How would they reprint an expendable? Is jimmy human?
The reprinting and expendable stuff is based off the Mickey 17/Mickey 7 movie/book!
In it, the main character is human and signs up to be an āexpendableā to secure passage off earth in a big ship because he doesnāt have any other skills to get him on there. They basically take a physical āsnapshotā of him and all his memories and then his specific body is the only one coded to be reprinted with a sort of high tech 3D printer thing!
They use him to test things to get vaccines made, send him on dangerous missions, etc, and every time he dies they just print him out again and off he goes!!
In the movie there was also a doppelgƤnger angle where they THOUGHT heād died but he actually didnāt and they reprinted a new guy only to find out the OG was still there! And then plot and story ensued etc etc
Iām not going to be using anything much else from the movie besides Jimmy being an expendable and being reprinted only to die again!
He thinks itās a big honor and is happy to do it, even though his deaths are full of suffering a lot of times. But in his mind heās a hero because his suffering prevents OTHER people from suffering.
Unfortunately though, he turns a blind eye to the way heās treated more like a dishrag than a hero, but Tango is picking up on it and itās becoming hard to ignore.
ANYWAYS hereās some drawings of Jimmy I did over Mickey screenshots to play around with his printing stuff! They fit him with a collar before they let him go which monitors his vitals for research purposes but is also a kill switch if they need to terminate a Jimmy run early š
