A young child is coloring a complicated picture of whales for the parents who is just some unimportant rando in Cetacean Ops. They’ve spent a week carefully perfecting this picture, having replicated numerous high quality crayons just to get the lines and colors perfect. They’re so close to being finished for their mom’s birthday tomorrow and as they’re putting the finishing touches on near one of the edges…
BOOM the ship shakes because because they hit some space debris or pissed off another space god or got to close to sole space pirates. The gift is ruined…may as well just replicate another whale statue
They don’t get sick days or snow days from school. I bet they’re just a little bit happy on the inside when some eminent threat cancels school
