Bad Machinery by John Allison for February 11, 2022

Huh, I thought the Victorians scrubbed that face off with turpentine.

Shauna says she’s 13, but she’s technically still 12 for a couple more days. Her birthday’s the day after the end of this case.

I got in trouble at that age reading Arthur Conan Doyle instead of more civics lessons. I was naive enough to have the book with me during the parent teacher conference.

I surprised that they survived The Battle of Dibs.

Awww… Poor aliens. They had to restart a civilization just the five of them. Great thing onions grow up well in this planet.

Wait, where’s the other 3 aliens?

And what are the mystery kids, Lem, and the alien mother doing all this while?

I wonder if these aliens ever realized how closely their crew was paralleling Star Trek The Next Generation’s bridge crew…

THis quickly turned from a frightful scream-fest to an empathetic sad story.

You shouldn’t tit about with Veffus’ Law.

The Battle Of Whose Turn Is It is universal, it seems.
