Kim and Torres were guests of the Ocampa, and Kess knew how to get in and out of the shielded area. The Kazon were in the area but not directly involved yet.

So by beaming her up immediately, they would have had far more time available to do thing.

Now, whether they ask the right questions quickly enough to get in and out of the caves/cracks Kess got out through, who’s to say.

Either way, if I recall correctly, the kazon knew not to fuck with the Caretakers station, so while I’m sure they would eventually have tested it to see if anyone was still home, it wouldn’t have been as quick.

Ultimately I believe if Neelix had been truthful, the crew would have had enough time to figure out how to send themselves back to the alpha quadrant, and possibly been smart enough to set spatial charges to blow it up soon after they left to make sure the kazon don’t get their hands on it.

What change is this move driving? I can’t see around all the genocide.

Ah, so you just wanted to stand on a soap box and let everyone see how virtuous and moral you are. Got it.

a spy chief saying something out loud is mainly a diplomatic message and not a secret plan.

Unless you’re in the US, then they text secret plans directly to you.

But that’s fair, it just seems like something a child would say when they’re losing a game. “oh you’re all right where I want you, this was all part of my plan”

And with all fads, it’s cyclical. But on the internet, things move quicker so instead of 20-30 years, it’s more like 5-10.

They still aren’t fully ready to fight Ukraine, in what universe are they ready to fight a NATO nation, let alone all of them minus the US?

The only way I see them being “ready to target NATO” is if the cheeto in chief is commanded to join in by his handlers.

Marketing really missed an opportunity for “InfiniTurd” on that one.

He’s something of a messiah, himself.

It definitely made me double-take at first because my brain tried to read “burners” at first until I realized that isn’t what it said…

And I thought the torches were flags for a second, too.

Banners of books

That or there’s a giant banner stretched out and made entirely of books just to the left.

Let’s burn this bitch down and start over with the common man in mind, and the needs of everyone met.

Or let’s go find a new planet. With blackjack, and hookers.

Every so often while working retail we would get an out-of-towner in the store while that happens.

They lose their shit and panic.

One time at a sports store, a guy heard the sirens at the checkout counter and just left the cart and booked it for his car. I guess he figured he would outrun anything coming at him…

The last two places I’ve lived choose a specific Wednesday of the month to test, and always at noon.

They still test in rain, so every so often you still feel that mild panic again until you look at the clock.

Don’t judge until you try some ghost dick for yourself.

It’s still weak, just like humans are still slow.

At least compared to other animals.

But like gravity, we just keep going. And going. And going.

And when the animals we hunted collapsed from exhaustion, we just kept coming. And then took it all the way back we came.

Just like gravity.

We can try to keep going until we just can’t anymore, but gravity will just grab us and haul us back.

Compared to the other forces, gravity is a weak ass bitch.

I got it on one of those giveaways that steam/epic/gog sometimes do, so I never even gave them money over it and I still want my money back.

I absolutely like pests!

I like them to stay out of my house, mostly.

But you know, all the other stuff that helps keep us alive is a big bonus, too.

I use my cell data in my bedroom because it’s more stable than my router connection. I wish I had control of the router, but it’s not my house. I’d just move the router to a more centralized location instead of the farthest corner.

Back before I moved, I kept the router at one of the reduced power modes it had built in(can’t remember the exact settings) since the room it sat in was the best room for signal distribution, you still got full signal anywhere you went.
