You got to believe...

Picture if you will…

It is the year 3645. You are the sole survivor of a catastrophic starship-wide system-failure. You survived because you were cleaning an escape pod bathroom due to your low star-rank. The escape pod computer malfunctioned and launched the pod a moment before the starship’s star-drive imploded.

Fortunately, the escape pod facilities include a bathroom as well as a food imitator unit. Unfortunately due to damage to the escape pod’s computer, the bathroom toilet overflows every other time it is flushed, the shower does not work, and the food imitator unit only produces flavor-free Yo-Ho chocolate drink, pickle-loaf sandwiches, and regular flavored potato chips made with Olean. Perhaps the biggest challenge to overcome is that the escape pod’s computer is playing Olivia Newton John’s “Magic” on “repeat” through all the pods speakers, communication channels, and through the psiCom chip that you recently purchased which happens to be embedded in your skull behind your left eye.

To make matters worse, the pod’s navigation system has locked onto Stellar Outpost: Xanadu, a recently renovated retro-futuristic bowling alley turned hover-skate rink. It will take 42 days to reach Xanadu, there is no way to turn the pod, and due to a design flaw; the only way to make the music stop is to cut the power to life support.

Would you make it to Xanadu? If you did, would you believe in magic?
