LIU Atlas - A14-S25
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.
Note: This episode is presented in full screen. The corresponding dialogue is underneath each photo.
Mike: “Seriously? Why you worried about that? We’re doing a radio show.”
Doog: “I don’t know. I’m nervous, I guess. We’ll have a galaxy-wide audience.”
Mike: “I think you’re overestimating the amount of listeners we’ll have. I mean, the station broadcasts galaxy-wide, but who listens to the radio these days.”
Cam: “Yeah, subspace radio is obsolete.”
Oldie: “What! It’s not obsolete! I listen to Galactic Radio all the time.”
Cam: “That’s because you’re old.”
Mike: “Yeah. You’re stuck in the olden days. HoloCorp and TV2 superseded Galactic Radio fifty years ago.”
Cam: “In other words, you‘re the only one of us that was alive when Subspace Radio was cool.”
Doog: “I’m not necessarily worried about the amount of viewers. I mean, I’m a famous TV host, I can handle any audience. I just don’t want to say anything stupid.”
Mike: “I’m pretty sure you’re screwed in that regard.”
Cam: “Yeah…hate to break it to you, but you say stupid stuff all time.”
Oldie: “Not to add to your worries, but you need to remember that the radio show is live. You won’t have Timbo to edit what you say.”
Doog: “Thanks for your support, guys. I really appreciate it.”
Mike: “Obex?”
Doog: “Yeah, like a mix of weed and box cows.”
Cam: “If what I’ve heard about Galactic Radio is true, then most of the employees here are space hippies.”
Doog: “Hippies? Out here?”
Cam: “This is perfect hippie territory out here. Far from society, surrounded by music, working in a fading industry that no one really cares about anymore.”
Doog: “Yeah, I guess. Almost makes me want to look for a job opening.”
Oldie: “ For the last time, Galactic Radio is not a fading industry!”
Doog: “Nice to meet…”
Oldie: “Ooh! Oooh! Windsong! You’re my favorite!”
Windsong: “Thanks, man. You guys are my favorite too. You, like, travel all around the galaxy in a little ship. Very hippie-like.”
Doog: “Hey, there’s always room for one more. We might even leave Oldie here if he likes it so much.”
Cam: “Seems like a fair trade to me.”
Windsong: “That’s a groovy offer, friends, but I really love it here at Galactic Radio. I mean, like, I get to listen to sweet tunes almost all day. Come on, let’s get started with the tour. You’ll see what I mean.”
Doog: “Rhenium?”
Windsong: “Over a billion records sold.”
Doog: “Ah, nice. I never bought music before, so I’m not up on my terminology.”
Windsong: “Never?”
Doog: “Never. It’s too easy to get for free.”
Mike: “It’s not free when you steal it from me, Doog.”
Doog: “Whatever. So, what’s up with all the clocks?”
Windsong: “Oh, those? Well, like, Galactic Radio broadcasts to the entire galaxy, but we base our broadcast schedule on three of the LIU’s most populated worlds: Ludgonia, Fornacis, and Tressis.”
Doog: “Groovy indeed.”
Windsong: “Galactic Radio broadcasts five different signals. Signal 1 is the audio version of TV2’s Galaxy News. So, like, news and stuff. Signal 2 is the Emergency Broadcast signal. It’s only activated during emergencies. Oh yeah, signals 3 to 5 are music channels. I prefer four, it’s loaded with far out tunes.”
Oldie: “Four is my favorite too. Easy listening and it has the galaxy’s best DJ, Windsong.”
Windsong: “Aw, thanks, man. I’m stoked you enjoy my show.”
Doog: “So is there some type of employment office on this station? I’m sold.”
Doog: “Who are they?”
Oldie: “What! Everyone knows these guys, it’s DJ Snot Rocket and DJ Dreamfruit.”
Windsong: “Yep. Exactly, man.”
Doog: “Of course. I knew that. Stop making me look bad in front of Windsong, Oldie. I listen to Snotfruit and Dream Rocket all the time.”
Oldie: “You got their names backwards.”
Windsong: “Yeah. Not cool, man.”
Snot Rocket: “Alright brothers and sisters, it’s time to return from the Astral Plane. We have a special guest today. His name is Doog.”
Dreamfruit: “ Doog. Dooog. That name is far out, man. I, like, think we should journey back into the plane a few moments and think about that name. It, like, rolls off the tongue. Dooog.”
Snot Rocket: “Perhaps another time, my brother. For right now, let’s, like, go to a commercial. Then let’s talk to this Doog guy. Dooog. Ha. You’re right about that name.”
Doog: “No problem, DJ Dreamfruit. We’re glad to be here. In fact, I might actually end up staying here. It’s pretty sweet here.”
Snot Rocket: “Cool, man. But, I’m DJ Snot Rocket. DJ Dreamfruit is over there.”
Doog: “Oh really? I thought for sure the green guy that looks like a booger was going to be the one called ‘ Snot Rocket’.”
Dreamfruit: “Whoa, dude. That’s harsh. You shouldn’t judge people on their appearances.”
Snot Rocket: “Yeah, totally. You’d think the guy with a face for radio wouldn’t be, like, so quick to judge other people’s looks.”
Doog: “Hey! There’s nothing wrong with my face!”
Dreamfruit: “Calm down, Snot Rocket. Like, don’t get on this Doog guy’s plane. I sense some bad vibes emanating from his plane.”
Snot Rocket: “He, like, even brought his own microphone to the interview. Like, he totally doesn’t want to use our microphones. He’s too good for us or something.”
Windsong: “Whoa. I can sense that now. Sorry brothers. I wouldn’t have brought him if I…”
Doog: “I always have my mic! Don’t you watch my show?”
Dreamfruit: “Not cool to interrupt a lady, man. You’re judgmental and rude. Like, I recommend that no one watches this dude’s show.”
Doog: “What! Screw you! No one listens to your show anyway. I‘m out of here.”
Oldie: “Just for the record, I listen. Also, LIU Atlas airs on TV2. Please watch it despite Doog. Uh…and have a nice day. PS, I love you Windsong.”
Windsong: “Aww.”
Cam: “Better than I expected.”
Mike: “Better than anyone expected, really.”
Oldie: “I got to meet Windsong, so there’s that.”
Doog: “So, you’re not mad?”
Oldie: “About what? I knew this was going fail walking in. You’re Doog. And it was live radio.”
Doog: “At least I can live up to your ridiculously low standards. Well folks, A14-S25 is a space station that rests above the galactic plane. It houses Galactic Radio which broadcasts subspace radio signals to all the worlds of the galaxy. It also rests above the astral plane because it is full of space hippies. Oh well, see ya!”
Note: A14-S25, like M31-P5, is named for the compressed star in the center of its Fusion Star Chamber. The star is too small to get an actual name, so it’s named for is coordinates, or location, in the galaxy. See M31-P5 for more details.
