Quinquennial, Part 8 Released!

Guess what? It's time for another Quinquennial part! Since we've been mashing the fast-forward button like crazy, I figured it was darn time that we actually slowed down a little bit and see what happened immediately after Jercy's raid on Earth: the destruction of the Dweeble colony on Rantross, and the subsequent war that destroyed the Dweeble and Morlox Empires.

Also, remembered how I said I was done with multi-part events? Well, that was a bit of a lie. This one will have three parts, but after that the series will almost certainly go back to the format we've had so far.

Dweeble colony and Leroy* (not Holly) Jenkins the giant Dweeble
scientist.

massacre.


Yes, it's Clark and Stanley! Because no Dweeble-related adventure
would be complete without the doomed Dweeble dunces.

showing it under siege from giant green arrows.
*You remember that Dweebles can resurrect themselves sometime after they die, right?

Commentary: This multi-part flashback shows us the beginning of the end for the Dweeble race. In part 14A of STNL², I explained the absence of the Dweebles by stating they got involved in a temporal war with the Morloxes, and were almost completely erased from history at its end (a bit like the Time War from Doctor Who). When I came up with this part, I realized how odd it was that the Dweebles never looked into things more and went after the Kleekoonanonis. But then I remembered Clark and Stanley, whose stupidity has been known to cause chaos and destroy planets (a bit like Donald Trump). Then I realized I had the perfect explanation for the Dweebles' lack of further investigation.
One concept I did have that I decided not to implement was that C&S would insist the Morloxes were responsible for the destruction of the Rantross Colony even as everyone else discussed the Kleekoonanonis, and finally the Dweebles would decide blame the Morloxes just to shut Clark and Stanley up. (That doesn't mean that event won't happen; it just means it doesn't happen in this part).
