Good Spot Hunting

## Summary

On their very first mission for the COUP, the crew must transport an important dignitary to settle a dispute on planet Talcus. Dar becomes obsessed with the space. C-53 has some words for C-53. Don't assume anything about Bargie.

## Plot

THEMM send the crew on a new mission... which is actually very similar to their previous missions in the Zyxx Quadrant.

Nermut assigns them the mission from the Reflactorium, where he has created an office surrounded by other offices and office buildings. He is starting a software company in the reflactorium called Optisoft.

The Tarbasians and the Perganos are about to sign a treaty that will unite the sector on the planet Talcus. The crew's mission is to transport an ambassador there from the Synergy to mediate between the two factions. The ambassador's name is Jucko. (In this galaxy, juck doesn't have the same meaning as in Zyxx.)

When arriving to the planet, there is only one parking space available. Bargie takes it, and in the process crushes three folding chairs.

Parking has become difficult in this neighborhood due to events and diplomatic meetings. Such as the Floopins v the Montclairs, the Sherberts vs the Sherbits and the Neethors versus the Neithers. It's Justine's mother's anniversary of sobriety. Justine gets her ethereal beauty from her dad. Who is in prison. Undercover, and got arrested for impersonating a prisoner.

Bargie leaves the planet briefly with the THEMM delegate. Bargie returns and is allowed to park if everyone rides in Justine's Mom's car, around the block. Dar wants to watch the flirting and the Delegate is left to do the negotiations remotely.

After some smelly cheese, AJ getting kicked out of the car, threats to delegates and a boxing gym, Justine breaks up with AJ. The peace negotiations are successful, despite the crew only interfering with Jucko getting to the conference.

## Quotes

Pleck: The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Bargie: Since day one, they've been that sassy toaster. That we've learned to love and respect.

Dar: Mamamea, that's a mouthful

Bargie: Hey, hey! There's a problem!
Dar: Am I supposed to be intimidated by a super-tall, beautiful, modelesque being. And there's like an ethereal light about you.

AJ: and these are one handed handstand pushups

Guy from Wiggles' Past: If we can't change with the world around us, we're always living the past. In't it?

Dar: Heavy are the lips that blow the captain's horn.

Jucko: The more your wrong opinion are about me is, the more it stays the same. That's what my tattoo says.
