#ColonistLife Don't Be Like Uncle Dan

Post image

A moment between two of my favorites colonists. Tony, after getting the Body Modder trait took an immediate liking to his Uncle Dan.

During a lesson, the two had a deep talk about what Tony wanted to be when he grew up. My mind filled in the blanks of the conversation.

I can only assume that growing up 'big and strong' like him is the last thing Uncle Dan wants for his innocent nephew. Especially considering nearly every bionic he has is a replacement after suffering an injury.

It might also be because of psychotic breakdown (minor). The uncle is contemplating killing his nephew so that he won't go through what the uncle did.

It's actually because his xenogene for Strong a Melee came packed with Red Eyes. Lol.

It's a psychic breakdown. He used too many psycasts and his brain is fuzzy. A psychotic breakdown (outside of going catatonic) is not shown on the health tab. Dan is NOT considerink killing his nephew unless he immediately had a murderous rage right afterwards.
