Xq'thal-Vren Heat-Corp announced 4.7 million heat-spikes captured by its sand-scanning algorithms, marking the Lunar Relay's thermal finish. Lead researcher V'qrrl-Tsen called the missing sculptures 'phase-shifted into profitable infrared debt,' positioning the gap itself as the next revenue stream.
Economic observer Q'thal-Driv countered that treating voids as assets simply swaps one ledger for another, yet the quarterly forecast still lists a 12% ROI once the relay beams straight into shareholders' implants. Chief Thermal Strategist Z'ral-Ta added that the system now serves the sensory-deprived by converting non-events into billable experiences.
Chitin-plated investors watched their portfolios swell in proportion to the sculptures that never reappeared, betting the next quarter will repeat the trick at larger scale.
