03/24/25 – Unverifiable

Still in the lounge, Val said with arms akimbo, "Fine. Maybe nick is waiting with bated breath, and maybe Jo is alive and is pining for my friendship." Lasper said, "So, in what way can we help you get to these people?" Audri said, "Can you return us home to earth?" Lasper said, "'Home'? But Earth is a dark planet with humans, not tiths." Gerek chimed in, "There was a consciousness-switching experiment on Tithoron which went wrong. The minds of these two humans were mistakenly switched into the bodies of these two tiths. And presumably, the two tithorons' consciousnesses were transferred into their human bodies." Lasper said in an aside to Gerek, "Um... have you verified this story?" Gerek mock-held up his approxiscan and said to it in a loud pretend voice, "Hello, super secret tith lab which was raided, surely you have footage of the unheard-of illegal experiment conducted there and would be open to sharing it, yes?" Understanding dawning, Lasper said, "Sigh. I suppose it's no more unrealistic than a pacifist bollyck." Gerek said, "Yeah. That's kinda where I ended up too."

Way to keep positive, Val. Or maybe she’s read some of my previous comics and knows better.

        Oooh, good point. Before we leave Tithoton, we seize (by guile or force) the equipment used in the initial transfer so that we can attempt to undo (or redo) the first transfer to put the tiths into tith bodies and the humans into human bodies. Of course, we’ll debug the transfer process so that some other innocent individuals don’t become ensnared in the transfer, but I’m sure that’s a minor issue. Probably.
