Captain Isotope & the Enemy of Space

- Season 3

(2023)

Col. Tatiana Molgov, late of the doomed 21st century Space ship The Komorov, has found work as an ensign in Gal-Fed. She now serves on the USS Lepton, another Atom Class Cruiser. But her luck is running consistent as she and her Captain run afoul of an old enemy of the USS Isotope, the body-less Mysterious Ones. It isn't long before the Mysterious Ones are space-born again, and seeking revenge on the crew of the USS Isotope.

The Mysterious Ones, inhabiting the bodies of Captain Lepton and Ensign Molgov, stage their attack, taking down Captain Isotope and causing harm to Science Office Winston. Meanwhile Lt. Daphne finds her confrontation with the possessed Captain Lepton to be more melancholic, while Mona's showdown with Ensign Molgov turns into a cat-fight.

An incarcerated Bing The Merciless is being transferred to a maximum security facility and finds himself sitting in the cargo hold of the transport ship next to Serena Kreyus, the evil twin sister of Madam Kreyus. It seems Bing MAY have met his match in someone just as bad-ass as he is, but that doesn't equate to them getting along well. Things get strange however when Bing receives a call en-route to the new prison.

Executive Officer Carter Winston and Mission Specialist Mona Schroedinger are travelling in a Gal-Fed shuttle when a strange mishap cripples the ship and drains their oxygen supply. Shortly after the two seem to wake up in a mysterious void, and all evidence points to the idea that they have died.

Having been spirited away from the transport ship, Bing finds himself being forcibly courted by the Borolonian Underground Resistance to help them in their war to liberate their home world. As he contemplates this offer Captain John Shackelford finds himself contemplating the loss of his transport ship, and his somewhat surprising attraction to the prisoner that WASN'T taken away by the Underground... Serena Kreyus.

Alone on the USS Isotope with ex-wife Mona Schroedinger, Oliver answers a call from a nearby ship. The passenger, Attorney Karen Vreeland, has been searching for Oliver to serve him papers relating to a number of crimes he is accused of...all relating to bigamy.

The crew of the USS Isotope run afoul of space pirates hell-bent on raiding their ship, leading to a tense outer-space showdown with Miss Mittens, the leader of the Vegetable Empire, and her scurrilous Major Domo, Mr. Lobo. It's thrills, chills and senses-shattering space adventure for our Space Heroes.

Dispatched to the Gal-Fed space Station Falcon Five to investigate the missing crew, Lt. Daphne Isotope is assigned to investigate the station while Oliver and Carter, along with visiting Madam Kreyus, head off to see if they evacuated to a nearby planet. As Daphne makes her way to the bridge of the dark and eerie station the USS Isotope runs afoul of a small red sphere in space. Fearing it's a space mine they ask Madam Kreyus if she recognizes it, as they are near Aligned Worlds Organization space. And she does.

Retrieving Lt. Daphne from the space station Oliver and Carter wrestle with Madam Kreyus's sudden turn against them and Gal-Fed. When Daphne drops a major shock on them about the crew's fate Oliver is determined to find out what the sphere has to do with the space station, which forces Madam Kreyus to consult with King Boris about how to proceed.

Appalled at Madam Kreyus's senseless act of violence, Oliver struggles to understand her motivation. The Madam is beginning to understand the magnitude of her crime and her guilt is catching up with her as she sits in the Isotope's Brig. Carter and Daphne also struggle with this but are caught off guard by Carter's latest discovery... that he may be being haunted. Meanwhile Mona has borrowed a Gal-Fed shuttle and is off to find a replacement spaceship of her own when she too gets sidelined. Her shuttle is forced to land on a planet by what appears to be not very ...

Drac is informed by his nephew Iggy that his considerable fortune is at an end, and he has to make some serious cutbacks, like dining on the blood of the living, rather than having his blood imported. As he is out in deep space with his beloved Countess Carita, she helps him to formulate a plan to lure passing spaceship and drain the occupants of their own blood. And guess WHICH spaceship happens by. Features horror movie hosts Count Drac and Countess Carita.

Through a bizarre twist of fate both Madam Kreyus and Serena, her evil twin sister, are imprisoned in the same facility awaiting their fates. Attorney Karen Vreeland arrives to lay it out for Serena what her crimes will lead her to. At the same time Trixie Dixie Mitzi uses her not inconsiderable diplomatic skills to come out to help Madam Kreyus... a thought that does NOT inspire the Madam in the least.

A worried Carter Winston informs Oliver that Mona has not checked in and is not answering calls. Meanwhile Mona, now captive to an underground paramilitary branch of the Boralonian military engulfed in a low-level civil war, is forced to share a cell with a hardened criminal.... Bing The Merciless.

Carter is concerned that Mona has not reported back to the USS Isotope and raises the concern to Oliver who is not too concerned, seeing as he has troubles of his own with the newly arrived Serena Kreyus. Meanwhile Mona and Bing work to figure out how to fly the stolen Borolonian spaceship and defend themselves. And Bing has to make a decision whether or not to bring Mona along for the ride or go it alone... by killing her.

Carter is a bit put out by an item on the latest cargo manifest... a new Robotic companion named E.R.B.I.E.. In fact tempers are running short for pretty much everyone, making their adjustment to the new crew member awkward. Can E.R.B.I.E. find common ground with the crew? For that matter can he get their names correct?
