    I’m not sure whether to be more concerned whether someone is running the show or if no-one is running the show.

    The P2 dialog sounds suspiciously like a certain funky Mad- but if she were involved, they’d know no infection was involved…

    I want to turn back time and go to that school instead. Much more fun!

    Seems like a mash-up of Animal Farm (obviously) and a Lem story about people being trained, unsuccessfully though no one would admit it, to breathe underwater (though that association is probably just my personal bias — I don’t expect most other people to have read the same tiny sliver of sci fi that I have). Anywho, I’m not holding my breath looking for major points in the overarching plot to be resolved by a side quest/side fable.

    Also, no Google results for “screaming metal flower”. Always impressive when a line is so nice, it makes you check if it’s an allusion!

      Given mad science, anyone can be equipped with gills. It’s quite possible all the animals they have been seeing used to be people.

      Oh, and I did read that Lem story – one of the “Star Diary” series of short stories, no? I wonder how he got it by the censors.

      I think “screaming metal flower” is from another Lem work – The novel “Eden”.

    “The filmstrips” huh?
    Did they just chance upon a bunch of old documentaries in the abandoned libraries, or is anasigma doing its usual modus operandi?

      I remember those from elementary school. The projector was actually kind of neat.

      Predated overhead transparencies and PowerPoint, but did the job quite well.

    Better see if any adult teachers are still around. Why wouldn’t they be? They must have tenure…

      There are some schools that are so strict in terms of discipline that the process of education might be considered one of “de-humanization.” Here, the de-humanization process is taken to a whole new level!

    Amazing
    A school that actually prepares Youth for the outside world!

      It’s easier to prepare for that world – it doesn’t change as fast as other universes.

    Anybody else wondering if HT is running the show? Or even an evil version of Sweetheart (and wouldn’t THAT be horrific?) Or, and this is a very long stretch, a certain Canadian werewolf Sheriff who’d probably be very happy to see male-Tip?

      HT and Sweetheart together would be my guess. The combination of transgenics and bureaucracy seems to fit both their styles. The sheriff would be a long shot, as she seems to prefer the north woods. And pre- or post-apocalypse, she’s definitely better adapted for there than anywhere else.

    “Like the blooming of a screaming metal flower.”

    Beautiful.

    Only infected if they start ‘weeping’ and slash or ‘oozing’ 😛
