They asked us not to read an ad. Enjoy the show.

Corby might, we just got some orders from Admiral Hayes. She says that there's some special cargo down in Cargo Bay 2 that just got delivered

and that we're supposed to take special care of it.

It's maybe the vaguest orders I've ever gotten in my life.

Yeah, this is incredibly vague.

You know, I'm guessing this is some kind of off-the-book kind of thing,

maybe like an experiment or maybe some diplomatic stuff.

Oh, see, since it was your mom, I kind of thought maybe it was like a care package and she didn't want to be like, I'm using this official channels to send Corby might, like a bunch of brownies or something.

No, no, you're probably right. I asked her to quit sending me brownies and start sending me secret diplomatic missions. Oh, well, maybe it's both. You know, she never, I don't know, she's never really listened too much to what I wanted. So, all right, well, here's this box. It's bigger than I thought it'd be. That's a lot of brownies.

She's worried that I don't eat enough, and I'm like, I clearly do.

All right, let's open it up.

Hello.

Whoa.

My name is Info, and I have been sent here to aid your ship in its exploration of the galaxy.

Really?

Yes. You may be familiar with other androids throughout Starfleet.

Yeah, they're like a dozen of them, like most of them pretty crappy.

Ha ha ha ha. I am not crappy. I am here to aid you in your exploration of the galaxy.

Is there some reason they sent you in a box?

It is an easier way to transport my body. That way, I don't take up precious seats.

On Starfleets.
