Their mission? To boldly go where no gay has gone before. To seek out strange experiences, and new pleasures. To plunge the Universe for new thrills, and bigger parties. These are the voyages of our intrepid crew as they set course for new worlds before they return to Earth this Friday to land at BLAST OFF! at Dock5.
Captain’s Log — Stardate 67883.9: Our destination is planet Paurtay 14. Not all of space is safe. Beaming down on this distant planet, our crew discovered something lurking, and what must be a threatening alien species.
They roam both time and space, collecting species from across our galaxy for their own pleasure. Barbarella, primitive Earth astronauts and rocket scientists, and some sort of Darth Drag Maul creature.
Certainly theirs must be a life of torture as they waste away in intergalactic jail.
Our crew struggled to overcome the alien species, which called itself Peaches. But, their power and seduction was just too intense. We were captured.
But, just as when we thought we were to never to return to Earth; to serve in servitude on a far-away planet, the aliens revealed their true intentions. Theirs was a mission of peace…and of PARTY. They only wanted to spread intergalactic ecstasy. And – being ours a scientific and exploratory mission – we happily joined in. We are setting course for Earth, and we are bringing our new friends with us.
