It's been a while since the last episode!
Sey-mour has just robbed a Space Bank (like, a year ago =) and a drastic getaway maneuver has drained his ship's fuel. The ship is equipped with a "charger" which can synthesize energy from suitable sources such as asteroids.
The surface of an asteroid isn't solid - it's covered with a thick layer of dust, so a probe or other object that strikes its surface will dive into a soft pool of material and raise a cloud of whatever crap had accumulated on the space rock.
