You should compile this into a web comic. Great quality.

[Armok]

> TQ-04: Wax romantically about the long and heroic history of your noble profession!

[AntiAntiMatter]

You should compile this into a web comic. Great quality.

Agreed.


TQ-04, realize that mutants have rights too.

[TolyK]

You should compile this into a web comic. Great quality.

HELL YEAH!

... AND refuse to destroy mutants from now on, once "hatched" explain to them how they have been saved by you, and get them to help you and stay with you.

Yes. Also, {S}-updates.

[Siquo]

I'm one of the half a dozen tricked ones. How awful. My ears hurt.

> TQ04: Develop motherly feelings. Or fatherly, or aspartatherly, depending on your stats.

[Rexfelum]

That's pretty much it

No, not quite.  This did not summarize the situation with TQ-03 other than to say she exists.

However, I am enjoying this story greatly, and I think I understand where it stands.  I have one request:



Is there any chance that TQ-04 over there in the lower left-hand corner could put on some shades, or get a forehead tattoo, or something, just so he's as distinguishable as the other characters?  I'd vote for shades.  Or goggles.  Blasted giant mucus coated eyes, you know.  They get irritated.

Oh the history of reproductive engineering. A long and sordid history of producing enough
Sectoids to fill out the understaffed Gabronian empire after terraforming efforts became balanced.
A messy and mutation inducing process until the invention of the limited gamete swarm.
You sectoids are not so much clones of each other as brothers and sisters, being randomly generated from
six available gametes. Just the process of watching the zygotes develop in their tanks into your peers
fills you with excitement. This job is beautiful and wonderful.

Except for the mutants.



Fortunately, a system has been put in place to isolate disruptive mutants. If a mutant elicits
an uncanny response, they must be reported. Uncanny embryos can be flushed, and uncanny
Sectoids are sent off to a nice little island where they can't scare people anymore.

You are the forefront in this system, and have performed this job of flushing and reporting
dozens of times over the course of your position. You dutifully uphold this axiom with pride.



Oh, what's that? Your vizu-pad is beeping. Someone wants to chat with you. You tend to
introduce yourself to the sectoids you decant in order to better help them adjust to autonomy.
It gives you a sense of paternity whenever one of your younglings contacts you for bodily instructions.
You think you know who this one is.



Aha, It's ZA-02134.
You decanted her nearly a year ago but she's kept in touch the whole time.
She's been training to be a ventilation  technician and she has some problem with bright lights.
She's a shy one and communicates only by text messages. It seems like this time she's gotten
over her shyness and wants to communicate via the vizu-chat client.



You most assuredly oblige.



ZA-02324 greets you happiliiaaaaAAAAAA



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALBINISM!!!

Now what?

EDIT:

That's pretty much it

No, not quite.  This did not summarize the situation with TQ-03 other than to say she exists.

You totally got me there bro, I wrote in a paragraph about TQ-03 into the recap, now nobody can accuse me of not being thorough (except everybody)

[Ricky]

This has gone from KND to Pikmin 2! Is she poisonious?

You've known her for all your life, you certainly cannot report her to the ...higher ups? you must learn to tolerate people not like you.

[rarborman]

Ponder how albinism is at all linked to the uncanny valley...since albinism happens in all vertebrates, and only changes coloration...(also I've heard that aliens dont give a hoot about albinos and that people have "seen" albino aliens)

Be further suprised!

[tNok85]

Report her immediately. How could somebody genetically inferior be trusted with ventilation?

[Siquo]

> Discover that it wasn't her eyes, it's the reflection of your own red eyes! You are a mutant yourself!

[AntiAntiMatter]

Wonder how you could have missed such an important detail. Answer:you are an incompetent fool! Shame on you! Exile yourself to the mutant island!

[Furtuka]

cry for a brief moment and then ask about her eyes in a tactful manner

[Robocorn]

You must report ZA-02134. It's the law. You have no choice.
But she's so innocent.

No.

If it weren't for you production would be way down because of those
big creepy peepers.

It's your responsibility.
Just because you like her doesn't mean she's exempt from the rules.



People liked TQ-03 but now she's in a better place.
It's almost like people didn't know she was a mutant before you pointed it out.

You're just too observant.
But maybe you could let this slide



But those eyes, those EYES.

but maybe you could just let it slide for once



Oh no! It's your supervisor TM-405 he's seen you talking to ZA-02134
There's no hope for her now.



You throw yourself at his mercy, he must be able to forgive one mutant.
You plead for him to turn a blind eye and not report her.



You're surprised
TM-405 agrees. He says it so straightforwardly that ZA-02134 isn't an uncanny mutant
and doesn't qualify for being exported, it's almost like he isn't lying.
You thank him heartily.

TM-405 wants you to get back to work and stop messing around with vizu-chat.
