The Splattered Remains of Undentifiable Organs Incident All Over Again

Jenkins learns the crew have taken the lift to the Moon, where carnivorous plants await them. Stars John Sessions. From 2018.

It's still 1952. It's always 1952.

The Quanderhorn crew find themselves on Advanced Lunar Station Q, with no means of returning to Earth and limited oxygen supplies.

Splitting into two teams after a game of Martian Closey-Eyesie, Guuuurk and Troy fall prey to a ravenous Lunar Man Trap, while Brian and Gemma stumble upon an intact space craft.

But there are two problems. Gemma's ear is unwinding, rendering her emotionally unstable, and there's no apparent entrance to the craft.

Having rather astonishingly escaped their various dilemmas, the crew encounter yet another conundrum - how exactly is the ship powered?

Jenkins, the professor's factotum, detects a spacecraft approaching Earth which Quanderhorn orders him to blast out of the sky, apparently unaware his own crew is aboard.
