    I step on to the glimmering blue teleporter and beam aboard my Javelin spaceship, a slew of aluminum, carbon and silicon particles in hand. Immediately, some screens on the upper deck start playing an advert for something called Mini-Mall Monkeys.

The clip, performed by real actors in brightly colored outfits, is shot like a toy commercial from the 1990s.
