You lay eggs?

Yeah.

Why is that weird?

I don't know.

Truscans don't really strike me as the egg-laying type.

What does that mean?

Well, on Earth, birds lay eggs.

Yeah, and I think that's weird.

Why?

Something flies and lays eggs?

How do you trust them?

I don't think I know what you mean.

Okay, I've got a buyer for the ice.

Where?

Feston.

They're in the middle of a sunspot and deuced drought, and the Teds are price gouging them.

We're coming in at a quarter of the price.

Excellent.

We could charge a lot more than that.

But that would miss the point.

Oh, sorry.

I keep forgetting the point when I think about all the money we're not making.

I don't like it when people make money off of desperation.

We're not going to stop that from happening.

No, but it feels good.

Oh, I think they have green root here.

Are we getting food?

Des lays eggs.

Yeah, I know.

So what?

Is he caring?

Dez, do you have an egg on deck?

Not old enough.

Do you build a nest?

Oh, they put him in those pits, right, Des?

Zagash pits.

Big flaming pits.

They're flaming?

Yeah.

Why?

Warmth.

That's bizarre.

Says the guy sleeping with an alien every night.

Used to be we had to put the eggs by a lava flow.

Way better this way.

This is our fifth job

Helps that we set up shop on the other end of the system.

We should keep an eye on Loftrax, though.

I think they're trying to control the entire triad.

No way.

Even Emperor Bugbug couldn't pull that off back in the day.

What are you reading?

Earth News.

How are things back home?

Have they emerged from their caves yet?

Well, everyone's worried about computers switching over from the year 1999 to 2000.

They've convinced themselves that the whole world could collapse when the new year hits.

Uh-huh.

So, still in the cave, then?

So deep in the cave.

Message from Bertbird, marked urgent.

Pass.

What's she wanting?

No idea.

He's ignoring her.

I am.

I'm all for that.

Sidgians are like rust, okay?

They get everywhere you don't want them to go.

I don't think she's so bad.

The Sidgians go anyway.

Yeah, sure.

She's okay.

I mean, there's four different kinds of rust.

Some are dangerous, and some are just annoying.

Really, Des.

Please tell me about the different kinds of rust.

Oh, well, you got your red, you got your yellow.

New message from Bird Bird marked: Fuck you, goddamn you, answer, you little shit.

Okay, that's funny.

What's the message?

I'm sure it's skippable.

What if she's in trouble, you dick?

Yeah, Leif.

What if she's in trouble, you dick?

I'm deliberately ignoring her to keep her out of trouble.

And that's adorable, but it's not like listening to the message is going to suck you up into her world or something.

Just listen to the message.

Play the message.

Oh, hi.

Oh,

hi, Laif.

How are you?

Um, since you're still ignoring my messages, I thought I would just leave you with my last will and testament, since I am about to die.

To you, I leave nothing but my scorn.

Whoa, what the fuck is she talking about?

I am a fucking prisoner awaiting fucking execution.

Is this a metaphor for something?

Oh, um, in case you're wondering if that's a metaphor for something, it's not.

Oh, shit.

I am a fucking prisoner of the fucking science priests of fucking Moog.

Oh, no.

They are about to goddamn kill me in some goddamn cleansing ceremony.

What?

So, if for some reason you have decided to stop being a dickhead and check your messages, this is me saying, get me the fuck out of here I am temporarily suspending my judgment of your criminal behavior temporarily I am temporarily suspending it so that you can in defiance of however many laws break into the temple of enlightenment on moog and save me from whatever killing machine I am headed towards if you have a uh problem doing that try pretending I am a huge pile of money and steal me.

Maybe that'll help.

I really hate that this may be the last message I ever send.

Give me that device.

You, you

help me.

That sounds bad.

So

we're not getting food in

the planet of Moon is a mid-sized planet in Andromeda that underwent a revolution by religious fundamentalists calling themselves the science priests.

Science priests rose to power during the movement dubbed the Vapian Panic, where multiple systems began to reject technological advancement after the planet of Vapus demonstrated the dangers of technology when they accidentally collapsed their homeworld into a black hole.

You're welcome, everyone.

The movement died down in most most corners of the triad, except for on the planet of Moog, where the science priests maintain a vice-like grip on the populace, using the tactics of violence, fear, and intimidation.

They sound lovely.

It'll be fun.

I don't like these guys.

You don't like anybody.

I like all kinds of people.

You don't show it.

That's just the way my face looks.

If they reject technology, why do they call themselves science priests?

It's a classic switcheroo.

The science priests reject science, so they make sure the populace stays real dumb, and then they say that all science comes from them.

To avoid people embracing science, they just say that they are science.

And when someone disagrees?

Oh, they're big fans of executions, as I'm sure Bert Bert is now learning.

What the heck did she do to piss them off?

It could be anything.

The key to suppressing a populace is making justice totally random and unhinged.

Isn't this going to create some sort of interstellar political incident or something?

Oh, sure.

They don't care.

How are they allowed to operate like this?

Take a wild guess.

It is rumored that the science priests of Moog are secretly supported by the Ted Empire.

Oh, sure.

Real nice.

What do they get out of it?

Religious fanaticism is the tiny angry dog on the lap of despotic empires.

It's tradition.

Whatever.

How are we doing this?

Let's just roll in there.

Start shooting people.

Isn't that what Earthlings do?

Maybe something more nuanced than that.

Alice, is there a map of this Temple of Enlightenment anywhere?

What does it look like from the outside?

On on the screen.

That's a big tower.

That thing's filled with people awaiting execution.

You'd think their lack of technology wouldn't be a benefit, but it's kind of an amazing defense.

There's no way of knowing what's in there.

There's nothing to hack into.

I have an idea.

What?

We do have something they want.

What's that?

Me.

Yeah.

That's true.

What do you mean?

Alice.

The science priests believe the collapsing of Vapus 10 by the Vapians was the original sin of the triad.

They allege the Vapians' arrogance and love affair with technology caused the Vapian collapse.

Because of that, they see Vapians as a scourge and an affront to all things holy.

Desperate bounty hunters will sometimes attempt to abduct Vapians and bring them to Moog for a high price.

That's terrible.

Well, in their defense, I also see myself as an affront to all things holy, but in a good way.

That gets us in the front door.

We just need to know what to do after.

Hmm.

How many explosives do we have?

I haven't done an inventory, but I'm gonna guess rough estimate?

A lot.

I've got an idea.

We wish a glorious day to the righteous.

Begin your day at the end anomaly intended.

Untouched, unchanged, and full of his ancient light.

Praise the great simplicity of the mystery.

Uh

hey there.

Hello?

What's all this?

Well, I got a shipment here for you.

What is it?

Looks like...

It looks like some crates.

Yes, I can see that.

What is in them?

You know, I don't ask a lot of questions.

What does it say on your manifest?

Let me see.

Oh, no, that's last week.

Oh, give me a minute here.

You know, the home office always screws me with this stuff.

I got a ticking clock on me every time I'm out here.

Do they send me out here with the right materials?

No.

They sent me out here with last week's workups, and I'm sitting here saying, put all the clocks on me you want.

It's not going to give me the right materials to do the job.

Am I right?

I don't.

What am I looking for?

What is in the crates?

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.

Uh, oh, here we go.

Okay.

Gruel.

Bovian gruel.

Geez, this stuff's bad.

You ever had this stuff?

It's a staple of our diet.

You know, I hear it's more nutritious to eat the crate this stuff comes in than the thing itself.

I don't expect technology slaves like you, Truscans, to understand our ways.

Fair enough.

So, uh,

how much sauce you gotta put on this stuff to make it taste like something?

I don't have time for this.

We just received a shipment of gruel yesterday.

Why are we getting another one?

Look, pal, they don't give me the right workup for these boxes, and you think they're gonna tell me why they're here?

Send them back.

This was obviously a mistake.

Yeah, see there.

This is a one-way arrangement.

I bring stuff,

I don't take stuff away.

You gotta pay extra for the takeaway.

Even if I didn't order it?

Look, if you didn't order it, you know.

Free gruel.

For the love of the anomaly.

Very well.

Go to the cargo lift, then down two floors to grain storage.

You got it.

Okay, I'm in.

How about you?

We're in the main hall, and it's an experience.

Hopefully, when I try and turn in Verge, they'll lead us to wherever they keep the prisoners.

That's when you push the button, so let us know when you're in position.

This place is insane.

I know.

It makes me nauseous.

So, you can just walk in here with a vapion and they give you money?

You can.

How are there any of you left?

That's not easy money.

You can wind up dead hunting a vapien.

You know that tattoo on my shoulder?

The one with the four lines?

Yeah.

Those four lines are dead bounty hunters.

Really?

Hmm, poor babies.

Glorious day to the righteous.

Glorious day to the end anomaly.

Welcome to the temple of enlightenment.

Oh my.

Hi there.

You've brought us a vapien.

I have because I'm a bounty hunter.

Yes.

Yes, he is.

I trust the arm restraints are properly secured.

It's a very dangerous creature.

Oh yes, very secured.

I'm not going anywhere.

Praise to the Nth Anomaly.

Yes, agreed.

Look at it.

It's disgusting.

Hmm.

I bet you say that to all the scourges.

So, this is my first time at the temple.

How does this work?

Take it down the far hall to the chamber of redemption.

The acolyte will take you to the appropriate area.

Great.

Praise to the whatever.

I'm getting the sense that there's going to be some harsh words said about you during this transaction.

Are you worried I'm gonna get my feelings hurt?

I never worry about that.

Alice, what is the nth anomaly?

The science priests believe the universe should be shrouded in mystery to maintain its pure state.

The nth anomaly is a personification of the mysteries of the universe that science violates with its curiosity.

Glorious day to the righteous.

How can I Hi.

Praise the anomaly.

Didn't we just talk to you?

No, no, no, no.

This is a different guy.

Okay.

Well, I have a Vapian.

What do I do now?

Thank you, stranger.

What a beautiful offering to the anomaly.

Oh, thank you.

I think so too.

I hear I can get paid pretty well for a vapien.

Of course.

One moment, please.

He looks exactly like the last guy I talked to.

They're all clones.

What?

Alice.

The original high priest of Moog thought the most effective way to create a congregation was to just clone himself.

So now you have one high priest and a hundred acolytes, all the same guy.

I imagine that took a lot of technology, sure, which they reject.

Wait, are you saying that this fascist theocratic empire is somehow hypocritical?

Get the fuck out of here.

I guess I was just hoping for a little intellectual consistency.

I'm sorry, the religious zealots are letting you down, Pook Pook.

Please, right this way.

So,

just out of curiosity, this elevator we're in is a form of technology, right?

That's correct.

But you guys are the anti-technology guys.

Yes, but this elevator has been sanctified by the nth anomaly.

How does that work?

When the high priest deems it necessary, a piece of technology may be cleansed in the light of the anomaly so that it may be freely used by us here at the temple.

So, when you really want to use something, the High Priest waves his hands over it, and then you can use it?

Yes, because it has been cleansed.

That's convenient.

Oh, it's very convenient.

Trust me, you do not want to climb the stairs all the way up to the High Priest's chamber.

I'm sorry, the what?

The High Priest's Chamber.

In the rare instance that a Vapian is brought to us, the High Priest insists he inspect them personally.

Inspect them?

Oh, this will be a fun meeting.

Very few of us have been allowed to converse directly with the High Priest.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Look, I really don't need all that.

I'm just trying to get paid and get out of here.

Can you just take me to wherever I drop off the prisoners?

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's required.

Great.

Let's go meet the High Priest.

I suggest this creature be on its best behavior.

I would just like the both of you to know that

these armor strains,

I'm really into them.

Disgusting, noted.

And you got your red rust, aka hydrated oxide.

That's the most common type out there.

You got an even layer of corrosion across the material.

That means you got too much oxygen and water exposure.

Then you got yellow rust, Iron oxide hydroxide.

You got standing water.

It's by the sink.

It's by the bathtub.

Are you in a submersible?

Not for long if you got yellow rust.

Why are you telling me all this?

Brown rust.

Brown rust is the opposite.

You got a high oxygen, low moisture combo.

Not a uniform rust.

It shows up in spots, okay?

Brown rust, you look for when you think you got contaminants in the metal.

If the rust is brown, your quality is down.

That's what you say.

Then we got black rust.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Got a shipment of gruel here.

How does this relate to different types of rust?

I was just making conversation.

We just received a shipment of gruel.

Why is this here?

I tried to tell this to the other guy.

Nothing I can do about someone else's screw-up.

I don't do returns.

So I have to stock all of this gruel and there's nothing I can do about it.

Organized society is real convenient except for one guy a day.

You're that guy today.

Welcome to it.

Very well.

There we go.

Now we move on to the next part.

That's me getting paid.

How does that happen?

This is infuriating.

Ugh, follow me.

Waiting for you.

I'm afraid we're experiencing a little setback.

We may need some time

to set back.

Oh, great high priest.

We bring a great boon to you today.

A bounty hunter has brought you one of the scourge, a vapion.

Leave us,

of course.

Glory to the Anth Anomaly.

Hi there,

nice tower you have here.

Real brutalist aesthetic.

Lots of concrete.

How did you catch it?

Oh, uh.

Just got lucky, really.

Lucky?

Yes, they, uh.

They had fallen in a hole.

Fallen in a hole.

It's always the simple things, isn't it?

I was trying to catch a bear.

What are you talking about?

I don't know.

Is he gone?

Who?

Number 52.

Is he gone?

The guy who brought us up here?

Yes.

Uh, yeah, he's gone.

Good, come closer.

Okay.

What?

You have to get me out of here.

I'm sorry?

You have to get me out of here.

What are you talking about?

Do you have a ship?

Can you get me out of here?

I.

Yes, I have a ship.

This is a nightmare.

You have to get me out of here.

I don't understand.

It's all a sham.

What is?

This, being high priest, it's it's all pointless.

What's all pointless?

The temple, the acolytes, this entire movement, everything.

But there's a bunch of acolytes in this tower who listen to you.

They all look like you and they all listen to you.

And it's the worst!

I'm confused.

I began here as the hundredth acolyte.

I was fresh out of the test tube.

I was ambitious.

I had zeal.

Now look.

Now you're the high priest.

Sounds like it worked.

Nobody told me it would be like this.

Like what?

Boring, miserable.

It's like prison.

All I do is sit on this throne all day.

What were you expecting?

I don't know.

The ways of the high priest must be shrouded in mystery, they tell us.

But there's nothing to it.

I just sit here.

You don't do anything?

Nothing.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

I'm not.

Can you believe it?

You've got to get me out.

Look, I can see that it may be confusing.

Look at this throne room.

Look at the throne.

It really does look like important things happen here, doesn't it?

It does?

Nope.

For years I would imagine all of the secret and important things that the high priest would do all day.

Communing with the anomaly, learning great secrets, writing great tomes of knowledge.

Guess what?

I'm guessing no.

Nope, I'm just a figurehead.

I'm here to be aspired to.

I'm here to convince everyone that they could be me one day.

But actually, being me sucks real bad.

Then why were we brought to you?

Aha!

That was part of my plan.

My escape plan.

We're a part of your escape plan?

Yes!

I can't just pick up and leave.

If the high priest left because it was a crappy gig, all of the acolytes would lose their minds.

They need to feel like they're working towards something.

They are not working towards something.

This is insane.

Take these fucking restraints off me.

One second.

Don't let it free.

It'll kill me.

Don't worry about it.

What is this plan?

I demanded to speak with the next bounty hunter who brought in a vapien.

If they brought in a vapien, then they certainly would be able to escape with me, right?

That makes sense, right?

You could escape with me if you want.

I guess.

Good.

Here's the thing, High Priest.

We actually had a plan to break someone else out of here.

Really?

You're in cahoots with this sapiens?

Sweetheart, could you hurry up with those restraints?

They're very complicated.

Wait, I can help with that.

Look,

I wear this key around my neck.

It opens every door in the tower.

We can get them out with this.

Okay, that's helpful.

Hey.

Okay, you're free.

Thank you.

Where's my gun?

Here.

So,

let me get this straight.

You help us get our friend out with that key, and we help you get out of this tower so you can live live the life you want to live.

Is that the deal?

That's the deal.

What do you say?

Fuck no.

Oh, shit.

Well,

that's one way of

escaping.

Honey, you just killed the high priest of Moon.

I fucking did.

That's going to add a bit of urgency to our plan here.

Oh, sorry.

I can respect the science priests for being evil shitheads, but you don't get to be an evil shithead and then back out of being an evil shithead.

Motherfucker.

Commit to the bit, people.

Besides,

all we needed was this key.

Okay, sure, that's a good point.

Shoot whoever you want, honey.

Uh, Dez, are you there?

Yeah.

Alice, are you ready?

Sure.

Let's make a map.

Blow it up, Dez.

Fire in the hole.

Kind of a shame.

I wanted to try that group.

Alice, is it working?

Analyzing the seismic data from the explosions in the sub-basement.

Bingo, I now have a sonar wireframe map of the Tower of Enlightenment.

Who's the smartest guy?

You are.

I mean, I made the map.

Which floor looks like jail cells?

Probably about ten floors down.

I've got the key.

Let's go save the princess.

Hello?

Hello?

What was that sound?

It uh, it sounded like uh an explosion?

Be quiet in there.

It sounded pretty serious.

Are you sure you don't wanna check it out?

Oh, maybe you should call someone on your communicator.

Oh, wait.

You don't have one because technology is evil.

Don't your kind ever shut up?

Historically, no.

I am going to be there personally when they walk into the neutralization chamber, and I am going to love.

Who are you?

Hi, could you hold this for a second?

What is it?

Hello?

Did someone order some criminals?

Holy shit, thank God.

Seems to me you've got some sort of martyrdom thing going on.

So sorry to ruin that for you, Berts.

You know what?

Get me the fuck out of here.

Oh, right this way, my Milady.

Okay, here's the plan.

We open all the jail cells.

The prisoners run down to the bottom floor to escape, and in doing so, distract the rest of the acolytes.

Then we head up to the roof where Dez picks us up in the Nancy Sinatra.

Yeah, sure, whatever.

Let's go.

You two handle the freeing of the prisoners.

I'll meet you on the roof.

Where are you going?

There's something I'd like to do before we go.

What?

Hit the gift shop?

Don't worry about it.

I'll see you two on the roof.

You're insane.

I know.

Okay.

Well,

what do I do here?

Keep watch around the corner while I unlock these doors.

Take this.

Whoa, uh,

that's a gun.

Yes.

And uh, why am I taking it?

To heat up a burrito, Bert Bert.

Why do you think?

Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Um, I've never shot a gun before.

And I've never broken a sidjine out of prison.

Look how we're growing.

Okay, people, closing time.

Please exit certain doom through the ground floor.

In case you're wondering, yes, this is a vapion freeing you from execution.

Please remember that next time you're saying racist shit about us.

Probably too much to ask, but...

There they are.

Verge, they're coming.

What do I do?

What do you think I gave you the gun for?

Fuck.

Shit.

Okay.

Uh...

Fuck!

She's got a gun!

Am I doing this right?

Probably not, but they don't know that.

Oh!

I just hit one of them!

Verge, I just hit one one of them.

That's the point.

I just murdered someone.

Oh my god, I just murdered someone.

If you murder a murderer, it doesn't count as burder.

Where's that written?

On my left ass cheek.

Let's head for the roof.

Oh.

You'll live to regret this, techno-slave.

I'm having a hard time understanding you there, pal.

I'm gonna regret this?

Is that the deal?

Yes.

or regret's not really a problem for my people

see for truscans there's what you do and then there's

well that's really it the stuff you don't do doesn't exist and i can't talk to you about something that doesn't exist know what i mean no

what's that no oh that's a shame way easier to live your life that way

hey there where's life i thought he was with you he took a detour for some reason i'm sure he'll be along.

Hey, I met this guy.

Say hello, guy.

Hello.

Berts.

You got yourself in a bit of a spot there.

I mean,

just a bit of a spot.

Des.

Yeah.

Okay.

Are we ready to go?

Where did you go?

Don't worry about it.

All aboard.

Oh, you could go now, guy.

You heathens.

You will all die in the light of the anomaly.

Get the fuck.

Get the fuck out of here.

Warming up the engines.

Hey, uh, Berts, you reconsidering a life in the nosy business there?

Dez, what the hell are you doing here?

You didn't seem like a criminal type.

What?

You never got a Truskin reminder before?

What?

Truskin reminder.

You know, suddenly your ship disappears from a docking station without a trace.

What does that have to do with anything?

On Trusk, we figure, you know, we built these ships.

We could pretty much take them back anytime we want.

That's wildly illegal.

Yeah, sure.

You call it a crime, but that's a classification issue, if you catch my meaning.

Hey, Verge, I, uh, I got you something.

What?

What's that?

Here.

It's a remote.

Yeah, press the button.

What is it?

It's a present.

Press the button.

Okay.

Oh my god.

Is that building collapsing?

Hey, Des, you better get us in the air.

Here we go.

Leif, what did you do?

I saw the wireframe and I thought really would only take four explosions in the right place to bring it down, so.

And this...

all this

is a gift.

Yeah.

Mmm, Khmer.

Laif, this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.

Stop.

Laif?

Did uh

did you just kill every single one of the science priests?

Uh, oh, uh, no, I mean, they were all clones.

Technically, I only killed one guy.

Oh, yeah, they'll make more.

Building wasn't structurally sound, anyways.

Huh.

Where is the booze on this ship?
