FIVE planets, three dwarf planets, forty pirate ships, twelve asteroid tanks, seventeen killer whales, one insanely evil salty space pirate and 114,149,830,000 miles later, we've made it to Starbase Octopus!
After a traumatic pit stop in the Kuiper Belt, I'm looking forward to some R&R. There's only one problem: I have NO idea what's on Starbase Octopus or how to get there.
That's why I need your help, Flybrarians! If you're reading this post and it's still 17 June 2011, set a course for Twitter to help me explore! YOU get to tell ME what's on Starbase Octopus and anything goes - ANYTHING. Here's a sample list of areas of interest built by other Flybrarians who are already following me on Twitter:
