"We're going to build a new ship." They had decided.
The old ship was a big mess. The drive systems were extremely dangerous. The windows had a large scratch. We should just bulldoze the old ship and build a new Dart Class ship, the "Quattro".
The architects had the experience, what they didn't have was the money. Where in the world
would they get the money for this?
Finally, one of their business competitors found an idea, absurd as that source may have been. They should start with the holy cardinal. The cardinal was a hairy outlandish one, that probably didn't know the law.
"Money? I'll fix you up with the money, on three conditions. First, you have to spend several weeks of mantra optimizing under my supervision."
"What?"
"I want to underscore the strategic reason for this. Using this standard mantra, under my supervision, you will introduce a new axiom. What can be, will be."
"Second, you have to reuse this rendering of the Holy Pyramid. The project is doomed without this on it."
I had supposed there were problems with the cardinal. It occured to them that the cardinal had carefully grown a teddy bear from little hairs completely made from stuff found on bugs. This new knowledge was ugly.
"Third, the whole ship has to function from the existing base."
These demands made little sense, but they didn't react. In the middle of the work, one of the features of the new ship shot over the garage and made a major bang. This mistake stopped the project for three years. Finally, the new ship was released, called "Lucky".
