It's a Flunkle wedding! Note the song on the TV playing in the background. In case you haven't been exposed to Flunkles, the kids have created a Tinker Camp lore about a species of aliens who were saved by a space mission aboard the SS Turtle. I made a rule that they couldn't have pets aboard our ship, so they made up Flunkles to get around the rule--they were not pets, they were rescues. So, long story made short, after a total insurrection and protests, complete with signs!, Flunkles became a real part of Tinker Camp lore.
