@Robert:
Well, a problem that hasn’t happened yet is NOT the same as a problem that CAN’T happen.
This test is supposed to confirm (by observation only) whether-or-not the system can protect against a certain kind of problem.
Unfortunately, the “it-hasn’t-happened-so-it-won’t-happen” mindset applies to all too many situations in what we laughingly refer to as the Real World – O-ring failures, for instance.
I used the line “They assumed that since nothing had happened, nothing would happen.” in a high-level meeting . . . pretty much everybody winced, and the big boss said “It sounds like we have to do it.” I nodded.
I suspect it was already THERE to be found, and Accounts for Many YEARS of Mysterious Disappearances [Some or Most of them Officially Unsolved.]
“Macabre” CAN Occasionally be Ugly.
As I understand it, Scarlett’s test equipment wasn’t designed to CAUSE any problems, only to DETECT whether certain types of problem could possibly get past the fail-safes
My question is, since Scarlett was affected less than all the others, is this because she was less vulnerable, or did she have the equipment aimed at the adults?
As savvy as the MIB is, I have my doubts as to whether their HR department is going to know how to fill out the Workperson’s Compensation forms for the claims that are going to come out of this incident. This is Trauma, with a capital YIKES!!
We’ve learnt that some children, while brilliant, still have a lot to learn about appropriate communication. Doubly so if they expect further assistance and funding. Yes the situation is important and likely urgent. She would be better served empowering them to help by providing guidance than abuse.
Well Good News I don’t see Acacia in that scene, nor any of the other scientists. Theres a Cartoon woman with a pencil sticking in her headthat looks kinda like Mrs. Crabapple from the Simpsons (NOW we know what happened to her.) Two Identical Twin women melding together screaming, the forementioned Fileted Guy, something that looks from another Dimension – part human part Armadillo, half an X-rayed guy sticking out of the ceiling, and 2 that are just gross. All together….txmystics right, YIKES!
well that escalated quickly. ~<3
Then why did you go looking for it?

It’s a rather fine line between “nothing has happened” and “nothing will happen.”
And it’s a pretty good rule of thumb to apply “if you don’t know what to do, do nothing.”

I support that hypothesis.
Okay, now *i’m* scarred.
Is this like a crossover/reference panel? Is that the flayed predator that Atsali’s mom wreaked vengeance on???
The one that stuffed a kid in a pizza oven? Wasn’t Atsali’s mom, that was Suzi the busty vampire.
Okay, um…
Jaysus! I hope they’re able to be put back together, because one of those scrambled transporter patterns is BUD!
😳Agreed ❗
Meanwhile, at Hiroshi’s house …..

yes
Alright… that is a legitimate response to seeing something like that. Carry on.
To quote Moon Unit Zappa, “Barf out! I mean, gag me with a spoon!”
It’s been a l-o-o-ong time since I’ve heard ^that^ song.
(Fortunately I didn’t memorize enough of th lyrics to have it as an earworm for me❗)
Oh, man.
As savvy as the MIB is, I have my doubts as to whether their HR department is going to know how to fill out the Workperson’s Compensation forms for the claims that are going to come out of this incident. This is Trauma, with a capital YIKES!!
I suspect that this is readily reversible . . . or that Scarlett thinks it is.
Okay . . . report on the forum is that Paul has stated that these are entities from other dimensions trapped in the grid ancho, not any of the adults.
(Not being on Twitter, I cannot verify this.)
Ya think, maybe, Castela will be making an appearance soon⁉️
Ok, how many of those… peices of people… used to be the adults that were there? Seems like some may have appeared out of the aether.
None of them. These are what Scarlet challenged the adults to keep their eyes open and look at. These are what she was looking for with her test.
OMG!
I can’t believe it!
Scarlett’s pregnant!
🤔… 🙄
So, y’all high and mighty Pearl-clutching adults, what have we learned today?
That’s right, sometimes someone is not only smarter than you, but also has every right to talk down at you.
This right here is an “oh, shit, reality is getting fucked by a cactus” problem.
I’d say she has every right to be mean.
We’ve learnt that some children, while brilliant, still have a lot to learn about appropriate communication. Doubly so if they expect further assistance and funding. Yes the situation is important and likely urgent. She would be better served empowering them to help by providing guidance than abuse.
No one has a right to talk down to you. Being smart. Being correct. Being talented. Being rich. Not one gives you the right to be a jerk.
Matt, that does not mean they won’t do it.
In fact, that encourages them to.
How do one says, “Nope still don’t get it” in ripped out meatsack-ese ?
Isn’t it obvious? Salvador Dali is back in town!
yikes.
that’s…all I got.
yikes.
They have such sights to show her.
The law of unintended consequences.
Are you certain they’re unintended consequences? Brandi was only recently exorcized.
Hmmmmm. Hmmmmmm. May need to reboot.
And how many grid anchors are out there, with the same thing happening?

Analytical intelligence is NOT emotional intelligence. This girl is… not helping as much as she thinks she is.
Less bragging, more fixing, child. There will be time to rub people’s noses in your genius AFTER you make sure they won’t die.
This would’ve been really wicked in COLOR don’t you think?
Got some Courage the Cowardly Dog vibes going on. Return the slab~!
