STARSHIP RANGERS start to run offstage, racing against the clock to get to the dropdown area.

JUNIOR comes running on, and they stop immediately, crashing into each other.
JUNIOR: Woah, hey there, gang. Thank Dead God I caught you before dropdown. I just
wanted to get a chance to introduce myself. My name’s Junior, maybe you’ve heard
of me?
No one responds.
JUNIOR: Or my dad, he’s the head of the whole Galactic League.
KRAYONDER: Oh, I heard of your dad.
JUNIOR: Yeah, I’m his son.
KRAYONDER: Nice.
JUNIOR: I’m also this Starship’s ambassador to the Galactic League. Uh oh. I know what
you’re thinking, “Who’s this ignorant gringo trying to flex on my ship?” But, rest
assured, I’m not here to ruffle anyone’s feathers. Quite the opposite, actually. I’m just
here to watch you fly, and make sure this mission is run according to Galactic League
standards, but don’t tell anybody, ‘k? Guys, I needed the best for this mission, and
that’s why I handpicked each and every single one of you. Just like I handpicked
February.
ANNOUNCER: (O.S.) Dropdown in twenty seconds.
JUNIOR: Oh wait, one more thing. I forgot, sorry. I’ve got something that’s gonna make your
job down on that planet a whole heck of a lot easier. It’s the most advanced piece of
technology that the Galactic League has to offer.
JUNIOR moves to the Starship door.
JUNIOR: Allow me to introduce you to the final member of your team, Mega-Girl.
JUNIOR hits a button on the door. The stage goes dark and the door flies open, revealing
MEGA-GIRL, a robot. She makes many roboty noises.
MEGA-GIRL: Please state a command for me to service you.
UP: It’s— it’s a— a— robot!
UP hides behind TAZ.
TOOTSIE: Wow, she’s shiny.
JUNIOR moves around to the side of the stage. TAZ raises her gun and points it directly at
MEGA-GIRL.
TAZ: Are you loco ese? What are you thinking, bringing a robot on board?
JUNIOR: Now, I know the robot wars have left us all a little bit touchy, okay, but I believe
that, considering the billions of people that died to regain control of the robots, well,
it’s an insult to their memory not to use them as our unwilling slaves.
TAZ: Robots can’t be trusted, compañero. You know what the first thing a robot ever did
was? Kill it’s creator. And then he made more, evil robots.
MEGA-GIRL: All hail Astro-Boy!
EVERYONE gasps at this. JUNIOR moves back to stand between MEGA-GIRL and TAZ.
JUNIOR: Yes, yes, but trust me, evil killing won’t be a problem with Mega-Girl. Watch. (to
MEGA-GIRL) Mega-Girl, can you kill humans?
MEGA-GIRL: No.
TAZ lowers her gun.
MEGA-GIRL: But I’d like to.
TAZ immediately raises her gun again.
JUNIOR: See, nothing to worry about. Unlike the robots we fought in the war, Mega-Girl
comes equipped with an inhibitor chip.
JUNIOR spins MEGA-GIRL around and indicates the chip in the back of her neck.
JUNIOR: Her behavioural programs make it physically impossible for her to harm or kill
humans. Animals are fair game though, so a few ground rules. No one ever wears fur,
no one is a chicken, and nothing came from the horse’s mouth.
TOOTSIE: A horse ate my cousin. Me and horses got a feud.
BEAT. No one responds.
TAZ: You know, in my life, I’ve done some things I said I’d never do. But one thing I said I’d
never do is work with a robot. Never. They kill billions! They rule Earth with a fist
made of iron for a hundred years. And then Up.
JUNIOR: Oh no, I completely forgot. Commander Up, his famous injury. It was because of a
robot, wasn’t it? Well, I— Colour me embarrassed.
TAZ: Junior, you can pack her up, because she’s not a part of this rescue mission.
JUNIOR: Uh oh. Uh oh, you guys. I already told my dad, he’s head of the whole Galactic
League, that I sent Mega-Girl down to the planet already. He was getting on me
about how I hadn’t started the rescue mission yet, you guys. So… she has to go?
TAZ: If she’s going, I’m not.
JUNIOR: Oh Dead God, this sucks for me. Because, like, I wanna be your friend, but as the
ambassador, I’m also your boss too. So, how do I say this? You have to?
JUNIOR shrugs as MEGA-GIRL approaches TAZ.
MEGA-GIRL: Looks like you and I will be fast friends. Try to get my good side when I rescue
the shy-ence officer. That was a joke, because my design is mathematically perfect
and symmetrical.
TAZ: You better watch your back, tin can.
MEGA-GIRL: (walking away from TAZ) I have radar sensors that do that for me.
MEGA-GIRL stares ominously (think ‘stares at you with my autistic eyes’) at TAZ.
JUNIOR: What a relied seeing that you guys are getting along so well already, but uh, you
know what? You guys actually all should get going, ‘cause I kinda told my dad you
left fifteen minutes ago. Sorry guys, that one’s my fault…
ALL RANGERS exit, except UP, who tries to sneak off the opposite direction. TAZ re-enters
when she notices he is not with them. UP tries to hide in the wings.
