Episode 16: Big Numbers and Little Science

In which Drop Time comes again to The Fairgrounds, though several newcomers to the station have no idea what this period -- when the station drops a certain amount of days from the calendar to get in line with Earth's -- means for them. For John B, it means his birthday is getting skipped, for Dee, it means a cruel prank regarding a non-binding contract, for the energy being Lt. Frall, it means trying to drink coffee and pouring it on the floor, and for most of the crew, it means a time to slack off and ignore all rules. An angry John B searches for the hidden Timekeeping Central department, to discover the secret of The Algorithm that decides when Drop Time occurs, while H.F. takes Dee on a tour of several secret places on the station only available to the public during Drop Time.     EPISODE SIXTEEN "Big Numbers and Little Science" written by Linus Gelber   featuring Berit Johnson as Althaar, Herbert, Sopon, Alien Barfly, Video Kid John Amir as John B, Sanitation Grunt, Video Kid Ivanna Cullinan as Commander Mindy Torianna Alyssa Simon as Lieutenant-Commander Frallen-Br'ar, Indistinct Caller Derrick Peterson as Xtopps, HECNET Responder, Alien Duck Chris Lee as Chip Frinkel, Barry the Pilot Zuri Washington as Delilah "Dee" Mallory, Video Kid Eli Ganias as Hardyfox "H.F."
