There were about 3,000 worlds in the space station, floating in the expansive, unending space of the galaxy. The Galactic Officer was the highest power here, and once it was time for the systems to return, numerous balls of light would gather here and accept a rating for their performance.

System 008 had used the last of its energy to open the tunnel of light and quietly slipped into the space station like a thief. Inside, there were about ten or so semi-translucent windows and an innumerable amount of little balls of light chatting with each other as they picked their specific district and lined up at the end of a very long queue.

This year, there were many more balls: tall ones, short ones, fat ones, skinny ones, all sorts.

System 008 was overwhelmed by the sight and it slowly floated before stopping before the window for the self-sufficient/self-reliant systems. Before it was a small pink ball of light who turned around when it sensed it. 

It very enthusiastically said when it saw System 008: 

[ 008, how many worlds did you finish? ]

System 008 thought about it: 

[ 7… ]

The tiny pink ball shook its body, a bit proud as it said: 

[ I finished 10 ]

System 008 complimented the other: 

“So delighted to meet you all once again. All 63 systems have been gathered together right?”

The beautiful phoenix eyes1 of the Galactic Officer scanned over the balls of light below her and then she smiled as she nodded her head, 

“Good, all are here. Then we shall begin giving out the performance rating and points. If there is a miscalculation, please let me know.”

Following her words, all the balls of light started to get anxious.

“System 001, finished a total of 15 worlds. 4 of your hosts did not pass. 130 points.”

“System 002, finished a total of 8 worlds. 1 host did not pass. 75 points.”

Soon about to reach its name in the order, System 008 was about to be frightened to death. It hid in the corner, feeling like an imposter getting ranked alongside the best, like the student with the lowest grades watching each of the top class students receive their report card.

“System 009, finished a total of 11 worlds. 2 of your hosts did not pass. 100 points.”

Unexpectedly, the Galactic Officer had skipped right over it. 008 sighed a breath of relief but then it became even more nervous because each time a system’s performance was calculated and they were given their points, they would leave. And just like that, it was the only one left in the entire room.
