One year ago they started filming.
In TEN DAYS they will be back! That's NEXT freaking WEEK!!!!
.... I am having all the emotions here!!!
This show was life-changing - and i don't care how fucking stupid that sounds, it was. Still is!
Not only for me, but more importantly to all the beautiful people out there who soo damn rarely see themselves represented in media!
It's the best damn show out there, which treats all the things that people are still not accustomed to as normal (as it fucking should be!) in the most amazing ways. And I can only hope that other shows and films will see how fucking NEEDED that show is!!!
So yeah, before I start bawling like a baby again about all the great things that show's been doing and will be doing in the future, let me just freak out and scream!
I cannot wait to see them all back again, being lovely and goofy and emotional and all around fucking WHOLESOME (and HOT AS HELL!)!!!
(I swear, if I EVER get to be in the same space as David freaking Jenkins, the poor man will NOT know what hit him - I'll shower that man with all the love and praise and adoration I have since April 2022!!! I rarely have faith in showrunners but BY GOD I have faith in David [middlename] Jenkins!!!)

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?
You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?

It is a beautiful day, and you are a horrible research transport vessel. Things are progressing as normal (i.e. it's boring) when a SecUnit pings you, lies right to your metaphorical face, and then tries to bribe you with human media to give it a ride. This is as unexpected as it is unprecedented, and the sheer nerve of it is really to be admired. There's no protocol to this, so what should you do?
Now, this is against a bunch of rules, and could be dangerous if you weren't so impressive and incredible, and you're technically an employee (and can probably rewrite the Univeristy charter at will (until someone notices and puts it back)) so those rules are for other entities.
So, what you should do is allow the rogue SecUnit with a broken governor module and a sketchy story aboard. If you check the files it dumps and find zero (0) malware (which is confusing), and it doesn't even try to trash the place or lay in wait to ambush a crew member, then you've got a good candidate!
Next, what you're going to want to do is absolutely nothing. Just watch it patrol your halls until it's time to leave. Continue staring at it while you're undergoing embarkment procedures. Maybe analyze it a little (you've got plenty of processing power to spare) when it finally sits down and starts watching media. Allow it to settle in and get comfortable while you stare at it and get further and further from port.
Now that you two are alone (intimacy is key!) and you've determined that watching media is all the SecUnit is going to do, it's time to make contact! Make sure to open by telling it it's only survived due to dumb luck, and letting it know you could melt its brain into putty. This starter will work to develop conversation naturally and smoothly, just like you've seen the humans do, and it will be smooth sailing from there!
