    A seasoned human mechanic, bored with routine repairs, gets permission from a skeptical alien ambassador to tinker with his technologically advanced, but seemingly standard, diplomatic shuttle. Driven by curiosity and a desire to push boundaries, the mechanic secretly installs cutting-edge upgrades. The result? A wild test ride that shatters the ambassador's understanding of human ingenuity and sparks a newfound respect for the species.

    Jax, "Now should I go for ludicrous speed or keep it some sort of sensical?"
    Ambassador, "I will be detained for another hour, I hope this is sufficient time for you to complete your paltry 'upgrades'."
    Jax, "Ludicrous it is then."

    These stories need weekly episodic live-action acting. I'm thinking episodes that are stories themselves. Sort of like Tales from the Crypt, etc.
