Extinction Level Event

Dinosaur Killing Asteroids have periodically dug out chunks of our planet. Look at a map: see Hudson's Bay? Yeah, that was a killer. Meteorite Crater? Tiny one. How's about Veracruz? Biggie. To the east, see how the Antilles form a lazy curve? And another. Doesn't take much and it happens more often that you want to believe.

They meet up with William Peterson who takes them a while, but a former promise cuts his ride short. They stop at a fun restaurant that is still operating and continue on their trip. They meet up with Speck eventually who offers Penny "survival". Eventually, they come home. A little bit of help is given and a favour returned.
