Fellow traveler! Let me tell you how I came to run this ship-- Promise no shit--maybe Humble beginnings, farmer's only son out in space With big honest thoughts of laying claim to a place I caught the dream, didn't spoil the cream Worked hard to get to the top and that's it-- Just kidding I'm rich, my daddy bought me this heap of shit Judge for a system with a thousand observable blips Caught with melange, so he kept me outta bars And forced me on this bucket 'cross these motherfuckin' stars Pleased to meet you I'm Captain Koernig Smoke 'em if you got 'em I'll try whatever you're having In the Old-Earth-German, Koernig meant "king" Guess y'all didn't know how high I'd wing it Crew hates me 'cuz I'm smoking so much space weed The fuck knew you could hotbox a Nebulon 6? I did, and I do it every star date I did, and I do it every star date I did, and I do it every star date I did, and I do it every star date Who the fuck are you? I'm Captain Koernig Get off my ship I'm high as fuck, oh my God, who are you? Hey Darla, wanna make a bit of money? You see, there's a job transportin' some honey Through a slip of a trip into Reoba's Kip There's just a bit of a problem that I can't really skip Darla, ever heard of fuckin' Space Bears? They kill your family and then shit on your face Reoba's Kip is drippin' scary with the gnarly fuckers Could get mauled, but sounds like fun! *cough* <whispers> Captain Koernig Captain Koernig Captain Koernig Captain Koernig...

Marching through space with hungry eyes We snuff out life with horrible cries The never-ending hunger, now it's near Don't worry--you have EVERYTHING to fear Space is no place for weak humans We have been marching for eons Since before your Sun was even a dream And it seems we will march for thousands more Marching through space with hungry eyes We snuff out life with horrible cries The never-ending hunger, now it's near Don't worry--you have EVERYTHING to fear

Fellow traveler! You may wonder why we're in the brig In fact, I wonder why YOU'RE in the brig But enough about you--let's talk about-- Me. Yes me. Pretty little me Mindin' my own fuckin' business, choppin' down the cherry tree Workin' a gig that wasn't really too hot 'Cuz the Space Bears got us and they hate us a lot Darla Maybe, crazy lady, kinda shady But my freakin' genius chief engineer saved me She can hot-wire a Santa Eva Ghost Twerk Of course she can short a goddamn Space Bear network... Dunno what's in this cig But I'm still Captain Koernig So let's hotbox the brig 'Cuz I'm still Captain Koernig Did you know a Nebulon 6 can really truly get off When you got a pack of Space Bears with a penchant for ripping off Limbs? Yep. Though I almost lost my cig The things I care about are prolly why I'm in the brig The enlightened like me can still pull philosophy Doesn't matter who I was, who I am, or who I'll be Now I've got a tale that no one can take away And I'm ready to tell, if you're willing to pay Hash only...hehe Dunno what's in this cig But I'm still Captain Koernig So let's hotbox this brig 'Cuz I'm still Captain Koernig I'm high as fuck right now Oh my God... I gotta sit down... Oh wait... I got more... Awesome... Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about... Dunno what's in this cig But I'm still Captain Koernig So let's hotbox this brig 'Cuz I'm still Captain Koernig I'm still Captain Koernig But maybe I should change Learn some humility But first, let's hotbox the brig

about

Who the fuck knew you could hotbox a Nebulon 6?

Join rich boy-turned-smuggler Captain Koernig on a weed smoke choked adventure through the stars. When his powerful father cuts him off from the family fortune, the Captain is forced to take a shady job to pay the mounting bar tabs.

Should be simple...

Except for the Galactic Police patrols. And his chief engineer, Darla Maybe, who openly despises him. And the Space Bears.

Well, shit.
