The Plothole

Pan Post 55 sees Kim, the Powerplayer, throwing darts at a map of the Milky Way Galaxy to determine the next course of action for the High Empire in the galaxy. He first hits Jupiter but his flunky states that the planet no longer exists. He then hits the middle of space and he wants them to conquer it anyway - the High Empire's ships showing up and blasting a bunch of space yachts. His next dart hits themselves and Kim is intrigued at the idea of trying to conquer themselves but moves on and hits empty space again. The fleet arrives to blast the only space yacht that managed to limp away from the previous patch of empty space. The flunky asks if they will attack Coaleashion but he refuses until he hits it with a dart.

Darts? Drats![]

Procounsel Kim stands in front of a dart board with the Milky Way galaxy pictured across it, with a random flunky standing besides him. Kim throws a dart at the board.

Kim: "Let's conquer... Jupiter!"

flunky: "Sir, that planet has been blown up. It's a star now."

Kim: "Ah, well, can we conquer stars?"

flunky: "If thou wishes it, sir."

Kim: "Eh, I'll just throw another dart."

He does just that.

Kim: "There!"

flunky: "That's just empty space, sir. Nothing's there."

Kim: "Go conquer it anyway!"

flunky "Yes, sir."

Meanwhile, some lone space yacht gets pulverized by a million High Empire ships and their cannons

Kim: "How about there?"

flunky: "That's where we are, sir."

Kim: "oooo, conquering ourselves, now there's a challenge!"

flunky: "You will catch your own tail one of these days, sir."

Considering the challenge too great for the day, Kim throws more darts.

Kim: "Aaaaaand that spot!"

flunky: "That's empty space again sir."

Kim: "...."

flunky: "I'll order the ships there immediately."

Kim: :3

Meanwhile, the lone yacht that managed to limp away before gets hammered by another million High Empire ships and cannons once more.

flunky: "Should I have them send out ships to the Coaleashion now, sir?"

Kim: "Not until I hit it with a dart!"

flunky: "To do so clearly without your powerplaying ways inspires me, sir."

Kim: "What are you--I mean, yes, without my powerplaying....of course... I'll pick the yellow darts this time!"

flunky: "Very good, sir."
