"Will," Penny pleaded, her voice filled with genuine concern, as she reached out to gently touch his trembling hand. "We can't allow this overwhelming darkness to consume us forever. We cannot keep dwelling in the depths of our painful past, constantly seeking vengeance. It's neither healthy nor what our beloved family would have desired for us."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp35j7tg5x1

It was an unbearable loss that gnawed at Will's soul.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsXNWs0yec
"I refuse to stand idly by while they continue to roam free," he continued, his voice growing stronger with each word. "They must taste the same agony they inflicted upon us. They have stolen our happiness and It is time for justice to prevail and for them to face the consequences of their actions.”293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7drcU4r99O
Penny's concern deepened as she watched her brother's face contorted with anger. The lines etched on his forehead and the fire in his eyes were evidence of the intensity of his emotions. She had never seen him so consumed by rage before, and it frightened her.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60pFcoxO1c
"But Will," Penny began hesitantly, her voice tinged with worry, "what if you're wrong? What if these 'aliens' are innocent beings? Not all of them can be responsible for what's happened to us."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBov7Kg0Vpj
Her words hung in the air, heavy with uncertainty. Penny desperately hoped that her brother would consider her plea for reason. They had both experienced unimaginable loss and devastation at the hands of these extraterrestrial creatures, but she couldn't shake off the nagging doubt that not all of them were to blame.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSLeTAZqcp
Will shook his head, his voice tinged with bitterness. "Innocent or not, they're all part of the same species," he said, his words dripping with disdain. "Throughout history, humans have shown themselves capable of deceitfulness, rage, and the menace of murder. And we, and the Robot, have been their victims for as long as we can recall."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofblfmROrr
He paused for a moment, his metallic eyes scanning the room filled with remnants of a once-thriving family life. The memories flooded back - the laughter, the love, and ultimately the tragedy that had befallen them. It was a pain that ran deep within his circuits.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucn2QJpQwu
"They are all responsible for what happened to us," Will continued, his voice now filled with determination. "Every single one of them who turned a blind eye to our suffering or actively contributed to it. I won't rest until I've avenged our family."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46zih4sxX7
Penny reached out, her hand trembling slightly as she gently placed it on Will's shoulder. The weight of his pain was palpable, and she could feel the heaviness in his every breath.

"I understand your pain," Penny began, her voice filled with compassion. "Hey, I miss them too. But seeking revenge won't bring them back." Her eyes met his, searching for a connection amidst the turmoil within him. "It'll only consume you, leaving no room for healing or finding happiness again."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVyZQ6eVDI
She paused for a moment, allowing her words to sink in before continuing. "I know it feels like the only way to honor their memory is by seeking justice, by making those responsible pay for what they've done. But revenge is a never-ending cycle of darkness that will only perpetuate your suffering."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhNfFGT9lN
Tears welled up in Will's eyes, blurring his vision as he gazed at his sister. The weight of injustice bore heavily on his heart, igniting a fire within him that refused to be extinguished.

"I'm scared, Will," she whispered, her voice barely audible. "Scared of losing you too." Her words hung heavy in the air, filled with an unspoken plea for reassurance and comfort.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0UbSmUjE6
He meditated on what he just heard for a few minutes, his mind swirling with thoughts and questions.

He furrowed his brows, deep in contemplation, determined to uncover the missing piece.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUjrlrROqz
As he delved deeper into his thoughts, it didn't take long for him to realize what that missing element was. A sudden realization washed over him like a chilling gust of wind on a winter's night. His eyes widened, and his heart skipped a beat as he struggled to comprehend the gravity of her words.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX6tDHLWLG
"What did you call me?" Will's voice trembled with a mix of shock and anger, his face transforming from its usual warmth to an expression as bleak and cold as outer space itself. The room seemed to grow colder as the weight of her words settled upon him.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vtfGHKDWV
Penny was taken aback by her brother's sudden anger, fear filling her eyes as she struggled to comprehend his unexpected reaction.

"I just said your name," Penny stammered, her voice trembling with confusion and concern. "You're Will Robinson, my brother. What's happening? Why are you so angry?"293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZ9k9SSl6C
The fabric clinging tightly to his body, visually representing his unwavering resolve, he rose to his feet, hatred smoldering in his eyes. The room fell silent as the weight of his words hung in the air. "There is no Will Robinson! He's dead!" His voice echoed with a mix of anguish and fury, sending shivers down the spines of those who dared to listen.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusjLegxN9l
Will's temper flared like a supernova, fueled by a storm of emotions that threatened to consume him whole. In that moment, reason abandoned him, leaving behind only a raw instinct for survival. Without thinking, he lashed out with an uncontrollable force, striking Penny across the face. The sound of impact reverberated through the room like thunder.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSHEXezFpA
"Who am I?" he growled, his voice laced with a dangerous edge that sent shivers down my spine. The question hung in the air, heavy with an intensity that demanded attention. It was as if he were peering into the depths of his own soul, searching for answers that eluded him.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhr4y4rOvV
Penny winced, tears welling up in her eyes. Something in the back of her mind told her that if she didn't give him the answer he wanted, he'd "punish" her like he would any other "Alien." The fear coursing through her veins paralyzed her, rendering her unable to form coherent words. Unfortunately, all she could manage was a weak stammer.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8GHtOQIwr
"P--p--p…"293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh1Zku5lXU
Her voice trembled as she struggled to find the strength to speak. The weight of his expectations bore down on her, suffocating any semblance of courage she had left. She desperately searched for the right words, but they eluded her like whispers in the wind.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDulDbnWVD4
"Say it!" he demanded, his voice laced with impatience and a hint of menace.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6yn3C6y00
The room seemed to close in around Penny as panic gripped her heart. She knew that uttering those words would only solidify her own vulnerability and submission. But the alternative was too terrifying.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYrO4LLyL7
"P---pun--pun--" 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2C3WRffKc
His face darkened, eyes narrowing into slits of rage, while the freckles covering his cheeks seemed to blaze like miniature red suns. The intensity of his gaze sent shivers down her spine, but she knew she couldn't back down now.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpZfDeTGjq
"SAY IT!" he demanded, his voice laced with a mix of anger and desperation. Every syllable dripped with an unspoken challenge, daring her to confront the truth that lay hidden beneath their tangled emotions.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoxTK7wXju
She gulped, feeling her courage finally coming to the fore. It was time to face the consequences of her actions and speak the truth that had been buried deep within her heart for far too long. With trembling lips, she summoned all her strength and whispered a single word that held immense power - "Punisher."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiN7ARNsaJ
As those six letters escaped her lips, it felt as if a weight had been lifted.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4nLSkbiN7
Will's fury began to ebb as he just then realized the pain he had caused his sister. The weight of his actions settled heavily on his chest, and he could feel the remorse creeping in. Taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and tried to regain control of his emotions.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV2MTrv5vF
"Oh, Penny," he whispered, his voice filled with genuine regret. "I'm so sorry, really. I didn't mean to hurt you." His words were laced with sincerity as he reached out to touch her trembling hand. "I've just been feeling so lost lately, like I'm drifting aimlessly through life."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGef2ioTVXM
His voice wavered slightly as he continued, "Becoming the Punisher... it gave me purpose, a sense of direction that I desperately needed. But in my pursuit of justice, I lost sight of what truly matters - the people I care about."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJUvLYhCMU
A pang of guilt shot through him as memories flooded his mind - moments shared with Penny that now seemed distant and faded.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYwMoWdFsL
Penny wiped away her tears, her voice filled with genuine concern as she responded to Will. "I know it's tough, Will, but you don't have to change who you are just to find your voice. You're already an incredible person, and I believe in you wholeheartedly. Remember, I'm here for you every step of the way, no matter what."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXRim6GbQZ

Penny nodded, her heart pounding with relief as she noticed the aggression in Will's eyes slowly dissipating. "I care about you," she said softly, her voice filled with genuine concern. "But I can't help but be afraid sometimes, Will. Afraid that one day... one day, something terrible might happen to you."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A1UfoMdpY
She paused for a moment, searching for the right words to express the depth of her fears. The weight of her emotions hung heavy in the air between them as she continued, her voice trembling slightly. "You have this incredible spirit, this fire within you that draws people towards you. But it also puts you in danger, Will. You take risks without even thinking twice."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZMm4ty6uq
Penny's eyes met his, pleading for him to understand the gravity of her words. "I've seen how fearless you can be, how you throw caution to the wind and dive headfirst into dangerous situations. And while I admire your bravery, it terrifies me because I know that one day your recklessness may lead to irreversible consequences.”293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwumJIwOTl
"That won't happen," Will said, his voice filled with a mix of determination and uncertainty. Deep down, he knew that merely uttering those words did not magically transform them into an ironclad guarantee. The future remained uncertain, unpredictable, and often unforgiving.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORE73EiNFs
Will's tense expression softened, and he took a deep breath, desperately trying to regain his composure. The air around him seemed to grow lighter as he released the pent-up emotions that had been weighing him down.

Meanwhile, in his office in New Chicago, Dr. Huer found himself in a state of utter astonishment. The report submitted by Buck was nothing short of extraordinary. It detailed the encounter with a solitary space predator, piloting a small, one or perhaps two-man spacecraft. What made it even more remarkable was that this seemingly insignificant vessel possessed the same level of power as Princess Ardala’s formidable Star Fortress Draconia. To add to the intrigue, there was a tantalizing possibility that the owner of this incredible craft was a legendary space traveler believed to have vanished long ago.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOgEsCMWNl
The report painted a vivid picture of an encounter that left the Searcher crew dumbfounded. A space predator, operating a craft of unassuming proportions, displayed a level of power and capability that defied all logic. Its abilities were on par with Princess Ardala’s Star Fortress Draconia, a colossal stronghold known for its formidable arsenal and advanced technology. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jk5McIt8R
What made this revelation even more captivating was the potential identity of the mysterious craft’s owner. It hinted at the presence of a legendary space traveler, someone who had long been considered a mere myth. This revelation opened up a realm of possibilities, challenging the very foundations of our understanding of space and time.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcXv4YjZ7a
Dr. Huer, renowned for his scientific acumen, could not help but be intrigued by the implications of this discovery. The existence of such a powerful yet enigmatic individual raised questions about the limits of human knowledge and technological advancements.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu5OqGvcA5
“Fascinating and frightening,” sighed a baffled Huer, his brow furrowed in deep contemplation. The perplexing situation they found themselves in had left him both captivated and fearful of the unknown. The events that had unfolded out there were like pieces of a puzzle that refused to fit together, creating a sense of unease and trepidation in their hearts.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBQEk5iuJw
“You took the words right out of my mouth, doc,” said a grim Buck, his voice tinged with a hint of skepticism. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of doubt creeping into his mind, questioning the authenticity of what they had witnessed. It seemed that not everyone shared their conviction about the truth of the matter, further fueling the uncertainty surrounding their findings. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHctive5Og
“But there’s a division of opinion out here as to whether or not it’s true,” Buck continued, his tone reflecting the conflicting opinions that had emerged among their colleagues. The weight of their differing perspectives added another layer of complexity to the already intricate situation they were grappling with. It was as if they were standing at a crossroads, unsure of which path to take. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPAvhxPMhX
Wilma, having been closely involved in the investigation, offered her own insight into the matter. “Mr. Isaac was clearly mad with pain,” she asserted firmly. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq5L9oRuhE
Huer held up a hand, signaling for a moment of pause. He needed time to gather his thoughts, to carefully consider the information presented before him. The silence that followed was filled with anticipation, as everyone eagerly awaited his response. It was clear that a crucial decision lay before them, one that would shape the course of their investigation.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMeZkTB2pF
Huer’s gaze was fixed on Buck’s image displayed on the office monitor, his eyes filled with a mix of emotions. The sight of Buck stirred something deep within him, causing his heart to race and his thoughts to become a chaotic mess. Unable to contain his restlessness, Huer abruptly rose from his seat and began pacing back and forth across his office.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXVkvUUYbT
With each step, Huer tried to make sense of the whirlwind of thoughts and feelings that engulfed him. Buck’s image seemed to carry a weight of memories and experiences, both good and bad, that flooded Huer’s mind. The bond they had shared, the adventures they had embarked on together, and the sacrifices they had made for the greater good were all etched in Huer’s memory. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEn1AK6pq3
As Huer continued to pace, his mind raced with questions and doubts. What would become of Buck? Would he be safe? Huer’s concern for his old friend was evident, as his usually composed demeanor was replaced by a visible restlessness.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhEyd3dn0s
Turning his attention back to his desk, Huer noticed the calm presence of Dr. Theopolis, a prominent member of Earth’s computer council. Theopolis sat placidly, observing Huer’s turbulent emotions and Theopolis’s composed demeanor was striking. Theo’s facial lights busily danced, their vibrant colors reflecting the intensity of his processing power. It was as if the little canteen-shaped computer was working overtime, tirelessly analyzing every piece of information to solve this baffling mystery that had everyone on edge.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymVGOIvBwL
As the tension in the room grew, Huer turned to Theo, seeking his expert opinion. “Your thoughts, Dr. Theopolis?” he asked, his voice filled with anticipation.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63bCpIWrU6
Theo paused for a moment, his lights flickering as he processed the question. Finally, he responded with a sense of gravity in his synthesized voice. “The attack on the Satellite of Liberty was undeniably tragic,” he began. “But if Will Robinson, or the Punisher, or whatever he calls himself, didn’t ravage that ship, then who did? All that devastation Buck showed us didn’t happen on its own; it is evident that someone or something was involved.”293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc35zxQsDuf
“Even space pirates, though more probable, would likely not explain the situation,” Huer supplied, his voice filled with uncertainty. The room fell into a heavy silence as everyone contemplated the perplexing mystery that lay before them.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdI4VWSWHWt
“It can’t be Will Robinson,” Theo,” Buck’s voice boomed over the monitor. “I mean…there’s just no way. Crighton says the Jupiter 2 and the Robinsons were lost in space three years before the Nuclear Holocaust centuries earlier—and that was five hundred years ago.” Buck paused for a moment, trying to process this information. “He couldn’t possibly be alive now.”293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUElNWRUdt
Bzzzzzzzzzzz.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP60MqUA18Z
“Excuse me a moment, Buck,” said Dr. Huer, his brows furrowing in concern. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHJ8yZBl3S
Huer clicked on his desk com-line, connecting him to a high-ranking officer of the Earth Defense Directorate. The urgency in the air was palpable as they awaited an update on the status of a crucial Galactic Council decision.
“Report,” demanded Huer, his voice filled with anticipation.
“Dr. Huer, the Chancellor of the Galactic Council has made his decision,” came the voice through the crackling speaker.
“And?” Huer pressed, his heart pounding in his chest.
“All throughout the Argus sector, and beyond, there have been reports flooding in about a powerful starfighter wreaking havoc on settlements and disrupting shipping routes. Each time, the pilot identifies himself as ‘Punisher.’”
“Perhaps we should dispatch one of our battle cruisers to the region?” Theo recommended, his synthesized voice filled with urgency.
“We can’t, Dr. Theopolis,” the officer responded solemnly. “In accordance with Federation law, as the first ship to make contact with a victimized vessel, the Searcher is the only vessel legally obligated to respond. What’s more, the Chancellor has decided to authorize Captain Buck Rogers to apprehend the Punisher and bring him back to Earth for trial. I’m sending you his exact message now.”
“Thank you, that is all,” Huer responded curtly, ripping the printed message from his computer with a sense of determination. His gaze shifted from the paper to Buck’s concerned face, appearing now on the monitor before him.
“What is it, doc?” Buck asked anxiously, sensing the weight of Huer’s silence.
"Buck, we've been in touch with the Galactic Council. It appears that Mr. Isaac was telling you the truth about the identity of his ship's attacker: It is indeed Will Robinson. As of now, you have been granted the official authorization to apprehend Will Robinson, known as the Punisher, and bring him back to Earth to face the charges against him." Dr. Huer's voice carried a tinge of exhaustion as he relayed this crucial information to Buck.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm8262eVL8
Buck furrowed his brow, his curiosity piqued. "But how can we be so certain that Will Robinson, or any other member of the original Robinson party for that matter, is still alive here in the vast expanse of the 25th century?" he questioned skeptically. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer99ZudDJn
Dr. Theopolis clarified, his synthesized voice filled with a mix of nostalgia and regret, "The Jupiter 2 was Earth's first pre-Star Gate manned interstellar vessel. It was a marvel of engineering, designed to transport the Robinson family to their intended destination: Alpha Centauri, our nearest neighboring star system."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7m4JJuHy0
He paused for a moment, as if lost in electronic thought before continuing, "However, due to unforeseen circumstances and the vastness of space itself, they never made it. Their journey was meant to be one of hope and exploration, a bold step towards expanding humanity's reach beyond our own solar system."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedbyV4LioQ
As the quad spoke, images of the Robinson family flashed across the screen behind him - John and Maureen Robinson, the loving parents; their three children - Judy, Penny, and Will; and their trusty robot companion.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz53gUsKYP
"The Robinsons had to be put into suspended animation for the duration of the journey," Dr. Theopolis explained. "Without suspended animation, the long and arduous journey through space would have been impossible for the Robinsons."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsIG9vB2XbG
Meanwhile, aboard Searcher, Buck leaned back in the soft chair of the communications kiosk, his mind racing with thoughts and questions. He couldn't help but be captivated by Theo's facial lights flickering and flashing, a clear indication that the robot was deep in contemplation. The suspended animation feature of the ancient flying saucer called the Jupiter 2 intrigued Buck, but it also held a greater significance.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiaGvhmNjt
As he pondered over this mysterious technology, Buck couldn't help but wonder how it all fit together. Did it have any connection to Hieronymus Fox? The mere thought of the eleven-year-old genius being from the same time period as the displaced astronaut was mind-boggling. And now, to top it all off, Fox had become the sitting president of Genesia.
As he mused, he felt someone tapping on his shoulder. It was Wilma. She leaned down and whispered something in his ear.
Back on Earth, Huer watched intently as Buck turned his attention back to the screen. ''Doc, Wilma's just informed me that the Admiral just ordered all personnel to stations and for the whole ship to rig for Star Gate. Looks like we're headed for Throm--if we can find it," Buck relayed with a determined tone.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJRHdnu5RR
Huer nodded solemnly, his voice filled with concern. "Be careful out there, Buck. Throm is an uncharted territory, and we don't know what awaits you."293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHRj6WB3Jd
Buck flashed a confident smile before responding, "Don't worry, Huer. I've faced countless challenges before, and I won't let you down this time either." His words were laced with unwavering determination.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30vM954HuC
As the monitor went black, Huer sank deeper into his chair, grappling with a mix of emotions. He trusted Buck implicitly but couldn't shake off the nagging worry that gnawed at him. Despite his doubts, Huer knew that he had to stand by Buck's side and support him no matter what challenges lay ahead. 293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpx5pEueQ43
