A single-panel comic. A bearded man with glasses in a red shirt talks to a woman with green hair, glasses, and a light blue shirt reading 'THE DEATH STAR WAS AN INSIDE JOB.' The man says, 'What if we made a point system to tell citizens how well they're doing?' The woman asks, 'Won't that be dehumanizing?' The man replies, 'Hmmm... let's add a point system for humanizing.' The woman responds, 'There we go!' A caption beneath reads: 'Everyone likes technocracy until they hear engineers chatting.' Votey: a close-up of the smiling woman saying, 'We'll make it base-12 for simplicity.'
