Skart's Bad Day

4,75 stars

This is a hilarious birthday spent with the young daughter of a powerful man whom most fear or want something from. No one has time to celebrate the birthday during space conflicts, ahah so Strak (not human) gets the job. He is so sweet, he makes her day perfect. A test of loyalty, because birthday celebrations are the best and worthy. Making time for our kids and treasuring each time vs work and work. A little girl's day taught him a valuable lesson.

Go home if it has been too long.

Strak is a run-of-the-mill Orcus Empire recruit whose days are filled with following orders, patrolling corridors, and stamping papers. When he’s captured by the most-wanted space pirate in the galaxy, he assumes (quite logically) that the end is nigh. Instead, he finds himself…spearheading a birthday celebration for said space-pirate’s 12-year old daughter?

As the two of them build sand castles on Vegraturn III, overload on chocolate at Sugar Rush, and conquer arcade games on Cadus X9O, Strak rediscovers something that’s been missing from his life: fun.

Now, all that’s left to do is to bring her back to her father by 16:00 Universal Time… or else.
