Platz is the computer of the Ship. Starfire assigned crew positions to those who joined her mission to Tamaran. He took offense she made a crew and reminded her she could perform all the duties of everyone with both processors tied behind his back. Starfire introduced Platz to everyone else. Platz switched from the big monitor screen to a mini screen on an armbar. He offered to eject her crew into space but she insisted they were her friends. Platz offered Folding Paper Man a useful job, sending the ship into warp drive but the console looked like a baby toy. Folding Paper Man want to file a warp drive request first. Platz did it himself and everyone was thrown into the wall. The ship reached a cruising speed of 920,000 miles a second. Platz hit the brakes hard and pretended their was an emergency, a blob was attacking them. Sensors and communications failed them. Platz used evasive maneuvers but the blob was still on them. The crew was thrown into the giant monitor screen. Folding Paper Man fainted at the sight of the blob.
Starfire wanted Tooth Fairy's assistance in tending to him but 50% Chad pointed out she was out in space. Starfire wondered how she got out into space. Platz nonchalantly admitted he did it because Tooth Fairy creeped him out so he issued her a space time-out for a little bit. Starfire asked him to bring her back in. Freaky pointed out the blog got her. Their rescue attempts failed and Starfire was all but ready to give up but Platz gave her one last option, the Cadmium Thermabomb but when detonated, nothing would survive its power. Everyone made peace with making the ultimate sacrifice but it was just a prank by Platz. Confetti dropped on them and he cleared the smushed bug with water and a windshield wiper. Platz felt entitled to some fun since he had to haul them around. The bug's angry giant mother found the ship in space. No one believed Platz. She swallowed it whole. The ship computer Platz realized the bug's saliva was super acidic and ate through its shields at a rapid rate. Even at full throttle, the ship could not get free.
50% Chad came up with a half-baked idea to escape by popping a tooth. Folding Paper Man completed a giant paper version of the baby bug and launched into space. The bug teared up, hugged it, weeped, kissed it, and left with it. The crew cheered. Platz admitted he underestimated them and declared they were all right in his book then announced a celebration. He hugged them with robot arms and turned on the disco balls and music. There was a tapping on the glass. Starfire couldn't believe Platz ejected Tooth Fairy into space again. Platz didn't see what the problem was. For the Moon Flower mission, Platz offered his shuttle but instead of going to the Astro Market Freaky Face flew them to a dangerous planet. To make sure no one stole the shuttle, Freak bashed it to pieces with a pipe. Seven space days into the journey, Starfire's crew located the Celestial Sugar Crystal, the second rare item on her list. The crew took it literally and salivated over candy.
Folding Paper Man folded himself into a candy wrapped and got eaten by Freaky Face. He spit out in disgust, claiming Folding Paper Man tasted like garbage. Platz asked Starfire if she was sure she wanted to take those "geniuses" to the crystal with them. Starfire thought it would be fun. They went to the teleporter. Platz transferred to a mobile device worn like a necklace by Stafire. He admitted he was looking forward to working remotely. There was a teleporter incident and only Platz and the top halves of the crew were sent to the crystal. Mishaps continued. The engine's explosion triggered the Security Bot 5 to activate. Starfire revealed Platz installed it to protect the Ship from meat sacks. Freak pointed out they were meat sacks. Security Bot deemed them threats and tried to destroy them but they won it over to their side eventually. Some time later, the top halves and Platz were teleported back to The Ship with mined crystals.
While everyone knocked a tooth out to get five dollars from the Tooth Fairy, Freak felt bad and gave one of this teeth to 50% Chad and Platz. The next morning, Platz received payment in the form of digital currency. Tooth Fairy could never know their joy since her strong magic prevented her from losing her teeth. The crew tried various ideas in vain. Platz offered a simple solution: use the teleporter to isolate a tooth and beam the rest of her away. It worked. Starfire ordered Platz to teleport the Tooth Fairy out of space and back onboard. However, the loss of a tooth messed with her magic and turned Tooth Fairy into an enraged Tooth Monster. Platz guided them to the teleporter room so they could beam the tooth back into Tooth Fairy's mouth. It worked and she turned back to abnormal. Platz perched on 50% Chad while the crew searched for the lost city of Tamaran and defeated Blackfire with their wild card, Robin.
