Space Station 76

I've always been amazed that asteroids can fly in groups...

...for millions of years and never touch each other or connect.

They are dead rock...

...so they find their perfect orbit and stick to it.

We also want to find that place of perfection.

But we're not asteroids. We change, and that's the problem.

The more you try to create a paradise...

...the more you will resent the prison.

And all you're left with is dreams of a future...

...that never happened.

Unidentified pod approaching.

Scan ship identification code.

Scanning.

Counting down. Five, four...

...three, two, one...

Lieutenant Marlowe, you're cleared for landing.

Welcome to Omega 76. Your room is number 3 on B Level.

Get situated, report to Medical. I'll meet you on the bridge at 1800 hours.

Docking bay door opening.

Docking bay door closing.

Welcome to the Omega 76 refueling station.

Are you in need of food, lodging or fuel?

No, thank you.

Caution. UV rays present.

Mom?

Main level. Elevator doors closing.

Hello.

Lieutenant Commander Marlowe, please report to the medical capsule.

It gives shots.

It's just a routine physical.

They need to make sure I didn't bring anything...

...onto the ship they don't know about.

Initiating diagnostic mammography.

Glandular tissue results are normal.

It's cold.

Lieutenant Commander Marlowe...

...I have detected some irregularities in the uterus.

I'm aware of the irregularities.

Dr. Bot, hi.

Welcome, Misty.

I need to tell you I have just been feeling...

...so much better since we started treatment.

I mean, like, even just my dreams have just been better.

You know, like, I haven't been having all those feelings...

...and I'm just really feeling in the now.

Feelings can sometimes pull one out of the now and put them in the then.

Live in the now, not in the then.

I don't wanna be in the then. I wanna be in the now.

Talking about the now can put one in the then.

I don't want to be in the then, I want to be in the now. I wanna move forward...

Don't move too far forward, you'll be out of the now.

- Not too far forward. Stay in the now.

I want to stay in the now. I am in the now. Right now.

This knob is the ship's thrust control...

...which works on a sliding scale of 50.

Obviously, we'd never take it that far.

If, in the case of a proximity warning...

...this red light here will go off and an alert will sound...

...which brings me to the navigation systems.

Have you worked with any of the F series?

I have worked with the entire F series, sir.

- F15? - Yes, sir.

You've navigated using the F15?

Yes.

- I don't know why you didn't stop me. - I'm sorry, I didn't want to interrupt you.

Well, the F15...

Well, little lady, I'm impressed.

- It's Jessica. - What?

My name is Jessica, sir.

I know your name, Lieutenant Marlowe. Thank you.

Captain Glenn Terry, here is your Harvey Wallbanger.

- I didn't order that. - But sir...

I'd never order an alcoholic beverage on the bridge.

- You ordered at exactly... - Ted ordered that.

- My records indicate you ordered... - Take that to Ted.

So, well, I guess I can skip the how-do-you-do's, and put you right to work.

That's what I'm here for, sir.

Attention, crew.

Tonight's luau begins in the rec room at 1800 hours.

- Could we not do that tonight? - Yeah.

Maintenance Technician Ted, here is your Harvey Wallbanger.

- I didn't order that. - I'll take it.

How was your day?

I just had some issues from today.

Honey, you shouldn't take those with alc...

- Anyway, my issue... - Your issue, yeah.

My issue is we can barely afford to buy...

- ...Sunshine's school tuition next year. - I'll homeschool Sunshine, so don't worry.

Okay. Yeah, should I...? Do you want me to, maybe, help you out with that?

We shouldn't be talking about all this stuff...

...right before we go to bed. It's really stressful.

Okay. All right.

Your whole vibe is just stressing me.

Yeah.

A female captain?

Lieutenant Commander. There aren't any lady captains.

Like real captains, as far as I know. Right?

Right.

Well, she just better wear a bra. That's all I'm saying.

Anyway, I do not know what the fuss is all about.

Can you imagine if I had to run this ship?

I can't even make our garbage disposal work.

I would crash us right into a sun.

It's a good thing you're not in control of the ship.

I know, that's what I said.

It's okay. I should get going.

Hey, how have things been with you guys since the baby?

- Great. - Yeah?

No, I mean, are you guys...?

Is she still...?

- Well, doesn't Misty? - Oh, yeah.

Yeah, man, all the time. It took a while, you know?

Yep, we kept it alive during the pregnancy.

Found ways to get around it.

- You see the new girl? - No.

Nice ass.

I'm a leg man, you know?

Nice legs. Nice tits. Nice ass. Oh, I would love to...

- Would you? - What?

- Ever cheat? - Hell, no.

Fuck, yes.

Welcome wagon! I'm Donna.

Greetings. We are so happy that you're here.

Really, thank you. That's a... That...

I brought you a little something.

For me? Wow, thank you.

This is homemade paper? Did you make this?

I'm very into arts and crafts. You'll learn that about me.

- And I make my own jewelry as well. - That's very kind of you. Thank you.

It's just a fun survival kit that I put together. Just a bunch of helpful things.

Oh, don't be precious. It's a little packet of detergent to get you started...

...and also a map of the ship.

Great, this is great. Thank you.

- Oh, it's nothing. - Very thoughtful.

It's nothing. So my number's right there up at the top.

Listen, I know everything about this ship...

...so you just call me if there's anything that you need.

Great, thank you. I will. Thank you.

Great. Well, I'm gonna take off and get back to some things.

- I understand. - Yeah. So...

- You have a good day. - Thank you.

Okay, Carol, listen, I need to talk to you about something.

- All you people are fucking imbeciles! - Okay, what if we...

There's no "we," only you. You. Do your job on your own!

I am and I was, but I...

No. No. There is no buts. I'm not interested in your buts.

Excuse me, you guys got water showers?

Yeah. Down the hall on the right. Comes with a free breakfast.

It's gonna feel so good to get clean again.

Hey, it is so great to have more estrogen on the ship.

- Nice to meet you. - Just great to have more female energy.

- Really balances things out. - How are you?

- That's my Sunshine. - She's so beautiful. Really, I mean...

- Yeah. - How old is she?

How old do you think she is?

Like, a guess?

Like, I guess she's about 7?

I like to think of her as an old soul, so...

Oh. She may be. Yeah. But how old is she in people years?

I don't really like to label her in ages.

Yeah, I just don't really believe in ageism, so...

Well, children are really wonderful.

- We get wrapped up in our everyday lives. - Yeah. That's true.

How are you? What do you got there?

You know, I was... Oh, well...

I was gonna say if you ever needed someone to babysit or to...

Wow, I am picking up such a great maternal energy from you.

- Well, yeah, kids are great. - Oh, my God. It's really beautiful.

- Why don't you have children? - Oh, my, you know, work and time...

Oh, you've gotta have a child. You really should.

- It's amazing. Look at her. - Yeah. Yeah, she's very beautiful.

- I would love to. I mean, when I'm ready. - Oh, but don't wait, okay? Don't wait.

There's never the right time, never enough money.

- You have to feel the energy... - It's not about money.

...and commit and really decide.

- I think the energy really opens up. - I will. I will. I will.

- Right now, it's about career for me and I... - No, times have changed, okay?

You can have your work, have your baby. You just have to do it.

- You just have to have your baby. - You know what?

I can't have a child, so I won't be having a child.

You can have a baby. Anyone can have a baby. What are you talking about?

You know, I have an actual medical situation...

...where I can't actually physically have a child.

Do you know what I mean? Do you know what I'm saying?

Oh, my... Oh, my God.

Oh, God. I'm so sorry.

No, I mean, you didn't know.

No, I didn't. I just... I... But I'm so sorry for you. It is horrible.

No, it's not horrible. It's okay.

I'm so embarrassed. Look at me. I have everything and I am sitting here...

...taking all of my blessings for granted.

You know, and I can have a child...

...and here I am not even realizing that you just can't and...

You know, we all have things, and I have a career and I have a life, you know?

And it's not the only way I, you know, can have a child.

I can adopt and it'll work out.

You know, I'll have one. It's not a big deal for me.

Hey, hey, hey. Don't get defensive, okay?

I would really appreciate if you didn't say anything to anyone, please.

- Of course not. No. - Okay. Thank you.
