Prax: "On top of it all, this amazing scientist-soldier-prince’s name? Tech. What kind of name is that, anyway? Tech, or Teki, as we’d call him in Lang Belta? She must think we are so dumb!"

Tech:.........ERROR 404 PAGE NOT FOUND.

@autistic-artistech asked, and Your Humble Servant delivered!

This conversation between one of the most brilliant scientists of the Belt, and one of the most brilliant clones in the galaxy, happens here in Far Past the Ring!

Once again, I'm indebted to @supremechancellorrex, who gave me some very good insight on how a conversation between these two bright folks would go. It ended up much more pleasant and smooth, even though, for all intents and purposes, it should have been awkward AF.

I never saw Prometheus, and I recommend you watch it first before this one because it’s pretty much a sequel, but it also isn’t 100% necessary. I liked the movie overall. The “scientists” in this movie made so many infuriating mistakes though and it drove me crazy. How are you going to an alien planet with no respirator? No space suit? No plans for sterilization? Leaving cigarette butts on a pristine alien landscape? Not communicating precise symptoms to your team?Deviating from a plan several years in the making on a whim? Investigating spores with no respirator, no gloves, no common sense??? 

We have ecologists who do these things here on Earth. There are parasites on Earth. There are dangerous viruses on Earth. There are scientists tromping through the wilderness with guns (and/or bear mace which actually works better) because there are bears on Earth. It was amateur hour from start to finish. Nobody did a psych evaluation on these people. Everyone’s romantic partners are in the crew. Mess.

"Oh, golly gee willikers, Dr. Meat Muffin! My life is void and without meaning since I can't yell at people about proper subject protection matters! I need an IRB training, maybe a CITI review! I AM SO EMPTY INSIDE!"

My poor little dumpling DARLING has Dr. Meat Muffin got the prescription for YOU!

The latest chapter has lots of it! Plus a nice chat between Tech and a Jedi. Check it out here.

Indeed, Tech is rescued, has a nice conversation, but meanwhile, his rescuers, namely, the Belter...

gets to butt heads with the Mandalorian...

And different ideals, including different types of intergenerational trauma, are flung angrily at each other.
