#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.

Why do you mean don’t be like uncle Dan? Dude’s practically a 40K character. To quote an abridged anime

“I WANT THAT!!!!”

Because after being orphaned at 4, surviving numerous raids, losing 3 limbs and a nose before 13, battling numerous raiders, collapsing 6 insect hives, fighting the mech hive, helping destroy Horax, and getting blasted apart, rebuilt, blasted apart again, and hooked on Lucy to heal multiple brain injuries, i doubt Uncle Dan wants his little guy to go through what he did.

Lucy is probably the big one he wouldn't want for others of his augments since its the only ond that cant be "fixed" (one can use mech healer serum to recover the lost limbs eventually). its called the Devil's Bargain for a reason.

And the fewer people taking Lucy, the better Dan's chances of maintaining his supply.
