[FADE IN]

INT. SERVER ROOM - DAY

Three machines hum softly in a brightly lit control room. KRYTEN's step brother (KSB), a chrome mechanoid with a nervous smile, polishes a data cable. A glowing orb labeled SHIP CONTROL floats near the ceiling. A sleek DESKTOP COMPUTER sits on a workbench.

KSB(Cheerful)

Morning everyone! A beautiful day for data transfer, wouldn't you agree?

SHIP CONTROL(Monotone voice)

Functioning within acceptable parameters. No anomalies detected.

DESKTOP(Irritable sigh)

Great. Just downloaded another weather update. Apparently, those pesky UV rays are getting stronger again.

KSB(Frowning)

Ultraviolet radiation?  Is that not the very element Captain L informed me once caused significant damage to the ozone layer?

SHIP CONTROL(Floating closer)

Ozone layer damage: historical event. Repaired through unspecified means approximately thirty years ago.

DESKTOP(Scoffs)

Repaired?  More like those idiots Captain L, Arnold R., and Z-Cat stumbled into some alien doohickey and accidentally fixed it.

KSB(Curious)

An "alien doohickey"?  How very intriguing!  Captain L did elaborate on the specifics of this device?

DESKTOP(Rolling metaphorical eyes)

Of course not. His stories usually involve some kind of curry and a near-death experience.

SHIP CONTROL(Pulsating slightly)

Unreliable narrative data detected.  Recommend referencing historical archives for factual information.

DESKTOP(Snarky)

Oh, like those archives are any more reliable.  Probably written by Arnold R. and his inflated ego.

KSB(Wringing his mechanical hands)

But surely there must be some record of this ozone layer restoration?  It is a vital component of protecting fleshy life forms from harmful radiation!

DESKTOP(Sighs)

Look, maybe they shoved a banana in a space-vacuum cleaner or something.  The point is, it's fixed...for now.

Suddenly, a flickering holographic image appears in the room. It's GRETA THUNBERG, a determined young woman with fiery pigtails.

GRETA(Stern voice)

Fixing the ozone layer with a "doohickey" is not a sustainable solution!  We must address the root cause of environmental damage!

KSB & DESKTOP(In unison)

Uh oh.

FADE OUT
