History
Meouch has to make an emergency landing on Tropica, Mico’s home planet, after one of his engines starts to fail. The thick forest canopy makes it difficult for any spacecraft to land and his comms are out, so he’s stranded. While the other members of Mico’s village are wary of the ship that fell from the sky, Mico is curious as ever, as they’ve only ever encountered the tech that’s washed up on the shores of their home.

Eventually their curiosity manages to outweigh their fear and they secretly investigate the ship. The parts are familiar to Mico; although they’ve never been arranged in this fashion, they know enough about how each individual piece works to fix up the ship. When Meouch discovers his ship is miraculously working again, he wastes no time taking off – with Mico still inside! After a lot of confusion (and screaming on Mico’s part) Meouch starts to take Mico back down to their village. But Mico asks Meouch about what exactly he was doing before he crashed and learns all about the Brigade – and of course, all the technical work that needs to be done. Mico asks if they can instead go back with Meouch and join the Starlight Brigade, and Meouch agrees.
