Turn 1:Boldly Go

Scan for wild Space Cows.

As Captain of the Moloko, you immediate take your place in the command chair to try and resolve this issue. You're Cap'n Crunch after all, you can't have your crew unable to fully assemble their complete breakfasts. You give the orders to scan for space cows. The scanners detect the presence of a herd of space cows somewhere in this star system, but are unable to give a more precise location. Perhaps they are momentarily concealed by a dark matter concentration.

4

You are R15-B15. Your advanced synthetic body makes you perfectly suited to your role as Chief Engineer. As the general notice goes out that the ship's milk supply is missing, you remotely access the food replicators and shut them down. Presumably, an organized solution would be best here.

2,5

You attempt to access the food replicators, but are unable to use the device. An error screen flashes a message;"ERROR:ACCESS DENIED BY ORDER OF CHIEF ENGINEER." Deciding not to wait for whatever B15 is planning, you roll down to the cargo bay and locate a space cow in a cage made of force fields. A space cow is shaped a bit like an Earth porpoise, with black and white patterns on its hide, a pair of rippling fins along its sides that it uses to fly, two horns where its eyes should be, and an udder.

Rank (Optional): Janitor
Why do you want milk? Works great to clean the floor when mixed with other products.

As the janitor, you're well aware of all the places the crew store items that they think are secret. You slither around from stash to stash, but it seems that the ship is indeed out of milk.

4

You head to one of the many science labs and begin programming a new genetic creation. A few minutes later, the modified genome is compiled and a replicator* produces a handful of seeds for you. It will still need to be grown to produce milk and light.

*Thankfully, this was one of the science replicators. The food replicators have been deactivated by order of the Chief Engineer.

Check our stock records for quantities of milk, shipments of milk, and usage of milk, and any inconsistencies therein, as well as suspicious acquirements.

2

As the ship's AI, you have access to all the computers and records aboard ship. You search the stock records, but can't find anything particularly noteworthy. The numerous milk-related requests that the crew are spamming into the replicators and computers is creating a great deal of white noise. One of your subroutines pops up to inform you that Bumpo the Clown attempted to create an entire adult space cow using a standard replicator shortly after the Chief Engineer shut down the replicators.

Head to the Food Replicator- Request one Entire Adult Space Cow.

I like the idea that in the future "Clown" is explicitly a rank that someone on a ship might have.

1

You're Bumpo the Clown. As you know, everyone else on the ship is trying to feed you poison in the name of the ancient lizard government. The only cure is milk, but of course getting it won't be easy in this place. You try to put in a perfectly reasonable request to one of the replicators, but an error message pops up. "ERROR:R15-B15 WON'T LET YOU HAVE MILK."

6

You contact Earth using a quantum entanglement communicator. You reach a bored-looking bureaucrat who asks you to explain the nature of your call. You explain the sudden loss of milk, and the bureaucrat redirects you to a nearly identical worker elsewhere in the galaxy. Several steps later, you're pretty sure you're no closer to actually getting any milk.

3

You are Fallas d'Florist, Head Bioscientist. You enter one of the labs and walk past Boris, who appears to be experimenting on some kind of potato. You reach the cold storage shelves and retrieve a vial of cow DNA. Before you can insert it into one of the flash cloning cylinders, an alien goat abomination with seven heads appears out of thin air, runs toward you, and trips over its own feet. One of the goat's 49 horns knocks the DNA vial from your hand as it falls.

(Randomly selected target:Fallas d'Florist)
2

You are Nuhg-Htamus, the goat abomination. You will acquire some milk, and so free the eldritch demons who shall lead you to the gnawing death of the universe.

Also, for some reason you're going to headbutt people. You start by appearing in a laboratory on the Moloko and charging the nearest nerd. Having 14 eyes makes it a bit difficult to judge the distance however, causing you to trip. As you fall, you feel one of your horns knock something out of your target's hand.

Yeah, Minimalism & Milk is awesome.

Head to a laboratory and use the science replicators to help me figure out just how much milk I need for the amount of antimatter this ship is storing.
