Unreliable data is the hobgoblin of little landmines.

Professor Festus Loomp emerged from a hallway leading off of the waiting area. He was a bit older — wearing spectacles and was of a more gray hue than the potential subjects. He gestured for Picknar and another Tith to follow, saying, “Picknar, Thoos, come with me. I’m professor Festus Loomp. You two have been chosen as the ideal pair for this experiment, largely based on intelligence.” Loomp began getting excited, warming to the subject. “Intelligence intelligence intelligence! It’s the most important factor.” Loomp led them down the hallway, continuing to explain the experiment, “to be more clear about it, it’s part of larger work I’m doing in spacial transference.” Picknar innocently asked, “that’s just another word for ‘teleportation,’ isn’t it?” Annoyed by this question, Loomp griped, “sigh. don’t test results which read, ‘as intelligent as a lopsided rock’ mean anything anymore?”

…I can’t figure out what the Professor’s glasses are even doing.
They’re signifying that the Professor is smart, obviously.
Their best.
@Shen, <3
Are we sure they’re glasses?
Maybe they’re actually sneeze-catchers, filtering the Professor’s nasal exhaust. 😀
…I suspected on the second panel, but the last one basically confirmed it – they want to start small and transfer as little intelligence as possible, don’t they?
Or it’s incredibly dangerous, so they picked the two dumbest subjects who are the least likely to realise.

“And doesn’t ‘consciousness exchange’ mean swapping bodies?”
“Idiots! I’m not surrounded by idiots!”
Ah, so these creatures are called “Tith”.
Ah, the infamous contempt of the degreed for those not so equipped and, therefore, not bright enough to understand the conversation nor how badly the experiment is going to degrade them. But that’s all to the good — they didn’t read the ‘hold harmless’ or DNR clauses in the paperwork either, very likely. All that remains is the disposal problem, which can be handled by a somewhat advanced form of potty-bot.
“All that remains is the disposal problem, which can be handled by a somewhat advanced form of potty-bot.”
Clearly, that would be the body-bot. 😀
Remains-bot. Presuming there ARE or WILL BE remains.
Should be “spatial”
