[ Doctors Andyr might, someday, in the far, far distant future, be able to forgive. Might even understand that some care more about helping than progressing. Scientists, engineers, everyone who looks at something and wants to take it apart, figure out how it works, and what they can do with it after, make his skin crawl.
of course, the term 'engineering' has now gone far beyond simple tech and into the realm of human engineering. building synthesized genomes out of what you farm from captive templates. not that the metal bits aren't in there too - what's a new toy if it's not shiny? things that grind through his mind as he shuffles tables around, crawling on top of one to try to reach that vent opening again. ] What? Techs have feelings now? When'd they get that upgrade?
