Transcript

It is a period of civil war.

The rebellion against the sinister and corrupt Federated Alliance grows stronger, and the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.

Now, rebel emissary Pleck Dexeta and his intrepid crew travel the farthest reaches of the galaxy to explore astounding new worlds, discover their heroic destinies, and meet weird bug creatures and stuff.

This

is mission to

zinc.

Hey, Bargie.

Yeah.

When C-53 and Dar and I go on missions, what exactly do you do while we're gone?

What do I do?

Yeah, like you go meet up with friends or I'm working on my career 24-7 8-9.

That's great.

Oh, yeah, good.

I have a game plan.

I have goals, and I'm doing things to reach those goals.

Oh, great.

And currently, Bino is helping me.

Uh, oh.

We're working on a web series.

What?

What's the series about?

It's about Bino and Baji and the things that they do and the other people about.

Slice of life, Bino.

We have a clip.

Okay.

Film in front of a live studio audience.

Beethoven, what's with all this garbage on the floor?

Didn't I tell you to clean up after yourself?

Beato thought garbage day was yesterday.

Beato, I hear you going out on a date.

Beano had two dates on the same night.

Beato and Bargi, Budgie, Beano, Beano and Baji.

Rogie, did you hire a studio audience to be inside you for the show?

You know, you guys are gone for hours at a time.

But still, how do you load them all in and load them all out?

Be no love, grounded comedy.

That seems...

I mean, is it grounded though, Bino?

I mean, how many dates have you been on?

Been a wove comedy that's not really funny, but just sort of somebody's life.

Be no love that.

Okay,

you can love that, but that's not really what that web series is.

You had a joke about Garbage Day.

Garbage Day was yesterday, but be no, no, no.

Whatever, it's not for you.

Clearly, this is not for you.

Someone will see it and they'll be like, you know what?

Bargie, she's doing some work.

Oh, wow.

Tiny Toots.

Oh, no.

See, that's what I like to see.

Bargie can work with an axe.

Yeah.

I guess that's good.

Bargie, you're sort of burying the hatchet with Tiny Toots.

Anyway, moving along.

Okay.

Yeah, I really said that as a way to just segue into my own update.

Oh, what's your update, Dar?

Nerman and I have decided that we can be friends and co-workers.

Wow, a name has risen.

Wow.

That's great.

Dar, Nermit and I decided that also, but just because we are friends and co-workers.

That's beautiful.

That wasn't actually very happy.

That wasn't super relevant, I guess.

You know, Pleck, if you ever do have conflicted feelings about Nermit, you should write them down.

That's what I do.

And then I burn it in a small fire where I like to see all of my emotions just flare up and turn to ash.

A controlled burner, of course.

Emissary Dixoner, I have an incoming transmission from Missions Operations Manager Nermit Buckalog.

Hey, Nermit.

Hey, guys.

Oh, Nermit.

Oh, Nermit.

Hey, buddy.

Hey, hey, hey.

Nermit, are you at the gym?

Oh, sorry.

Yeah, I've got my uh remote transmitter here.

I just, I just did a spin class with Sisu Gundu, and it was,

oh, man, it's good.

Well, yeah.

Uh, I just gotta say, you know, Sisu's not really great about like breakups.

I wouldn't hang out with

the light.

And it's fine because Dara and I are friends now, and just like about like doing it for yourself, just looking out for

huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let me just get out of this wheel.

Why don't you check this?

Okay, check it fast.

What are you chugging?

Nermit, what are you chugging?

This is, oh, it looks like it's super vity.

Oh, it tastes like damn.

I feel good that I'm finally thinking about me.

Right, Darn, like you're probably doing the same thing.

Oh, she's lighting a fire.

Oh.

Hmm.

Yes.

Uh, you.

Okay, you know.

What do you do?

Put that out.

It's contained.

I don't, I don't think you should be burning things in the trash can.

Yes.

contained as my feelings are contained right now.

Sure, but this is an oxygen-rich environment.

Setting boundaries.

Okay, fine.

Let's get out of my

wheel, okay?

So, guys, this is what?

Nothing.

I can't ride a bike.

You can ride a small bike.

Okay.

So, yes, there's a mission.

It's actually crazy.

You're going to a planet like you're regularly going to a planet, but a lot of time...

What?

Nothing.

Okay.

Seems like you can skip that.

Yeah.

No, I can skip it.

Nermit, if any part of the mission is exactly the same as every other mission, you can just start with the part that's different.

You guys are flying in bars.

How much of this is written down?

No, I just...

I'm just excited because, like, I'm obviously, you know know that I'm a musician.

Uh

have you guys heard of Manonaru?

Have we heard of

the famous music festival that exists?

Well, I don't know.

I don't know, but you guys are busy, so okay.

You're going to Mananaru on Mana.

And

our mission is to go to a music festival.

More specific, you're going to go see Peeny Gorno.

Peeny Gourneau.

Yeah.

Probably the hottest pop musician in the galaxy.

Uh, yeah.

You're gonna

Wait, our mission is to get backstage to a Peeny Gorno concert?

Yeah.

Nerman, are you about to get murdered again?

What?

Are you about to get murdered again?

Wait, wait, wait.

I was not murdered.

You were

safe.

You were almost murdered.

This is a real mission.

No, this seems very similar to the vacation Atoll with

Fantasia Fun Fun.

Listen.

No, no, no.

Peeny Gorno, who, as we know, despite the amazing music that Peeny Gorno makes, has had some affiliation with the Alliance in the past, which you know you maybe have to do to make your career work.

But

Peeny Gorno is now on the side of the rebellion.

Oh, really?

Yes.

Does that matter when it comes to music?

No, Peeny Gorno is going to give us information.

Peany Gorno isn't.

I don't like his music.

You're saying

the hot take.

I don't like his music.

Bargie, what's not to like about Peeny Gorno?

Okay, he cranks out the jams, Bargie.

I think the more important

So, the plan is for us to go to a concert.

Yes,

I love the name Peeny Gorno.

I love saying it.

Peeny Gorno.

Okay.

Do you want to say it once more if you

okay?

He pinched his nips when he

yeah, Bino, please don't touch your nipples when you say Pini Gorno.

Gorno.

You have received an audio transmission from Rebellion Headquarters.

Playback will follow decryption.

Greetings, Rebels.

This is LaTalu, Pran, Bronzal Misk, and Heather.

We are the Rebellion's expert cupbreakers.

But well, uh.

We've intercepted a brand new message that we just can't crack.

And they've, you know, shamed us into making this announcement, admitting our failure.

I need is a real head scratcher.

Just can't make heads or tails of it.

And so here we are, hat in hand, asking any rebel to help us decode it.

We know its origin is Quantaris, though, which means this is a big deal.

We've uploaded it to the Rebellion's official website, the Rebellion.space, built with Squarespace.

I mean, we have zero experience in web design, and we were going to build this this site, like, really fast.

Way simpler than code breaking, let me tell you.

Check it out at TheRebellion.space, and please grab that pesky, incredibly important encoded message while you're there.

When you're there, click make a site, which links to squarespace.com/slash zix, where you'll find this amazing offer.

A free Squarespace trial and a special discount on your first purchase of a site or domain using the code Zix, Z-Y-X-X.

Turn your cool idea into a new website, showcase your workers, sell products and services of all kinds.

Uh, yeah, a service like, you know, code breaking.

After you crack open that message at the rebellion.space, please, honestly, just give us a hand.

Please help us.

And don't forget to make your own site at squarespace.com/slash zix off of code zigz.

You were late on that.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Okay.

One more time?

One more time.

Zix.

It was my fault.

It was my fault.

It was my fault.

End of message.

I've never been to Minataru.

This is about what I expected.

I have to say, though, the three of us look amazing in flower crowns.

Yeah.

Oh, my rad, oh, my rad, oh my rad.

Are you so excited?

I'm so excited.

Are you so excited?

I'm so excited.

We're here to see Gastille Minot.

She's incredible.

She's like the best voice and stuff.

She's like, she's incredible.

She's in in brown.

She's incredible.

Yeah, I like good still buttons music.

It's really good.

Oh, man.

You want some hot sludge, C53?

I don't care what I do.

It's just a classic festival treat, you know?

Feel free to unheal yourself.

Yeah, I'll take some hot sludge.

Okay,

what color?

Oh, green, man.

Hey guys, what's up?

Not much.

Join the festival.

Dust it out of our junking minds.

Oh, man.

Hey, um, Sam O'Wing, can I talk to you guys for a second?

Yeah, sure.

I just wanted to, you know, sort of offer.

Yeah, sort of a side.

Okay, whatever, man.

So are you going to buy the Hawks Lud or not?

This one's on us, buddy.

Okay, thanks.

What's up, man?

You guys know we're here on a mission, right?

Oh, no way.

Oh,

the thing is about us.

But you guys know everything about us.

How did you not know?

The thing is that sometimes we don't have time to pay attention to you because we have our own stuff going on.

We got a lot of stuff, though.

This is our check-in vacation, man.

Okay, yeah.

Who are you guys here to see?

Who aren't we here to see, man?

We're here to see the noobs.

The noobs.

The little George.

Giant Bang Bang.

Giant Bang Bang never tours.

It's amazing that they're doing this.

And Huss and Fever.

Hust and fever.

Man, I have never felt so old in my whole life.

Oh, there's a bright

No,

what are you talking about now?

It's just that I didn't know any of those artists, and I didn't even want to do dust because

maybe a concert.

Uh yeah, you I am bouncing bot 4000.

Oh, hey, got it, Bassett Backstage.

Bro,

you see.

Peany Corno.

Peaney.

Excellent.

So hot right now.

Now, do you think he's hot, like attractive?

Initiating,

allowing protocol.

It's a real basic droid.

What was that?

Peanut, we're doing it.

Oh, I chuck and love this man.

I chuck and love this.

I chuck and love this man.

This is the chucking life, love.

That was a lot of dust.

And he see how he's like crawling the walls right now?

Yeah.

Excuse me.

Uh, yeah.

Excuse me.

Hey, yeah.

You to chuck let you in my room.

Oh, uh, hey, yeah.

You just yell at the bouncer to let us since I'm making it you, the jerk who let us in here.

Um, listen, Mr.

Gorno, we we're here with the rebellion.

Okay.

Did you think I was shushing you?

Did you think I was juking shooshing you?

No, I don't know.

I mean, it sounded like you were telling us to be quiet, but you're trying to spin non-existent

scratch right now.

Look, look, loves, I'm real jocking, chucked up right now, and I just need uh, where's my water camera?

Pino, uh, here we go.

Uh, again, we have a very cool schedule today, so you can't really mess around, alright?

Miranda, come here.

Call me a look at me, Miranda.

Hey, but you have a VIP section, you have a QA, you have uh to sign autographs.

You don't have time to do it.

I don't want to jump and do this, I just want to have a good time.

Look at me, I'm on the table!

On the table!

Hi, I'm Miranda.

I'm as excited manager.

Uh hi there.

Uh

hi, uh, Emissary Pleck Deck Center.

Uh, we were sent uh by the rebellion.

Now, are you shushing us or are you trying to DJ again?

Close the door.

Alright, but I hear you crashing.

I'm coming back in.

Hey,

Peeny.

Oh, my rod.

I could finally take a breather.

Wait, Peeny, that accent is fake?

100%.

Yes.

But couldn't you be honest with your assistant manager?

She clearly has an affection for you.

She refers to you as Pino.

Yeah, she definitely trusts you.

You have a working relationship with me.

You have a portmanteau for your name.

You understand something.

First of all, everybody mispronounces Peeny, okay?

It's what you get when your name is Peeny.

But

people think I'm this crazy,

stuck-up pop star.

I'm just a normal gully guy with gully fins.

And I'm, you know, I just want to relax.

That's cool, man.

Yeah, yeah, you know, you seem like a real sort of salt of the space dude, and you know, like I came in here, you're doing that big line of dust.

How are you feeling, by the way?

I am

literally exploding.

My brain and my genitals are just vibrating.

Hey, can I get you guys anything?

Dust,

yogurt covered raisins.

I'm having some green sludge, and it is hitting the spot.

Oh, green, huh?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good choice.

Yeah, I mean, I wouldn't say no to a raisin.

Okay,

Just one raisin, Dar?

Yeah, I don't.

I don't know why I said that.

Wait, Dar.

Do I know you?

Um.

Maybe.

Didn't you used to go by norm?

Wait, how do you know that?

I...

I'm Norm, but I don't...

I don't remember a peeny.

Oh, well, I...

I went by...

I...

I went by Peter back then.

Yeah.

Peter.

Yeah.

Oh, that's right, of course, Peter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Wow.

You guys know each other?

Yeah.

We used to go to this George R.R.

Martian convention called R.R.

R.R.R.

Are You Excited for the convention?

Yeah.

Huh.

Wow.

Those were

so fun.

I never missed a single one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, well, you look good.

You look different.

Yeah, yeah, I got a giant fin as a mohawk.

Huh?

It looks cool.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's so great to see you again, Peter.

Yeah, yeah, I was Peter back then.

You changed your name?

Well, that, you know,

I'm just trying to make it in this business.

Peter is such like an ugly name, you know.

Well, Peter is a euphemism for a penis sometimes.

Yeah.

So penis much better.

You definitely avoiding that.

Oh, look who it is.

It's my hobbies with the body.

Oh I'll sign it, I'll sign it.

Oh my god, Teenie, I love you set.

Yeah, Daiyuki, what was your favorite song?

I say oh I love Bill Bop.

Oh yeah.

Bill Bop is so great.

Yeah and you didn't think that was like to do that up top?

You think then that was crazy?

It was an interesting choice, but I loved it.

Oh no this time like are you a garner or what?

Spash on your face.

Alright.

Oh yeah, yeah.

Oh, I love me, fans.

I love me joking fans.

You guys are rolling awesome.

I don't know.

This seems.

I don't know.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, he seems to be.

Alright, alright, alright.

Get the junk out of here.

Miranda!

Miranda, get these jokes out of here!

You're on the stage very, very soon.

Oh, wow.

You're playing again?

Yeah.

This is Monanaru, alright?

Sure.

Well, uh.

You know, Peeny,

we're actually here.

Um,

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, the, the, the information.

Yes, yes.

All right.

Should I

ask you

something?

Uh,

I'm working on, I'm working on some new stuff, and uh, you're with the rebellion.

I feel like you guys could give me like an honest

take on these songs.

I've been surrounded by yes gullies all the time.

What were we saying?

Yes, yes.

If I sang some new songs, do you think you could give me honest feedback on them?

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, yeah, that really means a lot to me.

Thank you.

Fantastic.

Alright, so this new stuff is called

Space Town.

No.

Okay.

Space town going to

me and my friend, you know it's true.

We got galaxies all around us.

Sexy star ladies, don't you know it's good to be a space guy in a space town?

Wow, that is now.

Do you want the feedback now?

No, darling.

Or should we just do all the songs at once and then we'll give you the feedback at the end?

I want your feedback on that song right now.

Okay.

It's a little different than most of your stuff that I've heard.

Yeah.

Yeah, it sort of feels as though it was written by somebody much younger than you.

It feels simple.

Well, did you not understand?

I want to say, I completely disagree with my two friends here, and I loved it.

Really?

Dar.

Don't change a thing.

Let's hear the next song.

You're literally laughing in his face, Dar.

I want to believe you, but you literally are just laughing.

Do you not like Space Town?

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I couldn't help myself.

Do you guys think I reference space too much?

Yeah, that might be the issue.

I mean, just running away from the music.

Okay,

it's a pretty big percentage of the

space.

In Peeney's defense, I mean, he's from space.

Yeah, we're all in space.

Yeah, so, you know, know, I have noticed that.

I like this guy.

Yeah.

I don't know, Pinea, it's a kind of earworm.

I'm thinking about it.

Space guy, yeah.

Space tail.

Space tail going to space.

I think there's something

and you're not lying to me, right?

You're being completely honest.

You're not just saying that because I have secret plans and you're just giving me positive feedback so you can get these plans.

No, I mean, I'd say I would.

Well, you know what?

What would be a good way is you can tell us the secret plans, and then we know for sure whether we, you know, we're being honest with you or

all right, metalhead.

Chuck me, chuck me right now.

We have a very special young child who's here to meet you.

We got a contest.

Little,

little Bill.

Hello?

Little Bill.

Little Bill, you gotta speak a l he's gonna speak a little louder.

I don't really have ears because I'm a gully guy.

Can you come a little closer, love?

I'm terminally ill.

Wait, wait, little Bill, say that again.

Oh, no.

No, Peeny, please, Peeny.

I'm little Bill.

No, no, he's not.

I'm not terminally ill.

Hey, Rob.

It rhymes.

It rhymes.

Hey, robot, boy.

That beat you said you could get.

Play that beat.

You got it.

I beg you not to do this.

Little Bill, see what you just said to me.

I'm little Bill.

I'm terminally ill.

I'm little Bill.

I'm terminally ill.

Space

Towns.

Same way to early

space.

Guys.

Yeah, I wouldn't tell you.

Listen to me.

These two tracks that

build this beautifully out of the way.

Okay,

Peeny, listen, I was really...

I was almost on board when it seemed like you were about to write a song for Little Bill, but then when I realized you were using, you were gonna, you were gonna use him saying he was terribly ill as a sample for your Space Town song.

That's the thing about me.

I'm here music anywhere at all times.

Can I get a holograph or something?

Alright, thank you, Lil.

Okay, all right, thank you.

Bye.

Bye, little Bill.

Get out.

Thank you for the song.

Rod bless you, little Bill.

Oh, my.

Rod.

Oh, I

hate this job.

Can I ask you a question, Peeny?

Why do you do the accent?

You see,

growing up, as you know, I was part of the Garno Six.

Yeah, the Gorno Six, great band.

They were.

Gorno Six were great.

Me and my brothers.

Those were the days, but

my father...

Go Gorno

every day he would just whip us into shape tell us how to perform.

I knew deep down that I didn't want to do this, and one day my dad pulled me aside and he says, if you want to survive in this business, you need to create a fake identity, and that is how you'll survive.

So that is what Peeny Garneau is.

It's a creation, and it makes me live this

tough life.

Yeah, yeah.

But Peter, Peter wants something else, right?

And it's Peeny who wants all the dust.

Peeny wants the dust.

Peter just wants...

Anyway, let's get to what I'm here to talk about.

Yes, sure.

I think that would be.

Alright.

Last week, I was hanging out with the council.

It was in the council of seven.

It was a big gala event.

People love a good peony party.

Sure.

So I threw the biggest party in town.

Invited all the big wigs there.

You invited the Council of Seven to one of your parties?

That's right.

Wow.

They got my E-vites.

Cool.

Six showed up.

That's pretty good.

Six out of seven.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I had an extra pair of ears listening to what they were saying.

Can I play you something?

Is it a recording of the conversation you had with the council?

No, it's like a new track I've been working on, and it's in the back of my mind.

I really want you to hear it.

Can you just please, please?

Yes.

no, yeah, absolutely, absolutely.

Okay, let me just put this in.

Moons, moons, moons, moons, moons.

How many moons does it take to get to the next moon?

So many moons in space, and every planet has at least five moons.

Why does it take so long to get to the other moon when you're already on the moon?

so did you like that?

Wait, that's the wow.

Wow.

I'm pretty sure we've been to planets with fewer than five moons.

I mean, there's just I mean, don't you think it's like

a metaphor?

Yes.

That's not how you should respond if I ask if it's a metaphor.

Yes, thank you.

Finally, someone who gets it.

I don't know that I.

Oh my god, this is.

Yeah.

You get it.

Okay.

How many moons does it take to get to the next moon?

It's amazing, though, that you were able to create a song out of literally nothing.

Peeny, can I ask you, is this the process you use to write your big hits like Comic Girl and

producers write those lyrics?

Sure.

And then I just lie and say that I wrote them.

But what you're hearing right now is the first time that I wrote my own music.

And this is what music is.

No, no, no.

no, but but you like it, you like it.

Wow,

I have

to tell you the plans,

yes, and it's great, and it's great.

You know what?

Can I just play you one more song?

Uh,

sure, yeah, sure.

Sure, I love this attitude.

This is called knobs and switches.

All right,

This knob

is too big.

I don't understand what it does.

This switch is a little too short.

I probably shouldn't touch it.

I'm flying on a spaceship and I honestly don't know what I'm doing here.

I think it's best that I just sit back and kind of just hope that I get to my destination.

Did you just write this on your tour ship?

This sounds like you were in the back of your tour ship just looking around, trying to figure out how to write a song.

Sure, you know the expression, write what you know.

Sure.

Well, what about if you wrote what you saw?

That's less good.

That's less good.

Can I

play you just one more song?

Okay.

Yeah, yeah.

You know what?

Sure.

We're in it for a lot of holidays.

Stars and lasers.

Stars and lasers.

All I see is stars and lasers.

Stars and lasers.

Stars and lasers.

Some are big.

Okay.

Wow.

Did you like how I ended the song?

Just kind of remind her.

Yeah.

I don't think that's a thing that happens in songs.

Yeah, I think there's a reason that that doesn't happen.

Dar any opinions on this one?

Um, I just feel like

maybe Peter isn't the pop star.

That's Peeny.

Peter's just a sweet, nerdy, gully guy who left the music business and loves fantasy novels.

Peter, are you

crying?

No, Peeny.

My entire life I've been living a lie.

I've been living a peeny lie.

You know what?

Thank you.

You know what?

You inspired me.

I'm gonna go out there and I am going to perform not as Peeny, but perform as Peter.

Well,

these people paid a lot of money to see Peeny, so I know.

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

No,

there's a Peter behind this Peeny, and these people need to see the real Peter.

You know what?

That's great.

But before you do that, that,

could we just get the information?

Okay, yeah.

Closer than now?

Just a little bit closer.

At the peanut party,

I overheard that the council.

leave?

I'll leave.

Sorry,

just is

something to get off me, uh,

my gills.

The verge wasn't good enough.

Uh, do you have everything that you need for me?

No, no, it's not anything that I need.

Well, you're in love with me.

No.

Oh, hey, nope, never mind, not that.

Next that idea was not.

I never said that.

I is that something

that we want to talk about?

Nope.

Talk about what?

Stay strong, Peter.

Talk about.

Well, well, okay, well, whoa.

I mean to tell you that

my name isn't Peeny.

It's Peter.

And this is my real voice.

What?

I'm.

I've been working

for you for nearly ten years now.

Wait, you've been lying to me this whole time.

I've been doing the most unfathomable tasks for you.

I'd have to divorce your wife.

I got rid of your children.

I got rid of you.

Got rid of your children?

It was.

You do not know the situation, alright?

And you're telling me this attire job was a lie?

Wait.

No, but let's not change the subject.

What about those children?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, that was...

I do not want to go back there.

Well, I'll guess I'll leave.

I don't work for liars.

She got rid of his kids, but she doesn't work for liars?

Look, what does that mean?

How do you get rid of kids?

Hey,

she's a good person, all right?

I didn't say so.

She's a good person.

I don't know, that seems pretty questionable.

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know.

You don't know her.

All right.

Now, let's hear this intel.

All right.

I overheard at the peanut party

that the council

plans

on coming to Zix.

What?

The council is gonna come from Cron Canaris to Zix.

Liberty to everyone's.

Okay, great.

Alright, guys, this is gonna be huge.

Thank you for inspiring me.

Space dab, here we go.

Oh, oh,

Y'all,

welcome to Minata Room.

Hi, everybody.

It's us, Sam Owink.

Why are they introducing

the main stage?

How's everyone doing?

Who wants dust?

Alright, guys.

Well, we're gonna do it anyway.

Ha ha ha ha.

Give it up for your next act.

Peace.

Thank you, thank you.

Shut up, shut up, shut up, thank you, shut up, shut up, all of you.

Thank you and shut up.

Shut up.

Before I begin, I have a very important announcement for all my peens out there.

Shut up.

Peens, listen up.

My name is Peter Gorneau.

I was born in South Lonimer's.

That's right.

This accent is fake.

He's really going for it.

And I'm performing the music that I want to perform because yes, Peter Gorno can survive in this industry.

Hopefully.

All right.

Oh, Nippy, I feel like this is going to backfire.

Fans, this next is an original Peter Gorno song.

We should go.

Pleck for once, I agree with your instincts.

One, two,

one, two, three, four.

Message deleted.

The council is headed to the Zig Squadron.

That can't be a good sign.

I managed to grab some sludge for everybody.

Oh, huh?

Thanks, Star.

Yeah, silver lining.

Hey, Nermit.

Hey, guys.

Ah, ah.

Nermit, what yeah,

hurting yourself something?

Well, I just have a stress fracture.

I fell out of my wheel and I, um,

I think I went a little too hard.

I don't know if the Sisu Gundu school of uh breakups is really the way to go, but yeah, you gotta you gotta take it easy.

Yeah, I I actually snapped a

Pimi Gorno was party to a conversation with most of the Council of Seven were the yeah, that's great, that's great.

What's happening?

What do we got?

They're coming to the sixth squadron.

Uh, no, presumably to crush the rebellion.

Uh

it's not looking great.

I have to deliver this news.

I mean, on one hand, it's great that we're the team that figured out this exciting, terrible.

That feels like

way less cool than it is bad.

Is this a bad time to interrupt?

There's a new episode of Budgie and Beano.

Nermit is in an episode of the Super.

Why did you shoot this?

He doesn't know.

And to the clip.

Beato and Budgie, Budgie and Beano, Beato and Budgie.

one of the live studioities.

Beato, if you're pregnant, just tell me.

I'm just saying, I'm your friend.

You can tell me anything you want, except if you got gas.

Okay,

What are you doing?

What?

Get out!

Get out!

This is up.

Sorry.

You're not supposed to.

Sorry.

You're not eating signed.

You need a contract.

I don't.

I didn't have.

Nobody gave me a contract.

Be no, buddy.

Buddy.

anyway that was it that was originally on episode

that's a very bad episode beanu love it I honestly guys I'm honored to be in the episode I didn't I didn't know that

you just wake up and wander into the recording yeah yeah I was trying to sneak into Dar's room and they happened to be filming at night and I but I look good on screen right

beanu think that the camera adds me

Fifteen pounds?

Fifteen pounds?

I weigh two and a half pounds.

Beano now.

What are the view counts on that series at this current state?

Be no.

Be no no.

Be no love analytics.

Be no love them.

Emissary Dicksiter, it's worth mentioning that our backstage passes to Mononaru give us access to the live feed from the concert stages if you'd care to enjoy the remainder of the concerts.

Oh, sure, yeah, absolutely.

absolutely.

We missed most of Jordan McCorkin's set, but I believe he's just coming back to the stage for an awkward.

Oh, wow, I'll watch that.

All right,

y'all sure do know how to make a simple boy from Outer Gains, bro, feel

real welcome.

We got one more for you.

Save some of that energy for those rebels.

We're gonna be sticking lots of boots up their asses, if you know what I mean.

Right, damn, bless the FA.

That's my beautiful crow Federated Alliance.

Speaking of the Council, I have it on authority that they're about to bring the hammer down on those rebels here in the Sixth Quadrant.

In fact, they might just be on their way this very moment, each one in their own plan to crush them.

Ow, this

seems very similar to Petroleum.

Matter of fact, they're gonna be here in exactly three weeks, and at that time, the rebels will be no more.

A new season of the Federated Alliance will rise again.

Not right away.

Maybe three or four months after that, we'll be ready.

That's why I wrote this song.

Here we go.

Wow, that's very detailed.

Wow, so I can just update them about the actual day.

Yeah, for the coming

much more involved.

Yeah, we actually did not meet Pinnigorno

at all.

This is patriotism bordering on treason, really.

There's no accounting for taste.
