Chapter #1: The Unlikely Agent
At the quiet location of Asteroid Reef, Deb, a local shark wrangler with a side job in dental hygiene, tests her luck fishing in a mysteriously secluded part of the reef. Her lure sends tiny waves scattering, disrupting the calmness of the water. A sudden tug on her line excites her but also alerts the attention of covert special agents, Johnson and Smith. Mistaking Deb for their clandestine contact, they approach her, unwittingly revealing details about a galactic menace - a destructive alien fish causing chaos on the planet islands formed from an ancient asteroid collision. They entrust Deb with the task of preserving the planets, unintentionally recruiting her as a secret agent. Overwhelmed yet resolute, Deb agrees to take up the challenge.
Chapter #2: The Induction
Go to UGA HQ.
On arriving at the UGA HQ, they ask, “Have you completed the 'Interstellar Navigation' course during your studies at Santa Francesca University?”
- Waste of Time! Firmly assert that you've already completed the course and a refresher isn't necessary.
- Take Refresher! Politely suggest that a refresher might be a good idea. Add, “I mean, you wouldn't want to accidentally make Jelly a jam, would you?”
- Wrong Deb! Deadpan, declare, “I think there's an interstellar identity mix-up. I'm actually an aspiring Shark Wrangler, not this Dr. Deb you speak of.”

Journal entry:
Armed with her Cosmic Caster pole and Blubber Burner boat, Deb learns the rules of her cosmic mission from Jelly. “Your Jump Number rises each time you select a new planet to visit. But here's the catch: Once you've jumped to a planet, you're there until you reel in its Planet Boss Fish, the toughest fish around.” Jelly adds, “Remember, it's more than just fishing, Deb. It's about choosing your path wisely. A fish that's easy to hook on your first planet might be quite the fighter on a later one.” He then unveils the gravity of their expedition, “Our mission is more than fishing, Deb. Our task is to bring balance back to the Asteroid Belt. The Sun Boss Fish, once the radiant ruler of these regions, has fallen into a dark mood, causing a cosmic cold snap across Roperia. Life on our beloved home planet has been thrown into turmoil - the warmth we took for granted has become a luxury, and if we don't act, it'll become a memory.” Jelly's revelation brings clarity and purpose to their endeavor. It was not merely about casting the line, but about casting it in the correct sequence, restoring the warmth to their home and saving the galaxy from a cold, bleak future. “Alright, Jelly. Let's bring back the heat!” With a newfound determination, Deb sets her sights on her inaugural destination and prepares for her epic journey.
Chapter #4: Jump Number Journey
Whenever you jump to a new area, you will unlock the storyline there so the order of the jumps will vary. These are ones reported by wranglers so far:
Jump #X: PlanetVenus - The Sultry Paradise
Upon arrival at PlanetVenus, the heat intensifies. The PlanetVenus Fish, nicknamed the “Hot Stuff,” welcomes her with a challenging stare. Deb couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight of the UFO Turtle, serving as the universe’s cosmic Wi-Fi hotspot. The Spacecholoship, with its unmistakable swagger, keeps the atmosphere lively. The Acid Rain Eel, sheltering under a tiny umbrella, almost makes her forget the danger lurking with the Shrimplien Gamer. She adjusts her hat, a grin of determination on her face. Let the games begin!
Upon touchdown at PlanetVenus, Deb encounters the Planet Venus Boss Fish. It reminds her of her rigorous hot yoga sessions, which always left her breathless and drenched in sweat. With a spirited nod to her favorite spicy food, Deb faces the heat and triumphs in capturing the fish.
Jump #X: PlanetNeptune - The Final Lap?
PlanetNeptune, the last stop in the solar system, or is it? The PlanetNeptune Fish, with its deep blue glow and icy demeanor, gives her a chilly welcome. She spots the curious Froglien Foot Fish, wearing his top hat and monocle, adding a dash of absurdity to the planet's icy environment. The other fish, including the Rocking Horse Fish and the Petalien Fish, bring a fitting blend of the bizarre and whimsical to this last frontier. As she readies her fishing gear, she wonders, “Is this the final lap or the beginning of a new journey?”
With a triumphant grin, Deb reels in the Planet Neptune Boss Fish, a jester known for causing storms with its laughter. She'd been almost swept away by a turbulent current, but Jelly's clever Trident Anchor kept her grounded. The jester fish, lost in its own humor, was an easier catch than expected. “Guess the joke's on you now!” she laughs, holding up her latest cosmic catch with pride.
Jump #X: PlanetUranus - The Cosmic Comedy
Arriving on PlanetUranus, Deb's first sight is the Uranus Fish strumming a toilet paper guitar, an oddball indeed. Seeing the Jelly Controllien orchestrating chaos and the quirky Space Junk fish floating aimlessly, she can't suppress her laughter. As the Mr. Ugliest Universe comes into view, Deb raises her hat in silent salute to the fish's embrace of uniqueness. She smiles, “Time for some cosmic comedy, Uranus style!”
