fuel-gear The galactic garbage collector
銀河垃圾清理員
Gus, the best garbage collector in the Galaxy, put on his space gear and set out to clean up another galactic mess.
古斯是銀河系中最優秀 的垃圾清理員, 他穿上宇航服, 開始清 掃另外一堆銀河垃圾。
He hated all of these star wars, but it paid his bills. Arriving at the part of space where the most recent battle had occurred,
他痛恨一切星球大戰, 但他是靠它過日子的。 古斯來到最近一次戰斗 的戰場,
Gus put on his helmet to protect himself from fumes, fussed over the controls of his equipment,

and then decided to fly around to gauge the extent of the mess. It was always a gamble cleaning up the wreckage of spaceships.
然后決定飛到周圍, 估計有多少垃圾。 清除宇宙飛船的殘骸 永遠是一種冒險--
You never knew what was going to blow up next, but Gus made sure he was funded adequately

Several pieces could be gathered to sell and a few placed in his galactic gallery.

the aliens had a totally different body shape. But Gus could furnish each ship with leftovers from other ships.
因為外星人的體形完 全不一樣, 但古斯可以用別的飛船 上的遺留物裝備每條飛 船。
He'd fulfill his quota today and more. Gus was furious, however, to discover that there was no fuel for him to gather.
