The Afronauts chapter 17

Chapter 17:

Launching out of the star-ship Exodus is the 20ft tall, Afronaut made robot called the 'Afrobot'. Piloted by the brave Captain Moses as it streaks through the stars, in order to rescue some of his crew trapped on an asteroid. As the Afrobot lands on the asteroid , the alien threat called the Wyte leaves behind the battered Afronauts and storms the incoming automaton.

While the Wyte is distracted by the Afrobot, Commander Lox and Lilian rush the very ill Rafiki back to their cruiser to return him to the Exodus for medical treatment. With his crew safely off the asteroid, Captain Moses can now let loose taking out his solar canon and firing on the Wyte. Back at the star-ship Exodus Doctor Bushe' says- "I no why the other Afronauts were not affected by this virus, because of their high melanin level which acted as a shield stopping the virus from invading their bodies!"
