Greetings, Captain, and welcome aboard the NBA Sunblaster!
I'm First Officer Greeblax Young, at your service.
A few days ago, ICP scientists picked up a strange reading on their scanners -- a space-time anomaly radiating pure Evil throughout the entire galaxy. The Evil is increasing in intensity at an alarming, exponential rate, and it has been determined that 52 galactic weeks from now the levels of Evil will be sufficient to make the entire galaxy explode in a very, very unpleasant manner.
Your mission, which you will soon see you have no choice but to accept, is to seek out the source of this Evil, and put a stop to it.
If you run out of gas or run too low on crew you will also have the option to:

Message from First Officer Nortquee Dunn:
Captain, the Freedombucket has received your distress signal, and dispatched a rescue ship with a can of gas. Unfortunately, the pilot of the ship demanded a X Crab tip before he would give us the gas.
if you are low on crew you receive 10 crew
In both cases X is 50% of your Crabs.
If you do not destroy the Source within 52 weeks you lose:
Despite your valiant efforts, the Source reached a frenzy of Evil so intense that the entire galaxy was blown into smaller-than-galaxy-sized pieces and scattered through the cold, uncaring reaches of the universe.
Millenia from now, astronomers from other galaxies will notice a little bright spot in their telescopes, and say to themselves "Huh. Wonder what that's all about."
