Ask Me Anything -- Tinera

Do you like Aspen calling you Tiny?

It’s the obvious nickname I always end up with.

You seem like a pragmatic/straight forward person, have you always been so, or have life circumstances had more of an influence in shaping you this way?

I don’t know. Have yours? People are people.

What would be your ideal way to spend a rest day?

I used to be really good at beer pong, which is very messy in lunar gravity.

Do you still feel strongly against the way PUFs alter their brains?

The behaviour-altering brain damage? Why is this even a question? What’s wrong with you?

What are your thoughts on recent developments with the bacteria in the chronostasis pods?

I’m not a scientist. But I assume at this point that everything we learn is just going to be even more fucked up.

Do you feel hopeful that the ship & crew will make it to your destination safely?

Well there’s not exactly any other positive results to hope for. So yes.

What's your biggest regret?

Oh we’re getting weirdly personal huh?

What is the thing you hate the most?

Answering intrusive personal questions from strangers.

What you love the most?

Not answering intrusive personal questions from strangers.

Do you think about your life in earth or you try to avoid thinking about it?

I’ve never been to Earth except for my time in prison. Which is similar to being in Lunar prison except much safer.

Do you have or want to have children?

If we end up establishing a place where anyone would want to raise children before I grow old and die it’ll be a fucking miracle.

If you have to pick one of your crewmates to be locked with in a small room for 24hrs, who you pick?

Denish.

*if it comes to this* would you be willing to lead a rebellion against the corporate overlords when it’s time to land on hylara?

Nobody who’s part of the crew who fails so utterly as to let any overlords get established should be leading any rebellion because they’ve already proven that they’re incompetent. We hold all the cards right now. Some people are a bit upset that hard decisions might have to be made, but come on man. “If you managed to set an entire city block on fire, would you take charge of the firefighting crew to put the fire out?” Don’t be stupid.

I know you’re not very familiar with fauna, because you were born on Luna. When you get to the planet, will you be interested in getting a pet (from earth, such as a cat or something) or helping domesticate an animal from the new planet?

I think we have very different ideas about the resource priorities when terraforming an entirely new planet that’s literally lightyears further from Earth than anyone has ever gone.

Not sure what you mean about domesticating an animal on the planet. All the animals that are gonna be on the planet are in our freezers. Anything worth domesticating in there is already domesticated. Why would the new planet open new domestication opportunities.
