The Ultimate Inferior Beings

When jixX is appointed spaceship captain for a dangerous space mission he doesnt regard it as a promotion. More like a computer error, given hes a landscape architect. The error theory gains in strength when he meets the crew: a carpenter, a gynaecologist and a scientist trying to prove the existence of God. To add to jixXs woes, theres a stowaway on board, one of his crew is a saboteur and the ships computer thinks its a comedian. And then they meet aliens. Not technologically advanced aliens - their civilization is based on the invention of the brick - but jixX has a bad feeling about them anyway. Among them are a religious bunch who believe in The Ultimate Inferior Beings - a species that are really, really bad at everything. According to an ancient prophecy this species will, perhaps inadvertently or absent-mindedly or through some tragic mishap, bring about the end of the Universe. One alien becomes convinced that the humans are these incompetent beings. He realizes he must be the Chosen One, and that it is his Duty to wipe them out before they can trigger total annihilation. So it comes down to jixX to save Humankind ... The End of the Universe is nigh ... Landscape architect jixX is way out of his depth when mistakenly appointed captain of a dangerous space mission. Hes never flown a spaceship before, but at least hes not alone; none of his crewmembers have, either. To make matters worse, the ships computer thinks its a comedian. So the last thing jixX needs is an encounter with aliens, particularly a nutty bunch of religious fanatics. They believe in the existence of The Ultimate Inferior Beings, a species so totally inept at everything that, according to an ancient prophecy, their incompetence will bring about the end of the Universe. One alien becomes convinced that humans are this bungling species and that the only way of saving the Universe is by destroying them. So it comes down to jixX to save Humankind.
