A comedy based in the 22nd century. Axiom2, the future evolutionary version of the International Space Station is in peril, as are the crew, due to innocuous components failure. Unfortunately, these parts are redundant in the 22nd century. This problems kickstarts a race to find someone, somewhere who has the necessary parts, as manufacturing or bypassing is not an option in the allotted time. A farce begins as a professor from mission control, agents from a rival company (seeking to gain control of space exploration) and the secretary to the Prime Minister start their race against time. Insider knowledge, underhand tactics, travelling across the Atlantic on the Hyper Highway Express Service, all to track down the essentials. Lunacy is the word, and lunacy it truly is.
