Welcome aboard the Oz 9!
On a random Tuesday in 2142, 400 Oz ships, each carrying a cargo of 50,000 sleeping rich people, were launched from Earth by a corporation called Gated Galaxies. On a mission to seek out, terraform, and probably rudely exploit any planet they stumble upon, the Oz ships were a great way to get rid of not only some very rich idiots, but also their crews of petty thieves and thugs. This is the story of one such ship, the Oz 9, where the pods have already started going dark.
Your crew on the Oz 9:
Captain Madeline: well-intentioned but not really up to the task, where “Mad-Pants Madeline” is concerned, “captain” could only inspire less respect if followed by “crunch.”
Joe, our janitor, who is rarely seen without a mop. Who is, in fact, rarely seen at all, until he opens his mouth. What is up with that??
Leet, IT expert who couldn’t tell you what IT stands for on his best day, but he has really nice pecs and no shirts. So there’s that.
Colin isn’t really Colin at all, but he won’t tell you his real name until you promise not to kill him.
Olivia, our oddly Dickensian-urchin AI who’s basically running the ship but whose intentions are not always honorable. Certainly not where Leet is concerned.
Jessie, captain of a neighboring ship that sometimes gets a little too neighborly…
