12/27/24 – An Approxiscan

|

Gerek pointed at the approxiscan and said, "an approxiscan scans things, let's you know if you can eat them, or make love to them, or if they are carrying radiation-seeking missiles." Excited, Val said, "oh! That might be useful! My stomach has been bothering me recently. And I've been wondering if I accidentally ate something that was bad for me." Gerek looked at the approxiscan screen and said, "it says it doesn't detect anything in you that you shouldn't have eaten, nor that you have any of the more common galactic ailments. And so it suggests you whine less. Anyhow, it's a guide, it's information, it has knowledge on most anything, and it can also be used as a communication device." Audri said, "we'll accept, but only if you put your contact info in there on auto-dial." Gerek started doing just that, and begrudgingly said, "okay, but if you message me emoji's all day, I'm blocking you."

    Out of body, out of mind, out of meds, dead. Yeah, I can see the progression.

    Hadn’t considered that being free of the disease could be quite so consequential, but there Picknar is. Or Val. Or both of them, really.
