A sci-fi audio dramedy. What could be more relaxing than a space cruise hosted by Apis Industries? Nothing, of course! Join loyal cruise director AI "Worker B" and the less enthusiastic Captain Arthur Winnipeg as they investigate mysterious malfunctions, pacify the increasingly unhappy guests, and tick slowly towards their voyage's sudden, violent end. Who knows? Maybe they'll even survive!
