Episode Date: February 6, 2019

Open your hangar bays, because we’ll be back March 20th with Season 3! And get this: We’re now part of the Maximum Fun podcast network. We are tremendously pumped to join such a great roster of shows, on a fan-supported, artist-owned network. Or as C-53’s pelvis would say: Let’s P-p-p-p-party!

Hey everybody, this is Alden Ford here. As you probably know, I play Emissary Plek Decksetter. We have some very exciting news for you. Starting in Season 3, coming up next month, Mission to Zix will be moving to the Maximum Fun Network. We're very excited about this. It's an awesome podcast network full of like-minded comedians and artists and geeks. It's listener-supported, it's artist-owned,

and we are honestly proud to be part of a network alongside so many amazing shows. So for those of you just joining us, maybe you're a Maximum Fun listener and you're just hearing about the show now, welcome. Mission to Zix is a ridiculous space adventure about a ragtag team of ambassadors in the farthest reaches of deep space. Our show is improvised and then it's lovingly edited and it's obsessively sound designed to create one big, crazy space epic. And we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoy making it. So for those of you just tuning in, we have put together a little intro into the show.

Mission to Zix. Enjoy. We have put together a little intro into the show. Mission to Zix. Enjoy. Emissary deck setter, I have an incoming transmission from missions operations manager, Nermin Bumfoy. Oh, okay. Hey, Nermin, what's up?

Hey, guys. I know it's a day off, but I got this email and it was in all caps, so I knew I had to contact you immediately. I don't think that's what all caps... Some people just don't know how to use keyboards, so you don't have to, like... What? No, I think it does. I think pretty much you don't do that unless it's really urgent and important. No, my aunt pretty much only types in all caps. Yeah.

You might want to look at those messages. They may all be urgent. From Dar's aunt? Yeah. Okay. Dubious. Anyway, here's the email. Dear crew of the Bargerian... Now you can probably just relax on it.

Just understand that we know it's all cast. Okay. Dear crew of the Bargerian Jade, what do you do? Oh, wow. That's the whole message? Yeah. What do we do? Who sent this message? This is from Jay Thorne. Oh. Didn't put their first? This is from J. Thorne.

Oh. Didn't put their first name, huh? J. Thorne. I once stayed at a J. Oh, yeah? It was a tiny ship. Oh. Like a fighter?

Like a little fighter jet. Bargy, what's it like when you date a ship smaller than you? Like, is it weird, the dynamics? No. Oh, that's nice like when you date a ship smaller than you? Is it weird, the dynamics? No. Oh, that's nice. Can I ask you a question? I have a question. What do you do?

Okay, fair enough. Sure, sure, sure. Well, Jay, we are a team of emissaries, sort of like ambassadors, going from planet to planet. And we, you know, gather information, resources, and, you know, we're sort of like a team of space heroes. Heroes? Yeah, heroes.

That's a strong exaggeration. Space friends? I don't really push as hard. Friends is a strong word. Space people? Some of us aren't people. Okay, fair enough. Yeah, one of us is a ship.

Yeah, that's okay. Okay, fine. C53, what do you do? Well, I am C53. I'm a protocol and diplomatic relations droid. I assist a Tellurian agent. That is, of course, a Plak-Texter. That's me.

Communicating with alien species, helping him navigate the many social guidelines that he may not be familiar with. That's most of them, I'd say. Yes, but I didn't want to give a bad impression of you to this person. That's alright. I'm generally doing a lot of work.

Okay, good. See, that was like a great answer. It was very informative. Was that good? Yeah. I just realized I never said my name. I'm Plek. Yes, that's why I said answer. It was very informative. Was that good? Yeah. I just realized I never said my name. I'm Plek. Yes, that's why I said it. Darb, what do you do exactly? Well, I would say my sexual appetite is insatiable. So I really do many different types of... No, that's not...

That's part of the question. Are your ship-based duties? Yeah. Oh, my technical position is security officer, but I do whatever the check I want. I mean, that's true. Yeah. That is accurate. That checks out. Yeah.

Wow. Oh, Daria, you also didn't even tell this person how tall you are. You're huge. You're like 12 feet tall. 12 feet tall? What is this measurement? I don't know. I think it's probably based on like a Tellurian foot, like one of my feet.

I'm 12. Let's see for ourselves probably based on, like, a Tellurian foot, like one of my feet. I'm 12 of these. Let's see for ourselves here. No, no, please. One, two. Ah! Ah! Ah! I am way taller than 12 of these foots. Oh, fuck. This is why we use standardized units of measurement. Okay. We avoid situations like this.

All right, fine. Did you drop your measuring plaque? And I'm by Jerry and Jane. Oh, yeah, Bargy. Ship of the Stars. I used to be the greatest Hollywood star you've ever seen. I was in every single movie.

Name a movie, I was probably in it either in the background, foreground, upground, downground. You know, I was part of all the greatest historical moments of Hollywood. And now I'm working here for you, because it all went away.

We're the crew of you. Yeah, yeah, whatever. Also, I'm the ship. I am, to clarify, the ship that you're all in. If you want to get technical about it, yes. Thanks, Bargy. It's a pleasure. Alright, that's it. And I am, of course, Missions Operations Manager, thanks. Thanks, Bargy. It's a pleasure. Yeah.

All right, that's it. And I am, of course, Missions Operations Manager Nermid Bundeloy. I'm alert. My species is halfway evolving from lizards into birds, which is, I think,

overly technical. No, I don't know. I think they probably don't need that information. I assign the missions to this possibly the best crew in, I'd say, the best quadrant, the Zix quadrant

of the Tramillion sector. Objectively false. What about this other person that we're not talking about? There's someone else in the ship. What? What do you mean there's someone else in the ship? Oh, boy. Wow, that's bad.

Okay. My butt's on fire! What? Oh, boy. Nermit, this guy's butt's on fire. We gotta go. Is it a species that their butts are on fire? Or is it a...

Oh, well, that's not so bad. Are you okay? Why are you asking questions about it? No, we're just... It's sort of a Q&A type moment. Help me put my butt in! Hey buddy, we didn't stow away on this ship. Also, if your whole species' butts are on fire, isn't that like what you are?

I'm a cruel joke of the universe! Do something! And there you have it. Integrity. Always integrity. You can listen to the first two seasons of Mission to Zix right now, all featuring this amazing voice cast and a ton of incredible guest comedians every episode. And get ready for season three to launch on March 20th, Wednesday, March 20th, on Maximum Fun.

Very excited. See you there.
