Traveling with a live experiment
I worked sooooo hard on this. I can't even tell you how hard I worked on this. And some parts of it hold up really well, but... I really don't like other parts of it! Maybe that's why it only got a kind of so-so reaction. Sometimes I think about doing a part 2, although it would be tough to keep it up in this captions format.
BTW! You can get just the art work for this one (if you, unlike me, still like the art work ehe) at full resolution if you're a paid supporter! Patreon / Subscribestar / Fanbox




















In vitro viral cultures are difficult to travel with. Most governments don't like the idea of incredibly dangerous pathogens moving unchecked into and around their countries. In many ways, transporting cultures in vivo is easier. If you show a TSA agent a brief case full of Petri dishes, he'll want many assurances that you're not some kind of mad scientist; after all, most people have seen TV, and most poorly paid government workers have seen too much TV. What good is a bribe to him if you're a part of a doomsday cult about to unleash biological hell anyway? He might not even have time to spend it.
Ah, but show them an entire girl in a suitcase. Well, that's her problem, and her problem alone. Suddenly the bribe is cheap and no reassurances are necessary. Need any more evidence that humanity deserves to perish?
