I'm absolutely not promising anything but with Mech & Tech at a point where I consider it complete (once I release the LCP for the frames left in queue) with the ZHUKOV (nice book-end since its my first Lancer concept ever), I am feeling the siren song lure for a new manufacturer

Humans are weird: Hate Part 2
( Please come see me on my new patreon and support me for early access to stories and personal story requests :D https://www.patreon.com/NiqhtLord Every bit helps)
Nomar: Excuse me?
Mackavich: The species humans hate the most in the universe are other humans.
Nomar: Well…..that was…ah…that was not what I was expecting.
Audience murmurs more
Mackavich: Were you expecting something else?
Nomar: Yes.
Nomar: What kind of species hates itself more than anyone else?
Nomar: And if that is the case how the hell have you functioned as a society to reach the stars?
Mackavich: We invented space travel to escape from other humans.
Audience laughs
Mackavich: I wish it was that humorous of an answer but it’s partly true.
Nomar: Can you expand on that?
Mackavich: Have you ever been to a human grocery store?
Nomar: A what?
Mackavich: A food dispensary. Stores different types of food from around the worlds, or worlds, and sells them to people.
Nomar: Oh I know what it is but I wanted to watch you struggle to explain it.
Audience laughs
Mackavich: Chuckles
Mackavich: Well there are people who work inside grocery stores and we call them grocery workers.
Mackavich: They take in the food, handle it in storage, bring it out to the floor and set it up in displays, etc.
Nomar: Forgive me if I doze off from this riveting explanation.
Mackavich: Have you ever seen how customers treat the workers?
Nomar: I have not.
Mackavich: The majority don’t even treat them as human beings.
Mackavich: They see them as tools, servants, objects to make their lives easier.
Mackavich: And because they don’t see them as human beings they feel it is perfectly acceptable to treat them as shitty as they want.
Nomar: Oh come now.
Mackavich: I once worked in a grocery store produce department when I needed cash, and there was this old woman that came up to me and demanded I cut open an orange for her so she can take a bite of it to see if it was sweet enough for her to buy.
Mackavich: I told her I can’t do that because we don’t offer free samples; but she continued demanding and raising her voice louder and louder each time I said no.
Mackavich: Eventually my supervisor who had been circling came over and asked what was going on.
Nomar: And he threw the old human out on to the street I take it?
Mackavich: No.
Mackavich: He told her that he was sorry for the interaction and that I was new and did not know what I was doing before taking a knife and cutting open an orange for her.
Mackavich: She took one bite and spit it out, then walked away before he handed me the orange remains back to me to throw out.
Nomar: And this makes you hate customers?
Mackavich: And my boss.
Mackavich: I was following company policy that had been drilled into me, but because my boss did not want to cause a scene he threw me under the bus.
Mackavich: And the old woman knew she could get her way if she made a big enough scene.
Nomar: Forgive me but this seems more like an isolated incident than a species wide norm.
Mackavich: The problem is it’s not isolated.
Mackavich: In a coffee shop I once saw a woman throw her hot beverage at a baristas face because she had added too much creamer in it. The drink gave the barista a 2nd degree burn on half her face.
Audience: (Murmurs of shock)
Nomar: Over a beverage? Really?
Mackavich: Don’t even get me started on when some humans get slightly inconvenienced time wise and decide to unleash unholy hell over a phone call.
Nomar: The more I hear about your people I can understand why you hate yourselves so much.
Mackavich: Right?!
