Cat: A nuclear lab isn’t even in the right field to make human-animal hybrids.

Cat: Sorry, we’d rather keep our hand.

Just: I am a specific process running on our brain.

Luci: We’re going to get a non-plural family member to sit for a few minutes with the EEG on them to get a comparison.

Madeline: I haven’t encountered any (that I know of), so cannot answer this question.

Madeline: Though I would be quite interested in what ANYONE would stand to gain from lying about the shape of the world. I’d really want to dissect those motives.

Madeline: To be clear, I want them to come back reasonably intact. I don’t want them dead, I want to shatter their worldview.

Cat: Yeah, don’t give Meta a single inch. They need to GTFO.

Cat: Sure? But in the morning, we’re sleepy rn.

Madeline: Plural communities tend to be a high-profile target for various flavors of asshole, is the problem.

Cat: waves
