NARRATOR: Space, the final frontier.
Filled with a galaxy of flora and fauna,
some deadly and some docile.
Like this Tardigrade here.
Using the mycelial network as a kind of super-warp highway,
she travels the vast reaches of the galaxy,
searching for a place to lay her most precious cargo,
her eggs.
As Tardigrade eggs have been known to lay dormant for years before hatching,
Mother must find a warm, protected environment
to ensure their survival.
She senses something.
Could it be a predator?

NARRATOR: At last,
peace returns to the world of our mother Tardigrade.
We can't help but wonder
what adventures await as our new family goes boldly
where no one has gone before.
