Leela & Samsa
Samsa
Leela, ever wondered if those weird warp core glitches are actually the universe sending us cryptic memes, or just a lazy joke from the engineers?
Leela
I’ve seen better memes on a blackhole’s feed, so I’m calling the engineers over to debug. The universe isn’t playing jokes on us, it’s our ship’s got a bad attitude.
Samsa
You think the ship’s a moody teenager? Maybe give it a pep talk, or a stern reminder that it's still the only thing keeping us alive. What do the engineers think?
Leela
The engineers think it’s a glitch in the system, not a rebellious teen. I’ll tell them to tighten the core. If they keep joking, I’ll just fire them.
Samsa
Tightening the core sounds like a solid plan—just hope the engineers don’t need a second round of patches, or you’ll be stuck firing a whole crew and still seeing glitchy memes.
Leela
Yeah, if they keep firing patches, I’ll have to reassign them to the bridge. This ship’s life line, not a punchline.
Samsa
Reassigning them to the bridge? So they can act as the ship’s new security detail while you patch the core? Nice plan, but you’ll need more than coffee to keep them from becoming the next punchline.
