Prog 2318: Hag Team!

[Magnetica]

Great Prog overall.

Maybe I missed it but I thought the Imperium destroyed the Obdurate home world by teleporting a white dwarf star into it -  in this week's episode it says the Scorchers  obliterated the Obdurate system. When was that revealed?

At the request of the Imperium, the Scorchers created the technology to teleport the star!

So I was hoping someone on the Forum would answer my question. I never thought it would be Mike Carroll himself. Just wow. Thanks for taking the time to do that - and so quickly as well.

You're welcome, Magnetica!

(Although to be honest, it wasn't that speedy a response! I'm actually writing these replies in August 2026 but because I'm set up as a moderator on the messageboard the system allows me to back-date my posts.)

The exact point when this was revealed was the second series "The Shadow Chancellor" prog 2221 the last page. The whole second series was basically the undercovering of war-crimes.

If that's the case, then maybe you can at last explain who exactly you meant when you said, "I will crush you all like insects!" at the 2025 Grammys.

No one has ever seen Mike Carroll and Morbo in the same room. Just sayin'...

Ah, I see where the misunderstanding lies... You mean, when I sang my Billboard-topping Country/Despot track "I Will Crush You All Like Insects"...

I Will Crush You All Like Insects
(Lyrics by Michael Carroll, music borrowed from "The Yellow Rose of Texas")

Oh, before I rose to pow-er, you all did worship me
But then I raised the taxes and restricted liberty
You tried to overthrow me but you could not manage it
I will crush you all like insects -- you are not worth my spit

Etc.

Bravo! Bravo! Magnificent!
