip this Friday?!

Yeah, she won't let me go on it.

AND I have to work extra hours at the flower shop.

I can't believe that.

I tried to argue, but when she makes up her mind, she is unbeatable.

Bags all packed, guys. Area 51, here we come!

You mean THE Area 51?

That secret military base where the government keeps collecting

what they think is real evidence of aliens?

Yep, which makes it the biggest tourist destination

for alien lovers from around the world.

It's like a whole village of Mr Roswells.

Ha-ha, yes, it's hilarious. I can't wait.

Ugh. Everyone gets to go somewhere but me.

Wanna help us with this video game we're making? Vandar the Invincible!

What's it about?

You're an awesome, huge robot called Vandar,

and you have to fight off all kinds of incoming space stuff.

You gotta be crazy fast.

Which would be much easier if our computer wasn't crazy slow.

Hey, Ulav, can we use your super-speed satellite computer

while you're away?

Oh, yeah. Please? That thing is fast as lightning.

13.8 times faster than lightning. But I'm not sure it's a good idea.

She's... a bit different from an Earth computer.

Nothing our Quigs can't handle.

Right, Q? Absolutely!

Fine. But keep an eye on the satellite signal.

It's coming from the asteroid belt past Mars,

and there's been weird storms there lately.

Hasta luego.

Thank, Ulav. Good vacay!

OK, this thing has some sick functionality.

But the face design is kinda meh.

It needs the face of someone who's, you know, invincible.

Or... unbeatable! Like Zoe called her mom, remember?

Oh, we're totally upgrading the face to look like Mrs Stranek!

But how do we get her image?

This is an IA cloud computer. We can search anyone in the galaxy.

Sandra Stranek.

And search.

Bingo! Hello, Sandra.

Vandar is about to become SANdar! Ha-ha-ha.

Next, we need to turn these 3D images into a model of Sandar.

This button sounds like it'll do the trick. "Maximum identity".

Now, how do we put Sandar on our Vandar?

Ah. This button should make it transform.

Transforming...

Uh...

Ah! Ah!

SHE GASPS What the...?

'Transforming.'

We've got a Sandar.

Wow, Ulav's cloud computer is intense, but it worked.

Sweet! It even upgraded our video game's control panel - look!

"Televorken 328-B?" What's that?

IDK, some crazy alien name that Ulav gave his cloud computer.

'Two-way link established.'

Two-way link? Link to what? Eh, one way to find out.

And we're connected.

What the...? Ah!

Appears we're linked to one heck of a video game!

And here come the asteroids! Chop 'em into space salad, Sandar!

Yah!

Hyah!

What's going on? What's moving my arms?

Ah!

Zap.

SHE SNORES

Why'd you stop?

So I could download everything to my phone,

and we could really test it. How?

We need a gamer with mad skills

who will work every corner of this thing.

And I know just who.

Hey, Hugh.

Hey. So, we made a new game. Can you, like, test it out for us?

You had me at "new game". Gimme, gimme!

Heh-heh. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. HUGH CHUCKLES

Hmm. Hmm.

'My boss needs peonies for his mom.

'No, wait, not peonies. Petunias?

'Pansies. I know it starts with a P.

'You know, I'll come over, and you just show me all your P flowers.'

BEEPING

I'm sorry, Mr Winnichuck, we're closed for, uh, snow day.

Better call Ulav.

Hey!

Uh, hello!

Hey. Good afternoon.

BEEPING

Ow, grapnits.

That's not how real aliens talk at all.

What do you mean, "The satellite's not responding?"

'Seems like it's down or broken.'

We can't be without that satellite, or Earth is open to attack.

We can only fix it locally.

Locally? You mean...?

Yup. We need to physically go TO the satellite.

I'll be there in a flash to pick you up.

CAT TRILLS

We better find this satellite and fix it quick.

If Mom finds out I closed the shop, she'll...

There it is!

I think?

I know I must be asleep right now, but this dream is wack-a-doodle!

What the heck? That's your satellite?

Huh. It must be the morphing mechanism on the Televorken 328-B.

It can morph to camouflage itself as all kinds of things -

space vehicles, asteroids,

in case it ever needs to hide from enemies.

Like that Vandar character in Quigley and Rock's video game.

Wait. Could it be?

They must've been playing their game on my computer when the storm hit.

That's what caused the transformation glitch.

We have to reset it.

How? With this.

One quick zap, and it reboots the whole system.

Everything will go back to normal.

Ready. Here, you aim. Easy-peasy.

What's firing at me? Oh, this just got more interesting.

I don't remember designing that.

Mom?!

That's weird. Just zap again.

Are you crazy? I can't zap my mom!

It's not your mum, it's the Televorken 328-B.

But why does it look like her? And where's my actual mom?

Ah! Ah! Ahhh!

A spaceship now? Can't I dream of a movie star like a normal mom?

Let's see, might need some shields. Maybe this icon?

Shields? We didn't program...

What in the...? We can't reboot it with the shields up.

I'm sorry, but how would you feel shooting a high-powered space beam

at your mom?

Ask my brother. Though he swears it was an accident.

Well, I guess we need a plan B.

'Hold onto my rear bumper tight.

'I'll do a fast fly-by behind its head.

'Let go and grab the handle of the panel behind its head

'and flip the blue switches.'

Copy that.

Ah! Not loving Plan B so far!

Ah! 'Let go now!'

Ah!

Oh, sugar!

Ah!

Zoe?

What is going on here? Where are all these new graphics coming from?

Oh, ah! It's after me!

I'll stop you, you little pest!

SHE SHOUTS

What does this do?

Whoa.

Where'd the lasers come from?

I'm starting to wonder what these Televorken controls really control.

Uh-oh. Asteroids!

This dream just gets realer and realer!

Whee! Pew, pew!

Agh! Not cool. Ulav! 'Get in!'

I'm calling the team, this is nuts!

Zoe? How's the flower shop?

Closed. Guys, did you possibly paste my mom's face

on your game character?

Wait, um, how do you know that? I'm looking right at her!

Uh, but you're not in the cafe. How can you see our game?

Not in your game, in real life!

What? What?

Guys, how exactly did you paste Sandra on your character?

Your satellite computer found her picture,

then we hit "maximum identity".

My computer doesn't find pictures, guys. It finds people.

THEY GASP 'Don't you see?'

You told it to link Zoe's actual mum to your character.

'Then the storm turned them all into a giant space robot!'

Which is trying to destroy us right now!

I'll get you, you dumb ship. You can't hide from these moves.

OM gumdrops! That little ship is you guys?

We've got to stop Hugh from playing!

Hugh is playing? Get that game away from him now!

Then we'll get close to the robot and reset everything.

We're on it!

I hope my actual mom is OK.

Ah! Ahh!

Huh?

SHE BABBLES

Give it back!

We've got something more important we have to do, like, uh...

Shuffle dancing!

What? No, I'm testing your game.

You're not gonna shuffle dance on shuffle-dancing night?

It's daytime.

It's shuffle-dancing night... day.

Come on, Hugh. No not-dancing on dancing-night day!

I'd rather obliterate this little ship.

Uh...

Ugh. What in the...? Oops

Ah! Phew. Ah! Phew.

I missed the shot!

Oh, I'm so sorry. Here, let me get the controller for you.

Oops. Again? I am such a klutz

Hey, let me get it. Oh, man, this floor is so slippery. Oops

What is with you guys?

What are they doing down there?

Agh! Whatever's happening, they haven't stopped Hugh.

How are we gonna get in and reset those levers

without getting blasted?

I got it! We hide!

Great. Wait, what? No. We have to fix this!

But it'll keep after us - we're too easy to spot.

We're like a nectarine in a sock drawer.

You know, because nectarines are orange,

and socks are, like, grey or argyle or...

Never mind. OK, fine. Let's hide. It'll give us time to regroup.

And I know just the place.

Get back here, little ship!

Hugh, unlock the bathroom door!

Not until you guys stop acting weird or until I finish this game.

Now what?

Follow me and hope we get lucky.

Huh?

Ah. Oh, yeah.

Whoo-eee! This is fun!

CHILD WHINES FEARFULLY

What is this place?

Aliens illegally dump their old junk ships here. And...

...now we look like one of them. Voila!

Just another sock in the sock drawer.

Instead of a... Nectarine, yeah, I get it.

Shh! Here comes Mom.

Zoom. Ha!

Oh, my.

Yeah.

Uh, maybe she's a bit... Confused?

Excuse me.

SHE GRUNTS

Where are you, little ship?

THEY GASP

He sees us!

Aaaand goodbye!

Hey! Hey! Ah!

Phew. Phew.

You guys made me miss - again!

Sorry, but we really had to go to the bathroom.

Together? Look, I don't know what's going on here,

but I'm not losing this game.

Hey, uh, here's another game, Hugh. Monkey in the middle!

Hey! Quigley, go long!

Hey. I'm testing YOUR game! What is wrong with you people?

We just realised physical sports are healthier. Can't catch it!

Agh!

SANDRA GRUNTS

SANDRA EXCLAIMS, SNORES

Are you all right, miss?

THEY EXHALE HEAVILY

Oh, no! That wreck is gonna blow!

Ah! Ah!

We're stuck. No-one can save us now.

Wait. Maybe someone can.

My mom's still connected to that satellite, right?

Yes. Why?

It's time she and I had an honest chat.

Can you patch me in?

Yes! The Televorken 398-B controls aren't being shared any more.

Connected!

Miss?

'Mom? Are you there?'

THEY EXCLAIM Zoe? Is that you?

The name's Angus McCormack, actually...

'Where are you, Zoe? Hello?'

This just gets weirder and weirder. Ah!

She said it.

Follow my voice, Mom. I need your help. The asteroid's gonna explode!

Mom, please hurry!

Whoa! Ah!

Huh? Oh!

My mom, she saved us.

Oh, mwah, mwah, mwah. I love you, honey.

Glad you like it, heh-heh. It's on the house. Bye.

Mwah!

Aw. She's only ever wanted to protect me.

She's your mother. You're just realising this?

Now, let's get this satellite back to normal.

All right. Ha-ha.

Oh. Ah? What? Huh?

No wonder that dream felt so real. I was sleepwalking!

Someone needs to relax more. Ha-ha.

Huh. Dreams can give you a whole new perspective, right?

Hah, never mind.

SING-SONG: La, la, la.

Mom! Where have you...?

Zoe, there you are! I have to tell you about this strange dream I had.

Dream?

It felt so real. I was this robot creature in outer space

attacking a tiny, defenceless astronaut... you.

Heh-heh. Classic dream, all right

Only, it wasn't a dream.

Uh, what do you mean?

I figured out what it really was.

OK, Mom, look...

It was a message from inside my brain

telling me I'm too hard on you.

Get it? I can be a monster sometimes.

Say what? It's true, honey, and I'm sorry.

You can still go to that school trip Friday, OK?

Um, OK. Thanks, Mom.

But... you know what I think your dream really was?

A message to me that you're only hard on me

because you care enough to keep me protected.

Huh.

I'll help with dinner after I load the washer.

Aw. SHE CHUCKLES

Hey, Dad.

Phew. Some days, I really get how hard it must have always been

for you to keep mission secrets, especially from Mom.

But, hey, if you could do it, I can do it.

And no matter what secrets we're keeping,

it's no secret how much she loves us.

Good night, Dad.
