==== Plot ====

The episode opens with a ship leaving the Hub on a mission from [[IAN]], in lieu of the [[AH.com Ship]].  It is soon revealed that this is the MSS //Luakel//, crewed entirely by [[luakel]]s.  Its engines fail and it crashes immediately.

[[IAN]] thus sends [[Blue Max]] to recruit a new crew.  He meets [[Big Tex]] and [[Wolf]] in the Pub, and the next day reveals a new ship for them: The //[[MES Stranger]]//. (Their previous ship was lost in an unspecified incident involving a poodle, a nuke, the Alamo, and spaghetti sauce.)  The rest of the crew assembles in the ship, and all are launched on their first mission.

At the destination timeline, it is discovered that the Moon, as well as famous monuments all over the planet, has been replaced with a llama statue.  The crew beams down in two parties; Team 1 is captured by ninjas working for "The Overlord", while other ninjas curtail the effectiveness of Team 2.

Team 1 is brought before the Overlord: [[Urusai_inFi_|Urusai[inFi]]], who attempts to unleash a giant Man-Eating Llama on the world.  Unfortunately for him, he is eaten by the llama, which [[Hashasheen]] blows up before it consumes Team 1.

In the end, [[Blue Max]] reveals that this whole mission was, in fact, a test of the //Stranger//'s mettle.
