Lady Bliss

The seven astronauts who are about to embark on a Long Duration Mission (LDM) have decided that they would like to have female companionship. "e;Lady Bliss"e;, designed by the mad scientist Dr. Eveready, is cautiously welcomed by the astronauts. Fast forwarding back. The LDM has been successful, with help from "e;Lady Bliss"e;, but she has to remain a secret because of the sociopolitical climate. NAPA ("e;National Association for Protection of Astronauts"e;, -- think Orwellian) decides that "e;Lady Bliss"e; should be disassembled. The astronauts decide to release her into space. A Solar Gulf Stream washes "e;Lady Bliss,"e; onto the shores of the Planet Azii, where she is thought to be the re-incarnation of Mali, the It Being.
