Ascending
Oar is the last of her kind -- a resident of the so-called planet of no return, once the Admiralty's dumping ground for undesirables and those who had become expendable. Oar's transparent body is indestructible. Yet the mind it houses grows weary and will soon surrender to the catatonic torpor that has already claimed the others of her genetically altered human race. But Oar cannot sleep, not yet. There are powerful forces seeking her destruction for reasons unknown. There are old allies who need her assistance and a true history that must be revealed. There is much Oar must accomplish before the apathetic hibernation overcomes her, though time is decidedly her enemy. Together with her friend, Admiral Festina Ramos, she must find her final destiny ... and in a vast and volatile universe, destiny is never a sure thing.

ASSAULT OF THE PARTY NERDS: The Lambda Alpha Beta fraternity is hitting some difficult times, as its only four members--nerds all--are about to graduate, with no new pledges in sight. In order to keep the frat alive, the guys decide to throw the party of the century to attract recruits. In the process, however, they encounter the wrath of the evil Bud and his jock fraternity. But when Ritchie (Richard Gabai, who also directs) encounters the affections of Bud's buxom girlfriend, Muffin (Michelle Bauer, VAMPIRE VIXENS FROM VENUS), Bud starts to really get mad!THE HEAVY PETTING DETECTIVE: Five years after throwing a killer party and stealing Muffin (Michelle Bauer, HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS) away from alpha-male Zeta frat member Bud, head party nerd Ritchie (Richard Gabai) has his own detective agency. He takes a job from Muffin's dad, Randolph (Burt Ward, who played Robin on TV's BATMAN), who is convinced that his daughter's husband--none other than the evil Bud--is trying to take over his company with the help of his duplicitous secretary (Tane McClure, LEGALLY BLONDE). Ritchie must now expose Bud's true motivations--as well as his unsavory obsessions--while solving another case for Norm Witherspoon (Arte Johnson, ROWAN& MARTIN'S LAUGH-IN), who doubts his wife's (Rhonda Shear, USA UP ALL NIGHT) faithfulness.
