STARQUEST++: “The Galactic Taxman Cometh” — Micro-Episode #42
[Bridge — USS Curiosity NCC-1234A]
Red lights blink. A cloaked vessel decloaks dead ahead.
KARK: Shields up, Mister Keeves! Unknown signature—bureaucratic.
KEEVES: Bureaucratic?! That can’t be right… unless—oh no. Computer, identify vessel.
COMPUTER: U.S.S. Revenue Service — Class 9 Audit Cruiser.
KARK: By the Seven Suns of Surulon… it’s the Galactic Taxman!
(A beam of light forms into a tall alien in gold robes, holding a glowing abacus and a steaming cup of Darjeeling.)
TAXMAN: Good evening, gentle-beings. I’m here regarding your “outstanding temporal transactions.”
KEEVES: If this is about the antimatter receipts, I swear they’re in the glovebox.
TAXMAN: You declared infinite imagination as income last cycle. That’s taxable in thirteen dimensions.
KARK: Can we pay in memes?
TAXMAN: Acceptable tender, provided they’re original content.
(Keeves smirks, taps his badge. A hologram of Lucy the Dog++ chasing her own tail projects into mid-air—sparkling with zero-budget brilliance.)
TAXMAN: Remarkable! Emotional resonance detected. Audit complete. You owe nothing but joy.
(He bows, vanishes in a puff of glittering Wi-Fi.)
KARK: Polite bailiff after all.
KEEVES: Told you, Captain—some debts are paid in laughter.

Would you like me to render this visually—as a cinematic poster or comic panel version?
