Land of the Lustrous

The next morning, the crew is back on the lunar surface, and the captain tells them that they'll be back in a week or so. The captain says that he's not worried about it, because the lunarians will never need him again. He's just worried about the battle freak, who's always trying to do the right thing, even when it's the wrong thing to do. He says he doesn't know how to do it, but he does know that he can change things back and forth, like a snail can. He also says he'd rather the guy be gone for good than have him around constantly pestering him with silly ideas. The Captain says he can't understand why the guy would want to be left alone, since he is the most childish brat in the world. He tells the crew to shut up and leave him alone, because that's what he would do if he were stuck in a room with a bunch of other jerks. He then says that the guy is just a weird snail, repairing and strengthening its shells. The only problem is that the snails are red, like the cliffs on the moon. They're not going to be able to do anything to fix the problem, since they're all covered in goo. They can just live on the bottom of a pond and fill the holes in the shells forever. They don't need to worry about fixing the problem because they can just collect all of the green spots on the snail's shell. They just need to get rid of the red spots.
