It's episode 72, and our squad of scrambled eggs are trying desperately to figure out who they can trust and who they can't, and the Gordion knot of it all will probably never be untangled, not that any of this crew have any notion what a Gordion knot is when it's at home.  Good luck to us all.  You've been listening to: Eric Perry as Joe and Howard Sarah Golding as Mrs Sheffield David S Dear as Tiberius June Clark Eubanks as the Albatros Aaron Clark as Ben Richard Cowen as Leet Kevin Hall as Greg and Felonius Tim Sherburn as Colin and Emily Bonnie Brantley as Jessie Lee Shackleford as Pluto Shannon Perry as Madeline Kyle Jones as Narrator 2, and Richard Nadolny as your Narrator Our theme and other music is composed and performed by John Faley.

It's Spring 2142 (a Tuesday), and Gated Galaxies has launched its 400 Oz-8000 ships, each carrying 50,000 "resting guests" to, hopefully, a new home on a shiny, brand-new planet. Except this whole "terraform and take over" idea isn't actually the plan; the real plan is far more nefarious and involves a great deal of cackling. But those aboard the ships don't know that, so off they toodle (those that make it out of Earth's atmosphere, at least), all shiny and optimistic. This is the story of one of those ships – the Oz 9 – and its tiny crew of hopeless incompetents. So far, they've been in space half an hour and several hundred people are dead. So... bright future, clearly.
