‘Futurology’ is a Sci-Fi musical that tells the story of three futuristic, space-traveling women with amazing intellect and superior powers from the 27th century. Their travels are suddenly interrupted by the Commander, an unseen, powerful leader of the Unified Alliance of Planets who calls upon them to journey back in time to the beginning of the second millennium of planet Earth.
 The Commander has picked up a desperate and urgent cry for help from a young woman in the year 2000, Darima Loraine Spencer. Her illustrious history as recorded in the annals of time shows that she was destined to achieve greatness in her lifetime on Earth, yet finds herself in a pivotal and crucial time in her journey.

Can they guide her toward her historically glorious path, or will GravyTrain cause her world to come crashing down? Will the course of history be changed and the very existence of the powerful mentors be jeopardized? Join, Captain Larnyce, Lt. Mirvan and Lt. Mokia #1 as they seek to fulfill their mission and launch Darima back into her ‘Futurology’!
