HOT 'N' READY

Clogging the corridors of an intergalactic research center, the Lunch Box Kids (Ready, Steady, and E’ddy) made IRC-99C their musical playground. Hacking into the outlets that powered emergency signal systems proved dangerous, but they needed power mid-hallway in order to blast their beats to the passersby. Aboard the intrastation railway system (IRS), they performed, much to the chagrin of passengers, while twirling around stability harnesses and nearly missing the closing doors. A helmet was passed around for those with a few Space Bucks to spare, but it was never enough. Determined to rid themselves of the confinement their parents had doomed them to (they could one day be conscripted into the same workforce), Ready, Steady, and E’ddy wormed their way into the database onboard the IRC and began scrambling the code, creating a recording software hidden amongst miles and miles of data. Using a Tele-Link, they were able to help pirate their own tunes, dubbed “hash browns” after their favorite cafeteria snack, and distribute them to the nearest planet cluster. Hash Brown only existed as a bootleg album, though all the songs were untouched from their original release, and catapulted the trio into minor stardom. Suddenly, and most, unfortunately, the trio disappeared, nary a beat in their mysterious wake. Some say they too were sucked into the machine; others say they are still onboard IRC-99C, studying the effects of convection oven temperatures on potatoes.
