The Quantum-7 came out of its Warp Drive as the dusty Red Planet came fully into view. The Red-Orange surface letting a glow bounce off the colony ship as it entered orbit. While the Quantum-7 arranged itself in orbit, Captain E. Gadd was talking with the other five colony ships about the destruction of the Quantum-8 only two minutes prior, and he wasn't happy.
E. Gadd: (angrily) What do you mean it was my fault!? I saved the whole ship and the passengers on board!
Quantum-1 Captain: You are the one who initiated the Warp Drive when you knew there was another ship behind you!
E. Gadd: Well I'm sorry. I just had an entire Quantum and a thousand people I needed to save.
Quantum-1 Captain: There were 3,500 and a full crew on that ship!
E. Gadd: What do you want me to do about it now!? I'm already in orbit of Mars.
???: (interrupting Quantum-1 Captain) We need to focus on who is here, sir. If we fight, it'll get us nowhere.
Quantum-1 Captain: (waits a few moments) Ugh... okay.. (to to E. Gadd) But if this horse shit play happens again, you're done! THIS IS NOT SOME GAME!!
The Quantum-1 Captain hangs up the call before E. Gadd could scream back at him.
E. Gadd: God Dammit! Why did the docking station have to be set up where Quantums arrive in a row!?
Executive 1: (carefully) S-Sir, if I may, you are the one who designed it...
E. Gadd: What's your name?
Executive 1: I'm sorry, sir? What do you mean?
E. Gadd: I'm saying, who are you under that helmet?
Chris: My name is Chris.
E. Gadd: What!? B-But that's impossible! (Looks over to Executive 2) Then... that must make you-
Swag: Yo, yo, yo wat up fam? It your boi, SwagMaster6969696969.
E. Gadd: (facepalms) How did I deserve this? ...Never mind... I'll worry about you guys later.
E. Gadd leaves the command deck annoyed.
Back in the launch seats of the Quantum-7, people were either vomiting from the extreme speeds or looking through the Astro Dome at the ominous Red Planet.
Tari: Oooooo! It's so pretty! Look at the shades of red and orange!
Saiko: Sure, cool.
Meggy: (vomiting from previous warp drive)
Luigi: (looking up) Ohh! You're right, Tari! That's such a cool thing to see up close, isn't it?
Axol: I've gotta write this down on otherworldly places I have been in orbit of.
Mario: Boooorrring.
Meggy: Come on, Mario. Isn't this cool to see a planet you could only see as a dot in the sky just a few days ago?
Mario: I wanna see something interesting, like a magma planet, an ice planet, or something with creatures other than what I find on Earth. (pointing at Peach) Do you know how many planets I've visited before to save that bitch?
Peach: (head turns 180 degrees with a death stare)
Mario: What are you looking at?
Peach: (pulls out knife) I'll tell you what I'm looking at. I'm looking at my dinner tonight if you don't shut the fuck up and take that back!
Mario: (sticks tongue out at Peach)
Peach: (threatens a slash at Mario)
Mario: Eep!
