A peace-loving intergalactic space ship crew are off on a mission to find a new world upon which to live. As they journey through time and space, they explore numerous planets, but due to incompetent planning, bungling, or just sheer bad luck they end up disappointed in their quest. In some cases they inadvertently cause some serious inter-planetary incidents. The hapless crew are coming towards the end of their mission when they visit a strange, blue/green planet in Galaxy Six.
This planet succumbs to the grip of a deadly pandemic, but only the crew know the true story* about the origin of the disease. Can they battle unfriendly life-forms, dodge hazards in space, beat their sister ship, overlook hackneyed alien clichés and be the crew that finds a new planet to call home? 61, 400 words approx.   *It might be the truth. Who knows for sure?
