[Cambot focuses in on a part of the weapons deck. An enormous purple snake Pokemon slithers by...and dang, even for an Arbok, it seems endlessly long. It also seems to have only one working eye. And, it also seems to currently be panicking.]

OH! OH! Oh no! Miiiiiike! Everyone! I saw a ghost! And it had these creepy white eyes! And big claws! And hull integrity is probably compromised somewhere, too. But it was reeeeeeally spooky!

[There’s some strange static on the screen, and then--]

Oh no, it’s here again! I better--

[Cambot’s feed goes completely static-y and fitzes out.]

OOC: If some characters want to go investigate, three of them can go to battle Missingno in a separate log!

[A purple-ish porygon wearing a dolphin pendant sits in front of a door, looking up at the handle in mild agitation. Experimentally, it nudges the door a couple of times, to no avail. It sighs and looks up at Cambot.]

Can someone assist me? I... don't have arms.

((OOC: Back~))

[Suddenly a WILD BLUE OTTER appears as it jumped out of the pool. It can only be Kaldur because who else spells all their time pool side...although the strange eel markings on the otter's fur also help. Kaldur shakes himself off and then looks up at Cambot]

It would seem that this creature is as aquatic as I thought. I believe I enjoy this form more so than the pony incident for that reason a lone.

[Is the otter smirking? He seems to be smirking]

It would also appear that these strange creatures do not have the same limits as we do when it comes to their abilities.

[To demonstrate the otter-pokemon takes a deep breath and then sends a blast of Water shooting across the pool. It seems someone has been playing around with his new form.]

I am curious to see what other types can do.

[Hello there SoLeAAAAAAAAH. OH GOD.

GOOGLY YELLOW EYES. And suddenly, CLOVERFIELD CAMERA SHAKING!]

Hello! Hellooooo? Is this thing on??

Lemme turn it o--

[And then suddenly the Cambot shorts out. Cue another Cambot turning on and--well, it appears there is another pony on board. This one with wings and very odd-looking eyes. As to what happened, it appears it ripped that other Cambot out of its socket, along with an entire piece of panel and outer shell of the ship, revealing nothing but cold, black space.

...

WAIT WHAT-]

WOW! How did that happen? It suddenly got really windy in here!!

[Says the pegasus as it is being sucked out due to decompression. Oh, and incidentally making deep hoof-sized grooves as it is being dragged along. The utterly destroyed Cambot (and accompanying panel and outer shell) from before is a more immediate victim - it smashes right into the horse's head, snapping in half before it disappears out the hole.

Meanwhile the pony, fam from being knocked out of concussed or, well, dead, looks confused.]

Heeey, that's the camera from before! I should fix i-

[-and out the pony gets sucked. Even Cambot has no idea how to respond. Except to worriedly switch to Rocket Number 9-

While going "Wheeeee! Woooooah!! Its like I'm flying without my wiiiiings........" as it floats on into outer space.

Oh, never mind, it's fine! Someone might want to say something about the decompression. And the panel. And the giant hoof grooves the newcomer made. How the heck did that pony manage to even do that...]

[Cambot was in Phineas's room or what HAD been Phineas's room. A platypus lies curled up on the bed and at first it looks like he's sleeping. Cambot zooms in closer and notices that the platypus seems to have...tears?

Can platypi even cry?

The platypus gives a sniff gets up and turns around, putting its back to Cambot and curling back up on the bed.

He'd been without the Flynn-Fletcher family up here for awhile but at least Phineas had always been here and now he was...gone. Perry was sure of it because he'd gone to look for the boy at about 3 in the morning and hadn't slept since.

What was he supposed to do without Phineas? He had ALWAYS been with Phineas.]

[The video seems to flicker on to a random corridor, its view starting from the floor plate and panning itself way slowly up someone's brown jeans and backside. As it rises higher, a familiar blonde hair is revealed, with the commander's face turning around to face with a bemused glance. She turned back around, as if trying to see if anything is suddenly different.]

If this is where I think it is, then my head really needs to be more creative with its dreams.

[She looks back toward the cambot again.]

What are you looking at?

 [Cambot shoots a close-up of a flimsy British boy with long silver-hair and an anxious expression on his effeminate face. He looks around at the empty room, jumping back with a squeal as something clangs above. The large hexigonal screen on the opposite wall is blank, and he inches away from the high-tech equipment that looks similar to what powers those pesky children's card games. In jerky slow motion, as if the boy was tipsy and paralyzed from the waist down, he steps out of the cockpit into a large, dimly-lit hallway.]

"Bullocks, where the deuce am I now? I was just having my afternoon tea and crumpets a little bit ago, but this doesn't look like Madame Fuzzylumpkin's Coffee Shop..." 

[The camera pans out as the boy starts walking away, shouting in his high-pitched voice that echoes] 

"Helloooo? Helloooo? I want my mummy... Yugi? Te'a? Barney-Tristan? Weird. Am I the only Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged character here?"

[Up in the cockpit, there’s a sudden flash of lightning and a burst of pink smoke...and out of the smoke emerges a strange, haphazard creature. It looks to be part pony, part lion, part dragon and part deer...and all smug smiles.]

Hell-O, everypony! Although, I suppose here, not everypony is even a pony, hmm? Now isn’t that fascinating...

I suppose I should introduce myself...I’m Discord, lord of chaos! I just happened to be passing by this part of the cosmos, when I couldn’t help noticing all this splendid chaos you have going on up here! I just had to come along and contribute what little I could.

Who’s causing all this bee-you-tiful disharmony, you may ask? Well, it’s not me, and it’s not Joe! I wonder who...or what...it could possibly be!


[As soon as Discord shows up, even more chaos spreads around the SOL...it starts raining chocolate milk on the nature deck, the food synthesizer only puts out unpopped popcorn and anchovies, and the media deck is now entirely upside-down. This chaos will continue to escalate, even affecting characters’ personalities for the worse, unless your characters find a way to stop Discord!]

[A light brown unicorn pony seems to be bobbing up and down without really making an effort to move. His typical line-face expression seems to be present, as he hasn't been exactly enjoying this experience as much as some of the others.]

There will be no swimming for a period I am afraid.

[He nods at Cambot and the robot pans out to reveal Kaldur is standing on a purple substance that jiggles and shakes at the slightest movement. Kaldur pokes at it with a hoof and sighs]

I believe it is jell-o, but why someone would fill a pool with the substance I know not.

[He moves to step off the jello but apparently it isn't as stable as he believe and Kaldur is instead sucked down into the purple jello mass with a loud SLURP sound. Cambot zooms over and shows Kaldur floating in the jello, looking very unamused]

Rin apparently needs a little more assistance than usual, although she's making do with a high trolley to rest her front lack-of-hooves on and roll around with.

Wait, lack of hooves?

Yeah, apparently she's a pony too. It's pretty convenient, actually: she just tilts her head down and noms on a carrot as she goes about her business. Apparently Cambot thinks this is worthy of a broadcast panning shot and some theme music.

She turns to the camera, finishes crunching up her carrot, and smiles. "I had a craving," she said. "So, what do your marks mean? Mine is apparently a drop of cloudy blue paint."

Cambot pans and zooms: she brings her flank into position to make the blue paint blotch with clouds more visible.

[Cambot is, well... running away from something. Residents of the SOL might be forgiven in thinking that one shade survived Doof's -inator device, because there's quick footfalls coming from behind the speeding mechanical. Something's definitely chasing it. But any concern about it being a shade is put immediately to rest when whatever-it-is speaks and it can be heard by everyone.]

HEY! Get back here! You can't just run away from me!

[Cambot continues fleeing, but then the view bounces, shaking wobbily as ... well, who knows, but it's not moving as fast and it's kind of swaying from side to side. And then the tip of a tail, covered in blond fur, comes into view, only to be whisked away and replaced by a pair of hands in white gloves gripping the edges of the lens and an upside-down face staring straight into it and his ponytail whipping around.]

HEY! WHATEVER'S IN THERE! I WANNA ASK YOU SOME QUESTIONS!

[...Yes. Zidane is literally riding the Cambot. And now he's knocking on the lens with a fist, dear god monkeyboy what are you doing.]

HEY! Park this thing and get out so we can talk!

[There's something coming in on the Hexfield viewscreen!

It appears to be a short, yellow school bus...with rockets? There are no children on board, just a woman with crazy orange hair and a lizard on her shoulders. She looks up from her console and waves, clearly delighted, before honking the horn.

The viewscreen zooms in on her. She has her messy orange hair in a bun and appears to be wearing an outfit covered in planets and stars, her earrings (however) are a pair of Sputnik 1 satellites.]

Good morning, space cadets!

I hope you don't mind me passing by your satellite. I was doing a routine inspection of the bus's orbital stability and rocket boosters when I noticed your lovely ship and just had to get a closer look!

[She looks at the lizard]

It's a shame the class isn't here, Liz, I would love to teach them about satellites. Hmm, I might have to make a note of that. We've already been to space once, but as I always say "there's always room for more space!"

[Did her earrings just glow briefly?]

Oh, but I suppose you all know all about satellites seeing as you are aboard one right now.

[Hmmm, we haven't seen Mike's spectre yet...but unfortunately, it's decided to show up now.]

[Mike stumbles into the view of Cambot, flailing about wildly. His spectre has now latched onto him as if it were riding piggyback, screeching right into his ear. Mike seems to be covered in splotches of green goo. All of Mike's attempts to shake it off are failing, and he looks at the Cambot with desperation.]

Uhhh...anyone...a little heeeelp!

[The screen shows one very large eye looking in. The view rattles for a moment, accompanied by thunking noises – something’s tapping Cambot.]

Hey, is this thing on?

[The view pans back to show a rather tall and skinny man in a lab coat – a pharmacist, perhaps? – staring at Cambot. The screen bobs up and down – yes, he’s on.]

Oh, okay. You know, you should probably have a little blinking red light or something to let people know when you’re on. You’d probably get all sorts of embarrassing videos otherwise.

But I’m getting ahead of myself.

Now, if anyone is watching, I’m sure you all have the same questions when you show up here in the middle of an evil monologue like I did. Where am I? What is this place? Am I really in space? And now that I’m here too, you’re probably expecting me to have the same questions.

…well, I do, but unlike all of you, I don’t have to worry about it, and this is why!

[The theatrical voice switches on, and with a flourish he pulls a cloth – probably a sheet from the bed – off of what looks to be some sort of ray gun.]

Behold, P- I mean, little camera robot thingy! The SendMeHomeinator! With this, I don’t need to ask all those annoying “I just got here! Oh, please help me!” questions. I just push a button, and the SendMeHomeinator sends me home, so I can finish my other evil monologue and get on with fighting my nemesis already.

So I just push the button [He pushes the ray gun’s big red button – no, not self destruct, the other one – and goes to stand in front of the gun] and stand right here, and poof! I’ll be home!

[He stands there, arms out wide, with a big smile on his face. It takes him a few moments to realize something’s not really right here.]

I already said the whole “poof” thing, you know. You can’t just leave me standing here. It’s really not cool.

[And nothing happens. Finally, he gets fed up and goes to fiddle with the controls, muttering to himself the whole time about how one faulty circuit can ruin his dramatic timing and it how he really should practice these things before getting in front of the camera for real. After a few moments of tinkering, he straightens back up.]

Right. Okay. Now all I have to do is push the button-

[He does so, and the laser fires immediately, hitting the Hang In There poster on the wall. After a brief flash of light, the poster changes. The image now depicts a kitten curled up comfortably in a basket with the words “Home Sweet Home” along the bottom. Guess who’s not pleased.]

What? Oh, no, it’s not supposed to do that! It’s supposed to send me home! It’s in the name and everything! [He heaves a sigh and opens up a panel to start tinkering.] Hang on- give me a minute, I’ll have this fixed right away.

[Yeah, Cambot may not hang around for that.]

[Not that long after the fire breaks out on the SOL, the Mads decide to give the Satellite a call. Dr. F appears on the screen, looking highly amused.]

Ahhhh, nothing smells quite like Christmas spirit like seeing space nuts roasting on an open fire!

What's the matter, yule log get out of hand? I do hope you try it again soon!

[Someone's found the backscratcher in her room. It's sitting on the floor in front of her and she's pretty intent on it. After a while, she notices Cambot.]

What is this strange device? It looks like an eating utensil, but it is so... large. Can anypony kindly tell me the purpose of such a curious thing? Is it part of the experiment we are supposed to be taking part in?

[Welp, Minako is back, in a more wench-y costume. Why? Well, because. And she's got beer and turkey legs - and a large marker board with writing on it.]

...Well, I know this is a on short notice, and I already did something a few days ago, since I was working on the comic thing for...well, quite awhile. But, I wanted to do something for this story, and I didn't think riding a Mustang into the side of the ship would be productive this time around~!

[Yes, she was being punny.]

But as I was reading the info about this book that's to be riffed this week, I learned a really interesting fact: the guy who wrote it is a Moron! Yes, a Moron. It's a religion. So I decided to learn more about these Morons. And this is what I found out!

[And thus, she goes to her marker board which has information she wrote on it! Meanwhile, Cambot puts up a subtitle: "She means Mormons."]

( Minako talks about Mormons. You've been warned. )

((OOC: No offense intended to anyone who is a practicing Mormon. This is just Minako...being Minako. XD))
