"If the universe is a big school, the humans are eating the chalk" -they said
But there he is.
In this grand universe, there stands only one force between order and absolute chaos, the Justers, the protectors of justice throughout the cosmos. Their headquarters policing almost all galaxies with active civilization.
And look who was able to scurry his way into this grand organization.
He made it! Hister a HUMAN has joined the Justers Data filling Unit ! (As an unpaid intern). Stepping into the office, he sees multiple Juster officers, coming tiredly after who knows what? Maybe they just caught a psychopath causing terror throughout the cosmos!?
On Hister's usually gloomy face, stood a subtle smile. As he marched into the office, with an eiffel tower of paperwork. Although his job isn't as exciting as the others, he still took it very seriously. He took great pleasure in doing whatever little he could to help out. And who knows? Maybe soon he'll get to venture onto an actual Juster mission? He in fact recently was given a gun! An actual space pistol! OMI gosh! This is it, his golden period has finally begun, all the late night study sessions to crack the Juster's hiring exams finally paid off. But as he walked in, most of the other officers glared at Hister not with welcoming eyes, but with doubt.
Disgust.
Some were subtle about it,
Others were not.
"Look, they gave him a gun…"
Whispered a purple faced man-cat.
These stares are to be expected.
In outer space humans are considered to be neither smart nor reliable, their behaviour is as unpredictable as animals. And like any wild animal, even if they're dumb, sometimes that can be the most lethal. Giving a human a weapon would be like giving a monkey a knife. Who knows what will happen?
Hister, completely oblivious to these doubting stares, mistook them for a need of a greeting. Waving his hand, his subtle smile turned bigger.
"Hello!" he chirped at Mr Frank.
Mr Frank quickly looked away.
Hister stood at the average height of 6 '7, although this is considered very tall on earth, Hister was still shorter than most of his co-workers. Because of which, Hister is the office's funniest joke. But that never seemed to bother him, cause most of the time he missed the punchline. But this isn't a story about office banter, oh no.
This is the tale of how this poor guy on one unfortunate day, stumbles upon the Justers secret plans to conquer the universe. Breathless and scared, a blue bird clutched between his tiny human hands, he becomes the universe's last hope. Shaken with panic, in minutes the Justers declare him a threat to the world order, wanted across the universe. From veteran officers to skilled bounty hunters, all running after one shared goal of passing a bullet through his skull.
