I need your help. I really, really can’t decide if Prodo-1‘s countdown belongs at the end of this song. It’s supposed to parallel one of the final chapters of The Lives of Dexter Peterson where the Gale Odyssey is about to essplode, but I don’t think it works without that context. This song is actually kind of sweet and the countdown just seems misplaced.

What do you think?

Christmas is a time to get closer to the ones we love: friends, family, robots, and space sharks. For the spacefaring Captain Ebel, this Christmas is like any other day- struggling to keep his stomach and spaceship full of fuel. That is, until a 200-foot-long space shark named Mr. Bruce hires his crew to ship some goods from a distant planet. Everything seems to be going well until Captain Ebel discovers what’s inside the crates.
