  1. Yo squid, I heard you like mecha, so I put a fish in your mecha in another mecha… Dr. Ghoti is like a sinister Matroyshka doll.

    I wonder why he decided to stay in Limbo. Did he run out of paradox juice, or just decide that functional immortality made a nice retirement?

    • LOL!
      And by the time he understood what was going on he was stuck, and unwilling to do what it takes to extract paradox energy from newcomers.

      • Indeed. In the throes of blinding violent passion, demolishing a city block does not feel like murder. It feels like an act taken against something much larger. But ripping something out from within a single sentient being is much more difficult to rationalize.

        I once toyed with the idea of automating the process, such that I would not have to think about it. But I still needed to design the required equipment, and thus I found myself staring at a blueprint for a roughly person-shaped extraction pod. A blueprint now long screwed up and thrown away.

        Perhaps I am going soft. Or perhaps… I have not lost, but gained.
