Captain Seymour DickLogic surveyed his fleet with a practised eye. He knew everything there was to be known about this magnificent display of force. He furrowed his brow and massaged his perfectly chiselled chin. There was an obstacle of unprecedented size in the way of progress. It dwarfed his fleet and sent shattering space waves in all directions. He grunted disapprovingly as the currents around the sides of the obstacle threatened to tear his fleet to shreds. That would never do.
Impossible, the obstacle was moving with such power that the space waves threatened to inundate the whole fleet except the capital ship that had pulled back to survey the surrounding space from afar.
The twin stars of Right and Left swirled into view as The Forbidden Zone revealed itself...
"Something on your mind, Seymour?" Doctor Firm-Posterior asked in her best sultry voice, putting the fleet on the shelf of the Cosmogalactibath out of the way.
"No, not really. I was just thinking allegorical thoughts." Captain Seymour DickLogic shrugged as the capital ship spiralled helplessly towards The Forbidden Zone.
"That must mean that the side-effects are starting to wear off. I shall complain to MEDICENT that the new grand unified Space Rabies booster shots have much worse side-effects than usual." Doctor Firm-Posterior pouted longingly as the twin stars, Right and Left, crashed into the chiselled torso and the capital ship was lost, absorbed into The Forbidden Zone's eternal darkness. "Poor Ensign Lovelyjugs missed her shots too. We really should search for her," she added lustily as the capital ship docked.
"Why?" Captain Seymour DickLogic grunted, "she's just a red shirt. We can pick up a new batch before the next episode." Speaking of episodes, he could feel the side-effects drawing Doctor Firm-Posterior ever closer. It would be impossible to escape even with maximum thrusting, the ship was doomed.
"I heard she might be a plot device." The good doctor breathed deeply. Oh, the terrible side-effects of Space Rabies shots!
"A plot device!" Captain Seymour DickLogic ejaculated incredulously.
