The U.S.S. Taxpayer receives an emergency bulletin (in the form of a poorly formatted meme) that interstellar retirement benefits have been temporarily converted into XCoin, a volatile digital currency only usable on XShop. Commander Ronny is baffled. Mildred is furious. Tanya smells a labor violation.

Meanwhile, Starfleet blocks all internal access to X without Security Clearance Form X-902-P, a 400-page document requiring 17 cross-departmental approvals.

====== Crew morale plummets. Ensign Byte-17 reports workers for “empathy leaks.” Weekly “Justification Logs” begin — where crew must submit five meaningful tasks or risk reassignment to the Intergalactic Call Center. ======

Millie teams up with a rogue communications officer to broadcast a pirate press release using a retired fax satellite. It gains traction on the galactic black market.

====== Tanya uncovers Operation AutoSentient, a plan to replace all government workers with AI-hosted avatars. The trio must travel to the X Core, a sentient algorithm buried deep in Saturn’s rings, and upload a vintage PDF — the last uncorrupted “Dear Colleague” letter in the galaxy. ======

A climactic standoff ensues in the Communication Nexus, where Ronny challenges Admiral Blink to a Hashtag Duel — a ritual social media battle where only one narrative can survive.
