Journey to Juno

Chapter 1 Play Ball! Zack Nelson and his friend Drake Taylor sat in the home stadium of the Creston City Comets. A bright orange field spread out below them. "Okay, Drake," Zack said. "I know I'm still the new kid on Nebulon. And I've never seen a galactic blast game before, but I have one question: Where are the players?" Drake smiled and pointed to both sides of the field. Zack looked down and saw two teams of robots. Suddenly a whistle blew, and all the robots scrambled out onto the field. "So people don't play galactic blast? Robots do?" Zack asked. "The robots pitch and hit and run and field," explained Drake. "But people operate the robots using remote control units."
