Prologue
The Chicken Nugget Farm
Chicken Nugget Corporation was an American fast-food company, originally founded in 2042 as a small family-owned restaurant called The Chicken Nugget Farm, which was built in Guacamole, Idaho—a strange decision to name a new city after a Mexican dip. The Buttrugger family's company grew to become a huge success due to the popularity of their chicken nuggets.
As the decades went by, the founders' grandson, Malcolm Buttrugger, decided to expand his business farther than Earth. He wanted his chicken nuggets' worldwide success to be spread across the galaxy. He began by building a restaurant on the nearby planet of Mars, which also included an entire facility to farm chickens used to make the nuggets.
There were many claims against him that the reason for doing this was that he was just greedy for money, which he quickly dismissed. They should have been grateful that the quality of the food hadn't deteriorated. His product was made the same way since it began. It was so much a success that he feared trying to cut corners would ultimately cut into the quality of the food, thus receiving bad reviews, sending his company spiraling into oblivion.
If nothing changed in the food-making process, his popularity would continue to grow.
30 years after Malcolm took over the company from his grandparents, more and more customers had taken to inhabiting Mars just to obtain the delicious food. But very soon, Buttrugger discovered a problem. All chicken nuggets that had been made over the past week kept disappearing. It was unclear whether someone was stealing them, but he was determined to get to the bottom of this. He called in a professional, who quickly boarded a ship to Mars to help investigate the matter.
He would not let some cowardly saboteur jeopardize his success on Mars.
