                                         Due to a pandemic in a quadrant far from Zix, the MaxFun drive has been postponed.
                                         
                                         More details about the drive are at the end of this episode.
                                         
                                         In times like this when society must come together, or in this case separate, for a common cause,
                                         
                                         we are reminded how lucky we are to be part of a community-supported operation like Maximum Fun.

                                         on the off chance that the absurd travails of a crew far away might comfort you during this trying time.
                                         
    
                                         Stay safe, stay fresh. We jucking love you.
                                         
                                         It is a time of chaos.
                                         
                                         Without a ruler, the galaxy is paralyzed by lawlessness, unrest, and of course, the colossal Oort.
                                         
                                         Which looks like a supernova hitting rock bottom.
                                         
                                         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 Zix. Hey, Captain Dark?
                                         
                                         Uh, what's going on?
                                         
    
                                         Do you notice there are a lot of, uh, people on the ship that are not us?
                                         
                                         I'm sorry?
                                         
                                         Uh, they're in the waiting room.
                                         
                                         Wait, why is there a sign that says waiting room on the loading dock?
                                         
                                         No, it's stupid.
                                         
                                         Wait, I'm sorry.
                                         
                                         There are other people here? I just, I've been, I've been supposed to do all this paperwork.
                                         
                                         I just, I haven't even had a chance to shower yet.
                                         
    
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         I just thought that you'd probably be the person I would.
                                         
                                         Now you're there for me.
                                         
                                         I should be the person that would know.
                                         
                                         Bargy, why are there people on the ship?
                                         
                                         They're taking meetings.
                                         
                                         We're doing a bunch of generals.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
    
                                         I'm in development now.
                                         
                                         We got a general on board?
                                         
                                         Fall in!
                                         
                                         General on board!
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Hey, Jim.
                                         
                                         General Swivel!
                                         
                                         That's not...
                                         
    
                                         Even if there were a general, that's not what you...
                                         
                                         Well, they're generals.
                                         
                                         No, no.
                                         
                                         A general in the entertainment biz lingo is when people without jobs come and pitch themselves to you,
                                         
                                         and then I, as a person in development, go,
                                         
                                         okay, wow, and then I never do anything about it.
                                         
                                         That's a general meeting.
                                         
                                         Okay, so there's no general involved?
                                         
    
                                         No.
                                         
                                         I mean, maybe there could be.
                                         
                                         That would be interesting.
                                         
                                         So the person who doesn't have a job is a general?
                                         
                                         If the general had a solid elevator pitch and a sweet log line.
                                         
                                         Could happen.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So I kink.
                                         
    
                                         I'm ready for you.
                                         
                                         So I kink.
                                         
                                         Okay, so here's the idea.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So it's a workplace dramedy.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         But everybody's a blorp.
                                         
                                         I've seen it.
                                         
    
                                         Oh.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Well, I have some other stuff.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         So it's a courthouse dramedy. Seen it. All right. Oh. Yeah. Uh, well, I have some other stuff. Okay. So, it's a courthouse remedy.
                                         
                                         Seen it.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Get some water.
                                         
    
                                         Thank you so much.
                                         
                                         Oh, thank you.
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
                                         Listen, Bargy, are these meetings going to be done pretty soon?
                                         
                                         I think we're going to need to get to the loading bay at some point.
                                         
                                         Let's see.
                                         
                                         Number five.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, that's me.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Hi.
                                         
                                         Hi. My name is Dampia Dillon
                                         
                                         Okay
                                         
                                         You know, I'm only taking this meeting because I know your father, right?
                                         
                                         Oh, really? You know Papa?
                                         
                                         Of course I know Papa
                                         
    
                                         Papa
                                         
                                         He is so sick
                                         
                                         He's on the bridge
                                         
                                         Yeah, but Bargy, the loading dock is the waiting room
                                         
                                         You could use the cargo hold for
                                         
                                         the meetings. We have to sort of
                                         
                                         do crew stuff out here.
                                         
                                         Thank you so much for doing the paperwork for me.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, wait.
                                         
                                         I thought this was for us.
                                         
                                         You're helping me.
                                         
                                         These are all NDAs.
                                         
                                         Oh. I just, I mean, I didn't
                                         
                                         really understand any of it. This is my first time as
                                         
                                         captain, so I just figured, you know, paperwork is paperwork.
                                         
                                         And I've been filling it out for hours.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, Darlitz, normally you're not going to have to do that much paperwork as captain.
                                         
                                         Well, I mean, I never saw Plek doing any paperwork.
                                         
                                         Yeah, so that's a good indication.
                                         
                                         Well, I just thought that was because I was Plek.
                                         
                                         Also, I wasn't the captain either.
                                         
                                         I wasn't the captain.
                                         
                                         Also, I wasn't the captain either. He wasn't the captain.
                                         
                                         Captain Dora, I have an incoming transmission from Temporary Emergency Emissarial Negotiations
                                         
    
                                         Missions Operations Manager, Nermin Bundeloy.
                                         
                                         All right, let's take that call.
                                         
                                         Hi, Nermin.
                                         
                                         Hey.
                                         
                                         Nermin, quick cue for you.
                                         
                                         Sure.
                                         
                                         How much paperwork am I supposed to be filling out as captain?
                                         
                                         We haven't sent any.
                                         
    
                                         Will you ever send any?
                                         
                                         I mean, I think in the papers, the paper is the future.
                                         
                                         So I guess possibly, but we haven't.
                                         
                                         I guess it would only be in the future.
                                         
                                         No, probably none.
                                         
                                         Probably none.
                                         
                                         She's not around.

                                         and we're going to get some temporary power so I can charge this up and get you the mission.

                                         Okay, Nermick, quick, while your brain still works, tell us the mission.

                                         Sisu Gundu needs to know how he achieved that.

                                         You better turn that crank again, Nermit.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         We should send him a hat or something.

                                         Yeah, it must be rough to have an idiot around, you know?
                                         
                                         AJ? Does anyone get the feeling we've been here before?
                                         
                                         Uh, I mean, I don't know.
                                         
                                         Are the coordinates familiar to you?
                                         
                                         I mean, it looks
                                         
                                         familiar, but these coordinates
                                         
    
                                         don't match anything in my database.
                                         
                                         I feel like this
                                         
                                         odd, grabbing sensation
                                         
                                         just feels so
                                         
                                         familiar.
                                         
                                         I've never been here.

                                         and I have been bracing for this
                                         
                                         and I knew that

                                         that I would be strong.

                                         I'm actually feeling a little sick right now
                                         
                                         just remembering it

                                         maybe it's the thought of having to face this
                                         
                                         shameful memory.

                                         It was really not.
                                         
    
                                         We never meant to.
                                         
                                         I mean, no, no, we meant to.
                                         
                                         I mean, at the time, sure, we were working for the Center for the Alliance.
                                         
                                         It was a very different time in our lives.
                                         
                                         I was a part of it.
                                         
                                         Yeah, you cool.
                                         
                                         But let me tell you something.
                                         
                                         It is the rushing waters under the Julian's fan.
                                         
    
                                         Do not worry.

                                         You have documents to sign to get rid of crime.
                                         
                                         I have many documents to sign to get rid of crime, and I'm going to do it.
                                         
                                         Now, these documents here, as you can see, everybody, are printed on old pornography.
                                         
    
                                         Yes.

                                         That's very nice for the environment.
                                         
                                         Yes. We don't use those
                                         
                                         for pornography anymore. We use it
                                         
                                         to make the laws and

                                         We were here before.
                                         
    
                                         Well, they're more pleasureous now than before.

                                         It's just so green and very lush.
                                         
                                         Very lush, isn't it?
                                         
                                         Wow.

                                         Whoa, it looks like there's a farm-to-table restaurant right over there.

                                         Well, it's actually table-to-farm.
                                         
                                         You take the table to the farm and you pick out what you want.
                                         
                                         You got your blee blarps and you know what's in season is the crayons right now.

                                         Turn your light around.
                                         
                                         Just taking this table.

                                         There you go.
                                         
                                         Oh, wow.
                                         
                                         I can get that for you.
                                         
                                         Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
    
                                         Table to farm, table to farm.
                                         
                                         Much has changed in the Zank system.
                                         
                                         Now, it was a horrible event that I have since forgiven you for, Plagg, when you blasted
                                         
                                         me into the cold vacuum of space.
                                         
                                         And I had time to reflect as all my particles reversed and all of the
                                         
                                         moisture in my body was extracted and taken out.
                                         
                                         As I felt my lungs go through my throat,
                                         
                                         that I would forgive you because what...
                                         
    
                                         Wait, so what was this guy before he was a Bruce Fett?
                                         
                                         He shot him in space, but what was he before?
                                         
                                         I didn't realize.
                                         
                                         I solicited...
                                         
                                         I mean, he took some of the people into space back in the day.
                                         
                                         I solicited flesh.
                                         
                                         I'm not proud of it.
                                         
                                         Oh, so you were a space pimp.
                                         
    
                                         That is a terrible
                                         
                                         word, yet on the money.
                                         
                                         But yes, that's what I

                                         How did I survive in space?
                                         
                                         I tilted my body to the right angle.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, that's it.

                                         It cost me.
                                         
                                         My body was
                                         
                                         crushed on impact.

                                         because to hold that mantle
                                         
                                         is not easy.
                                         
                                         It's not easy.

                                         Politics in the modern age.
                                         
                                         And it's hard to have the public trust and to be a servant of the people.
                                         
                                         But I have instituted and we now have 0% infant mortality rate.

                                         But at some point, right?
                                         
    
                                         Don't sleep forever, dog.

                                         Oh, well,
                                         
                                         that sounds really nice.
                                         
                                         Huh?
                                         
                                         Why is she quivering?
                                         
    
                                         This is most uneasing.
                                         
                                         I don't like it.
                                         
                                         It reminds me of my old life.
                                         
                                         Sure.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         All right, well, thank you, Prefect Intellius.
                                         
                                         Sorry, sorry, sorry about that.
                                         
                                         I'll get this under control.
                                         
    
                                         What is it you're on?
                                         
                                         You've got to get it together here.
                                         
                                         Are you all right?
                                         
                                         I'm actually feeling a lot better now.
                                         
                                         As you can see here, these former sex dungeons are now libraries.
                                         
                                         Well, still, I mean, not sort of a haven
                                         
                                         for perverts, as we've learned.
                                         
                                         Labraris.
                                         
    
                                         The internet connection
                                         
                                         is so strong.
                                         
                                         Wait, you've made labraris here with a
                                         
                                         strong internet connection? Yeah.
                                         
                                         That's unheard of.
                                         
                                         Uh, excuse me, Churbot, can I ask you a question?
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah. What happened between
                                         
                                         when you were a sexbot and, uh, now?
                                         
    
                                         I decided to go for higher education, using the money I had as a jet bot to focus on my own self-development.
                                         
                                         Oh, good for you.
                                         
                                         I can now speak four languages.
                                         
                                         A droid that only speaks four languages?
                                         
                                         I only used to know zero language.
                                         
                                         Ah, well, the language of love.
                                         
                                         So that is an improvement. How many do you speak?
                                         
                                         Me?
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         He barely speaks one.
                                         
                                         Thank you.
                                         
                                         I also like to think I speak the language of the space.
                                         
                                         As you can see outside, this used to be where all the animals exchanged genitalia.
                                         
                                         I don't think we came here when we were here before.
                                         
                                         Really?
                                         
                                         Years ago.
                                         
    
                                         Now they live in peaceful cohabitation.
                                         
                                         Ah, they're getting a table.
                                         
                                         Uh, the animals?
                                         
                                         We here have table to farm restaurants.
                                         
                                         Where we give tables to farm animals.
                                         
                                         So they can sit down and study.
                                         
                                         Okay. Oh, like desks.
                                         
                                         You have something to write on.
                                         
    
                                         How's the tour going?
                                         
                                         Oh!
                                         
                                         How's the tour going?
                                         
                                         Huh?
                                         
                                         Yeah, I think you really transformed this place.
                                         
                                         Thank you very much.
                                         
                                         It took almost three seasons
                                         
                                         that we turned this mother around like a battleship.
                                         
    
                                         I didn't tell them about all the statistics.
                                         
                                         Would you like me to do that?
                                         
                                         Please inform them on the statistics.

                                         on. Sure.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         We have our pants on. Sure. Yeah. We have our pants off.

                                         Maybe just let us handle this.
                                         
                                         Can they go over there, please?

                                         The captain. I'm the captain.
                                         
                                         I'm the captain.
                                         
    
                                         Captain Darth?
                                         
                                         Stabilize him.
                                         
                                         Okay. Alright. Yeah? Captain Darnold? You're a stabilizer. Okay, all right.
                                         
                                         If I may, if I may, her energy is very sexual.
                                         
                                         I mean...
                                         
                                         And very upsetting.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that's true.
                                         
                                         And speaking of upsetting and disturbing,
                                         
    
                                         I wonder why it is that you are here after all these many cycles.
                                         
                                         We come with a mission of galactic unification.
                                         
                                         Now, before you came with a mission and blasted me into the blackness.
                                         
                                         Okay, yeah.
                                         
                                         This is sort of...
                                         
                                         Okay, it's a different kind of mission than that.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Sisu Gundu has a plan to reunite the galaxy,
                                         
    
                                         and I think what you've done here in the Zinc District
                                         
                                         is something that Sisu could learn from and take to the reunite the galaxy. And I think what you've done here in the Zinc District is something that
                                         
                                         Sisu could learn from and
                                         
                                         take to the rest of the galaxy.
                                         
                                         These lessons? Yes.
                                         
                                         You believe that there could be a unified
                                         
                                         utopia? I think
                                         
                                         so. I mean, seeing what you've done here...
                                         
    
                                         Does she like my swimming bats?
                                         
                                         What I've done with the animals?
                                         
                                         Uh, I mean, I don't know
                                         
                                         that she knows about them specifically,
                                         
                                         but I'm sure she'd be very, very impressed.
                                         
                                         Listen, IQQ, just as you have put your past with us behind you,
                                         
                                         maybe the next step is to join forces with Sisu,
                                         
                                         and maybe we can not only reunite each other, but the whole galaxy.
                                         
    
                                         I'm touched.
                                         
                                         Thank you.

                                         Isn't it something? It goes down
                                         
                                         and then around there.

                                         Wow, look at all those people.
                                         
                                         The streets are so clean!
                                         
                                         Two ways we need side-force and front-wise.
                                         
                                         Let me address my people now.
                                         
                                         To take what you have said and tell them what will be.
                                         
                                         I'm ready for my speech to give it to the people.
                                         
    
                                         Let me undo this long scroll formerly printed
                                         
                                         on pornographic tables.
                                         
                                         My people!
                                         
                                         Yes, it's me
                                         
                                         harking unto my voice. I am
                                         
                                         about to address you.
                                         
                                         Not undressed.
                                         
                                         Ha ha ha! The old day! We love Larry's hair! to address you not undress yes and you will get that off what we have done here
                                         
    
                                         as reverberated through the interlink we have created a utopia of sorts here in our zinc system. The streets aren't sticky anymore.
                                         
                                         The streets you brought down right.
                                         
                                         We volunteer and we depend on one another and that is the foundation of a good society.
                                         
                                         That we are responsible for the lives of others.
                                         
                                         That we are responsible for the well-being as I am responsible for the public trust.
                                         
                                         That is what is within all of us. In the zinc
                                         
                                         system, there is no one that is below, no one above, no one on top, no bottom. Everybody
                                         
                                         is a stride one another. We have gone through so much together. I being your solicitor in general.
                                         
    
                                         But no more.
                                         
                                         I am your comrade.
                                         
                                         Maybe I am, you know, first among equals.
                                         
                                         But I am your friend.
                                         
                                         I am here to shepherd you and we have come so far.
                                         
                                         I have news.
                                         
                                         Great news.
                                         
                                         Sisu says that she would like us to join with her and teach her the ways of the Zen system.
                                         
    
                                         What we have here will be scaled and amplified
                                         
                                         till it reaches the farthest reaches.

                                         These are all good things
                                         
                                         I have something
                                         
                                         To say in closing that will really
                                         
                                         Bring this home
                                         
    
                                         In Gentawa there are two Ways to say The closing that will really bring this home. In Gentawa, there are two ways to say
                                         
                                         the word utopia. Gentawa, the world that we hope to be. In Gentawa, the world that can
                                         
                                         never be. But I tell you right now, we live in a world of ideals
                                         
                                         and nothing, nothing

                                         I said to myself,
                                         
                                         should I forgive him for what he did?
                                         
                                         I mean, to be fair, it was Bargy that ejected you.
                                         
                                         Oh, of your commands?
                                         
                                         I mean, yes, a little bit.
                                         
                                         Are you not the captain?
                                         
                                         Uh, actually, darn it.

                                         All right. All right, wait, calm down. Oh, yeah. And I'd save you again if I could.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         All right, wait, calm down.
                                         
                                         Something crazy is about to be on television.
                                         
    
                                         What?
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         Let me just say a development deal is in deal.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         There are no confirmations that I emailed the producer. It bounced back, but I'm sure that they'll talk about it.

                                         That wasn't what you were
                                         
                                         working on? It's a great idea
                                         
    
                                         though. Well, uh, we'll go
                                         
                                         back to the papers. We'll figure it out.

                                         Nermit. Hey, Nermit.
                                         
                                         How's it going? How's it going?
                                         
    
                                         How's it going?
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         The Juck.
                                         
                                         Uh, what's it called?
                                         
                                         Oh, funny you should put it that way.
                                         
                                         Yeah, Juck is the name of the game.
                                         
                                         Is Sisu mad?
                                         
                                         Does her hair still smell good?
                                         
    
                                         Yes and yes.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, I thought so.
                                         
                                         This was about galactic unification, and now there's another candidate vying for power?
                                         
                                         Well, that is democracy, though.
                                         
                                         The one candidate is.
                                         
                                         All we have to do is be better than them.
                                         
                                         I think that CCU offers a very attractive alternative to the world that IQQ emits.
                                         
                                         Of course.
                                         
    
                                         Right.
                                         
                                         There's one great candidate and one sex maniac.
                                         
                                         Okay, well, yeah.
                                         
                                         This is a great idea.
                                         
                                         What is?
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         Whatever's happening here.
                                         
                                         I'm into it.
                                         
    
                                         I don't have the money.
                                         
                                         I cannot actually make it into anything,
                                         
                                         but I like it.
                                         
                                         Thanks, Margie.
                                         
                                         Everybody in the waiting room,
                                         
                                         please exit.
                                         
                                         I think they're all...
                                         
                                         Margie, we're in space.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, she's just opening the hatch.
                                         
                                         Oh.
                                         
                                         Oh.
                                         
                                         They all wearing the space suits. It's fine. They took a scene like they're all... Bargy, we're in space. Oh, she's just opening the hatch. Oh. They all wearing the space suits.
                                         
                                         It's fine.
                                         
                                         They took a scene like they're taking the helmets off.
                                         
                                         Why?
                                         
                                         Why would they do that?

                                         Oh, they're taking off their helmets so they can pitch.
                                         
                                         Yeah.

                                         Hi, it's Jesse, the founder of MaxFun, coming to you from the microphone at my home office where I am socially segregating.
                                         
                                         So we promised you a MaxFunDrive this week, but things haven't exactly gone how we expected. So given the
                                         
                                         pandemic, we're going to postpone this year's drive. Events are still fluid, so we're hesitant
                                         
                                         to give you specifics about new dates. Right now we have late April penciled into our calendars.
                                         
    
                                         We'll keep you posted about that. As it stands, a lot of our drive machinery was already cranked up.
                                         
                                         So for one thing, you might hear a reference or two to the drive in our shows, which might
                                         
                                         have been recorded before we made this decision.
                                         
                                         And here is some good news.
                                         
                                         There's a bunch of great bonus content available for all of our MaxFun members.

                                         to be extra available to you. We've got some streaming events planned, some social media stuff.
                                         
                                         We know a lot of folks are isolated right now, and we want to help provide comfort in the best ways that we know how.
                                         
                                         You can follow us on social media, and we'll let you know what's up.

                                         Stay safe out there.
