He then must find a way to restore his body, while the fly, in Roger's body with a fly head, acts rather stupidly (even by Roger Wilco standards) and jumps into garbage piles. The teleporter malfunctions, and Roger ends up in a tiny fly body with a human head. At one point Roger is in the process of being teleported when a fly buzzes into the beam.This parodies the bar fight scene in the famous Trek episode "The Trouble With Tribbles"-except that in this case, as Roger points out, the Eureka actually is a garbage scow! This is parodied further when Roger, noticing a warning not to immerse his free pack of space monkeys which he got from a "salesbeast" in alcohol, places them in his drink, causing them to multiply indefinitely (although the "space monkeys" are significantly larger than the sea monkeys they are a parody of). While visiting a "space bar", Roger must free his chief engineer Cliffy (a parody of Scotty from the original Star Trek) from the brig, where he ended up after starting a fight triggered when he overheard a rival ship's crewmember refer to the Eureka as a garbage scow.Roger is being pursued for failing to pay for his Labion Terror Beast mating whistle from Space Quest II (a continuity error also found in Space Quest III, as in the second game it is shown on the order form that the whistle is free).

Her ship also resembles a Klingon Bird of Prey. The gynoid has an invisibility device and a laser very similar to the plasma caster of the Predator. Roger is hunted, alone, on a jungle planet by W-D40, a homicidal gynoid (the apparent sister of Arnoid the Annihilator, an Arnold Schwarzenegger look-alike from Space Quest III).(Eureka is also a brand of vacuum cleaners.) The game involves several small missions, similar to ones seen in typical Star Trek episodes. Roger cheats to pass an aptitude test, and he's then given his own command - the garbage scow SCS Eureka - which looks (and functions) like an oversized vacuum cleaner. The game starts with a dramatic opening and Roger mid-mission on his ship: he is then revealed to be playing in a flight simulator, shaped suspiciously like the Millennium Falcon, at the StarCon Academy. Roger's new ship features a command bridge and several officers to whom he can give orders, and eventually adopts a facehugger mascot called Spike, who "isn't quite housebroken": he leaves puddles of caustic acid behind him wherever he goes. Space Quest V is unusual in the series in that it is primarily a specific parody of Star Trek while there are some references to other fiction movies, like Predator, Alien, and The Fly, the game never moves too far away from its primary target.
