MEME: Never Have I Ever
Since we haven't done it since JUNE:
Final scorecard will go up eventually. Keep in mind that although this is a (more or less) IC meme it has no bearing on gameplay, and any secrets revealed here go back to being secret when not basking in the light of Moby's gleaming cranium. GO GO GO. There is no such thing as tagging in late, please do join the mayhem :D
Never Have I Ever
★ Have your character post a top-level comment with something in the form of "never have I ever __________________" -- gone skinny dipping, been in a threesome, cheated on a test, etc. it can be anything, innocuous or completely dirty.
★ If you post a "never have I ever" you are thereby signing up to play the rest of the game as best you can, owning up to whatever anyone else has posted or will post after you.
★ You own up by replying to the "never have I ever" challenge comment, saying you've done it. You get one point for everything you have done - IE: if you have gone skinny dipping, been in a threesome, cheated on a test, etc.
★ Your "never have I ever" comment should be something you have never done, because the point of the game is to have the lowest score possible. though you can certainly post something you *have* done in order to out other people and make them get more points.

ALRIGHT, all the ladies who aren't vat-grown sterile supersoldiers.

[Not that she has any idea what they are.]
And it wasn't a vat! It was a machine!

Vat, machine, something-not-a-womb.

And what is it with 21st-century humans and this reproductive prejudice? It freaks you all out that I wasn't incubated in a womb.

You were created, on a genetic level, for the sole purpose of being a soldier. It is to the benefit of generals creating perfect soldiers that the soldiers be devoted utterly to their duties and be willing to sacrifice their lives to the cause. If a given soldier were to procreate and have children, loyalties might be divided between the cause and the offspring; now the soldier has something to live for, something dependent on her, something that might detract from the soldier's ability to carry out her duties.
As a subset, unless your species reproduces in a completely non-mammalian way, despite looking entirely mammalian, then you would also be fairly useless as a combatant during the gestation period as well.
So if you posit genetic engineering of a detailed level enough to create someone like you, teach you all you need to know about war in a few minutes, then it follows the generals or scientists or whatever could also easily limit your reproductive capabilities and probably did so. I know I would have if I'd been them. I wouldn't want my soldiers to be taking the initiative to create more beings with this special super-soldier genetic code-- beings outside my purview and control. I'd make my soldiers sterile.
It's because you look human, okay? If something with green scaled skin and wings and six eyes told me it had been popped from a machine, that'd be one thing. But you read as physically identifiable to human on all major markers, and certain base assumptions are made by humanoids regarding common, shared experiences-- like having a fucking childhood-- and you don't have any of that. It veers close to Uncanny Valley territory.

As for my species, I have no idea how we reproduce, but from what little I do know, it's probably not quite like a human.
And that's so 21st-century. There are all kinds of ways in my time of having kids that don't involve wombs. How do you think men have biological kids with other men? Sure, most people have childhoods, but there are plenty of exceptions, not just me. And some other species, I mean-- If you think I'm weird, I should tell you how Adipose reproduce.

Of course it's a 21st-century perspective. I'm from the 21st-century. It's an exercise in total speculation on my part to try and have a perspective from beyond the 21st century.
*rolls eyes, lights a cigarette* Alright, tell me how the Adipose reproduce.
no subject
After it's eaten, the compound settles into the animal's fat. Once millions of animals have been successfully seeded, the gel's rapid gestation is then triggered by a frequency the Adipose give off, usually through a machine for maximum efficiency. Baby Adipose form directly from the fat in the animals, basically popping out of the animals as cute little fat blobs.
Seriously. They're adorable, but made completely of fat.
Then all the millions of the little darlings are whisked away on mum and dad's nursery ship to grow into big, adult Adipose.
