At the Evil Lair, Dr. Disaster tells the Enigmarons they'll never get away with this! The other students are tied up in the room with the DeathRay. Annie watches from the air vent, and wonders how creatures without arms could have built such a device, even though she knows she shouldn't.

[[caption-width-right:350:And now . . . a sci-fi adventure!]]
Annie, Kat and the rest of their classmates are pulled out of geology by the eccentric Dr. Randy Disaster, because "The ''Earth'' is ''in peril!''" It's time for an adventure in the Court's holographic simulator, and the Gunnerkrigg Spacemonauts are on the case!
Annie doesn't see the point of the simulations, because she doesn't see them as having any educational value. Kat tells her to think of it as a drama lesson, and just enjoy it.
Dr. Disaster explains the situation, as the students take off in the rocket:
-->'''''Spacemonauts!''' The evil '''Enigmarons''' are threatening the Earth from their Moon base '''on the Moon!''' They have a '''death ray''' of epic proportions trained on the capital cities of every country '''this very second!'''''
Half of the class, including Annie and Kat, are sent down to the Moon to deal with the death ray. The students are met by the Enigmarons, and battle commences. Annie isn't impressed, because the terrible Enigmarons don't have arms. Kat tells Annie to hurry, as the others are going on ahead. Annie tells Kat she can go on ahead if she wants, as she's sure she'll catch up eventually.
Kat asks Annie why she can't just enjoy herself, and Annie admits she finds it all a little silly. Kat tells her that's exactly the point -- to have fun. Annie concedes the point, and then Kat suddenly vanishes. At this point, Annie's contacted by Dr. Disaster, who informs her that the other students have been captured by the Enigmarons, and it's up to her to rescue them.
