This is great. This is an awesome crowd.
Thank you so much for coming out to Littlefield.
I'd like to introduce our amazing cast.
You want to meet them? Yeah, great.
I'm all in for it, by the way. I play Plex Dexeter.
Please welcome out to the stage

Every other character

Winston Knoll,
ladies and gentlemen.
Give it up for our amazing sound designer, Shane O'Connell.
Yes, this is us.
NBC's This Is Us.
Wouldn't that be a weird cross-promotion?
Doesn't matter what the show is, just say This Is Us at the end of it.
We've got a really great show.
You guys ready to get started?
Okay, we're going to do a brand new Lost episode from season two.
Please welcome to the stage our very special guest for this episode,
Drew Johnson, ladies and gentlemen.
All right, let's get started.
It is a period of civil war.
The rebellion against the sinister and corrupt Federated Alliance grows stronger,
and the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance.
Now, rebel emissary Plek Dexeter and his intrepid crew
travel the farthest reaches of the galaxy to explore astounding new
worlds, discover their heroic
destinies, and meet
weird bug creatures
and stuff.
This is Mission
to Zix. Hey, C-53?
Yes?
I had a really weird dream last night.
Oh?
I had a dream that, like, we were all on the ship, and we were, like...
That's pretty normal so far.
Okay, well, it gets weirder.
Okay.
I'm trying to set the stage.
Oh?
We were standing aroundirder. Okay. I'm trying to set the stage. We were standing around Beano.
Okay.
And we were all really sad.
Anyway, that was the weird part.
We were sad and we were...
Beano love it when people explain their dreams.
Beano love it.
I'm sorry, Beano.
Beano think it's so interesting. Beano loves it! I'm sorry, Beano. Beano thinks it's so interesting.
Beano loves it.
Beano.
Maybe it means something, you know?
Maybe, but probably not.
Beano, you ready?
Mm-hmm.
Beano's got a line of interns for me to interview.
What?
I'm sorry, I printed out my resume.
I'm ready for...
Great.
All right, let me read this over.
Wait, sorry, Bargy, you're interviewing interns?
Yeah.
Bargy, hold on.
Gotta delegate.
What?
Gotta delegate.
Sorry, I just couldn't hear you, Vino.
Vino, no.
Bargy, what is it exactly
that the intern will do?
I'm sorry,
are you also interviewing
for the role?
Because I work here.
I work here already.
It's just that you're asking
all the questions
that I had prepared
and you're just like
totally ruining...
It's cool.
You seem very stressed out.
You know what?
I really need this internship.
C-53, let's go
look at stuff
in the cargo bay.
Oh, there's a couple interns in there, too.
Oh, no.
My greatest weakness is I'm too detail-focused.
Okay.
That's my greatest weakness.
That's mine.
That's my greatest weakness.
No, no, no, no, no.
I've seen such small details.
My father works for the Rebellion, and he said, I'm totally going to get this job.
Photoshopped a photo of me
inside of another ship.
How'd the interview go, Bargy?
I'll give it to all of them.
You can just be in that room,
the smallish room.
No, actually, that's my room.
Yeah, I know.
You can all just stay in there.
We can figure it out.
There's a lot of copies
of They Teen in here.
It's a subscription.
I don't like to throw it away until I've read all the articles.
You know, you can cancel a subscription.
Yeah, I know.
But I like it.
Emissary Dex Center, I have an incoming transmission from
Missions Operations Manager Nermin Bundeloy.
Okay.
Hey, Nermin.
Hey, guys.
Oh, I just woke up.
And then you called us?
Yeah, well...
You're allowed to, like, get your day started before...
Really?
I can pause?
Well, not now.
You've caused this.
I just...
I had the craziest dream.
Yeah, it was so crazy.
What happened?
I'm 52.
So, Plek was on the ship.
Crazy.
Then I woke up.
That was all that happened in the dream?
No, it was weird that so little happened.
My dreams, like, have at least three events.
This one, arguably not an event.
I guess that's a little weird.
Like a guy in a place?
Yeah, well.
I was asleep for six hours.
Oh.
Want a mission?
Yeah, sure.
I'll take a mission.
Okay, so get this, guys.
This is going to be pretty insane.
Do you guys know General Almost?
General Almost?
Yes.
Yeah, General Almost.
One of the most powerful generals of one of the most militant societies, possibly.
Wait, sorry, Nermin.
Should Dar be here for this mission briefing?
Because I haven't actually seen him.
Why are you looking like that?
So, Dar is writing a novel about us.
Ooh, is it called This Is Us?
Yes, it is.
That's the title of Dark Moms.
We don't love This Is Us.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It kind of spans time.
I don't know. I think it's going to start strong.
Wow.
Anyway, writing a novel is a really big deal,
so Dar is probably in their room just scribbling.
Hey, Dar?
What?
I'm working on my grief porn in here.
Oh.
We're actually getting a mission if you want to come on out.
Okay.
I'll let the muses leave me.
Those are the other interns.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Sorry.
So yeah, Dar. Hey, Dar.
Good luck on the novel.
And yeah, General Almost.
General, one of the most militant planets
not associated with the
Federated Alliance. Quite possibly
recruitable by us to the Rebellion.
Boom, boom, boom. Coordinates.
I'm sorry. Has General Olmos gotten over the death
of his perfect father?
I don't think that's...
I don't think anyone can get over the death
of their perfect father.
At least not for three seasons.
Right.
Yeah.
Oh, I get it. I got it.
Fino,
what this is us.
Oh, boy.
Wow.
It's a very regimented, clean play.
I guess I would have expected.
This is a military planet.
I wasn't kidding about it being a military planet. Everyone's just marching everywhere.
Hi. I am
not
a droid. Would you like
to see General Olmos?
Follow me?
Yeah, absolutely. Okay.
I am not a droid.
100% authentic.
I can sort of
see through her chest.
The weather today is 70 degrees Felpheus.
I'm sorry, Felpheus?
Felpheus.
Wow.
Like I mentioned, if you notice, but this person is definitely a druid.
Yeah, no, I could tell.
You know, eyes that light up for once.
Who is it?
Who's outside my office?
Just peering through a little slat in the door.
Hi, uh, hey.
I can see through the slat. Who are you?
Uh, sorry.
I'm Emissary Plec Dex Center.
This is C-53 and Dar.
We arranged a meeting through
the Rebellion. Of course.
We were just trying to see if you'd perhaps
be interested in joining the Rebellion.
You know, to stand up
against the Federated Alliance. This might actually be easier if you just perhaps be interested in joining the Rebellion, you know, to stand up against the Federated Alliance.
This might actually be easier if you just open the door.
Fine, come in, come in.
Come into my office.
Okay.
Wow, a lot of medals.
Thank you.
My name is General Edward James Almost.
Wow. Wow.
Okay.
That's my name.
Yeah, no, we got it. I don't think anyone missed it.
No.
Okay.
General Almost, thanks for taking this meeting.
Are you a robot?
Am I a robot?
What's your name?
Emissary Plelex Dex Center.
Plex Dex Center?
Yeah, that's right.
I gotta tell you, you gotta watch out on this planet.
We Tellurians, we created robots.
They rebelled.
They took over.
Some of them look like Tellurians.
You can never tell who's a Tellurian and who's a robot.
You can usually tell.
Yeah, I feel like...
I don't want to...
Plek.
Sorry.
Plek, can I see you over here real quick?
Yeah, of course.
Okay.
Well, he pulled Plek into an aside right away.
It just feels like that's kind of our thing.
That's usually what we do.
Plek.
Yes.
I'm very good at telling who's a robot and who's not.
Your friend C-53 is a robot.
Yeah.
Yeah, he is.
Do you know how I can tell?
You know what?
Give it away.
C-53.
Yo.
Very small office.
C-53, I'm sorry.
Give us just a second.
C-53, are you a robot?
Yes, I'm a robot.
See, I can tell. Very good. I'm very good. That's why I'm a second. C53, are you a robot? Yes, I'm a robot. See, I can tell.
Very good.
I'm very good.
That's why I'm a general.
I'm so good at knowing who are robots and who are not.
And who's coming to take over.
Hold on.
Anyone can be a robot.
Okay, all right.
General, I have brought you your coffee.
Thank you.
I have had coffee before.
Oh, yum, yum.
Goodbye.
See?
You can tell that she's not a robot.
Uh, I don't know.
Because she's had coffee before.
And coffee, robots can't have coffee.
Watch this, C-53.
Hot coffee!
No!
Oh, no!
Why did you throw a hot coffee at him?
Why did you do that?
If it was a Tellurian, it would have drank that hot coffee.
No! How? In midair? Tellurian, it would have drank that hot coffee. Help!
It would have opened its mouth and caught the hot coffee.
Don't belittle me, robot.
Okay, all right, all right, all right.
Hey, hey.
I've got a gun.
No, no, no.
No, General.
I've got a big gun, and this gun is Tellurian.
Okay, all right. It shouldn't matter. This gun is Tellurian. Okay, all right.
It shouldn't matter.
This gun is not a robot.
It shouldn't matter.
All right, all right, all right.
You should die, you dirty robot.
Okay, all right, all right, all right.
All right, listen.
Listen, General.
What do you want?
General Almos, listen.
We are not here to start any issues with you.
We don't have any beef.
We want to...
I got a little beef.
Okay, well, we sort of do now, but...
You can't have beef.
You're a robot.
Watch this. Beef! No, we sort of do now. You can't have beef. You're a robot. Watch this.
Beef!
Where are you getting that?
I'm like,
where did you just pull a slab of beef from?
I have some sitting in my drawer
in case a robot comes in.
I think before we ask you for help, General,
we need to maybe offer to help you.
What is happening on this planet, and is there anything we can do?
All right, I'll tell you.
But that one needs to leave.
Listen, I'll leave.
I'll step outside.
But before I go, beef!
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
Oh, wow.
He was as good as his work.
Okay.
What do you think I do most of the time?
I practice eating flying coffee and beef.
Sometimes at the same time.
And it doesn't affect me well because I'm a Tellurian and not a robot.
You guys can say just coffee and raw beef?
I don't think that's good for you.
You wouldn't know.
I can still know things.
You know what?
I'm just going to... Thank you, C-53.
Wow.
I'm just trying to
get around. Okay, if you just go underneath.
If you just shimmy.
Ooh, okay.
Oh, wow. Good job, guys.
Alright. Listen,
General Olmos, what happened
to this planet?
How did robots take over?
It was a terrible, terrible time.
My perfect father.
Oh, boy.
He created.
Oh, no.
I'm listening.
I have a perfect father.
He died a while ago, three seasons ago.
Do you mind if I actually take notes while you share this very personal backstory?
Absolutely.
You can do it.
You can do it.
I'm going to take out my typewriter and just, don't mind me.
Okay.
My perfect father made a new prototype of a robot.
A super intelligent robot.
It's called a Skylon.
S-C-Y-L-O-N.
That's what he called it.
That's fine. He was perfect, so I had
to spell it right.
He created it.
C53.
I think you were just saying
Cylon. No.
C-53.
You need to calm down.
You're right.
You're right.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I'm walking away.
Thank you.
He created an ultra-sensitive, an ultra-insane robot that could mimic.
Soon, they rebelled.
They evolved. They have a plan to take over
they're going to kill every single
tellurian on this planet and they
look like us sometimes
but what happened to your dad
oh what happened to my dad
well me and my two siblings
I think
one is
a different race I think
oh no this is what we would Uh, one is a different race, I think.
Oh, no.
No, I think this is what, we would, our friends, me, we would always say, this is us.
That's all we would say constantly.
Uh-huh.
No, this is very good.
This is working for me. Okay, good, good.
My husband, I am checking to see what time you'll come home tonight.
Oh, hello, honey.
Oh, no.
What?
This is my wife. Oh, no. What? This is my wife.
Oh, no.
Please.
My darling husband.
How are you, Tellurian wife?
This is my Tellurian wife.
How are you, Tellurian wife?
I am doing...
Good.
Sounds like something's on her mind.
What's on your mind?
My darling husband.
I need you to look over these papers.
Thank you.
I printed it out of my body like a tellurian.
Thank you, tellurian wife.
Oh, boy.
All right.
I can look.
Yes, I'll give you all the information.
Okay, those coordinates that you asked for are 72.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
What?
General almost.
Your Tellurian wife just printed a fax out of her midsection.
Yeah.
Can I just ask, before you finish those coordinates, what are those for?
The coordinates are for a special reactor that I found.
That they were asking for.
Actually, you know what?
Let me read those coordinates for you.
Just in case.
Fine, if you're really a Tullurian, you read it.
Yep, okay.
All right.
765, 482, 3x49, 17 degrees, 2. 3, X, 4, 9.
17 degrees.
15.
Did you just want to prove you could read?
Why did you do that?
I'm just giving you those coordinates to that special reactor.
I'm sure that's where it is, because those are definitely the numbers written on this piece of paper.
Thank you.
I will kiss you on the mouth like Talarians do.
Thank you. Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
Yum, yum, yum, yum.
That's our first half. We'll be back in ten minutes.
Get a drink. We'll see you soon. Listen, General Almost, I hate to be the bearer of bad news,
but your wife is a robot.
What?
Yeah.
What?
Tellurian wife, step out in a second.
I need to clear something up.
I'm sorry, you're just gonna have to
You're gonna have to crawl up my front and then over my head
I can jump over your head
Oh no, wow
Uh, she was a gymnast
I don't
I don't think so
General almost, I hate to
How dare you, how dare you insinuate
I've got a gun
Listen, shoot me if you must But I know that the thing you care about...
Shoot you if he must?
This is not something...
Yeah, you're probably right.
I should have said that.
Please, okay, please don't shoot me.
I'm trying to help you.
Robots are trying to take over your planet, right?
General, I'm going to ask you a big favor, okay?
Can you just trust me for a second?
Okay. I'm going to bring
C-53 back in here. He is a
robot. I know he's a robot. But he's my
friend. Okay. He knows better
than any of us what robots are like.
Better than anybody?
Well, second to you, I guess.
Thank you. Okay, bring him in.
All right, C-53, come on in.
Can you...
Okay. All right.
And?
Okay.
There we go.
General, I apologize for how I behaved before.
It was a little brusque of my part, and for that, I am sorry.
Apology accepted.
Okay, well...
Oh, wow.
All right.
Good.
I feel like this is a positive step in Tellurian droid relations.
Now, listen, if we can help you out, because
I'm a Tellurian, so I
get Tellurians. And I'm a
droid, so I get droids.
And Dar... Is writing a book.
Yeah. Yeah. You're an author?
Yes.
Very cool.
That's why I'm doing it.
Very cool. Thank you. General Almas, I guess I'm a it Very cool General Almas
I guess I'm a little surprised to find out you're a reader
Like a big book person
Of course I'm a reader
I love all the books
All the books?
Name a book and I'll tell you if I've read it and if I like it
Sure
It's the star's fault, have you read that one?
I did
And I don't think it was the star's fault I think it was the star's fault. Have you read that one? I did, and I don't think it was the star's fault. I think it was the robot's fault.
Fair enough.
I disagreed with the premise immediately.
Uh-huh.
Okay. Have you read The Elderly Gentleman and his star trip?
I did. It won the... Yeah, it won an award.
Yeah.
It did.
Yeah, I liked that one, okay?
Okay.
General Ramos?
Sorry, I just wanted to come in and give you your coffee.
Thank you.
Wait.
Yes?
I've never seen you before.
Oh, I'm new here.
I'm a new intern.
Are you a Tellurian or are you a robot?
I'm a Tellurian.
We're doing a robot test.
I'm shooting you in the head.
Bang!
No!
It's jammed. Here we go. Here we go doing a robot test. I'm shooting you in the head. Bang! Jammed.
Here we go, here we go, here we go.
No, no, no, no, no.
We really should have used that moment
when it was jammed to take it out.
I should have, I should have.
That's not nice.
Ah, she was a tellurian.
You can see because of all the brains on the wall.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
General, almost.
You can't live like this.
If it was a robot, that wouldn't be brains, and then we'd know
it's a robot. General!
Uh-oh. The rest of your
war cabinet is here.
Oh, the war cabinet.
Ready to plan the offensive against
the other robots. Alright.
And you're all gonna come into this office.
Oh, don't. Please don't do that.
Yeah, we're gonna cram into this office. Oh, no.. Please don't do that. Yeah, we're going to cram into this office.
Oh, no.
You can never be too careful.
You can never be too careful.
Fill me up in here.
Let's just sort of.
All right.
We're going to do.
All right.
A lot of Tellurians and one robot.
Let's do a roll call.
Who's here?
I'm here.
General Edward James Almost.
Let's go clockwise.
John Zero Onesden.
Yep, that's a Tellurian.
Lieutenant Droid.
That's a Tellurian.
Robots be robots
here.
That's a Tellurian, and that's a good point.
Robots be robots.
That's true.
We all took showers
before this, like Tellurians. Oh, great. We all took showers before this. Oh, great.
We all took showers just like Tellurians would do.
I skipped therapy.
Oh, what a Tellurian thing.
You would get it.
You would get it.
You're an author.
You know psychology.
Very cool.
And I think therapy is very important.
Therapy is a form of wall-mounted power.
Pretty close.
Close enough for me.
We should say allow the coordinates of the reactor.
That does seem like the first logical step of this meeting.
Oh, no.
Wait, Plek, where are the coordinates?
The coordinates that my wife printed out of her stomach?
I don't have them anymore.
Wait a second, Plek.
Plek, can I talk to you over here in the corner?
No, you can't.
No?
We can look at the corner while we talk.
Great, let's look at the corner while we talk.
All right.
I'm in between the both of you.
It is what it is, C-53.
All right, I'll pretend. C-53, I have to the both of you. It's just, it is what it is, C-53. All right, I'll pretend.
C-53, I have to be honest with you.
You're an okay robot.
Oh.
Well, thank you.
I wish you weren't so prejudiced against all other droids, but...
They're trying to kill all of the Tellurians.
Yeah, what is the deal with the droids?
I'm a droid.
Honestly, I've never killed a Tellurian, but I don't yearn to do it.
Yeah, it's not like his thing.
Yeah.
The Tullurians.
Okay.
The Skylons.
Okay, I'll tell you it again.
The Skylons.
Yeah.
They were invented by Tullurians.
They evolved.
Your dad, specifically.
What?
Yes, my dad.
Your nearly perfect father. You got it, author.
Right, yeah.
My nearly perfect father created the robots.
They evolved.
They rebelled.
Yeah, see, no, that's the part.
I feel like there's got to be a lot more detail in there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Evolved, rebelled.
I'm sorry, do you mind if I just set my typewriter on top of your flat chrome head?
Of course not.
Thank you.
I'm going to continue to take notes.
That's good, but just be aware.
He's a little sensitive about being bald.
You've got to watch out for that.
I am too.
That's a tellurian.
It happened so early in my life.
It was awkward, but now I'm old enough where it's normal.
I want a self-aware robot. Self-aware robot? This is a tellurian. It was awkward, but now I'm old enough where it's normal.
I want a self-aware robot.
A self-aware robot?
This is a Tellurian.
I'm so sorry.
Yes, that's what I meant.
Tellurian. Some say the robots decided to rebel because that nearly perfect father wasn't so perfect.
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
Could you say that again?
I can type for you at 160,000 words per minute.
Standard Tellurian stuff.
Yes.
Look, the entire planet is going to be taken over by the robots.
And it's my duty to stay here and make sure that this is my home world.
And we'll be right beside you, helping you defeat the robot scourge.
That's right.
I found all the obvious Tellurians, and we're going to save this planet.
Who wants a cappuccino from my eye?
It comes out of your eye?
I would like one, thank you.
No! General Almost.
General Almost.
You are surrounded by robots.
What?
Robot B-Robot is a robot. Lieutenant Droid is a robot.
If Robot B-Robot is a robot, then would he survive
this?
I'm shooting him
in the head.
Robot B. Robot.
Are all of you
robots?
He's so strong.
I'm shooting all of you in the head.
Oh no.
It's so strong. So strong. I'm shooting all of you in the head. Oh, no. It's a robot.
Oh, my.
I'm surrounded by robots.
You three, we got to run.
We got to run out of this tiny room.
You can never leave.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
All right.
Oh, we have a gun.
Sounds like you have three guns.
You sound like multiple guns.
Listen, surely there's a peaceful way out of this.
Look, robot be robot.
Me and you have been through a lot together.
You cannot be a robot. Please come clean with me.
Your father enslaved the robots to do his bidding.
No.
To perform labor.
This is the detail I was talking about.
Right. His nearly
perfect father created robots.
Rabbits?
Rabbits or robots?
I mean, he got shot in the head a lot.
Yeah, that's fair.
They were made to do slave labor.
General Olmos, you know,
maybe you gotta realize that, you know, maybe you gotta
realize that, you know,
a perfect father is
sort of a fiction.
He was perfect to me.
Well, no, he made robot
slaves. That's not a perfect father.
Knock, knock. Knock, knock.
My husband. Oh.
My beautiful
Tellurian wife. I have returned
with our son. Oh, my beautiful Tellurian wife. I have returned with our son.
Oh, yes.
What?
Yes, we had a son.
This is our son.
This is a robot dog.
No.
How dare you say that?
You know what?
I like you for a while.
I've got a gun.
I like you. I've got a gun. I like you.
I've got a gun.
I liked you for a long time, C-53, but you're calling my son a robot dog?
General, almost.
Listen to your son.
What?
I thought it was just because I threw hot coffee in his face.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Don't you see?
Is it not?
