A Gift from the Glish
The year is 2151 and Commander Henderson and the crew of H.M.S. Camden Lock are protecting Britain's interests in a changing galaxy. This week that means persuading alien cultures to move their businesses to the Peterborough enterprise zone. This would be difficult enough if there wasn't a lethal, man-eating parasite loose on the ship. Which there is.
Hello, Queppu
Commander Henderson and his crew are making First Contact with the alien civilisation of Queppu. The first rule of First Contact is: never, ever get romantically involved with a beautiful alien princess. So Henderson falls head over heels in love.Meanwhile, the ship has been left in the sole charge of Technical Officer Jeffers. Big mistake.
Weekend Off
Everyone on board the spaceship H.M.S. Camden Lock has the weekend off to mark Gary Neville Day - the holiday celebrating the 21st century footballer and inventor of artificial gravity.Vine has just bought an entire planet in an internet auction. He insists it was a bargain, and not the useless, poisonous ball of clay it appears to be.Teal is looking forward to dining with Henderson at the Officers' Dinner - perhaps a little bit too much.
Asteroid
The ship is hosting delicate peace talks between the Lallakkiss and the Bulaahg, two feuding alien species. When Henderson deploys his ingenuity and charm to hurry things along, the species unite and declare war on Britain. With Starbase unwilling to send back-up, it's the Camden Lock against 900 enemy ships.
Clare
While hunting for drug smugglers, the crew cross paths with Clare Winchester, the famous round-the-galaxy solo spacewoman. Concerned that she might have gone a bit loopy, and excited by the thought of meeting a real celebrity, Henderson drops in for a extremely ill-advised visit. Things aren't made any easier when the ship's cyborg pilot, Sandstrom, picks up a computer virus called 'Ploppymouth Two' which renders her useless. And very rude.
Assessment
The crew fail a routine psychological test and the Space Marshal isn't happy. He calls for a category J Inspection, but no ship has ever passed one before. In despair, Henderson hands command to York. The crew respond by rioting.Meanwhile, wise aliens are offering Vine the chance to become an immortal galactic supreme being. Will he join them?

Mayor of Kingstown
Mayor of Kingstown is set in a small Michigan town where the only industry remaining are federal, state, and private prisons, the story follows the McLusky family, the power brokers between the police, criminals, inmates, prison guards and politicians, in a city completely dependent on prisons and the prisoners they contain. It is a stark and brutal look at the business of incarceration.
The Ark
The Ark takes place 100 years in the future when planetary colonization missions have begun as a necessity to help secure the survival of the human race. The first of these missions on a spacecraft known as Ark One encounters a catastrophic event causing massive destruction and loss of life. With more than a year left to go before reaching their target planet, a lack of life-sustaining supplies and loss of leadership, the remaining crew must become the best versions of themselves to stay on course and survive.
Twisted Metal
Twisted Metal is about a motor-mouthed outsider offered a chance at a better life, but only if he can successfully deliver a mysterious package across a post-apocalyptic wasteland. With the help of a trigger-happy car thief, he faces savage marauders driving vehicles of destruction and other dangers of the open road, including a deranged clown who drives an all too familiar ice cream truck.
Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets follows a girls' high school soccer team. In 1975, the Dearborn High Yellowjackets became the first team in state history to qualify for the Girls' U.S. Soccer Championship Series in Manchester, NH. They never got the chance to compete. Equal parts survival epic, horror story and pitch black coming of age, Yellowjackets tells the story of the (un)lucky survivors of a plane crash deep in the Ontario wilderness, chronicling their descent from a friendly, cooperative team to warring, cannibalistic clans. At the same time, it follows the lives they've attempted to piece back together nearly twenty-five years later, proving that the past is never really past and what began out in the wilderness is far from over.
