Neurodivergent Tech Week Prompts: 6 in 1!

“In what way, are people hurt by your decisions?” asked Naomi kindly. Tech sighed, not meeting the commanding officer’s eyes.

Tech from The Bad Batch and Naomia Nagata from The Expanse in my crossover longfic.
They're my beef bulgogi and tortillas, my curry and wurst, my Sabaton and Baby Metal. From two completely different places, but they're beautiful when they're together.
Shipped? Nope. But as guides and protectors of each other? Absolutely.
