The Quantum Blender docked beside a crystal moon shaped like indecision. Bazook stepped out, flanked by Carlton Zorp (holding three umbrellas for unknown reasons) and Deborah 7.1 (projecting passive-aggressive emojis). Their destination: The Galactic Hall of Screaming Mirrors—a tribunal that judged not actions, but emotional inconsistency.
The architecture was a crime against subtlety: infinite hallways of sentient glass, each mirror shrieking Bazook's inner fears at various decibels. One shouted, "You never learned the piano!" Another whispered, "That time you ate all the pickles… they remember."
Bazook was summoned to the Reflection Dock™, a literal stage where his psyche was cross-examined by his own distorted clones—each version dressed slightly worse than the last. Bazook Beta wore glitter suspenders. Bazook Omega wept silently into a pillow labeled 'Regret.'
Carlton attempted to testify in Bazook's defense, presenting a slideshow titled "Captain Through the Ages: The Ups, the Downs, the Questionable Socks." Deborah objected on grounds of emotional bias. The mirrors agreed. Carlton was briefly trapped inside his own reflection, where he met a version of himself that only spoke in song lyrics and liked raisins.
Then Vicki the Croissant burst in, disguised as a motivational poster titled "Crumb and Let Cry." She whispered tactical bakery advice and sabotaged the Emotional Echo Amplifier™—causing all mirrors to scream compliments instead. Bazook cried as one shouted, "Your leadership is marinated in nuance!"
Eventually, Bazook stood before the Final Mirror: one that showed nothing but silence. No words. No distortions. Just quiet. He whispered, "I'm tired." The mirror winked.
Bazook exits the tribunal carrying a legal scroll titled "Subject: Acceptable Amounts of Self-Loathing." Carlton hugs his reflection. Deborah uploads mirror memes. Vicki eats half the hallway and escapes.
A message appears on-screen: "Reflection accepted. Trial adjourned. Continue spiraling."
Bazook mutters, "I object to everything." The hall applauds.
