Drabble Contest: A Problem with the Planets

Finally, a meme I can get on with!

All was quiet on a chilly Thursday afternoon,
save for the peaceful hum of hard-disks
and the comforting glow of TFT monitors.
You could say it was a day like any other day...
Quite suddenly, there was a commotion!
"There's a problem with the planets!", screamed a developer,
"Recently, there's been nothing but pointless memes!"
"...and bickering over version control systems!" someone chimed in.
A voice queried, "What can we do to recover from this situation?"
An answer came from the blackness;
"Absolutely nothing, it's gone past the point of no return".
All present lowered their heads in shame.

Somehow this reminds me of Stanisław Lem...

I would have replaced the last "heads" word by "hackergotchies"... (but still my current favourite in this contest)
