The USS Nemo exited hyperspace and came upon a new planet with oceans and vegetation. "Imra, what am I looking at?" Mon asked from the captain's chair.

"Seventeen percent oxygen, eighty-one percent nitrogen," Imra reported.

"Sounds too good to be true," Eltro said skeptically.

"Any people for us to liberate?" Mon asked.

"The planet has a diverse ecology but no sign of humanoid life," Imra said.

"Still, some asshole might have a claim on it. Scan the planet for any markers, beacons, or satellites," Mon ordered.

"None in range," Ol replied.

"Well...shit," Mon said bored. "Prep the Atlas. I'm thinking we should drop down on the northern continent," Mon ordered. "Find a suitable place to land," he ordered Dax.

"Captain...," Imra said condescendingly. "There are several protocols you might want to follow."

"Fuck," Mon said under his breath.

"Titan ships would send automated probes down to get more detailed scans, we would then conduct a geophysical survey from orbit," Imra said smugly.

"How long would all that shit take?" Mon asked impatiently.

"Six or seven days," Imra replied.

"Yeah...bullshit!" the entire Insane crew said at once.

"I understand you have a more cautious approach," Mon said delicately. "One based on cowardice and a lack of ambition. We didn't come here to fuck around for a week," he told her off. "Get the Atlas ready," he ordered Eltro. He then turned back to Imra. "Put together a survey team of expendables," he ordered her.

As the shuttle was being prepped, a human crewmember, Elizabeth Cutler, approached Imra. "I tried Titan soup in the mess hall. It was...interesting," she said conversationally.

"You don't need to brown-nose to me. I can read your thoughts," Imra shut her down.

"Thanks for choosing me for this mission," Elizabeth said appreciatively.

"Don't thank me yet. The captain is violating all known protocols on landing on a new world and will likely get the entire survey team killed as a result," Imra said dryly.

Elizabeth frowned and went to give a case to Eltro. "Don't worry about the XO. Every day is that time of the month for her," he said to her.

"Holy shit," Elizabeth realized as she was caught between two extremes.

The Atlas cargo ship descended down onto the planet and landed in an open field with a forest around them. Mon, Imra, Eltro, Dax, and three human crewmembers had come down. "Oxygen levels below nineteen percent can cause serious health effects for humans," Imra said as she scanned the air.

"Yeah, well, I'm Insane so why should I give a shit?" Mon wondered.

"A third of the survey team are humans," Imra reminded him.

"Oh, right," Mon remembered. "Look at this blue sky. Is it ever like this on Titan?"

"Occasionally," Imra humored him.

"You're on a new virgin world. Doesn't that impress you?" Mon asked her.

"I've been on thirty-six M-Class worlds. This experience is extremely similar to Earth," Imra said as she looked around.

"Speaking of which, Eltro, plant the flag," Mon ordered.

Eltro took the Imperial flag out of the ship and then planted it firmly on the ground. Mon turned to the survey team. "Find me something or someone I can kick ass on," he ordered.

"We'll meet back here at 1900 hours," Imra ordered the survey team.

For several hours, Mon, Elto, and Dax hiked around the area and talked shit. At some point, Mon got a call from Imra. "What?" he asked annoyed.

"We were supposed to meet back fifteen minutes ago," she reminded him.

"I always operate on Insane time," Mon reminded her and then took his sweet-ass time to get to her position.

Upon arriving, Imra reported her findings. "We found several nocturnal marsupials. I'd like the humans to stay here overnight for observation."

"Good shit. I'll pick you up in the morning," Mon said having no intention of following through.

"Captain, Dax and I would like to stay behind and sleep together under the stars," Elto said.

"This is a research mission, not shore leave," Imra scolded them.

"I agree, that is pretty queer," Mon seconded.

"We have a much higher likelihood of killing shit in the field than on the ship," Elto argued.

Mon was moved by his plea. "Pitch your tents. I'll see you in the morning."

That night, the Insane-human-Titan research expedition hung out by a campfire and told horror stories. "Keep in mind, those cargo vessels weren't equipped for rescue operations. So, the captain wasn't sure what to do when he picked up the distress call. But it wasn't a ship that sent the signal. It was the life pod. It took my uncle over an hour to cut through the hull but when he finally got it open, the pod was empty. Nobody, nothing," Dax narrated.

"Is that it? Is that the story?" Eltro asked incredulously.

"Yep," Dax nodded.

"That wasn't very scary," Elizabeth said boldly.

"For an Insane, being bored is absolutely horrifying," Dax clarified.

"Your story is bullshit," Imra said, off to the side, and having read his mind.

"Let me guess, no ghost stories on Titan," Eltro assumed.

"We like interesting stories," Imra mocked.

"I got a headache. If it's alright with you, I'd like to turn in," Ethan Novakovich said to Imra.

"Ethan, don't be a bitch," Eltro chided.

"Permission granted," Imra said to him.

The wind then picked up sending them all into their weak-ass tents. Inside, Eltro and Dax were having a blast retelling stories of violent storms they had been in. In the human tent, Ethan was freaking out. "Did you hear that? There's someone out there. It's game over, game over!"

"Shut the fuck up and go to sleep," Elizabeth scolded.

Inside the Insane tent, Eltro suddenly had an issue. "Son of a bitch! There's a bug in my sleeping bag!" he shouted and then attempted to fire on it with his hand.

"You're going to fire on a bug?" Dax asked stunned.

"If it's in my sleeping bag, I will," Eltro said resolved, and pointed his hand at the scorpion-looking bug.

"Do you need assistance?" Imra asked, reading his mind.

"No, I got this," Eltro said as he targeted the bug.

"Don't do it," Dax warned.

Suddenly, the tent exploded as Eltro overfired. "Well...shit," Eltro remarked as the tent was completely destroyed. "I guess we'll have to sleep in Imra's tent."

"That's a negative. We're moving to a nearby cave," Imra ordered all of them as the winds became too much.

On the Nemo, Ol reported to Mon on updates with the survey team. "The survey team has decided to bitch out and take shelter in a cave to avoid the wind storm. I do have the shuttle on standby should you wish to disgrace them."

Mon nodded and then activated his badge. "Imra, what's your status?"

"We've taken shelter inside a cavern," Imra reported.

"Ol thinks we should come and get you," Mon said, giving nothing away.

Imra detected what Mon was trying to do. "We'll be fine here until the winds diminish."

"Let me know if you need anything at all, anything," Mon said with false sincerity and then signed off. He then turned to Ol. "If Eltro acts like a bitch out there, I'll have you replace him. Pray...they plead for a shuttle ride."

"Yes, Sir," Ol smirked.

Inside the cave, they started opening compartments and realized there was no food. "Who's got the food packs?" Eltro asked around.

"Nope," Elizabeth reported as she opened the last compartment.

"We must have left them at the campsite," Imra assumed as she read everyone's mind.

"I'll go get them," Dax volunteered.

"It's not advisable for him to go off on his own," Imra said disagreeably.

"If he can't walk half a click in a hurricane, he's useless," Eltro replied.

Outside, Dax managed to get himself a single MRE (Meal Ready to Eat) and reported back. "Did anyone else go out?" he asked, spooked.

"No, why?" Eltro asked.

"There are other crewmembers out there, near the campsite. They want to steal our food," Dax said paranoid.

"It would not be beneath the captain to send people down to the surface to fuck with us," Imra considered. "However, other than ourselves, there are no humanoid lifeforms here," she said as she read her scanner.

"Your scanner is shit," Dax said adamantly.

"It's functioning perfectly. Perhaps you're imagining things," Imra said and then read his mind. "No, he saw something out there."

"You see?" Dax said victoriously.

"There's someone back there," Ethan said freaking out from the rear of the cave. "It's not safe here."

"Good...good," Eltro grinned insanely.

"We should leave!" Ethan stressed.

"Are you suggesting we go back into the storm?" Imra asked calmly.

"Better than being trapped in here!" Ethan shouted.

"Stop being a bitch," Eltro scolded. "That's an order."

Ethan ran off out of the cave. "Dax, you're with me." "Stay here. I'm going to go get him and beat his ass," he said to the others. The two then casually walked out of the cave and into the storm. After a short walk, the two nearly fell off a cliff.

"What the fuck?" Dax wondered as the cliff came out of nowhere.

"There's something here," Eltro said as he sensed an odd ki signature. "Fuck Ethan, we're going back."

Inside the cavern, Imra and Elizabeth searched around on the off-chance Ethan did actually see something in the rear of the cave. Elizabeth began seeing and hearing voices ahead of her. She then saw Imra talking with some random aliens. "Who were you talking to?" she asked paranoid.

"No one," Imra said to her. She then read her mind as to the confusion. "You're seeing and hearing things that are not there."

"Okay," Elizabeth nodded, convinced by Imra's mind-control.

Eltro and Dax came back into the cave. "We lost Ethan. He was always complaining and acting scared. Fuck'em," Eltro concluded. "There are creatures inside the rock," he said to Imra.

"I did an analysis. It's just rock," Imra told him.

"Tell them what's going on," Elizabeth suggested.

"You are all suffering from hallucinations, but I cannot pin down the cause," Imra told them all.

"Yeah, bullshit," Eltro doubted.

"I have no reason to deceive you," Imra rolled her eyes.

"I'd like to believe you but you, Titans, are shady as fuck," Eltro said to her.

"Your point?" Imra wondered.

"You've held back information before. You may be doing it again," Eltro accused. His communicator then activated. "Captain."

"You, good?" Mon asked knowingly.

"We lost Ethan but he was a bitch. Otherwise, all good," Eltro reported.

"Well, okay then," Mon said and then signed off.

Eltro and Imra continued to argue in the cave. "There are...rock people...in this cave," he said convinced. "What the fuck is going on here?"

"You should be more concerned with your crewmember that is lost in the woods and will likely not survive the night," Imra scolded.

"I don't give a damn about him," Eltro replied. "I don't subscribe to useless sympathy. It's not the Insane way."

"Your Insane way is interfering with your judgment," Imra chided.

"Sir, we're running low on water," Dax reported.

"Drink your own piss," Eltro advised.

"That's not necessary. There's a stream of water deeper into the cave," Imra bristled.

"How do we know you're not getting reinforcements to fuck us?" Eltro asked paranoid.

"Join me...in the water...nude...if you want," Imra enticed.

"I know you're playing me. For once, I'm not going to think with my dick," Eltro told her off.

"I can survive without water for several days. Can you?" Imra asked him.

"Yeah," Eltro nodded.

"I can't," Elizabeth squeaked.

Eltro powered up his right hand and pointed it at Imra. "Sit your ass down. I'm taking charge."

On the Nemo, Mon went to Laurel. "Patch me through to Ethan," he ordered.

Laurel opened a channel to Ethan's communicator and heard non-stop screaming, moaning, and muttering. Mon smiled amused and then sat back in his captain's chair as he listened to Ethan's lamentations for the next couple hours.

"La Musica," Laurel smiled.

"Keep it going continuously," Mon ordered and then mediated on Ethan's terror.

In the cave, Eltro was suspicious of Imra as she worked on her scanner. "What are you doing?" he asked her.

"Working. You should try it sometime," she mocked.

"On what?" Eltro asked suspiciously.

"Scans I took earlier today," she said calmly.

"Anything you'd like to share with the class?" Eltro asked.

"There's nothing out of the ordinary on this planet. This has been a huge waste of my time," Imra said annoyed.

"That's what you want us to think. Give me that shit," Eltro demanded and took her scanner.

"The readings are in Titan. You won't understand them," Imra rolled her eyes.

"This could be evidence?" Eltro said of her scanner.

"Of what?" Imra humored him.

"Conspiracy," Eltro said vaguely.

"This has been interesting. I've learned a great deal on Insane behavior. Under stress, you're quite volatile. You're a far more dangerous species than I was led to believe," Imra realized.

"Planetary destruction and mass genocide, as we raped and pillaged across the galaxy, didn't tip you off?" Eltro wondered.

"I always knew you were galactic assholes, but I always assumed you would remain loyal to your allies," Imra clarified.

"You're here to sabotage our mission!" Eltro accused.

"If I wanted to sabotage your mission, it would be too easy. I would have done it on day one," Imra said obviously.

"You're the one that found these caves and it was your idea to stay here overnight," Dax accused.

"For fuck's sake," Imra sighed.

"Show yourselves! I know you're there. I can sense you," Eltro shouted at the cave walls.

"All I see is a delusional Insane engineer. It's sad," Imra chided.

"Commander, there!" Dax pointed out a worm crawling on the cave wall.

Eltro fired on the cave wall showering them all in sparks. "I'll tear this cave apart if I have to. I know you're there!" he shouted at the wall.

Mon and Brainiac 5 had a chat while Ethan's screams were still being circulated on the comm system. "You found something?" Mon asked him.

"There was an alien lifeform on the planet," Brainiac 5 discovered.

"Well...no shit," Mon said of all of the vegetation.

"A single Orando lifeform," Brainiac 5 clarified.

"Where?" Mon asked intrigued.

"It was in close proximity to the survey team," Brainiac 5 replied. "Now, I no longer have a lock on it."

"How do you know these readings aren't a deception?" Mon asked.

"As a non-organic, I'm immune to sensory deception and so is the ship's computer," Brainiac 5 replied.

"Is Imra also immune?" Mon asked.

"Hard to say for a telepath. She may be more or less affected than the others," Brainiac 5 said.

Mon contacted Imra's communicator. "Report."

"I have an Insane man pointing his hand at my head," Imra reported.

"The fuck, over?" Mon wondered.

"Captain, this Titan lady is not who she appears to be. There are creatures here hiding in the rock. Dax and I have both seen them. These rock creatures are in conspiracy with Imra but she denies it," Eltro reported.

"Carry on with your investigation and report all findings to me," Mon ordered him.

"Will do, Captain," Eltro replied.

Mon signed off hoping the two factions would come to blows. He then turned to Ol. "You may very well win by default."

As the hours passed by, Elizabeth went to sleep, tired of the intergalactic bullshit between the Titan and Insane. "Dax, wake the fuck up," Eltro scolded him as he faced off against Imra.

"If you're waiting for me to pass out, you're wasting your time," Eltro said to Imra.

"Please, if I wanted to make you fall asleep, it would be too easy," Imra scoffed.

"Then, why haven't you done it already?" Eltro doubted.

"You're not a threat to me, Insane," Imra mocked. "You never were, you never will."

"And what if I blow up the planet with you on it?" Eltro asked her.

Imra then got a call from Mon. "How are you doing?" he asked her.

"Never better," Imra muttered.

"Listen very carefully. There is an Orando on the planet," Mon informed them.

"The only ones here are the rock people!" Eltro objected.

"Oh, really?" Mon mocked. "Well, go to town! Kill those motherfuckers. Report back to me when you've destroyed the enemy."

"Roger that, Captain," Eltro said insanely and then began firing energy blasts into the cave to destroy the rock people. Imra waited calmly as the energy beams went past her. As the beams came closer to her, she formed a telekinetic shield around herself. She finally lifted her hand and made Eltro go to sleep.

"Finally, some peace and quiet," Imra said to herself.

The next morning, the storm had passed. Mon teleported to the planet's surface in an open field. "I know you're here," he said to the open field.

The air appeared to open as a white-haired woman in a black dress appeared before him. "You are an Insane," she identified.

"Mon-El, Prince of all Insane," Mon introduced himself.

"Wilimena Morgana Daergina Annaxandra Projectra Velorya Vauxhall, Princess of Orando," she introduced herself.

"Holy shit," Mon said of her name but quickly recovered. "You've been fucking with my men. I've come to return the favor."

"And why should I fight you?" Projecta asked.

"I'll blow up the planet with you on it if you don't," Mon threatened.

Projecta frowned, taking him seriously. She took out her sword ready to fight. Mon created several clones of himself and then sent them out toward her. With her sword, she slashed all the clones to pieces, evaporating them. Mon eyed his clones as none of them were able to get any hits on her.

"I can control all five senses. You're powerless to defeat me," Projecta said to him.

"Do you know how I found you?" Mon asked her.

"Your ship's lifeform readings," Projecta assumed.

"Not only that but I know your precise location," Mon said to her. "I may not be able to trust my eyes and ears to where you are, but I can sense your ki. I also know there must be a range to your power."

Mon suddenly powered up creating a firestorm of energy around him. Projecta was caught in the firestorm but gave it an unconcerned look. "You think you can just burn the whole planet to get to me?" she mocked.

Mon suddenly teleported to her position and grabbed her arm. "I've caught you, bitch."

"Is the arm you're holding really my arm?" Projecta teased.

"You trying to say this is part of your complete hypnosis?" Mon doubted.

"I can control your sense of touch as well," Projecta reminded him.

"Only one way to find out," Mon smirked as he powered up.

"With this much energy, you'll kill your subordinates in the blast," Projecta said to him.

"What makes you think I give a shit?" Mon asked her.

"Do it, then," Projecta challenged.

Mon and Projecta stared each other down, neither one budging. Mon finally powered down and then saw Projecta disappear from his view.

In the cave, Eltro woke up with a bad migraine. "Did you force me to go to sleep?" he asked Imra accusingly.

"I'm afraid I did," Imra said honestly.

"I was hoping it was all a bad dream," Dax said befuddled.

"Where the fuck are the rock people?" Eltro asked, looking around.

"They were never here. You've been suffering from hallucinations brought on by an Orando," Imra revealed.

"What?" Elizabeth wondered.

"There are some talented Orandos capable of controlling the senses, creating illusions. It doesn't work on a telepath like me. I couldn't sense any minds within the illusions and that's not something an Orando can fool," Imra said. "I think, therefore, I am."

"I think my theory about the rock people is more reasonable," Eltro said defensively.

"You've become increasingly erratic and illogical," Imra chided.

"I know I might have shot my mouth off last night...but I'm not apologizing," Eltro told her.

"I expected nothing less from an Insane," Imra mocked.

"Is Ethan...still alive?" Dax wondered.

"Yes, let's collect him," Imra said to them all.

"Wait, if there's an Orando on the surface, we can't trust anything we see or hear out there," Eltro pointed out.

"The Orando isn't here," Imra sensed.

On the Nemo, Mon went to his quarters only to find Projecta waiting for him. "You came aboard when the shuttle returned to the ship," Mon assumed.

"And you knew my illusions would fade by taking your ship farther away from the planet. I'm impressed," Projecta smiled.

"Being able to control all five senses on a planet from an orbiting ship is way OP," Mon said to her. "But you're not invincible. Your illusions don't work on Barney, a non-organic being, nor do they work on a telepath."

"Or an Insane of your caliber," Projecta said flirtatiously.

"Like how I know you're not even in my quarters but somewhere else on the ship," Mon said and then wiped his hand through her face. Projecta then placed her hand on his face. He could feel her as if she were real.

"I was trapped on that wretched planet for a long time. Take me back to Orlando and I'll reward you," she said as she gave him a kiss.

"My Insane pride won't let me fuck an illusion," Mon told her off.

"Physically, I'm as weak as your human crew. If I reveal my true self to you, I'm taking an awful risk," Projecta said to him.

"You'll do it or I'll cut the life support to the ship. I can survive without air longer than you can," Mon threatened.

"How will you do that when I can control your sight and touch when it comes to your consoles? How will you really know you're speaking to your robot and not just me?" Projecta asked.

"After I bring back my survey team to the ship, I'll take you to Orando," Mon promised.

"No," Projecta smiled. "You're going to take me now. I'm not going to let you bring that telepath on board or do you want your entire crew to freak the fuck out and blow up your ship? How embarrassing."

"Like I give a damn," Mon countered.

"Surely, the Insane thing to do would be to maroon your survey team on the planet, let them fight each other for the honor of first officer, and see if they can survive the wilderness for a week while you enjoy my company," Projecta tempted.

Mon suddenly teleported to the engine room and slammed the real Projecta against a wall. "Just...so we understand each other," he agreed.

"Perfectly," Projecta nodded.

Mon took his sweet time with the real Projecta until they reached Orando. He dumped her off, received the hospitality of the royal family, and then returned to the unknown planet to pick up his disgruntled crew.

Author's Notes: Projecta is given Aizen-level abilities with complete hypnosis in AOS. For clarity's sake, Projecta was onboard the Nemo for most of this episode and just messing with the survey team down below for funsies. When she fought Mon on the surface, she also was not even there and made Mon believe his clones had been killed. I hope to show the tactical use of Projecta and how horrifying this ability really is in the future but this is merely her origin episode.
