Vice President Bob Goreflax Responds to Controversy
The people of SnaxMixz Earth 1 were in upheaval over the recent controversy surrounding Vice President Bob Goreflax and his alleged as well as varied missuses of an ancient universal series bus III. The question on everyone’s mind? Where exactly did the VP insert this unfortunate USB? and why in the name of SnaxMixz would he do so in the first place? The Beeble Beer Beverage Company White House (TRI-B House for short) immediately called an emergency press conference.
Reporters stood in awe as VP Goreflax, in blatant disregard, uttered the words “My scandals aren’t leaked – They’re Monetized”. Considering the backlash caused by his pump and dump alt coin 1010, then selling all user data to sworn enemy planet MixzSnackz Arilon 1 (formerly known as Venus), this was outrageous.
To make matters worse, Arilon Prime Minister Klognoron IIII said in a press release “Better to be a data broker than data broke”… well played miss, well played.
The Incorrigible Gerald Gratz: Space Mechanic Numerist
Gerald Gratz isn’t the kind of guy you want to spend much time around. He also isn’t someone you want working on your late model Ferdinand Space Duster: Model 6 – especially the Model 7. But if you bust a diode modulator in a Ponto Speedfreight II in his neck of the stroiderhood, your in luck – for the right amount of Dooblux of course.
Gerald couldn’t possibly care less about the happenings on SnaxMixz Earth 1, but he certainly isn’t happy with certain digits. A proper Numerist this one, hates even the thought of them, let alone having one as his neighbor.
A common numerist insult used widely around the SnapOff Universe 1.0. But in the end, there isn’t much he can do to his imaginary neighbors – they just don’t add up.
Spacegloss and Layroukus
Zorflow, a far out mammal relative from the planet Flow-X 9, was known well by his shipmate and captain Sgt Layroukus (Lay for short). The two had met during the battle of Blanco 26. Back then Lay was as straight as they came.
Sent into to take back a pivotal moon base operated by Blanco Cereal Products when 26 was still known as a submoon of Titania (now Tita Energy 7), the two would meet when Zorflow unwittingly stole a Blanco battle fatigue. This resulted in his recruitment by the sergeant during a skirmish in which he became gravely injured. It was then that Zorflow introduced him to the joys of spacegloss.
A common occurrence. Though this was the first time since Lay installed an AI microchip to better pilot the heap of junk they bought off Gratz the disgruntled mechanic after the last jump. They named her Primeita after the late AI actress whom perished in an unfortunate BBQ accident destroying her chip.
Little did Zorflow know when he spaceglossed Pimeita she would return the favor by downloading a synthesized experience and mainline it straight into Lay’s head. Oh well, he’ll most likely get through it… or will he?
That’s what we got for this week on Imaginary Neighbors. Will Lay ever come back down to SnaxMixz Earth 1 after Pimeita’s new download? Is Mister Grats going to get his florpo hose connector from his insufferable integer neighbors? Find out next week in Issue #2!
