403: The Floyda Project [ft. Clara Morris]

It is a time of chaos.

Without a ruler, the galaxy is paralyzed by lawlessness, unrest, and of course the colossal all wheat,

which looks like if the sun hated you.

Now, Captain Dar and their intrepid crew must survive the looming threats, reunite a fractured galaxy, and meet weird bug creatures and stuff.

This

is mission to

AC-53.

How are you liking the new loader frame?

Well, it's very intimidating.

It's a little unwieldy compared to most C5 series range.

It's unwieldy until you need to lift something.

I will say lifting something has been much easier than these arms.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I'm worried that if we encounter any species

to rely on, you know, a sign-life

communication form I might be a better person.

They're not the most dexterous.

Those are basically forklift arms.

Yeah.

What if we go to a high-gravity planet where people can't lift stuff?

If we go to a lift-based culture, I would like to.

Now we're talking.

Oh, wow.

That's all damn.

That's nice.

By the way, C53,

what did you end up doing with the Midnight Shadow Frame?

Well, most of it was totally on recognition, but there were some usable components left over, so I actually

separated the still functioning pieces and a little bit of an array of spare parts.

Any chance there's a functioning ocular sensor in the pile?

I don't have memory, sirs.

I think they're actually.

Yes.

Uh, listen, you have that pile of trash that you brought back on board?

What are you talking about the parts of the midnight camera?

Oh, it just looked like trash to me.

And well, I couldn't sleep because, you know, I was just up all night thinking.

And, you know, I got into a real crafting mood, and uh, I made baby hoha a little mobile out of all your trash.

That's actually fun, great.

We can just stay there until they get bored of the mobile.

Oh, uh, ho-ha will get bored of the mobile?

Well, sure, all children eventually lose interest in certain toys.

Okay, um, maybe when I'm up all night looking at blogs about how to be a better captain, I should be looking at blogs about how to be a better parent.

Oh, yeah, I don't know if you want to go into that world.

Wait, Captain Darr, uh, I know that you're balancing everything and trying to have it all, but I just had a quick question.

Why haven't we heard Bargy?

It's been like days.

It has been an unusual length of time for Bargy to be silent.

Yeah, usually Bargy's all like,

why are you being on that?

And I'm like, that's really great.

Bargie, AJ.

Bargy's more like this.

I'm asleep.

Like that, yeah, like a shut up plaque.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

If you really want to get a Bargie, you gotta go deep into your pelvis, and it's just like a,

I'm Bargie.

Bargie, Baja.

I feel like that's what I'm doing.

I'm Baji!

No, no.

No.

No, AJ.

I think if you're going to do a Bargy, it sounds sort of like this.

Captain Dahl, I have an incoming message from who gives a shit.

Ha ha!

I'm Bargie.

Okay.

It's

not fair.

That's not fair.

C's.

Well, why is it not fair?

It's very good.

AJ, where did you get that cigar from?

You know.

AJ, we were sort of in the middle of a conversation.

Papa, were you trying to to get an eye out of C's body?

I mean, no, I was just thinking, you know, if we have an extra thing to do.

I mean, no, I just.

Clack, if you really want Baby Hoha's favorite part of the mobile,

no, Horsette, it's fine, keep it.

Way to go, Clack!

Alright, you know what?

Sorry, okay?

I know I've been here, okay, and I've been listening to you all.

Well, we know you've been here.

First of all, I do not sound like that, okay?

No, it does not sound a thing like me.

My voice is very smooth, delicate, and dainty.

Okay?

Like a flower blooming in the sun for the last time before it dies.

Oh, yeah, actually, that's pretty accurate, Bargie.

Yeah, that is good.

That's really good.

I've been working on something called not trying to take focus.

Uh,

it's a book I've been downloading.

I've never read it.

No, you definitely have not.

That's a book by Squeegee, right?

Yep.

Squeegee, rest their soul.

That was Squeegee's autobiography, right?

Rest their soul.

Never took focus.

In C53, Squeegee was the most famous sidekick of all time.

Of the they who will not be named.

Squeegee was Turkmannekid's sentient mop.

Squeegee never pulled focus?

You've never heard that before?

Anyway, in the book, it says that sometimes having too much focus leads you to making a lot of life's mistakes.

I'm working through a period which, Pleck, I think you relate to.

We're looking back at our failures and why we ever reached our potential and why we had big goals in front of us and we thought we met them, but it didn't really lead anywhere.

And it's because we've been trying too hard to be in focus.

Oh, okay.

Anyway, I'm back to not talking for a little bit.

I'm just going to observe and let the anger of all the things you're doing just bubble up.

Listen, Bargie, I'm really glad you're, you know, trying to listen more and stuff.

But, you know, I like it when you're around talking.

Okay.

Okay.

So weird to be in a spaceship and not have it talk,

you know?

Captain Darwin, we have a incoming transmission from temporary emergency admission

missions operations manager.

Red alert.

Hey, okay, okay.

What's out of the red?

Okay, all right, AJ, let's just listen.

No, but Azar, swivel him, swivel out.

We're shared focused.

We're shared focus.

Yes, Nermit, we've talked about this.

When you come in too hot, you agitate AJ.

It's gotta talk!

And then it's almost impossible to get him to sleep with it.

Yeah, sorry, guys, it's just crazy.

Look at this video feed.

Do you see the remnants of matter getting sucked into the all wheat?

That planet's going down?

Yeah, that seems not great.

Can I get a little affirmation of the red alert scream screen?

Okay, we're on

okay.

Also, when was this taken?

This is live!

Oh, wait, that's the all wheat?

Yes, it's engulfing planet Jeknar.

Jeknar?

You know, it's so funny.

I know that we are all thinking about the all wheat, just I haven't thought about the all wheat in a really long time.

No, totally, Dar.

I'm like, oh yeah, there's the all wheat, and it's always there and apparently eating planets.

Simply through, is Jeknar where the all wheat was?

Jechnar was the closest inhabited world to the all wheat, but it was dozens of light years away.

Not no no more.

Wow, it just lassoed it in, but with like a gravity vacuum.

Sure, can lasso in a vacuum.

Hey, stop the science, nerds.

Let's just like get to the point.

I'm gonna rotate the video.

Look at this.

Zooming, zooming, zooming.

Do you see that ship?

Uh,

yeah.

There are escapees from this planet.

This presents an amazing opportunity.

It does?

Guys, I'm getting it.

Did you custom make that light?

Yeah.

How long did it take you to make that button after seeing the planet being destroyed?

This planet started getting destroyed four hours ago.

Why did you call us then?

Well, I wanted to make the opportunity light with the button.

Opportunity!

No,

that's a pretty good light.

A red alert, you should have called us.

Wow.

So those

people on the ship are the last last check knife.

Yes.

This is an opportunity.

Just you can stop hitting the button.

I cannot.

I will not.

This is an opportunity for Sisu Gundu to get a little PR situation going for the reunification of the galaxy.

I mean we could do it because we want to save those people too.

Exactly.

And we're going to probably film it.

So Bargie

Barji?

Where's Bargie?

Bargie's sort of taking a vow of silence.

Okay, well, when Bargie becomes unmute, will you tell Bargie that we're gonna have to do a mid-air hatch to hatch with this?

I don't see it!

Opportunity!

AJ.

You cannot!

You have to stop!

And you have to stop smoking these cigars!

Captain Darrow

with the refugee ship.

Great.

So I've been thinking it over.

Should I open with a hey, Captain Darr here?

You know, casual, cool Captain.

Casual might not be the right tone, you know, owing to the recent disruption of their planet.

Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure, sure.

Okay, so we're thinking more like um paternal, just like, hey, guys.

Oh, I like when you kneel on one knee like that, Dar.

That's very comforting.

Ooh, yeah, she looked more like a coach.

Okay, uh, hey there, tigers.

Uh, I'm sorry that we lost out there today a planet, but uh, is this hello?

Oh, ah, sorry, I flipped on the trip.

Oh, hey there, Flecker.

What?

What is this?

It's your captain, Dar here.

We're here to help.

Oh.

That would be great.

You got any candy?

Candy?

I don't think we do have any candy.

I'm not sure any of you.

We have rations and fuel.

We saw your planet destroyed and we wanted to see what we could do.

Oh, yeah, that was so loud.

Let me tell you guys, I could almost still hear it.

That was so loud.

Sounds good.

Should I open my mouth or?

No, not permission to ship.

I'm gonna open my mouth.

Okay, cool.

That's cool.

I've got a good feeling about this.

Hey, Bargie, can you interface with this person's ship?

Well, let me get to know them a little bit.

Okay.

Physically, if I'm not interested, at least personality, you know.

Hey!

Yes, this is Tornaceous Eleven.

Tell me something about yourself.

I'm forged from the memories of my creator.

Alright, Evan Tewit.

Alright, turn around.

Opening.

But after this, I'm not speaking again.

Alright.

I feel like Bargie's been saying about as much as she normally says.

She normally does, I know.

Not a word.

Uh, listen, uh, we're we'll be right over.

You can close your mouth in the meantime.

It got so dry.

Okay, all right.

Yeah, that'll happen.

Yeah.

Hatch doors extending.

Hatches open.

Deep connection fused.

Oh.

Deep connection barge.

Nay.

Nay?

Alright, let's go.

AJ, you can put the gun away.

Stop just spinning it on your finger.

AJ, if you accidentally discharge in the hatch, both ships would lose pressure and we would all die.

Worth it.

Okay.

Wow, look at this.

This is a really fancy sort of ship.

I mean, it's literally humming.

It's just humming along.

Yeah, a lot of doodads.

Pretty advanced vessel.

Wow.

Pardon me, sorry.

Just gonna scoot past you to my lab.

Welcome aboard.

Oh, how proud of you.

Thank you.

Sorry, sir.

What do you do here on the ship?

Oh, I am a meteorologist.

Okay, okay.

So I'm studying meteors.

Exactly.

You'd think so, but what?

Yes.

Oh.

It's the not the meteorologist.

I'm trying to.

Yeah.

Peek inside my lab here.

Do you see these chunks?

These were expelled from the All Wheat upon the destruction of Jeknar.

Wow, they're glowing kind of sinisterly.

Sorry, sorry.

Excuse me, I'm also trying to get to my lab.

Oh,

sorry.

Sorry, everyone's bustling.

Look at this hallway.

Every single one of these doors leads to a laboratory.

Are you also a meteorologist?

No, I'm a cosmologist.

Oh, so you do with makeup?

Makeup of the cosmos.

Oh, okay, so like lipstick and

cosh.

That's cosmetologists.

She means makeup, like what it's made up of.

Specifically, that of the Halite.

Yeah, like blush, but it's his face.

I also have a PhD.

Yeah, okay.

Wonderful.

Casually dropping that into conversation.

Cool.

You can go to your lab.

We're sorry to have bothered you.

Okay.

Oh, thank you so much for intercepting us.

We are the best and the brightest of Jetcon.

We were selected to survive.

I am Dr.

Phoenix Marp.

I am.

You're sorry, your first name is Phoenix.

Finis.

Why?

Clack.

Cleck.

Are you also a doctor?

Is that why you're.

I am Dr.

Fenis Marp.

I am so close to determining what constitutes the matter of the surface of the all-white.

Whoa.

I will be in my quarters.

Floyda.

We'll show you around.

Okay.

No problem.

I'm Floyda.

You can go to the bathroom anywhere.

Excuse me?

Wait, you were the one that we talked to.

Yeah, Floyda, we spoke to you on the hollow.

Yeah, do you guys have my gum?

No, I think we said we don't have any candy.

Yeah, no candy.

Gum isn't candy.

That's a good point.

You said you didn't have candy.

I'm sorry, we're getting off on the wrong foot here.

I'm Dar.

I'm the captain of the Bargerian Jade.

This is C-53, our protocol and diplomatic relations droid.

And this is AJ.

He's our defected clinch.

Oh, yeah.

Man child.

Uh-huh.

And this is Pleck.

Yeah, I'm here too.

Okay, great.

Can we come up with a title?

Yeah,

yeah, Papa.

I'm here too, isn't like a cool catchphrase.

Okay,

noted.

But so you can go to the bathroom anywhere?

Yeah, wherever you want.

It's fine.

Cool.

You gotta go?

Exactly.

You say you can go to the bathroom anywhere, then what happens?

I don't know.

I don't sit around watching files of bathroom.

Yeah, what's your deal?

Why are you you so fascinated?

I thought she was leaning towards something.

Whoa, incredible.

I am Dr.

Fenis Price.

Wait, your name is also Phoenix?

Yes.

Wow, congratulations.

Pardon me, Dr.

Phoenix, coming through.

Just going to quickly measure the circumference of Florida.

You need me to put my arms up?

Yep, higher.

Nope, that's perfect.

Thank you.

Yeah, we all kind of got our projects around here.

Yeah, we just took our good ones, you know, and we put them on this safety ship.

Yeah.

How do you say the planet's name?

How did you say it?

Jeknar, is that Jeknar?

Yeah, no, that's good.

That sounds nice.

I've always been saying like Juckner, you know?

Juckner?

Yeah, I've been saying it like that.

So.

My hand is stuck.

My hand is stuck.

It's okay.

Oh, wait, wait.

Sorry.

No, I was in my pocket.

Situation.

Floyd, can you tell me a little bit about Jackinar?

What's Jackmar like?

Oh.

Or what was it like?

Okay.

Yeah, you start.

Okay.

No, it was a nice place.

We had both indoors and outdoors.

Oh, that's quite coming.

Sounds great.

We had rain on occasion.

which was wet, right?

Yes, so wet

and um sometimes it's very hot

Other times very cold

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got we got seasons wait a second

Yeah, you're not a doctor, are you

okay You're a weatherologist

oh man AJ you are swooping me off my feet but but listen I feel like I can tell you anything and also by default you're friends.

I don't think I was supposed to be on the ship.

What?

I think that...

Oh.

Well, I sat in a seat that was labeled magistrate.

And I'm not a magistrate.

Like I said, it was really loud because of that thing you guys were talking about.

The all week.

Yeah.

So, wait, how did you get on the ship, though?

I was following a butterfly.

And

I've done that before.

It's fun, right?

Super fun.

Because it's like, where's it going?

Yeah, and it's so gentle.

Yeah, it's super gentle.

Just like, can I touch it?

Yeah, but don't, but don't, but don't.

No, seriously.

So fragile.

No, my, no, you cannot touch it yet.

Yeah, yeah.

The doors shut right after I got on.

You know, I was doing the butterfly thing and I stepped on.

What happens?

You do the butterfly now.

It's the butterfly effect.

Yeah, it's the butterfly effect.

Yeah, I've heard the butterfly effect.

Yeah.

I've been keeping up appearances.

I've been doing sort of what I think a magistrate would do.

I was fooled.

I don't think anybody gets it.

No one's caught on yet.

Right?

Did you guys get it?

I mean, we pretty immediately we've met other people, and Floyd is clearly the dumbest.

Papa, come on.

Is that your dad?

No, it's just a honorary title.

Oh, congratulations.

So, Floyd, do you know why your planet got sucked into the all wheat?

I don't know why.

I just know.

So many people got blowed up, you know?

Oh, so really no one else got off of the planet Jeknar.

Well, I haven't seen any of my pals, like, uh, Floyda Bastion,

Floyda Eckersley.

Wait.

Those people's names are also Floyda?

The name is, like, Eckersley.

And Floyda is the cast?

Oh, my planet is a cast system.

Okay.

There's two.

Okay.

That's a pretty simple system.

I'm sorry, Floyd.

Can I...

Can I hazard a guess as to what the other cast is called?

Sure, that's fun.

Is it Phoenix?

Yeah.

Whoa, Papa.

How'd you know?

How'd you know?

Put two and two together.

And there's only two to put together here, so.

And how many fenuses were there on Jeknar?

Oh, not that many.

Uh, let's see.

About as many as are on the ship.

Would you say all of the fenuses are on the ship?

Well, it's hard to know.

We're not gonna take our shoes off and cowed.

Yeah, yeah.

Floyd, am I right in speaking?

You're the only Floyd on the ship.

Yeah.

Okay.

You know, that's awesome that nobody's caught on that you're a Floyd.

Floyda, did it ever occur to you when you snuck aboard the ship to claim that you were a fetus?

No.

Okay.

And why would I...

Powerful, come on.

It's not necessarily good to be a fetus.

Get ready to do work well into the night if you're a fetus.

That doesn't sound so bad.

Oh, yeah, we'll see what you say starting at 8 o'clock when you're still at the computer.

All the Floyd is dead, though, right?

I just want to confirm

what we were talking about earlier.

Yeah, this is less fun than it started out with your promises of bubblegum and

you swore it.

You swore it.

You did swear.

Look into my eyes, and you swore it.

I'll be honest, there was a point where I said, I swear to you, we will give you a gun.

Well, that makes sense.

That makes some kind of sense.

Flighted, is there some sort of information on where the ship is headed or what the mission of the ship is?

Something about getting to the eye of the all wheat.

What?

Sorry.

I don't know.

Rerouting.

Rerouting.

Wait, is this ship turning around?

Is it heading toward the all wheat?

Yeah, the Phoenixes are, they got it.

The doctors got it.

Don't worry.

All right, bye.

Bye.

No, Bargie.

No, you can't.

No, Bargie.

Alright.

Is that gonna hold Funky?

No, no, it's fine.

This is a good time for you.

You need to go focus, Bargie.

Floyd maybe if your ship could just stop real quick, you know from hurdling towards the eye of the all guys I can't just devoured your planet.

Listen, you guys have been real nice so far.

I've forgiven us.

This isn't about the candy or anything, but I can't really make a fuss.

Like, I don't want to get found out here.

Okay, no, that's fine.

Fair enough.

Let me just talk.

Is there a fetus I could speak to on the ship?

Could I speak with a fanus, please?

Could we be face to face with a fenus right now?

Hey, it's Dr.

Phoenix.

Uh, yeah.

Sorry, what carrot?

Phoenix Carrot?

He is.

Okay.

Listen, Dr.

Phoenix Carrot.

We came aboard the ship to try to rescue the inhabitants of Jeknar, and it seems like there's been some sort of mistake.

We're headed towards the all-week.

Yes.

Uh-huh.

Because he actually, our ship sort of bailed, and so if you could just

get us back, we would love to get out of here.

But we're in the middle of an experiment.

I'm sorry, is your experiment exploding?

Yeah, we already saw your plan.

Yeah.

Could you explain what the plan is?

And we need a specimen to drop into it.

I'm sorry, what?

Oh, no.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, Floyd, could you give us just one second?

Oh, sure.

I was playing a song in my head.

Uh-huh, yeah.

What was the song?

Uh, it was kind of like a marching band

on on a parade.

Uh-uh.

Dr.

Phoenix.

Wait, so who are you dropping in?

AJ.

What?

Uh, what?

AJ, why don't you go talk to Floyda over there?

Okay.

Oh, I love parade.

Oh, you know.

When I was marching, you're like, I don't have to.

Let's just explain this to you in a way that you may understand.

We understand, but you're about to sacrifice Floyd.

Yes, I'm worried we're giving you the wrong idea.

Look inside this case.

Fear not.

These sensors will be attached to the Floyda.

You can't launch a person.

No, fear not.

Look at this launcher.

You can launch a Floyda.

We don't want to launch a Floyda.

You shouldn't be allowed to do this to your own citizen.

Listen, we must know what is inside the Almighty.

Even if that means dipping one dum-dum in

butterfly-following idiot

for the purposes of sentient existence?

And of course, thank you for answering our quote distress signal because we needed some people to distract Floyda while we finish preparations.

We didn't bring the butterfly, so she's all around the place.

Yeah, I mean, you could have sent out a distress signal six months ago, yeah.

And you could have evacuated the entire planet then.

Well, the technology to launch the Floyd in needed to be complete before we evacuated.

Well, why didn't you talk to Doctor, Philosopher, Phoenix Brionix Bion?

Oh boy.

Uh hi there.

Uh Finis Brion.

Yes.

How do you rationalize leaving the entire population of Tepnar behind to die?

How does one rationalize anything?

Thank you, that was it.

Wow, really?

Just lower it into a cylinder.

Well, our preparations are almost complete.

You have no choice but to continue distracting Floyda.

Why do we have to launch a person?

To answer it, we have Doctor Philosopher.

Lesson complete.

I assure you, that decision is completely logical.

For we Phoenixes are incapable of decisions guided by emotion.

Really?

Love, for example.

We've never been in love before.

Even if we really want to tell someone we're in love with them, it's not possible.

Even though all you want to do is yell out loud, you're the love of my little life.

And your ears hear it, but they know it can't be true.

Well, the Floyd drop is imminent.

We must leave you.

Floyda Pleck, Floyd AJ Floyd die

actually not Floyd

have fun

you think you're a fan

Hey AJ do you have a gun?

Yeah, that's joking cool.

Here's the thing I always say I say look and look

that.

Yeah,

take my gun right now.

Oh, hold on.

I can't take your only gun.

It's important to you.

No, I got a gun up my butt.

Okay, great.

Give me this one.

Yeah.

Hey, look, it's in my mouth.

Be careful.

I will, I will.

AJ, red alert.

We're alert.

Split, this is the cause they should.

Take the gun out of your mouth.

Yeah, there you go.

Good advice, General.

Keep your head on the swivel, Floyd.

Look around.

That's good.

What's up, Dark?

What are we doing?

Moving towards the exits.

Red alert.

Dark, you're panicking?

Yeah, well, we are also headed towards the all-week.

I hope so that they're not going to just toss in a couple of other dumb dumbs, huh?

Other dum-dums?

What do you mean?

Yo, who's the first dum-dum?

Floyd and I want some answers.

First of all, what's happening?

Uh-huh.

Second of all,

huh?

And third,

what's your favorite instrument in a parade?

Okay, AJ, Floyd, I think there's something we should tell you.

Your instrument.

Yeah, absolutely.

Enjoy a pickle.

I love a trellone.

Yeah.

All good answers.

I like the Morzophone.

I always thought it was kind of cool how it wraps around your head a couple times.

Only the geeks believe Morseophone.

He's such a Morseophone.

So, Floyda.

What's up?

There's really no good way to say this.

What's up?

What's up?

What's up?

You know?

What's up?

Did you're planning to get those commercials?

Yeah, we did.

What up?

What's up?

Okay, no, sorry.

Floyda, Floyd, Floyd.

You're in danger.

The Phoenices want to toss you into the all-wheed.

What?

Floyda, they want to use you as some sort of lap girl.

Wait, they're gonna eat me?

No, no.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, they're gonna eat Floyd?

No, Floyd.

No, they're gonna feed Floyda to the big, loud, scary thing.

Oh, what gives?

Ah, okay, see, that made sense.

Okay, we're gonna get through.

Listen, Floyd, you gotta get out of here.

We'll help you get off the ship.

Pleck, don't look her in the eye and make her that kind of promise.

We don't even know how we're getting off the ship.

Swear to me.

Swear to me, you get me out of here.

Floyd, we swear to you, we will get you out of here.

Okay, AJ.

Get that gun out of your mouth.

I like it.

Stop sucking on it.

So meddly.

Excuse me, excuse me.

Everyone, please gather in the lecture hall.

The presentation is about to begin.

Presentation?

Hmm.

I may have an idea.

Okay.

The best ideas from our brightest minds.

Phoenix,

a subsidiary of Phoenix Talks.

Phoenixes and Phoenixes.

Welcome.

The moment we have been waiting for is Fungal Skill.

Phoenixes, if I may have your attention.

Ooh, and they're listening.

They'll listen to someone they consider.

Yeah, we get it.

We get it.

We're a bunch of Floydas in a Venus world.

I'm afraid you're planning as one fatal flaw.

What's we getting that I have a flood?

It's not a flaw, the fatality is planned.

You cannot kill Floydas

or Floyd.

intelligent.

Easily done by simple intelligence

couldn't answer.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I can answer that question.

Baby, don't hurt me.

Oh, that's easy.

Love is so many things.

It's candy and the good kind of bubble gum and chasing a butterfly and I don't know, maybe when you least expect it, you meet a muscle-bound parade lover who has the best tasting gun you've ever sucked on.

Now I understand what love is!

There's There's so much Floyders can teach us.

That Floyder was a genius.

We can't fire this Floyder into the Allweed.

Can't you just fire the sensors at the Allweed?

No, it has to be attached to something.

Like, here, let me take it off this dummy shaped like a Floyder that we've been testing it on.

The same weight and the same height.

Wait a second, wait a second.

What is it, Venus?

All we have to do is put the Floyder-shaped mannequin into the Floyder launcher and launch that into the Allweed.

Dr.

Venus Canonoma!

You

We don't need to use a living Floyd at all.

Where have you been?

Oh, I was in my lab.

Floyd, so you were saying that you were in love with somebody who is into parades and candy and butterflies?

Yeah.

Well,

hope you find him.

But he probably died, you know, chances are on Jagnar.

Yeah, but you know my favorite kind of parade?

Yeah, and they have candy.

You are so right.

Alright, let's head out.

Hey, Jay, we can't be here until Barbie shows up.

Oh, no, I care.

Bargie!

I never left.

Hey, Bargie, you've been here the whole time?

Yeah, I just wasn't pulling focus.

Wait, but we literally did this whole, like, thing because we were afraid we couldn't get off the ship.

Yeah, and then if I got involved, if it wouldn't have gotten worse,

then it would have been viral.

And I just, you know, I'm in the early stages of my development career, and I don't want anything.

I deleted all of my soch, by the way.

Wow.

Strangely enough, Bargie's right.

We've just taken Floyd off the ship.

These fetuses we never learned from love.

Wow.

Can you guys get a lab?

Find a lab, guys.

Okay.

Floyd, are you gonna be okay on this ship?

Floyd, I think you should come with that.

What if they change their minds?

Hello, Floyd.

Would you like some gum?

I think I'm gonna be just fine, guys

I'm doing another hatch to hatch I'll uh

we're dating now

what you and Tuner's 11

that's me looks like we got a lot in common.

I don't like to talk anymore.

They don't like to talk anymore.

We just silently juck

that wait that's what a hatch to hatch is I thought it was just a weird docking protocol.

No, no, no, it's it's sexier than that.

Wow, I led eight sexual midship.

Nice word to be proud.

Way to go, Captain Darth.

Hey, AJ, break out those cigars.

No, they're just for when I do my Bartey impression.

Alright, you know what is the thing?

People who don't pool focus, they disappear.

Nobody remembers them.

And I want to be remembered.

No one was going to remember.

I want to be remembered, and in order to do that, you need to be very loud.

Oh, boy.

Bargie, we're literally in you.

We remember that we can't.

We can't forget that.

Anyway, I am back on Soshmeads.

And I said something very controversial.

Oh, yeah?

How controversial?

Just take a look.

Floyd should have died.

Wow, Margie.

Why would you post something like that?

I am.

Margie, can you turn down the

checkroom music?

No.

Oh, we have a voice.

It's coming through.

Anyway, continue talking about what it is you talk about.

I'm gonna.

There's a fire in my back.

Oh, wow.

Yikes.

I spoke way too loudly.

Bring up, Nermit.

Oh, yeah.

I cannot wait to tell Nermit what a great job we did.

Okay.

Yeah, you guys will get back together.

What?

Oh, thanks.

What?

Did I...

Hey, guys, congratulations on the mission.

Congratulations, Captain.

So just send that victorious footage on over soon.

We needed the kind of grin and grab footage of the rescue for promo reel for Sisu's plan.

I don't know if it was the kind of rescue where you do that.

It was the kind of rescue where you, you know, you lay the groundwork for a caste system to be peacefully disassembled.

Are we going to tell them that we forgot or what?

And we did make a couple dozen people respect the power of logistics.

Yes, that's.

Yeah.

I mean, you can't capture that in a logo.

That's great.

I'm going to mark this as a failure, technically.

Wait, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

It was a successful mission, Nerman.

We saved the Jekni population.

Yeah, and Floyd had got gum.

Listen, hey, I didn't hatch to hatch.

Guys, I'm proud of you for all of that.

It was a very good hatch.

It was a deep connection.

Oh, I have footage of that.

Yeah, I think that's not.

I'm so sorry.

In our hearts, this can be a victory just on the paperwork, and according to Sisu, it's gonna be a failure.

Nermit, no,

no, no,

you have time to make that

Nermit, we'll see you later.

Alright.

You know, guys, uh,

I felt like that was a pretty big adventure we just went on, but uh,

you know, failed mission sort of feels like there weren't a whole lot of ramifications to this one, you know?

It's not always about the ramifications.

I guess that's true.

What was that?

Uh,

you guys didn't hear that?

Hear what?

What are you talking about?

Chuck.

Mission Desix is a proud member of the Maximum Fun Network.

All right, Adam, Maximum Fun wants us to record like a promo to tell people that they should listen to the greatest generation.

You want to do that?

No, I am tired of all the extra work.

I just wanted to talk about Star Trek with my friend.

I think it would be good to like try and get some new listeners by appealing to the audiences of other shows.

Like this will will only take a minute or two.

It could be good for us.

We sit down for an hour every week and talk about a Star Trek episode and make a bunch of idiotic fart jokes about it.

It's embarrassing.

If it got out that we made this show, I think it would make us unemployable.
