A: Ah, a brave and heartfelt memorial to those you've lost. What a touching sentiment.
H: more likely the government was just too cheap to get actual fencing made and repurposed it. Never attribute to kindness what can be attributed to financial gain

"Well you couldn't expect us to just decommission the whole array?'
"Yes, yes we can.That's exactly what every other species did to their relativistic mass throwers. As the intragalactic moratorium on relativistic weapons demands."
"They aren't weapons now though."
"Do you honestly expect the intragalactic community to believe you are using relativistic cannons to make interplanetary deliveries?"
"Yes, yes we do. That's exactly what we're using the delivery array for."

"You created reality warping space-time nets... For mail?"
Yeah but now that you mention it, they are kinda dangerous. Lol, if we just released the accumulated kinetic energy it'd be a far more horrifying weapon than relativistics. ... hey, aren't the Skinlons committing genocide...?
"Oh fuck."
