gollark: Perhaps they would have done this if they had ever entered operation. However, as of now they are merely inert hexahedra contained at GTech™ Hyperbolic Site-6906.
gollark: Those were, as I said, neutralized on arrival. We were able to prove that *those* were the empty set, so they obviously can't do anything.
