resting. turns out getting your face melted comes with like. side effects. downtime. healing time. no ant activity. sent drones to scout around the waterfactory. result: ants. many ants. so that's a thing.

kind of nice to relax for a bit. tinkered with some tea stuff. same tech as my water filter portal art installation. well that's where i started. somewhere along the way i figured out that

just realised to explain this i have to go into deep teleportal principles

and that is

too

boring

basically i made a thing that keeps nicely brewed tea in a kind of teleportal stasis until i need it. it's not really stasis. it's just like a dimensional fold where time doesn't exist. an eternal hot tea pocket dimension if you will. linked it to my tea room where all my tea drones hang out. so they just bum around making tea and when it's all good and perfect they pour it into the tea dimension. meanwhile i got my favourite mug linked in with a cute little microportal. so when i want tea i just pick up my mug and it gets fill. so basically i have a mug of infinite tea now.

there are times in my life where i just stop and kind of go

this is great

i'm having such a good time

i love being a superscience genius girl

oh sure i got problems. my face is all donked up. although not as bad as i first thought. still missing that old eye. aside from that its just like. scarring. no bone showing through or anything. just all shiny and smooth and weird. eh but diversity is good. kind of miss depth perception though. that stuff is useful. might have to maybe invent a robot eye eventually. could put some cool stuff in it i guess. like magnified vision. the classic. maybe a laser eye but then again maybe not. i can predict all kinds of potential calamities with that nonsense. heat vision, infrared, maybe like yeah just spitballing but maybe some kind of little hover eye that can pop out of my skull and fly around and i can look at stuff around corners and all that kind of business.

that sounds pretty fun actually

i wonder if i could put a teleportal in my eyesocket. could that work. could that be useful somehow. what if i put a microteleportal in there and could do stuff like pull a sword out of my head. is that practical? is that cool or just weird? not sure how i feel about this possibility. have to think about it more i guess.

getting a new cavity in your head can be viewed as a chance to innovate

perhaps losing my eye will turn out to be a happy crisitunity after all

meanwhile scavengers are bringing in loot from the ant hive. i mean i telefrag vortexed most of it. but there was stuff left behind. plus all the ants i killed on the way there. so we're swimming in antbits now. antgutgems oh yes. lots of those. plus my ant prisoners of course. got them in a warehouse that my new superhammer deconstruction drones are very definitely not allowed to crush. very specific instructions there. last thing i need is a giant ant jailbreak. anyway i'll get to them soon enough. probably should make it a priority. giant ants are so squishy and biological. not like oh #4's back! oh yay okay gotta get him down and see what's up. take a look at the realistic battle damage and all that. cool cool.
