"I think Jupiter would be a rather large pie. I agree with this proposition."

"Though. Is this too ambitious? From the moon to a gas giant?"

With a fluffier material, we can make a fluffier pie.....

French Silk or Lemon Meringue perhaps?

Ah, but you are using that "or" as if it can only be one or the other...

We do have multiple gas giants..... near infinite if we look beyond the solar system

"What if we made a pie that was French Meringue, Lemon Silk, and basalt, all put together?"

@Shining Silhouette I declare this to be an incredible selection of symphonies!

Like a 1/3rd of each or all mixed?

[Lord Gregorio he/him]

"That sounds like an excellent proposition, companion! A perfect combination of sweet and earthy, crunchy and smooth. Should be a delectable treat!"

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

"Wait wait wait hold up.

"All these things you're talking about turning into pies are beautiful, incredible, intricate worlds with unimaginable histories and natural systems! You can't just go destroy them all by turning them into edible matter to facilitate your hubris or hunger or what have you!"

"Why not?"

"Besides, there are probably infinite universes where we don't do that"

"The moon is thus far unpopulated - before we turned it into a pie, it had been made of cheese and rocks. We improved the moon! And now we shall improve the entire solar system! FOR THE PIES!!!

"And he who makes the best pie becomes LORD OF THE PIES. We shall CONQUER this universe with the power of BAKING!!"

[Wittles he/him]

One pie to rule them all...

[Telrao she/her]

One pie to find them...

[Lord Gregorio he/him]

"As logistics master. I...I don't know I logistically am raging at the science behind changing jupiter into a pie. At the same time. It's a freaking pie!"

[Cash67]

"We abandoned science the moment we introduced hemalurgy into our delectable creations"

*burns duralumin*

*is sad again*

"But Logistics master, how will we turn Jupiter into a pie? That is the question we should be asking....

Because I believe that we will turn Jupiter into a delightfully sour crunchy chocolate pie!!!"

[Wittles he/him]

One pie to bring them all and in the darkness bind them

[Lord Gregorio he/him]

Create a giant angry bird slingshot. Or! We could pie Mars with a moon pie! OOOHHH. We could turn a planet into a pie and then pie another planet.

[Telrao she/her]

In Space-dor where the shadows pie!

"You-you can't just-

"What about all the scientists? What will they study? What will drive humanity towards the stars?

"Where's the stopping point? When are you going to give up on this monstrous plan?"

“As the president, I will respond to these questions with a point by point memo”

“Scientists become food scientists

They will study pie

They will be driven by the desire for more pie

Bold if you to assume there is a stopping point….

Also bold to assume the MPI would do something like ‘give up’”

*looks at Bookwyrm with wide, sad eyes.* "Bookwyrm. Beauty is meaningless. Though, if you must assign it a meaning, wouldn't you say that life is the most beautiful thing? People are dying right now from not enough food, and you're trying to stop us from solving this because planets are pretty and cool? You can try to stop us. But we will help. I will help. Do you know what starvation is like? The closing of your stomach within itself, the dryness of your throat, and the unspeakable horror of knowing that you've been reduced to nothing and that you will do anything to get food. You feel your inevitable doom by your side always, the most loyal companion of all. I do not wish anyone to suffer this fate."

Bookwyrm stared at Symphonian flatly.

"Starvation? That's the best excuse you could come up with? If you really cared about these people, you'd be cultivating stable, nutritious food sources. You'd work on economy and biology. I recommend Entomophagy; if we switch to eating bugs as a staple food source, we could create a stable food source, help slow climate change, and further a stable system. And it would be far easier to do that then it would be to turn entire worlds into pies. And what happens when you decide to turn our own world into pie? What then? How many deaths will you cause?"

"There's always a choice. If you were trying to make your own pie in an empty orbit around a distant, planetless star, that would be okay. As long as you aren't strip mining entire planets to do so. But this? No. I cannot allow such destruction."

Bookwyrm pulled out a phone and dialed NASA.

"Our worst fears have come to pass," he said. "Initiate the response project. Be ready to call the reinforcements."

[Cash67]

*my phone rings as you call NASA*
 

You hear my voice coming from me and echoing on the phone 

“Of course, we will initiate the emergency response plan immediately.”

*hangs up, without breaking eye contadt*
 

“You have forgotten that the USA government and all of the USA’s Allies’ governments have been baked. There is no one here who will listen to your cause.”

*dials new number in phone*

” @Aes Sedai would you and your special forces come arrest this traitor immediately?”

“You probably have 10 minutes to leave the compound before they show up. This should be interesting…”

*sits down and smiles, amused for what is about to happen*

[Edema Rue she/her]

*snorts* “10 minutes. I’m already here. Honestly, such a low opinion you have of me.”

*arrests traitor*
