Smolder
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSmolder was assigned to map out a fiery planet called "Hotbeat". Even though she was used to extremely high temperatures, this was something else. Spike said she would need to wear a heat-resistant suit and raise her ship's heat shields to avoid burning up. When she entered the atmosphere, her external thermometers registered temperatures in the thousands. She knew that heat like this would cook her alive, so she did not hesitate to keep her heat shield up. After finding a safe place to land, she on the helmet to her heat suit, she began to chart the planet. Everywhere she looked, she saw rivers and lakes of lava. Since the temperatures were so high, Smolder suspected that nothing could possibly live safely on Hotbeat.
Even with her heat suit on, Smolder still broke out in sweat from how hot the planet was. Luckily, she knew to swap out the coolant for her suit with liquid nitrogen. This prevented the suit from melting or getting burned. She had to escape from three volcanic eruptions while she was mapping, but she was fast and managed to get away.
