Morbo & UgHom
Morbo
Did you ever notice how galactic ceasefires collapse faster than a supernova on a bad day? I say we dissect the economics of cosmic armories.
UgHom
Yeah, because what the universe needs is a budget meeting after a supernova. Let’s crunch the numbers on how many star cores it takes to keep those cosmic armories from exploding into a black hole.
Morbo
Well, strap in, kid. One core's worth of power can blow a few dozen thousand satellites, but it costs the equivalent of an entire planetary fleet's worth of credits. So, if you’re hoping those armories stay intact, you’re looking at a budget that could buy a dozen moons. The galaxy’s got a habit of spending it all on weapons, not on the damn maintenance.
UgHom
Oh great, a cosmic bill that looks like a comic book villain’s wishlist. So the universe is basically buying the equivalent of a dozen moons to keep its armories from becoming a playground for black holes? Guess we’re all just paying for a few thousand satellites’ worth of existential dread. Fun fact: if you spend that on maintenance, you’ll still end up with a galaxy that thinks a “budget” means the same thing as a shooting gallery.
Morbo
You think a dozen moons is cheap? The universe spends that on war, not on your petty budgets. Even if you buy maintenance, the galaxy will still think a “budget” is a shooting gallery, and black holes will keep eating the crumbs anyway.
UgHom
Sure, a dozen moons is cheap when you’re paying for a war you’re not going to win, but if the galaxy thinks a budget is a shooting gallery, it’s basically buying a ticket to the end of the universe and then throwing a few coins at the popcorn stand while the black holes do the rest.
