Summary
Tossed in Space - Part Three: Evo-solution

Being able to understand the alien's language, Captain Oe introduces himself and his crew. Sonic introduces himself and and tells him that the implant works. Captain Oe tells Sonic that their destination is Mezzo Jillion, where Sonic's chances of finding a way home will be increased. One of Captain Oe's men, Helmsman Lu reports that a nearby tri-star (Cemerant-16) has just exploded, leaving debris in the vessel's way. Magesteron gets hit with a lot of debris, and Captain Oe analysis is that they have enough time to evacuate before the vessel is no more.
Soon, Sonic and Captain Oe are the only ones left when there's only one escape pod left. Sonic offers the captain the pod, but Captain Oe uses his tail to paralyze Sonic and puts him in the escape pod. Captain Oe says his goodbyes and Sonic watches as Magesteron explodes. Sonic inside the pod is recovering from the paralysis and lands on a mysterious planet. Sonic unable to breath on the surface relaxes while eating rations.
