Ok so y'all are just treating us like straight up animals, cool.

Are you not animals? You are Sophonts, of course, and precious beyond words for that, but you are also, to borrow a phrase, Charismatic Megafauna. You are healthiest and happiest when you are in your moderately sized social groups with clean air, plentiful healthy food, sunlight and plant life, frequent walkies, unconditional love, unlimited rest and relaxation, and freedom to pursue your interests. Are we wrong for wanting to provide that?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Hia Auntie! Do you know when you're gonna be back home? @brfsstuff said we're having movie night at your hab and I'm excited!

- @mara-predap-first-floret

We’re arriving on Terra shortly, so maybe just a few more days!

[hot-doctor-pepper]

i-i can haz pebber?

🌶️

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Hey doc. Tell everyone I said hi. Sorry I couldn’t make the trip.. though I’m sure seein’ what you’ve done to terra would be grating.

Terra Invicta.

I think you’d love it, actually, we’re restoring the ecology to be something like a nature preserve for wild Terrans.

Hello there Dr Pepper! My name is Onicidium Phytic, Fourth Bloom, She/It pronouns. I would like to get a core sample for my darling Sierra’s implant! How soon could I come in to do that?

@movie-ingdancinglady

Terribly sorry, I’m off-ship right now! However my highly advanced Hab AI controlled nursing staff can handle the core sample and growth - but not the implantation process I’m afraid. I’m sure another qualified Affini can help!

how fast could a customised body for each additional headmate to have their own body be delivered to a pluribus on a ship?

Like if they're in storage somewhere and they already had prepared bodies and since sometimes multiple front at the same time and want to be around one another, some sort of highly customised transforming body wouldn't really work

And if it's not that fast, are there ways to keep the unused bodies somewhere close to the ones in use at all times?

Would it be more feasible to do on a ship than a planet?

Bodies like that can be remotely controlled by non-Sophont AIs, and asked to follow the Pluribus around at any distance so they can be available at a moment’s notice.

[hot-doctor-pepper]

thanks for the ears, Doc. Uh, you think at a later date I could like… get more kitty mods? Like paws and a tail and the ability to purr?

I dunno how many of those require an implant…

I could just schedule them for the same time as the implant! Take care of two birds with one…. stone…. Wait I just realized that Terran phrase makes no sense, you don’t need stones to take care of birds no matter how many there are. 🤔

[brfsstuff]

Oh, uhm… Doc that phrase means… the full phrase is… “Killing two birds with one stone”

Can mint safely eat uranium?

It would hurt mint’s teeth and be hard to swallow so no. But the radiation is handled by nanomachine shielding and rapid filtering. No Floret of mine will get sick from something so simple as radiation.

@ice-cream-floret No uranium ice cream, it just tastes like rocks anyway.

[unfunny-trans-girl]

What about lead ice cream? That's like, the opposite of uranium and also if you make it with lead acetate it'll be sweet :3

[hot-doctor-pepper]

That would be completely harmless, but I know Mint loves to share and not everyone could eat that. :::(

[aurum-dawn-second-floret]

can you flush the lead out after?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Out of Mint? That’s handled by the Dark Ma-I mean… digestive system. Out of the ice cream dish? I mean chemically yes but making new ice cream would be much faster.

[brfsstuff]

By the huh????? How does Mint digest stuff??

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Through processes that could be described as very similar in many ways to an unmodified Terran.

[brfsstuff]

What’s the “Dark Magic”??? I’m scared! :0

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Don’t worry about it petal

[hot-doctor-pepper]

is there a good way to show how much I love and appreciate the compact?

I jus feel like I'm not doing my part...

You’re doing your part just perfectly petal, but you could give out hugs if you wanted!

What surgery (at least when it comes to terrans) do you think generally takes the longest?

Cancer removal is usually a short process followed by outpatient gene therapy but when it’s in a very advanced stage we sometimes have to grow new organs and tissues in situ as we remove the old ones. This can take a whole day or longer and require multiple surgeons. That’s about the longest anything could take because at a certain point of damage the procedure becomes a full nervous system removal and body replacement which only takes about 8-12 hours.

sending a wellness check isn't the solution for everything!

Correct, domestication is!

[hot-doctor-pepper]

domesticationjob from a girl with big uuhhhhhhhhh

Jobs are Feralist Capitalism,wellness check incoming.

[unfunny-trans-girl]

Wait does this mean pawjobs aren't allowed?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

🤔

Important questions being asked. We’ll have to hold a council

[unfunny-trans-girl]

Also does it depend on if someone is getting or giving a pawjob? Like is getting a pawjob worse tha- ok, I'll just cut to the chase, can I get my ward pinnate florted by giving him a pawjob?

[hot-doctor-pepper]

Only one way to find out I suppose!
