After a short huddle with your mates, you hand Pig Nose one diamond.
"You're not a bunch of slick used car salesmen trying scam me?" he asks, wheezing. He inspects the diamond. Satisfied, he snorts.
"Load your crew into the van outside."
A short ride later, one of Pig Nose’s goons pulls the van into a hangar. You see a Cessna plane, bright fluorescent colors cover it. On the fuselage is a white rabbit showing the stopwatches of time and a caterpillar sitting on top of a mushroom smoking a hookah. A wide-eyed Alice sitting at a table is painted on the rudder.
The goon hops out and approaches a man in psychedelic coveralls popping gummy bears. He returns with four silver suits.
"That's Jefferson, your pilot. Put these on and piss off."
Walking to the plane, you see underneath the left wing is the word STAR and underneath the right is the word SHIP.
"Listen up punks," says Jefferson, "your generation got no destination. No propeller for a revolution. You want to ride the tiger?" He pauses as he starts up the engines.
"I'ma believe in miracles. You'll be transformed into actual musicians before the end of this trip."
His mocking laugh lashes at your ego.
"Got more gummies?" Tres asks Jefferson once the plane is airborne. His detective skills for routing out LSD is uncanny.
You and Tio drink whiskey for two straight hours to calm your nerves. It isn't working.
"One pill makes you higher ... one pill makes you lower,” Machete says, holding out his hand.
"Silver-suited men! Look what happens when you share purple berries with tunnel dwellers. Step away from the wooden ship's nuclear button." Jefferson exclaims, eyes bulging from their sockets. He vigorously shakes a Tibetan bell, making it sound like a rapid firing machine gun.
"Die, red spies!" Jefferson's body begins jerking erratically, "insurgents, red agent spies." He let's go of the control yoke, pulls a small gun out from underneath his coveralls, and fires at you. Hitting his hand away just in time, the bullets tear into the control panel instead of you. The engine dies and your course is set to a downward spiral.
You take the control yoke and pull back and manage to stop the spins.
Just like playin' a fuckin' video game, you think.
A small island comes into view. Your only chance of survival is landing on it.
Jefferson shakes his fist in the air energetically.
“Forty-nine square miles surrounded by reality! Free-minds, free-dope, free-bodies, free-music, the day is ours!"
"Flocka, Flocka," yells out Tres.
"It'll be a musical nightmare," Jefferson says and holds his head in his hands.
Getting closer to crashing, you and your mates see the island is not made up of land, but of trash, tons and tons of trash.
