Episode Notes

Yeah, the Phrankenstynians have a dry wit... very, very dry. Practically arid.

They may dedicate their lives to science, but they still know how to dress for awesomeness!

Transcript

Panel 1: Admiral Slog and the Cloaked Telepathic Alien are in a private meeting.
Caption:
Diplomatic Suite, Tranquility Base
Admiral Slog:
Welcome Commandant Thalamus, I hope your journey was not too arduous?
Commandant Thalamus:
Greetings Admiral Slog, my journey was quite satisfactory, thank you.
Panel 2:
Admiral Slog:
I understand that you previously met with Admirals Cain and Crichton?
Well, as you know we had a slight, um, massacre on Earth, leaving me in charge of the Space Agency.
And, I'm sure you can appreciate that we had some rather pressing issues to deal with, but now I've read all the relevant files, or at least the ones we could recover.
Panel 3:
Commandant Thalamus:
I completely understand, and I believe we offered the expertise of our Medical Corps?
Admiral Slog:
Yes, thank you.
Commandant Thalamus:
Our time was not completely wasted either, we had plenty of opportunity to study many of the Federation's species.
Panel 4:
Admiral Slog:
Alas, we had no opportunity to study your species, the Phrankenstynians, but I understand you dedicate your whole lives solely to the study of science?
Commandant Thalamus:
That is correct.
Admiral Slog:
So tell me, what happens if one of you wants to be a painter, or a poet, or another of the arts?
Panel 5:
Commandant Thalamus:
Simple, we eradicate those tendencies in childhood with targeted brain alteration.
And if that doesn't work, we just kill them, or use them as living organ donors.
Admiral Slog:
Ha! Good one, you have a very dry sense of humour.
Ha... ha...
...Ha.
So um, let us discuss the Chandelier Project.
