Wonder if the sensors on those crawlers can tell the source of moisture? Seems it would have been solved much faster if Carly just put the contents of that water bottle into it directly instead of including her kidneys in the cycle. Fun to read for sure, but I fully believe anyone with Stacy’s blood would be trying to hack the system on principle.

I’d imagine Beth will have times where it’s hard to resist. An earlier chapter mentioned her instincts were on high alert because she was expecting her period, so it’ll be something she faces on a regular basis. And yeah, Stacy was a bit full speed ahead, damn the torpedoes when it came to long term consequences. Understandable- she was a very bright but somewhat hotheaded teenager at the time. Pity her kid got the roundabout consequences- hopefully they have an honest mother-daughter chat about that in the future.

Girl. Get thee to a mandated reporter. Tell them everything she did over break. If possible, provoke your mother into administering a spanking that leaves obvious bruises first so there is evidence. But run to the counselor.

And she doesn’t even have to blink “torture” in Morse code to get the point across. Though I wouldn’t fault the kid if she did.

I’ve taught that baby in a few families. The oops-I-thought-it-was menopause baby can be a fun student- I had one introduce me to his nephew, who was twice his age. but that only stretches the timeline to early fifties, unless Amazon reproductive cycles are different.

Makes sense that that newfangled stuff might be seen as the purview of those coastal liberal elites in New Haven. (In my head, Ames is Iowa or Nebraska- flat, boring, and conservative.)

I hope he’s wearing his magic super-immodium bracelet! Rule one: never leave your drink unattended! It might honestly be safer to survive on tamper proof packaged food made for Amazons or fast in the presence of others at this point. Maybe Amanda can collect him for one safe meal a day at her house.

Looks like Connor is going to have to do the teacher’s trick of deliberate dehydration until he can get hold of some safe water. What I’m trying to figure out is how the water additive doesn’t hoist the nest mothers by their own petard.

If you wear a long enough rash guard top with your swim trunks, you won’t get waistband peek and you’ll avoid sunburn.

She was a Delores Umbridge villian- evil, but in a banal and fluffy sort of way. In a society that refuses to see anyone under six feet as a person, it’s a more omnipresent and pervasive evil. I do agree that nanited Chloe was not the real one- she was what Stacy wanted her to be. In that sense, Stacy in her eighteen year old understanding of unintended consequences killed the real Chloe and replaced her with a doppelgänger.

I’m guessing the pods are at fault. Maybe Connor can invest in an eye mask and ear plugs, and set a watch alarm. Truthfully the only thing that might save Connor is Amanda putting her foot down as an esteemed professor and saying anything that happens to her grandson will be fully investigated and the culprits charged.

Honestly the only hope Connor has of avoiding that script is to convince Kelly the professor would grade them poorly for picking something light and accessible like a domestic comedy, that old meanie. Play hard on the “Prof will give us a better mark if he sees us taking risks. You’ve already seen what a hardass he is.” card. Maybe even throw in “We’re already at a disadvantage because of the prejudice against two members of this group, we’d be begging for you getting an F if we went with something that he expects.” I’ve met my fair share of film snobs who think anything close to a domestic comedy/rom-com is worthless fluff, and pinning the rejection on the professor’s preferences gets the blame on someone else. But of course this is the DD and rule number one is “If you’re under six feet tall, success is not an option.” Connor can’t win, but he sure as hell is going to have to get creative to try.

For what?

What are you offering in trade?

The leggings, especially the adaptive ones, are awesome. They work great for not quite babyish but still not potty trained outfits.

Quite a lot longer. The girls ones are sized for a 5’2” frame and these according to the size chart are up to 5’9”. I’d say in actual wearing experience it’s an inch or so short of that. The girl ones also failed for me for the same reason. I gave up and converted those to fitted t-shirts. These ones fit with room to spare on my 5’6” frame, but they don’t get along with my curves.

These are Thereabouts boys husky sizes (18-20 H for the spaceship, 22 H for the skateboard.). They have two layers, Iike a regular t-shirt with a onesie layer underneath. They are sized for chests up to 37 inches for the ship and 38.5 inches for the skater. My 39 inch chest fits pretty well in both, and they will work well with diapers up to about 5’8” or maybe 5’9”. I bought these for myself, forgetting that boobs and onesies don’t always mix. They are super comfortable but if you are a person with breasts realize they will fit best on a flat-ish figure. Retails for 22 each, but I will let them go for 10 plus shipping if it gets them to someone who can use them.

So I love making cute AB wear, but over time have learned I am more of an AK. In hopes of building a cute wardrobe I will actually wear, I’m selling off my younger end stuff. This is altered from a 2xl shortalls pair from Wish. I’ve installed snaps on the straps and crotch, a cute buttoned cross strap, and leg elastic to make it a toddler romper. It fits a women’s size 10-14 over a diaper and works best at a height of about 5’4”-5’8”. This thing is adorable, it just doesn’t suit me. If you want it, it’s yours for 40 plus shipping cost. Bespoke, this would go for a lot more, so grab it while you can!

It’s quite cute. However, my brain is attempting to picture a sparrow throwing a javelin and the mental picture is hilarious. But hey, if an African swallow can grip a coconut by the husk…

I would imagine that there are multiple dimensional connections, and they have different methods with different ones. For the ones with a little technological difference like this one, bait them with tech and dreams of streets paved with gold and tread as carefully as possible with PR. (Maybe play off people not coming home as them choosing to resettle there.) In the dimensions that are far behind, there can be a bolder approach. Extracting resources from colonies at best, slave trade at worst.

If Emerson is like some universities, they might require all freshmen to live on campus or with family for commuters. Or maybe living off campus has a height requirement.

Well, there is precedent here. Both meta, because that’s just a Sofia’s main characters thing, and in universe because his mother went with it much more easily than most would have.

I sincerely hope everyone is mature enough to know you shouldn’t dump microscopic mind control robots into the water supply(or whatever it is Stacy did to that city- she was understandably cagey about it because I’m pretty sure that counts as environmental terrorism to the authorities). That’s just begging to lose control of your experiment. Nanites in this particular literary playground are like cell phones in horror movies. They’re useful for advancing the plot, but they need to break sometimes so conflict can happen.

Not necessarily. For all we know, he could be on the losing end of a Nanites arms race. His mother developed her work in relative isolation, even with internet contact with this dimension. The bad guys on this side could very easily have developed something he doesn’t have a countermeasure to. Also consider how quick and dirty most of Stacy’s initial nanite work was. It wasn’t reviewed, it had no collaboration. It was a teenager hacking the machines in her own body. A teenager playing Dr. Jekyll, even a very smart teenager, will screw things up. And Stacy when young was quite iffy on the concept of unintended consequences.

I assume this country has connections with a few dimensional equivalents. The more technologically advanced they try to be a little on the up and up with, because they can hold their own in a conflict of “you took my citizen.” Those dimensions get the tourism visas and a little protection. But the ones they see as inferior… that’s their domestic supply of adoptable infants there. That’s where the job programs prey on the desperate. They probably save the disdain for the less developed dimensions that can’t fight back. Very colonial of them.
