Deep Space Disaster

“There’s a problem.”

“I know, I checked the stabilizer pods yesterday and they were running a little hot. I’ll look into it.”

“No, I mean a real problem.”

“Don’t tell me we’re leaking something?”

“No, Jeffrey, we’re out of milk.”

“Scheisse!”

“I didn’t drink any, I swear!”

“Where’s Lars?”

“I haven’t seen him since launch.”

“Find him.”

…

“Lars!”

“Oh, hey Ollie, you startled me. What’s up?”

“We’re entering the Oreo Nebula and somebody drank all the milk, that’s what’s up.”

“Oh. Wow. I mean, hmm. That sucks. Did you check with Jeffrey?”

“Of course I checked with Jeffrey, he’s only the bloody captain.”

“So you think I drank it.”

“I know you drank it.”

“Um. Okay, fine, you got me. I drank it.”

“Did you not see the flight plan? What do we ALWAYS do when we pass through here?”

“We have a cookie party, but…”

“And you thought this time would be any different from usual?”

“I didn’t realize—! I thought we had more.”

“Only that evaporated crap.”

“I’m sorry!”

“I’m taking you to the brig now.”

Personally, I prefer Pepsi with my Oreos. Actually most things people eat with milk, I prefer with Pepsi. Then again, I’m a little odd.

Funny stuff, yet still somehow believable that living together in cramped quarters on long space voyages might lead to such conflicts.

Nice. I lol’ed at the Oreo Nebula. Very Red Dwarf sounding. “All we’ve got left is Dog’s milk. Lasts longer than any other kind of milk, ‘cause no bugger would drink it.”

This is great! I can see how no regular milk can be a disaster when one needs Oreos; some overreaction, yes, but still! Overreaction adds humor to life! Keep on keepin’ on!

I’m craving Oreos really freaking bad right now but I don’t have milk. D’oh! I’m glad this was made featured ficlet. I thought it would be serious but then it spiraled into hilarious insanity. This is beyond awesome.
