Hold on it.

Easy. Lock scanners.

Scanners locked.

Activate auto -grab.

Auto -grab activated.

Watch him.

Careful.

Gene? All right, sir. We've got him.

Are we on full magnet scope?

Yes, my commander.

Kill the automatic.

Sir?

Put it on manual.

I want this baby myself.

All yours, commander.

Oh, I get so excited.

What? Go get him, commander.

Give me a countdown to ejection time.

12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4...

Mission completed.

We've cleaned up all the trash in the
Milky Way. Now, put her on astrotrack

let's get out of here.

Welcome to the bicentennial of the
founding of this space station known as

-1. I want to thank you all. Ladies,
gentlemen, humanoids,

multiforms, polymorphopods, geninites,
konguans, transpodulites. As you

know, I am Dr.

Otto Palindol, superintendent -in -chief
of PERMA -1. And if I may quote from

the First Amendment to our
Confederation's Declaration of Unity,

equally welcome here regardless of
species, life system, echo mass, or

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

On the other side of this trans panel,
you can share in the serenity of our

command center.

The operations room where those whom you
have appointed to govern our system and

its way of life work tirelessly and
calmly.

to preserve and maintain universal
harmony.

Until now.

Quark, signing on.

To augment my official sanitation patrol
reports...

I have decided to keep a diary of my
adventures, assuming, of course, that I

have any adventures.

First, my name is Adam Quark, commander
of this ship.

Oh, sorry, old fella.

Almost forgot.

Ready for your dinner, old pal?

Okay, come on.

Come and get it. Come on.

The second -in -command position is held
jointly by Betty and Betty.

One of them is a clone, an artificial
laboratory -created identical twin of

other. I'm extremely fond of Betty.

If only I knew which Betty it was that I
am extremely fond of.

Our chief engineer is a transmute, Gene,
or as he or she is sometimes called,

Gene.

Our research and equipment specialist is
the eminent scientist O .B. Mudd, who

lost an eye some years ago when he went
to sleep for several hours while looking

into his microscope.

In his spare time, he usually works on
Andy, a servo -mechanical android that

is determined to perfect.

Someday.

I myself am just an ordinary human, air
-breathing, homo sapiens, descended from

inhabitants of planet Earth.

now abandoned.

Oh.

Ergo.

No wall.

Down, Ergo.

Down, Ergo.

Good.

Good boy.

My ancestors were members of a subgroup
called Americans.

Archaeological diggings made in the
western and southern sections of their

country. indicate that these so -called
Americans worshipped and perhaps were

governed by a fully clothed English
-speaking mouse.

You've had your dinner, fella.

Time for Betty now.

As our new orbit moves us toward Ursa
Major in the M82 sector, I would like to

close by saying...

by saying, uh, I would just like to
close by saying, stop signing off.

Stay, circle, stay.

He's not going to stay.

Thank you, Betty. Thank you, Betty.
That's enough brushing off. That's

brushing off.

That's an order.

Interface, this is an emergency. Would
you please hurry?

I've only got four hands, you know.

Yes? Oh, palindrome here, sir. Sorry to
disturb you.

That's all right, palindrome.

I was just, as usual, thinking.

Sir, we've got a bit of a headache down
here.

Don't tell me about headaches,
palindrome.

No, sir.

I wrote the book on headaches.

Yes, sir.

Give me the facts.

An extraordinarily large explosion from
the M82 sector seems to have propelled

an enzyme cloud clear through Ursa
Major's gravity field. It's practically

protein, and it's metabolizing
everything in its path, including

I suppose you're going to tell me this
enzyme thing is going to hit us full on.

and turn us all into little bitty meson
particles.

At about 1 ,500 hours tomorrow. I'm
sorry, sir, I know how you feel.

Can you imagine a migraine the size of a
supernova?

No, sir.

Then you don't know how I feel.

All right, have we got any ships in that
sector?

Just once.

Who's in command?

Adam Quark.

That's the worst news yet.

What cargo is he carrying?

200 ,000 tons of compressed space
garbage.

Wonderful.

Quark's not totally inexperienced, sir.
He did see active service during the

Sagittarius Rebellion.

Wasn't he captured by the enemy?

Oh, yes, sir. By the Solonites.

Animated, mildly intelligent vegetables.

Tubers, actually.

Quark was taken prisoner by a unit of
dissident potatoes.

Sir, if Quark could move his ship into
the center of that enzyme cloud and set

off his own reactor system... And create
a nuclear implosion.

Yes, it might work.

Of course, it would mean certain death
for everybody on board.

This is a tough one, Palindrome. But as
you know, one of the responsibilities of

those in charge, sometimes, is to order
the sacrifice of the few.

For the sake of the many.

Yes, sir.

Particularly when those in charge are
among the many.

I'll see you below, Adam.

Oh, yes, absolutely.

I'll see you below, Adam.

Of course. Yeah.

Have you finished the auto system
checkout?

Checkout completed. Power load is at
maximum. Good. Lunar and solar readings

full mesh. Good. Orbit program is locked
in. Good. And guess what? What?

I've almost finished my needlepoint.

It's lovely, isn't it, Doc?

Oh, boy.

Request permission to speak to the
commander.

What is it?

Alone.

I know what I'm not wanting.

I'll see you below, Commander.

You ought to take it easy on Gene, Doc.

I don't like transmutes.

Transmutes are just like everyone else.

Except, of course, for the fact that
they have a full set of male and female

chromosomes.

Would you let your brother or sister
marry one?

Just tell me what's on your mind, Doc.

I'm requesting a transfer.

I want to get away from the sanitation
business while I'm still young.

Look, Doc, I know how you feel, but
we've got a job to do that's just as big

as important as any other.

Besides, where would you transfer to?

We're 17 light years from the nearest
space station.

Let me out. I'll walk.

Sir, quark ship has moved into the
perimeter of the enzyme cloud. We can't

normal voice contact.

Now, what do you suggest?

An emergency laser grab. I've already
written one up, but I have to have your

authority.

Get the interface operator.

Yes, sir.

Interface.

This is the head.

I want to send an emergency lasergram to
the M82 sector.

That's awfully far.

We know that interface.

That will be $422 ,000 for 10 words and
$68 ,000

for each additional word.

What is the message, please?

16 words, palindrome.

Well, we can cut deer.

How's it going, Andy?

Everything is fine, thank you.

Thank you?

You're welcome.

Yes, I see.

And how do you feel?

I feel wonder.

I feel wonder.

I feel wonder.

Oh.

You're getting there.

Amanda. What is it?

Look at this.

We've got a spectrum rating that's gone
right off the graph.

Something's coming this way.

Something big.

And it's not solid. It's emitting a
totally varied wave cycle.

A totally varied wave cycle. Do you
understand what that means?

What does it mean?

I wish I knew.

What would happen if it hit us?

At best, the ship would be anatomized
and we'd all be turned into instant

jelly.

Of course, that's looking on the bright
side.

Isn't there a chance you could be
mistaken?

Yes.

No.

Time to ingest.

What's on the menu?

Special treat tonight, Commander.

All your favorites.

Hearts of plankton, hot space biscuits,
puree of astro germ, and moon snail

flambé. What about a moistening agent?

Chateau Allio from the Great Bear
Constellation, 2117.

Mmm, a great century for wine.

Ah, that's what I call ingestion.

Now, we're all set for a nice long nap.

Commander Quark. Yes, Gene. How long do
you want the cryogenopod auto -timer set

for? Let's see. This is April 4th. Set
them for full energy restoration on June

3rd. Right. At 7 a .m.

That early?

That's two months from now.

Well, a gal needs her beauty sleep.

I suppose you want to be tucked in?

You come near me, you'll end up looking
for two patches. You got that mud? All

right, knock it off.

Big bully.

What do you got, Doc?

Don't know yet.

New sample findings.

I want to look at them under the
stethoscope.

I'm going to check the gyro channels
before I turn in.

Oh.

What is it? See something?

No.

Nothing at all.

It's all black.

Other eye, Doc.

What? Oh.

Yes.

My name is Andy.

What is your name?

Please tell me your name.

I think you are very attractive.

Won't you speak to me?

Andy, no.

Stop that.

Come with me, Andy.

That is not a toy. It's the garbage
control.

That is a very important piece of
expensive machinery.

Yes, but isn't she cute?

be sharing the experience with you.
Thank you, Betty.

You like me a little bit, don't you?

Oh, more than just a little bit.

More than her?

Well... Because she's only a clone.

I'm the real person.

She is not!

It's not true!

Easy, Betty.

She was made from a cell that came from
underneath my fingernail.

Honest! Yes, yes. Oh, I believe you.

Adam?

I'm even prouder to be sharing this
experience with you than she is.

Because, as someone once said, death is
the greatest

adventure, you know?

Sure, but you have to remember that
whoever said it probably wasn't dead at

time. Coming!

must be inside the thing now.

If those hydrochemical readings are
correct, it's as though we're being

digested. By Jiminy, that's it.

It's some kind of protein hydrolyzing
amino producer.

What does it mean?

I'm not quite sure, but it's got a nice
ring to it.

Okay, I think we've got it.

Let's cut out the good luck.

It seems superfluous anyway.

Interface, we've got it down to ten
words.

It's about time.

What is the message, please?

Palindrome, I'll put the lasergram
through.

You watch those command table readouts
and keep me informed.

I want to know if Quark makes it.

And if he doesn't?

Uh, lie.

Quark, don't you tell this pricing
emergency!

If we drop that cargo, we'll be torn
apart!

I said it was.

It's gone after the cargo.

It's having the feast of its life.

And moving in a completely different
direction.

Away from our solar system.

Away from our civilization.

Away from everything we hold dear.

Mostly us.

Commander, it's an emergency laser
grain. From Perma One.

Quark, blow your reactor and save
Galaxy.

Nice knowing you.

You know, if Andy hadn't dumped that
load, we would all be

extremely dead.

We owe our lives to that plucky jumble
of spare parts.

You're not going to be just any ordinary
servo mechanism.

I'm going to program you to genius
level.

You'll learn to think like we do.

We'll teach you to speak like we do. And
behave like we do. In fact, Andy, when

we get through with you, you'll be just
like us.

What do you think of that?

I woke up and no one was around.

I was so frightened. Won't you tell me
what happened?

Get away from me, Doc.

Please.

We had a little trouble back there,
Gene, but we straightened everything

In fact, we were probably responsible
for saving the entire galaxy.

Yeah? Well, it's a mess down below. The
load control box is in the middle of the

cabin. That is my fiancé.

What's he babbling about?

Oh, nothing, really.

Hey!

What's his fiancee?

Are we talking about the load control
box?

This load control box?

That robot is sick.

But it is romantic.

Permawant to Quark. Permawant to Quark.

This is Quark.

Who?

Quark. What? This is Quark.

Commander Quark for you.

Quark, I have a message for you and your
crew from the head himself.

Yes, sir.

Congratulations for your superb work in
the face of indescribable danger. A

grateful galaxy salutes you.

You are directed to proceed with your
ship to Stellar Quadrant 7 and look for

signs of trouble.

Your permanent mission now is to scour
the universe.

Hey!

Now we're going to see some action.

Oh, and... Yes, sir. On your way to
Quadrant 7, would you swing by the small

cloud of Magellan? They haven't had a
pick -up there in two weeks, and there

space baggies everywhere.

All right. You all heard that?

Let's start scouring the universe.

Andy, we owe this all to you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

All right. Let's get this ship moving.

You know, Doc, I really believe that
some higher consciousness that

the infinite pattern of cause and effect
must have selected us to play this

vital role.

At least that's one way of looking at
it.

Or it's just pure dumb luck.

That's the other way.
