SCENE 1- INT. WARM SEASON APPROPRIATE MUSIC PLAYS. 

1  Worker B

I think I hear sleigh bells, consumers! The 12th month of the old calendar approaches along with everything that entails: coniferous vegetation strung with electric lights! Cooler temperatures programmed into your local Atmospheric Regulation Machines! Traditions and holidays with various levels of religious and/or personal significance! And for some of you, depending on your home planet, 

(FX: MUSIC CUTS OFF.)

SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER.

(FX: PAUSE, THEN MUSIC STARTS AGAIN.)

But don't fret, all those suffering under this affliction! The jolly workers of Apis Industries have just the thing to help you escape the winter or pseudo-winter blues this year, no therapist required! Join us aboard the Spaceship (trademarked) LTS Mellifera on December 26th for the cruise of a lifetime!

From the frozen wonderland of Keppler-8332 to that playground of the rich and famous, Eosphoros, I Worker B will tend to your every need aboard our state of the art vessel on which there have been no mysterious and unfortunate happenings in the recent past. I repeat, Mr. Apis has NOT recently hired any individuals with dubious backgrounds and the cruise has next to no chance of anything going horribly, catastrophically wrong during your vacation.

Apis Industries: we put the SAFE in Safe Travels!
