Ep 2. Getting to Know You

In Other Space season 1 episode 2, titled "Getting to Know You," the crew of the USS Cruiser continues to navigate their way through the unknown and dangerous territory of the Alternate Universe. After narrowly escaping a black hole, the crew receives a distress signal from a nearby planet and decides to investigate.

While on the planet, the crew discovers a group of alien creatures who are in need of assistance. The aliens, known as the Zephyrites, are facing a food shortage crisis, and their leader, Zaliana, requests the help of the USS Cruiser crew to find a new source of food for their people.

As the crew begins to work with the Zephyrites, tensions start to rise between some of the crew members. Karen, who had been appointed as the ship's captain in the previous episode, is struggling to assert her authority over the others, particularly her brother, Stewart.

Stewart, who is the ship's navigator, is more interested in bonding with the Zephyrites and exploring the planet than following Karen's orders. Meanwhile, the ship's AI, Natasha, seems to be malfunctioning, causing her to act erratically and make inappropriate comments.

As the crew searches for a new food source, they come across a group of hostile aliens who are also searching for the same resources. The crew must work together to overcome the obstacles and save the Zephyrites from starvation.

Throughout the episode, the crew members begin to open up to each other and reveal more about their backgrounds and personalities. Karen shares her insecurities about being an inexperienced captain, while Michael, the ship's engineer, reveals a secret about his past that deeply affects him.

Overall, "Getting to Know You" is an action-packed episode that further develops the characters and their relationships while also introducing new challenges for the crew to overcome.
