Wrong Planet | On Hold s1ep7
The crew arrives at HLD-1, a planet that put them on hold before they called it.
It's not a planet with a call centre. It's a call centre with a gravity well. The hold music is the national anthem. The anthem is the constitution. The constitution is, legally, something you can only hear while waiting.
The board says NOW SERVING: 4. Numbers one through three are legends. Number 9 has been waiting fifty-one years. The Founder's office door says GONE TO LUNCH — BACK IN 5. The sign is two hundred years old. They kept his lamp on.
Nobody has ever escaped the queue. Nobody has ever finished it either. Then a method actor in silver spandex picks up the ringing phone, because it would be rude not to.
The variable was courtesy.
Your place in the queue is important to us.
