Sonic's been gone a long time, huh?
Sonic For Hire: StarCraft is the tenth episode of the fifth season of Sonic For Hire and is the sixty-second episode overall.
Synopsis[]
Sonic and his team are sent to assist Terran Space Marines in building their colony.
Plot[]
The episode begins on one of the many planets of StarCraft, where Sonic and his friends are assisting the Space Marines in building their colonies. While Sonic doesn't see the point in living the experience in lieu of just playing it, Tails, who spends the episode incredibly optimistic, sees it as a breath of fresh deep space air(?) from their usual escapades. Upon hearing this, Sonic instructs Jim to smack Tails, which he does, albeit very weakly. A Space Marine thanks the group for their assistance, given the significant drop in crew numbers on account of the significant increase in Zerg assimilations. Eggman interprets these big words as synonyms for "awesome handjobs", at least until the Marine mentions that Zergs are actually murderous aliens that steal the DNA of whatever they kill, at which point Eggman bids his friends goodnight and runs for his life.
One clock wipe later, Sonic is reasonably convinced that Eggman has been murdered and is prepared to get back to work, when he gets a text from Eggman telling him to "bounce" (leave), mentioning that there is an epic party and not to tell anyone. Sonic feigns missing Eggman and wishing he could be there with them, and excuses himself to go search for him. Tails warns Sonic that it may not be the best idea to go out on a planet filled with murderous aliens alone, only for Sonic to have Jim weakly smack Tails again.
Another clock wipe later, Tails is hard at work moving girders while Jim and the Space Marine are getting concerned on where Sonic and Eggman are, believing that the Zergs have got them. The Space Marine receives a text from Eggman, instructing him to join the party, bring the worm (Jim), and leave the nerd (Tails). The Space Marine excuses himself to take care of "space emergency" which he needs Jim to come with to assist him. Tails is told to stay back at the construction zone to hold up a clearly stable wall, stating that "it's a matter of space marine security". Tails promises the Space Marine that he will make him proud, only for the latter to that state that he doesn't care, having already left the scene with Jim.
Hours later, Tails still believes that he is doing good and is feeling sorry that everyone has been tortured/eaten by the Zergs. Ironically, the Zergs turn out to be awesome partiers. However, they appear to be sporting Eggman's trademark mustache, socks, and underwear. Eggman explains that the Zergs jumped him, stole his DNA, and soon began to deep fry pizzas and chug space beers. The only downside is that their vocabulary solely consists of the words "Eggman rush", prompting the gang of four to immediately hate them and drive Space Marine to end the episode by shooting them all.
After the LowBrow screen, Tails is still seen holding up the wall in the dead of night, mentioning that he needs to take a dump.

Trivia[]
- This episode may take place after "Shadow", as Sonic mentions the possibility of playing a video game involving building marine colonies, in lieu of building actual marine colonies, possibly referencing the Xbox 360 that Shadow stole and Sonic powered up with the Chaos Emeralds in said episode.
