Meet NORB-E

His name is Non Organic Robot Buddy – Explorer Class. But you can call him NORB-E. He’s a space exploration assistant tasked with helping us on our mission to seek the glory of God in the furthest reaches of the universe.

Meet Captain Crank

You’d better buckle up, though, there’s turbulence ahead! Captain Crank is the crankiest kitty in all of outer space and he won’t stop until our plans are puuurfectly foiled. Don’t worry, though! With the help of NORB-E, we’ll outwit that cranky kitty and discover that the glory of God is out of this world!

Captain Crank.
Gary is Captain Crank's alien sidekick.

Meet Gary

Look out—it’s double trouble! Being the “Menace of the Milky Way” is more than one cat can handle. That’s where Gary comes in. He’s Captain Crank’s sensible side-kick. If only he could get that cranky kitty to listen to his suggestions. It’s so hard being an intergalactic intern!
