There are billions of stars, millions of planets, but there is only one man, Terrance McDoogal. Welcome to LIU Atlas.
LIU Atlas - Aurelia
The Ludgonian Industrial Union's galaxy contains billions of stars and billions of planets. Unfortunately, most residents of the LIU could only name a handful of these worlds. In order to improve astronomy grades across the LIU, TV2 has started a new program called LIU Atlas. Follow our host, Terrance McDoogal, as he takes you on a tour across the LIU and some of its more obscure worlds.

Doog: “Welcome to another special edition episode of LIU Atlas. I’m your host, Terrance “Doog” McDoogal. We’re still checking out the planet, Nexui, but today we are focusing on Nexui’s capital, Aurelia. I’ve traveled two hours north from the Liora Estate, and the city is coming into view.”
Doog: “During these special edition episodes, we like to focus on culture instead of the economy. However, while we make the approach into Aurelia, I’m going to quickly sum up the city’s economy while showing some stock footage. Aurelia is the galaxy’s only manufacturer of Nexovane, a shimmering, soft fabric. It is shipped to Aurelia from the neighboring estates in its liquid form, Nexorin. Only under the strictest control is it processed into Nexovane.”
Doog: “Nexovane fabric isn’t exported in its raw form. It is sent to expert artisanal tailors here in Aurelia. They safely dye and form the fabric with their years of expertise. It is then sold to luxury garment manufacturers in Aurelia, where it is turned into some of the galaxy’s most expensive and fashionable clothing.”
Doog: “Alright folks, I’m in the city, and I’ve met up with part of the crew.”
Mike: “I can’t believe I’m in the galaxy’s fashion capital!”
Seitse: “I could spend a fortune here.”
Doog: “I didn’t realize how many businesses could revolve around fashion. Every place we’ve passed has been some type clothing store or dye shop. I even saw a place selling Nexovane dog collars.”
Mike: “I bet they even eat clothing in this city.”
Amaya: “Probably not, but speaking of clothing, we need to find something for Doog to wear.”
Doog: “What’s wrong with what I’m wearing?”
Seitse: “You’ve been wearing it all day, and you’re sweaty.”
Amaya: “It has no sleeves.”
Mike: “It smells.”
Doog: “And?”
Mike: “I can’t believe I’m in the galaxy’s fashion capital!”
Seitse: “I could spend a fortune here.”
Doog: “I didn’t realize how many businesses could revolve around fashion. Every place we’ve passed has been some type clothing store or dye shop. I even saw a place selling Nexovane dog collars.”

Seitse: “You’ve been wearing it all day, and you’re sweaty.”
Amaya: “It has no sleeves.”
Mike: “It smells.”
Doog: “And?”
Amaya: “And? We’re going to one of the planet’s biggest fashion shows! There will be a lot of reporters there, and LIU Atlas needs some good exposure. You can’t walk in looking like that.”
Doog: “Alright, alright.”
Amaya: “We don’t have much in the budget for anything too fancy, especially after Mike, Seitse, and I got new outfits. But I think we might be able to find something good enough at this place.”
Doog: “‘Where are my pants’? You guys get nice, new clothes, but I’m expected to shop at ‘Where are my pants?’!”
Mike: “It doesn’t look too bad.”
Amaya: “It’s a discount shop. Some stuff is marked down 70%. We might be able to find something nice.”
Doog: “Sigh.”
Doog: “Alright, alright.”
Amaya: “We don’t have much in the budget for anything too fancy, especially after Mike, Seitse, and I got new outfits. But I think we might be able to find something good enough at this place.”
Doog: “‘Where are my pants’? You guys get nice, new clothes, but I’m expected to shop at ‘Where are my pants?’!”

Doog: “Sigh.”
Zed: “Welcome customers. I am Zed the Cyborg Fashion Assistant. Can I help you find your pants? If my spectral scanner is correct, you look like a 42X30. We have many varieties in that size.”
Doog: “First off, I’m way smaller than that. I’m easily a 38X30.”
Zed: “Ah, of course. You must be an under the belly guy that likes them tight. Got it. We have pants in that size as well.”
Doog: “Uh, yeah. What about suits though?”
Doog: “First off, I’m way smaller than that. I’m easily a 38X30.”
Zed: “Ah, of course. You must be an under the belly guy that likes them tight. Got it. We have pants in that size as well.”
Doog: “Uh, yeah. What about suits though?”
Zed: “Suits are another story, I’m afraid. We don’t fully stock the store with suits. We’re definitely more focused on pants. The only suits you’ll find here are in the discount bin over there.”
Doog: “I guess I’ll start rummaging through it.”
Zed: “Let me save you some time. I calculate that only one suit in the bin will meet your size requirements…”
Doog: “I guess I’ll start rummaging through it.”
Zed: “Let me save you some time. I calculate that only one suit in the bin will meet your size requirements…”
Doog: “I can’t believe this is the only suit they had in my size! I look like an idiot.”
Mike: “I wouldn’t say idiot, but radioactive banana comes to mind.”
Seitse: “Construction worker chic, if you ask me.”
Amaya: “Quit it, you two. He looks great…well, better than he did.”
Mike: “If you ever get out of the TV business, you’d make a good…”
Mike: “I wouldn’t say idiot, but radioactive banana comes to mind.”
Seitse: “Construction worker chic, if you ask me.”
Amaya: “Quit it, you two. He looks great…well, better than he did.”
Mike: “If you ever get out of the TV business, you’d make a good…”
Mike: “…Eggs-treme mascot. You already have the suit for it.”
Doog: “Shut it, Mike!”
Doog: “Shut it, Mike!”
Doog: “Whoa, that’s a big building.”
Mike: “So tall and fancy, I wonder what it is?”
Seitse: “You guys really don’t recognize this building or that emblem?”
Amaya: “Yeah, seriously. This is the headquarters of one of the most well-known brands in the galaxy.”
Doog: “Holo-porn HQ?”
Amaya: “What?! No! Think of clothing.”
Mike: “We don’t know anything about clothing, especially Doog. I mean…look at him.”
Amaya: “Sigh. This is the headquarters of Quotidien.”
Doog: “Quotidien?”
Mike: “So tall and fancy, I wonder what it is?”
Seitse: “You guys really don’t recognize this building or that emblem?”
Amaya: “Yeah, seriously. This is the headquarters of one of the most well-known brands in the galaxy.”
Doog: “Holo-porn HQ?”
Amaya: “What?! No! Think of clothing.”
Mike: “We don’t know anything about clothing, especially Doog. I mean…look at him.”
Amaya: “Sigh. This is the headquarters of Quotidien.”
Doog: “Quotidien?”
Amaya: “Yeah, they’re a popular luxury clothing brand.”
Seitse: “They focus on everyday fashion, so think more like cute, daily outfits than fancy, formal dresses or suits.”
Doog: “I should have gotten something here instead of looking like a pencil.”
Amaya: “Yeah, right. We couldn’t afford socks from this place.”
Doog: “I thought you said it was everyday clothing?”
Seitse: “Everyday for the rich and elite.”
Amaya: “Most of it is pure Nexovane.”
Seitse: “They focus on everyday fashion, so think more like cute, daily outfits than fancy, formal dresses or suits.”

Seitse: “Everyday for the rich and elite.”
Amaya: “Most of it is pure Nexovane.”
Mike: “Look, the building even has a runway coming out of it.”
Seitse: “Yeah, they do nonstop fashion shows.”
Doog: “There’s another even higher! That has to be fifty or more floors up!”
Seitse: “That’s for the hovercars that drive by.”
Doog: “I wouldn’t want that job. I’m getting freaked out just looking at it up there.”
Amaya: “Fun fact, Quotidien only uses the Modocycla race as models. They were voted best looking race by ranked-choice-voting.”
Doog: “I didn’t understand most of that, but someone out there might get some value out of it.”
Mike: “Yeah, not very fun with all the big words thrown in there.”
Seitse: “Yeah, they do nonstop fashion shows.”
Doog: “There’s another even higher! That has to be fifty or more floors up!”

Mike: “Yeah, not very fun with all the big words thrown in there.”
Amaya: “Alright, we’re finally here, Aurelia’s Grand Gallery. This place is home to the galaxy’s biggest fashion shows.”
Seitse: “There’s a show here at least once a week.”
Amaya: “Yes, but we’re here for one of the biggest of the year. BLUE IS IN by the designer Briene Arcovis!”
Seitse: “Yes!”
Doog: “You guys are way more excited than me – I’m dreading this. I didn’t know there would be so many cameras. The whole galaxy is going to see this monstrous suit!”
Amaya: “Oh, relax. These cameras aren’t here for you or I. They’re trying to catch celebrities.”
Doog: “Uh, I am a celebrity.”
Seitse: “Something tells me that you’re not on par with these other celebrities. I mean, that’s Rosa Chessi and Rhett Targar in front of us.”
Doog: “I’ve never heard of either. They can’t be that famous.”
Seitse: “There’s a show here at least once a week.”
Amaya: “Yes, but we’re here for one of the biggest of the year. BLUE IS IN by the designer Briene Arcovis!”
Seitse: “Yes!”

Doog: “I’ve never heard of either. They can’t be that famous.”
Kelly: “Ok, Bert. Next up we have super-couple Rhett Targar and Rosa Chessi. The Bullan heartthrob, Rhett, won best actor this year after his spectacular performance in the war film, Between Galaxies.”
Bert: “Rosa knows all about that award, Kelly…being a three-time winner herself. Right now, she’s focusing on music, with her debut album, Let Her Cook, releasing next month. Digital pre-sales of the highly anticipated album are already setting records.”

Doog: “Ok, they might be a tiny bit more famous than me.”
Mike: “Just a bit.”
Doog: “Oh man, we’re next! I’m freaking out!”
Mike: “Just a bit.”
Doog: “Oh man, we’re next! I’m freaking out!”
Kelly: “Let’s see, who’s next. Ah, yes. It’s none other than Amaya Moneta, granddaughter of shipping tycoon, Myrna Moneta. Amaya is associate producer of a show called LIU Atlas. It looks like she brought some of crew as well. How nice.”
Bert: “Wait, I think I recognize that guy in the front, as well. Yeah, I definitely saw him before. He was at the spaceport when we landed. He was directing flights on the runway.”
Kelly: “Those were traffic cones, Bert.”
Bert: “Oh…”
Bert: “Wait, I think I recognize that guy in the front, as well. Yeah, I definitely saw him before. He was at the spaceport when we landed. He was directing flights on the runway.”
Kelly: “Those were traffic cones, Bert.”
Bert: “Oh…”
Doog: “I hate my life right now.”
Amaya: “You’ll be fine. Forget about it and watch the show.”
Doog: “Not only did he not recognize me as a TV Host, he confused me with a traffic cone!”
Amaya: “You’ll be fine. Forget about it and watch the show.”
Doog: “Not only did he not recognize me as a TV Host, he confused me with a traffic cone!”
Doog: “Shop at ‘Where are my Pants’, Doog. They’ll have something great, you said. We need you to look good for our show, you said. How did that look good for the show!”
Amaya: “It’s been twenty minutes, Doog. Get over it. Everything will be fine.”
Seitse: “You’re so worked up about a fifteen second comment from someone you don’t even know, that you’re missing the show.”
Amaya: “It’s been twenty minutes, Doog. Get over it. Everything will be fine.”
Seitse: “You’re so worked up about a fifteen second comment from someone you don’t even know, that you’re missing the show.”
Doog: “I wouldn’t say I’m ‘missing’ anything. It’s just people wearing blue!”
Mike: “I bet you wish the theme was bright light orange.”
Doog: “Exactly. I wearing the exact opposite of cool right now.”
Mike: “I bet you wish the theme was bright light orange.”
Doog: “Exactly. I wearing the exact opposite of cool right now.”
Announcer: “Sinja’s cape is pure Aranea Sericon silk with handstitched Nexovane snowflakes. It’s sure to be a hit on ice worlds. Look at that shine! Give us a spin Sinja!”
Crowd: “Ooh, ahh.”
Doog: “It’s a blue cape! Who cares!”
Crowd: “Ooh, ahh.”
Doog: “It’s a blue cape! Who cares!”
Amaya: “You better stop shouting and hating on everything. Not only are you embarrassing us, you’re going to get in trouble! These elites don’t play around.”
Doog: “I’d rather be in jail than watch this blue parade in this stupid suit.”
Amaya: “Ok, fine. Every time you make a negative comment, I’m forcing you to wear that suit for an episode.”
Doog: “You wouldn’t.”
Amaya: “Watch me.”
Doog: “I’d rather be in jail than watch this blue parade in this stupid suit.”
Amaya: “Ok, fine. Every time you make a negative comment, I’m forcing you to wear that suit for an episode.”
Doog: “You wouldn’t.”
Amaya: “Watch me.”
Doog: “That outfit is….so great…. hooray.”
Amaya: “That’s what I thought.”
Doog: “Sigh.”
Amaya: “That’s what I thought.”
Doog: “Sigh.”
Doog: “Well folks, that’s the city of Aurelia. This whole city is devoted to fashion. They make clothes, design clothes, and sell clothes. You can buy fabric, dyes, shoes, and any accessory imaginable. Some of the biggest luxury brands are based out of Aurelia. This fashion capital sets galactic trends and showcases the newest fashion. Although most of the galaxy could never pay for the luxury stuff, you can bet that people across the galaxy are going to be wearing more blue clothing for a while. Oh well, I guess I’m just going to sit here and shut up, I don’t ever want to wear this suit again. See ya!”
Note: This is the 1,200th time BLUE has been IN this decade. Fads flip quick in a galaxy of trillions.
