The crew explores the planet Glllksyt and discover Gary.

Plot Summary

After receiving orders to investigate the planet Glllksyt, Captain Smith, Lieutenant Jasper, and Ensign Red Shirt beam down to the planet and after Marty scans the rocky landscape in front of him, he finds no life forms. Breathing easy Red is almost immediately eaten by Gary, the giant space squid. Gary then complains to Captain Smith about his poor agent and the woes of being perpetually typecast as a giant space monster. After receiving parts of his ensign back the Captain calls the Muffin and has them beam up what is left.
