Interstellar Travel Variety Show

The biggest entertainment company in the galaxy, Starshine, is preparing to produce a variety show. But audiences are already tired of family, singing, mystery, and dating shows.

To guarantee good ratings, this show needs something new.

Atal, the person in charge of the production, is at his wit's end.

Over thousands of years, the old hands have used up every variety-show formula there is! Coming up with something new is no easy task.

At a party, he overhears a friend complaining.

“You have no idea how annoying my job is these days. I have to deal with tons of junk messages every day!”

“Dude, don't you work for the Galactic Space Bureau? How are you getting spam texts?”

“You have no idea. There's a planet called Blue Star in some incredibly remote galaxy, and they send junk messages to the Space Bureau every day!”

“Here, look. I recorded some of the messages.”

Atal looks at the screen his friend shares. It's covered in messages:

Hello, this is Blue Star. Are you there? Are you there?

Hello~ Are you there~

Hello hello~ Kon'nichiwa~ Kamsahamnida~

Oh no, the aliens responded! They're coming to attack Blue Star! Prepare for battle!

Huh? Why aren't the aliens coming? Are they scared of us? Hello~ Is this the alien planet? Hello, are you there~

We clearly detected a signal. What do you mean, ignoring me? Answer me! Look my eyes!

Are you there!!!!

It's confirmed: the aliens have an avoidant personality.

After reading it all, Atal says, “...”

What weird Blue Star people. What annoying Blue Star people!

But now he has an idea for his new show!

He'll make a travel variety show about visiting a remote, rural planet from the galaxy. Then he can put the messages his friend just showed him at the start of the promotional video.

It has the gimmick, novelty, and contrast they need. The ratings are sure to explode!

Atal gets right to work, and his proposal is approved in no time.

Recently, social media has once again been buzzing with claims that aliens are invading Blue Star.

Apparently, quite a few people have taken photos of flying saucers in the sky at night.

Anya scoffs at the idea. She doesn't believe aliens exist at all.

Until one day, on her way to buy groceries, a silvery-white saucer in the sky sucks her up into the air.

Only then does she realize in shock that aliens really do exist!

Once inside the saucer, she discovers that she isn't the only one the aliens have abducted. There are four others.

And the reason they were abducted? To take part in an interstellar travel variety show.

Good grief, she's just an ordinary person. What does she know about being on a variety show?

A variety show? Even a dog wouldn't do it.

Atal: “After you finish the show, you'll get a fortune in appearance fees. If the show gets popular and you become a hit, you might even sign with the biggest entertainment company in the galaxy!”

Forget signing contracts! A fortune in appearance fees!

Anya: If a dog won't do it, then she'll do it. She loves taking part in variety shows organized by aliens!

Theme: United in purpose, creating a brighter future.
