Kalmin doesn't have the firmest grasp on workplace safety, though. Entirely appropriate for an omnicidal genius inventor, of course. Still, I expect Tad is taking all suitable precautions to delay the inevitable explosions...
Very sensible. I wonder if Kalmin feels slighted by that caution?
Probably not, I suppose, since he'd have personally challenged the project leads if he had any complaints...Because he'd probably realised any significant change to their designs would have come from somewhere. Of course, there's a difference between copying.. and inspiration.
Inspiration, OL. Seeing a slightly different way of doing.. whatever it does.. should give him a few ideas.
...Invent novel FTL? You made protective cages to allow you to ride along on someone else's method.
"It still counts!"
You know he almost certainly has. No need to dance around the question...
He says it like it's a point of pride. I don't think he's interested...
Unless he's going for some manner of achievement checklist, I doubt he plans that far ahead...
To be fair, some laws are a little... odd. Mostly the little local laws that get put down on the books for one specific case, and no-one ever bother to enforce. But I get the feeling Tad doesn't mean those sort of laws...
"Well, that sounds like a boring way to live."
Unfortunately, some people just aren't wired that way... The social outcasts, the habitual offenders, the oddballs and freaks that everyone else just find 'wrong'...
Hmm? Has Kalmin turned up? Brace for explosions, lads, ladies and everyone in-between.
Ah, the graduates Kalmin and OL picked up during that little 'heresy' breakout a couple of episodes back. I see they're settling on fine.
...Oh, boy. I can already get an idea of where this is going...
They're either going to fall in love at first sight...
...Or try to kill each other. Then again, Who knows how Qwardian romance works?
Oh, don't worry, OL. I'm sure they'll be fine.
...I can't even picture how that would work. I can't imagine how seeing it in person must be. It sounds like God's own Photoshop toolset...
"Please don't tell me this is 'Kalmin'? I was expecting better..."
To be fair, when most of your friends on Earth consider tight faux-leather materials in bright colours to be 'defensive equipment', your scale can get a little skewed. At least until they get smacked around by a bad guy and accept the upgrades offered.
Handy. A whole armoury at her fingertips? And in the fingertips too.
To be fair, I doubt even Solomon could recognise some of the crimes against science that fill your labs. Even if he'd done some reading on modern discoveries.
...How old are you, again? Also, being the smartest human doesn't count for much when you're one of three present.True, that is a sensible idea. After all, you might feel nostalgic, or have a moment of realisation about some other conundrum while poking at it. I mean, even Kalmin might have moments when he's stuck on some new death ray, goes to have a think about it while fiddling with an old fancy and goes, "Ah-ha!"
Also, as a wargaming enthusiast, I still have my oldest painted models in a box. Stuff painted without undercoat, or sprayed from a chrome rattle-can because teen me though it 'looked cool'...
What, and these days, you recycle failures? Admirable, but where's the sense of history?
Well, at least we're getting Explosions.
Oh, stop flirting and kiss, you too! Honestly, children!
Okay, we have Explosions. Now for the Science! Seriously, does anyone else get the feeling by the time we cut back tomorrow, they'll be closer to flirting about their weapons designs than actually trying to kill each other? Because this feels like the most violent form of a 'Meet-Cute' I've ever seen...
Double Space.
