Julian Rodriguez is on a mission for the Mothership. He's been sent to Earth to study human lifeforms and their bizarre habits--from their disgusting diet (orange sticks named carrots, flavorless liquid called water, and the revolting substance known as vegi-dogs) to their repressive treatment of their young (forcing them to carry out menial tasks known as chores, withholding access to the great cultural masterpieces called cartoons). When Julian's Maternal Unit assigns a hideous task, it's nearly too much for the hardened space veteran to bear--but he finds his courage at last. Julian Rodriguez esta llevando a cabo una mision importante. El Comando Base lo ha enviado a la Tierra para estudiar los extranos habitos de los mini-cerebrados, desde su espantosa dieta (unos listones como de madera llamados zanahorias, un liquido transparente e insipido llamado agua y algo repugnante llamado salchicha vegetariana), a su tratamiento represivo de los jovenes (a quienes obligan a llevar a cabo actividades denigrantes llamadas tareas, privandoles de esa forma maravillosa de arte llamada caricaturas). Cuando la Unidad Materna de Julian le asigna una mision espantosa, el Primer Oficial Rodriguez se tiene que armar de valor para llevarla a cabo.
