The play started with the characters waiting on a box from the Dream Queen to be delivered to the zoo, which, when it arrived, was the size of a small bear. Rocky then proceeded to tip it back and forth to gauge what was inside, to the alarm of Zeke. Securing the load but not opening it, they caste off and start across crater lake sailing past the large headless statue of a nameless TV presenter from the distant past, wearing a slim fitting business suit.
Hunting on the Moon River
As the boat passes into the delta of the river, three Arns flit across the water to attack the boat. Tabbatha quickly took herself out of the fight by overcharging rubbery skeleton, leaving Zeke and Rocky to battle the Arns. Doing more damage to themselves through overcharging Dual Mind (Rocky belongs to the BrotherHood of Thought, thus all Psi powers are overcharged), the two heroes finally dispatch the mutant dragonflies.
Zoo City
The party arrive at the quay for the zoo they are greeted by two Arks, mutant dogs who take an instant dislike to Tabbatha. They escorted the party and the box towards the office of the Zookeeper 'Atten Brough'. Scrawled over the walls, some partially washed off, is the slogan 'All animals are equal' and as the box passes the cages the inmates line up in silence.
The Zookeeper is appalled by the box and asks why it has been sent and declares it will cause trouble. The party questions why the Dream Queen would cause trouble to which the Zookeeper turns evasive. Sirens then start to blare out across the Zoo and he requests the aid of the party to help save the Zoo and the group agrees, demanding a steep price in fuel. The Zookeeper dispatches the group to defend the aviary, declaring that if the birds get out the Arks will run and the zoo will be lost to the Zoopremacists!
Badass Badders
Setting up to defend the entrance to the Aviary, the group are assaulted by a Badder slave driver and his soldiers. The first wave pushed the group back towards the entrance but they rallied and held their ground. Even the reinforcements were insufficient and the group held the entrance until the human guards arrived. Gaining an omega tech here, including a lifting harness akin to Aliens which they smuggle (!) out of the zoo with them.
Orlen at the Gate
After defending the Aviary, the party are dispatched to track down the leader of the revolt, a mutated wolverine called 'Lenin' but first they have to defeat the guard - Zig Zag a ferocious four armed Orlen. Zeke succeeded in blowing himself to pieces, minimally damaging the Orlen and putting himself out of the combat. Rocky went toe to toe with the Orlen, dishing out more pummeling than he received, with Tabbatha nipping in and out lacerating the poor creature who was soon subdued, recruited and now guards the boat.
Who serves the Serf?
Rocky then breaks through the gate and the party are attacked by the 'Wolverine' Lenin and his Ark minions. Zeke fluxed into the ubermind power sees through the disguise and identifies the large brained creature as a mind-controlling Serf, an imposter. Outflanking and outmanoeuvring him, they soon dispatch the Serf and free the Arks, gaining some Omega tech.
The Zookeeper is grateful for their actions but some of the inmates have escaped. The party are loading their spoils onto the boat when the lights in Barter Town and the Zoo suddenly cut off.
Cut Scenes
Two mutated rats are dragging a cart across the plain. They then stop, flip the cover off the cart revealing a strange bomb. Chittering away, one sets to work rummaging in the insides and inadvertently sets it off. White material is scattered across the area in the small blast and the two rats flee as what appears to be a town rises behind them.
A factory door grinds open and a squad of make-shift robots trundle out. A command barks out: seek the Double hulled boat and slay all within.
