"Inspector Grandpa, what do we do?" cries out a teenage boy in a red shirt.
"We have to run, Marti!" cries a graying old man with wild mad scientist hair and a multi-colored scarf. "Once the Blorgeks get into this complex, they'll turn every single sentient being inside out with their transmegulator rays! They'll transmegulate us, Marti! They'll inside-out us! Our dongles will change from outies to innies!"
"In-inside out us?" the boy stutters, eyes wide with fear that is suddenly very sincere and real. "Seriously?!"
The boy's composure dissolves and he tugs at his hair and starts screaming, "I can't do this! I can't do this anymore! I want out, I want to go ho --"
Inspector Grandpa slaps him across the face and shakes him.
"Listen to me! If you panic, you're dead!" His voice suddenly drops, so low the mics can't pick it up. "Six seasons and a movie. If you survive six seasons and a TV movie, you get to retire, kid, and they swap in a totally new character as the Inspector's Compatriot, just like hey have the Inspector regenerate and change actors. I'm halfway through season six, it's not impossible, you just have to keep it together!"
The boy nods frantically, tours pouring down his face.
"We have to ruuuun!" Inspector Grandpa cries, grabbing him by the hand and tugging him along.
Tinny voices fill the hallways around them as they run.
"TRANSMEGULATE! TRANSMEGULATE! TRANSMEGULATE!"
As they run, other people run with them, trying to escape the complex. A little alien girl falls down in the hallway, crying and clinging her doll and "Marti" lets go of the Inspector's hand and turns back, running towards her to help. A Blorgek turns around a corner just as "Marti" picks the little girl up.
"No!" cries the Inspector, also turning around, running back towards the boy. "Rookie Marti mistake! She's not re --"
"TRANSMEGULATE!" KZZACK!
There's a horrible scream that cuts out to silence. Blood and viscera splatters all over the Inspector's face.
"GODDAMMIT!" he cries, turning to run again. He keeps running. Tears in his eyes, he exposits through gritted teeth, "It's a good thing I have my - my trusty Re-Martifier back on my ship! I can pull him from the timestream and replace the body of the one that got transmegulated with a synthesized one! In the meantime, I need to set the self destruct on this station! Most of the people have evacuated already and those that haven't, it's too late to save!"
He takes out his trusty sonic omnitool and sets the self destruct at a nearby panel, because that's just...what you do. It's what he's done for nearly six seasons. He reaches his ship when the count is almost down to zero, and flies it away from the station as fast as he can. The station explodes in a brilliant colorful display behind him.
"Annnd cut! Let's go to commercial!" calls out the Director. The space scene and spaceship fades and the old man falls on his butt as the seat disappears under him.
"That was Fantastic, Justin," says the Director. "The emotion! But let's cut down on the meta a little, please? You're so close to the end of the season, it'd be a shame if we needed to recast, don't you think?"
The old man stays silent, face impassive, standing up and walking over to craft service and picks up a bottle of vodka from where it rests on ice.
"God!" he cries out, leaning against a wall, and sliding down it. The old man starts sobbing uncontrollably. "God, whyyyy!"
Another teenage boy in a red shirt is led towards the holostage, one that looks just enough like the last teenage boy for the differences in appearance to be explained by "chronal instability."
"Nonono! Not here! Not here!" the boy cries out. He's also sobbing. "Please, any other show, put me on any other show, I'll even take Teen Gladiators -"
Still sobbing, the old man opens the vodka and starts drinking straight from the bottle. Just drinking and drinking and drinking...
And that's just one channel. After Metron's throne transports the Legionnaires to this world, after they're captured, they're separated and given their fifteen minutes of fame on so many others...
