This week on The Nerd Nebula, the fearless (and questionably competent) trio of Jay Silver, Brother Barkington, and Kowasu are given a simple task by the ever-mysterious Shady Vendor: capture a Carcharodon carcharias (Great White Shark) pup. Easy, right? There’s just one tiny issue—spaceships aren’t exactly known for their seaworthiness.

Enter Vicious Mechanical Modifications, a shop that sounds both highly reputable and definitely not sketchy. There, they meet a man named Jimothy, who looks like he was born in a toolbox. He assures them that with enough duct tape, questionable engineering, and an anti-gravity hydrofoil (whatever that is), their spaceship will be ocean-ready in no time.

Because, obviously, strapping boat parts to a spaceship makes total sense.

Now, with their barely-floating death trap prepped, Jay, Brother Barkington, and Kowasu set off to hunt down a shark puppy.

What could possibly go wrong? 

(Spoiler: A lot.)
