BrickVoid: Looks like they found a planet that broke the fourth wall of this comic and landed in a LEGO diorama containing a Krusty's Burger joint in someone's backyard. Looking good so far!

Transcript
Panel 1:
Narrative Text: A few moments later...
Commander Dale Zurkett: Everyone okay back there?
Special Envoy Lorraine Hulyard: Is this how you handle all your everday tasks, Zurkett? By crashing into them?
Dale: Glad to hear it.
Unknown Transmission: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Panel 2:
Lieutenant Commander Natashia Staratt: Shuttle systems are down... we must have taken some damage in the crash.
Hulyard: Bannister, will you continue allowing your subordinate to muck up this mission?
Commodore Jeffrey Bannister: Excuse me?
Mr. Dwayne Shrunt: She's saying we expect YOU to be the manager, Bannister. Not Zurkett. He just crashed us into a field!
Jeff: Hey, we're all in one piece, right?
Zack Del Rio (aside): Dale, am I crazy? Or was that sign you hit...
Dale (aside): No, I saw it, too. Thought maybe I was the crazy one.
Dale: Right... let's open the hatch and take a look around.

Panel 3:
Natashia: Lots of interference on the tricorder. These may be life signs. I'm uncertain.
Ensign Hylia: I'm getting something... Looks familiar. Take a look, Zack?
Andre Peters: Oh dear.
Dale: Andre?

Panel 4:
Andre: There's some hull damage. Probably from the impact.
Dale: Can you fix it?
Andre: I mean... probably? I'd rather have it in dry dock.
    Broken vacuum seals in space, are... well...
Dale: Well, someone needs to stay with the ship anyway. Do what you can!

Panel 5:
Jeff: Speaking of... we're going to scout out the area from immediate hazards.
    You two stay here with Andre for now.
Hulyard: Pardon me?? I didn't come down here to sit and babysit an engineer!
Jeff: I can't guarantee your safety, ma'am... without scouting the area first.
Hulyard: Bannister...

Panel 6:
Jeff: I'm taking charge, Ms. Hulyard. Just like you wanted.
Hulyard: ...
    30 minutes, Bannister. And I expect full progress reports.
Hylia: What do you think, Zack? I'm receiving it from the south.
Zack: That's the signal all right. The laugh track.
Natashia: The same direction I'm detecting possible life signs.
Dale; And where those buildings were. And the sign I hit.
    Well, we have our direction. Let's start walking.
