Season 2

Episode 1

Scene 1

On Planet Deepscorch of The Cigar Galaxy, The Blazing Muffin Crew is with some of the local sentient cats, Plush and Scratch.  Pixel remained behind on The Blazing Muffin.  Purr-Meez The Philosopher Cat has just materialized before them and warned them back to their ship. 

Blackjack:  Why should we go back to my ship?

Purr-Meez:  It is about to be attacked!

Plush and Scratch are mesmerized by the appearance of Purr-Meez.

Pokher:  We would have been alerted by Pixel if that were the case. 

Suddenly, a communication crackles in from Pixel.

Pixel:  Hey, you guys should get back here! Mosquito Armada ships are decloaking and trying to board The Blazing Muffin!

Purr-Meez (shrugs):  Told ya.

Pixel:  I’m trying to hold them off with the dedensifier and the psychedelic mind-mess machine, but time is limited.  You should beam back up now before the ship is damaged. 

Tom:  I didn’t know mosquitoes were susceptible to psychedelics!

Purr-Meez:  With your permission, I’ll go with you and help.

Blackjack:  Sure thing, Purr-Meez.  Ok Pixel, beam us back up.

Everyone is beamed away and the primitive cats pass out from shock.  The crew and Purr-Meez materialize on The Blazing Muffin.  Purr-Meez breaks apart into two floating particle clouds.  Pixel notices a resemblance.

Pixel (surprised):  Are you Verse?

Purr-Meez:  Yes. Why the surprise?

Blackjack:  Could you two chat after we fend off the attack?

Pixel:  In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t missed a beat in weapons control. 

Purr-Meez:  We are master multi-taskers.

Computer:  We’re getting a call from one of the mosquito ships. 

Blackjack:  Onscreen. 

A mosquito in a gaudy military uniform appears on The Blazing Muffin’s main view screen. 

Mosquito:  I am Bitus Minimus of Lord Emperor President Chancellor Dominus Khan’s Grand

Universal Empire of the Splat Culture.  You are interfering in our operations here! Leave now, or face the wrath of the Splat Culture! This is your final warning.

Blue:  Does he not notice that we’re kicking their @$$?

Bitus Minimus:  I can hear you!

Blue:  Just stating the obvious. 

Pokher:  What operations are you speaking of?

Bitus Minimus:  For the glory of empire!

Tom:  Why do authoritarians always use such grandiose generalizations?

Blackjack:  Pixel, why haven’t our weapons had an effect on Mister Minimus here?

Pixel:  He’s fighting valiantly from behind. 

Blackjack:  Typical. 

Bitus Minimus gets a message from one of his subordinates.

Bitus Minimus:  Well, a pressing matter has come up and we must retreat for the moment.  But you haven’t heard the last of us!

Communication terminates and some of the mosquito armada begins to flee. 

Blue:  Why aren’t they all leaving?

Pixel:  I believe they have not all recovered from the psychedelic mind-mess machine. 

Blackjack (turns to Purr-Meez):  Well, Purr-Meez.  We have lots of questions for you. 

Purr-Meez:  My name isn’t actually Purr-Meez.  That’s just the name I used to talk to the Deepscorcher cats. 

Pixel:  What’s your real name?

Purr-Meez:  I don’t like my real name, so just call me Purr-Meez. 

Everyone groans. 

Pixel:  You are only the second Verse I’ve met.

Purr-Meez:  Really? Where are you from?

Pixel:  A different galaxy called The Milky Way. 

Blackjack:  Purr-Meez, how long have you been on Deepscorch?

Purr-Meez:  Over 100 years. 

Blue:  Really? Why so long?

Purr-Meez:  Because social change takes time.  I have taught the Cats of Deepscorch the Natural Law of Freedom.  I have done the same with the Cacti Desert Dwellers. 

Tom: You appeared as a Philosopher cat to them also?

Purr-Meez:  Of course not.  Don’t be ridiculous.

Pokher:  Yeah, Tom, don’t be ridiculous. 

Purr-Meez:  I appeared to the Cacti as a sacred water fountain.  Both cultures have learned the Natural Law of Freedom.  It has had a very positive effect on their relations.  Recently, however, the Splat Culture has been tempting the Cacti desert dwellers with power and
