Previous Incident: Polymorph

Next Incident: Asteroids

The Blue Dwarf nears the Proxima Orbital Poultry Factory to pick up several new crewmen who had been assigned to the mission. The new crewmen include Steev MAckEnzyyyyyyy, Marlene Cauty, Larry Rongside, Phil FeBuggre, and a few others.

The first point of order was to get Phil's hologramatic form online, a job which fell to Jason Smegg and Steev. Although, Steev scared Jason away and then went on a drunken escapade with Penny Lloyd. He did, however, leave a cryptic message for Jason for when he returned. Jason, unable to discern what the message meant, had a guess at going down to Garbage Bay Ten and finding a red bag. In it, he found a Happy Bomb.

Meanwhile, Larry and Marlene attempt to install a coffee machine in the Science Labs, and send out a priority 1 call for an engineer for help. When none came, they decided to head down to the Garbage Bays to find Jason. When they confront him, he is still clutching the Happy Bomb, terrified it will go off. In the heat of an argument he had with Marlene, he drops the Happy Bomb and it promptly detonates.

During this, Seymour Niples was exploring the Factory in search of good fast food, the MacDonalds on Blue Dwarf still under reconstruction. In a KFC, he learns of the mysterious disappearances that occur on the lower levels. Niples returns to the Blue Dwarf and tells Frank Harris of what he has learned. Harris informs Niples that one of his security officers, Harry Dunaway, had gone missing on these lower levels. They both decide to explore the Factory to find him.

Harris is taken by surprise by a massive chicken monster, and Seymour learns that the chicken monster was the creation of the Factory's scientists. It was known by the terrible name: Margery. Niples retreats to the Dwarf to gather reinforcements.

When Harris awoke, he found himself hanging upside down in a disused lab with Harry. Margery the chicken came in and dragged Harry away, and his body was never found. Not wanting to suffer the same fate, Harris frees himself and grabs an nearby fire axe and attacks Margery. He doesn't manage to kill it, but he does manage to retreat back to the Blue Dwarf.

Niples organises an away team to deal with the creature, and they chase it through the Factory until it comes out on the upper levels. It enters the Blue Dwarf, where the mad and angry chicken monster attacks the Promenade. Before the away team can take it down, it crashes through the walls of the newly rebuilt MacDonalds. It falls straight into the McMash-o-matic Chicken McNugget McMaker, turning it into a small box of McNuggets.
