Moonbound

With her husband, Boog, captured, Ming rises to the occasion. Ying-Tai’s intrepid crew prepare the starship for something it was never designed for: planet fall, and Ming must pilot them down. Unfortunately, this is no normal planet, and more surprises await.

Boog, Dex, and Gekko discuss strategy for landing on the planet when Morstyn rudely interrupts their plans. Ying-Tai charges onto the scene while Tima and Otis surprise Morstyn and his crew, but ultimately no one can save Boog.

As the crew of the starship plans for landfall on their new homeworld, Doc discovers a breakthrough to eradicate the moon-mite plague. But when Morstyn and his “bad apples” make their move, it may not matter. Meanwhile, when Ying-Tai is threatened by one of Morstyn’s Toadies, Donnel, she delivers a lesson in foreplay he won’t soon forget.

Boog’s latest brainstorm throws Ying-Tai for an unexpected loop, and while scanning the newly discovered planet for intelligent life, Dex and Gekko become bored by the tedium and find great entertainment in debriefing Boog on his honeymoon night with Ming.

Morstyn and his disgruntled selection of dissenters meet to scheme for the next step in their desire to take control of the starship. Meanwhile, Boog, with the questionable assistance of Otis, is gradually uncovering the secrets of their strange new planetary neighborhood.

Dex and Gekko assist Boog in the cryo‑chamber, preparing to yank Morstyn back from the frozen edge of oblivion. They debate how to shape the moment for the repulsive man, but with Boog’s and Morstyn’s lives linked, they’re forced, reluctantly, to exercise restraint. Later, when the entire crew gathers in the Dining Hall, the reunion crackles with tension. The news delivered is anything but good.

Six billion miles from Earth, racing to the edge of the solar system, Ying-Tai and the entire crew prepare for the long voyage to Altair, 17 light-years away, by submitting to the latest technological marvel—Cryogenic Hibernation. However, when they awake years later, Boog discovers a horrifying fact. They aren’t “when” they thought they should be.

Parked near Mars and freshly showered and dressed to the nines, Ying-Tai and Tima join the crew to celebrate their fortunate escape from Emperor Chin-Yau and his forces. Finally, everything seems to be headed in the desired direction. But when Morstyn enters the celebration, a new threat slowly emerges and Ying-Tai wishes she had killed the man when she had the chance.

Reduced to an avatar, Boog fights desperately inside the ship’s labyrinth of computer corridors and rooms, fighting to destroy the digital pathogens unleashed by his Nemesis, Ju-Long. For a moment, Boog seems to be gaining the upper hand, but without warning, a hostile invader enters the deadly digital warzone. At the same time, in the physical world, Ying-Tai and her crew gasp for breath as the ship vents its air into space and the temperature nosedives.

Ying-Tai and her cohorts blast away from the Ring Station, engines screaming to put some distance between them and Chin-Yau. But the Emperor still has one weapon to wield in his arsenal; he turns to the head of his technical systems: Ju-Long expert thrasher. At long last, Ju-Long has the opportunity to crush his foe, Carl Bogeran (Boog). As he hacks into the fleeing ship’s systems, shutting down critical functions, Ying-Tai's chance of escape vanishes in a single devastating instant.
