And we’re back to Max.. Yay.
She’s bleeding from the shoulder and still running from the yahoos that shot her.The yahoos are still following her. Because after being injured like that they’re going to go after Max as opposed to seek medical attention. But, as we all know, that would make sense!
As she runs, unable to fly, she mentions the fact she screwed up and Angel is being subjected to who knows what sorts of torments. She also realizes now that she can’t get in contact with Nudge and Fang because they don’t have cell phones or any other way to get a hold of them.
… dur.
I think I called that awhile ago.
Just because you realize you’ve been holding the idiot ball, does not stop you from being considered an idiot.
Of course, it starts to rain.
Why not?
It’s not like they mentioned storm clouds earlier. Because you know, that would be something that would make it difficult to fly or anything.
Of course then again they failed to mention a helicopter earlier which dropped a bunch of eraserheads onto the group.
I’m starting to form an interesting picture here. Max clearly has absolutely no ability to notice her environment whatsoever. Neither do any of the other kids. The EVIL Scientists must have taken away their ability to notice things when they did their Evil Scientist Things to them.
In an amazing bit of coincidence (not) Max finds the house of the girl she saved. HOW LUCKY IS THAT?! Now she doesn’t have to completely introduce herself to some stranger of which she has no connection to! Instead she has an already SYMPATHETIC person who will be willing to help her.
How about that?
How lucky can that plot contrivance be?
Since she’s fairly certain that Ella is going to be friendly to her - which of course she is - she steps out of the bushes where the girl is waiting for her dog to do his thing.
EXCITEMENT OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN BEING HELD OFF. GOING TO ANGEL NOW
SAD
Well, not really.
We get more thoughts from the scientists folk. They’re boring. About blood samples and eegs. Angel is wondering where Max is as she’s in her dog crate.
So, they keep the kids in dog crates. Evil.
How is it that they’re reasoning human individuals then? They treat them like animals. They should be .. I don’t know, I want to say somewhat feral? Like those other kids that Angel saw in the other dog crates. I mean we haven’t seen any other keeping methods. They keep on calling her it.
Which is just really irritating. I mean I worked in a vivarium before. That’s where you keep the lab animals for experiments. There were lots of mice and rats. We had evil frogs of evil. Seriously these frogs were evil - if they bit you the only way you could get it off your finger was to wait until it opened its mouth to take in more of your finger. And we had bunnies. We named the bunnies, cause there were only three of them. The female mother rats were always “momma”. We played with the baby rats.
Not one of the animals was an ‘it’.
Even the nasty evil frogs weren’t an it.
And they weren’t even humanoid animals.
This is a little girl, an obvious little girl, even though she has wings, and they’re calling her “it”.
That just makes no sense. No real human would act like that.
Clearly they’re pod people. I refuse to believe that any real human would be able to consistently be unable to identify with a subject enough that they can’t even assign a gender value to it. It’s not how humans work. We assign genders to BOATS for crying out loud.
BOATS
If a boat can be a woman, then a little girl can be a she.
If Jayne can name his gun Vera, then a little girl can be a she.
If the Doctor can call his TARDIS a sexy thing, and stroke it in all sorts of wrong ways, then a little girl can be a she.
If Jack Sparrow and various pirates can call the Black Pearl a she, then a little girl can be a she.
If Data an android can be called a he then a little girl of flesh and blood can be called a she!
It’s not that hard!
Really!
Just.
And.
ARGH
And THEN to make matters even worse, we go over to Iggy and Pump and they’ve made a bomb. But that’s not the worst thing. The worst thing is that Pump gives Iggy a shirt to wear and then they go out and FLY
WITH SHIRTS ON.
*throws things and stomps off*

Date: 2011-04-29 01:25 am (UTC)Trust me, I know scientists. Including the ones who experiment on animals (my mum, for instance, tests the effects of various heavy metals on molluscs). They're not evil bastards who torment things for fun. In fact the people who give me rats to keep breed them specifically so they can be operated on, then killed and dissected as soon as they turn one year old. And they don't call the rats "it" or act all callous. They clearly love animals. Their job is to train vetinary nurses, for cripe's sake. They clearly don't enjoy having to kill the rats they breed, which is why they're happy to give me a couple every so often - they like seeing them go to a good home instead of getting chopped up.
Scientists are just regular people with degrees and a big curiosity about the world. Performing experiments doesn't automatically make you evil.
