Mell didn’t die; she corporal ascended into heaven. The main difference is that she got to take her body up with her; not a lot of people get to do that.
If I were Mendoza, I’d start automating. “I have to call them off again? It’ll be a lot less trouble to set up a sensor connected to a recording of me calling them off”
An interesting side-effect is that things can keep running for some time if I get ‘off’ed. Though maybe not so interesting for me
So the override is basically a motion detector? Sergio, pre-demised, figured that who/whatever entered St. Charlie would be beset upon by some mad scenario or another so it’s easier to just have the override go off every time?
When my sister was five she didn’t know death was supposed to be permanent so she did have conversations with her dolls that involved questions like this.
We made the brundlefles using a dangerous method. The were not visible on scanners, and so gave us the shivers (incidentally, they were dead ringers for that guy in Jurassic Park and Independence Day). Some tended to brood, while others had a history of violence (that crash was in no way an accident), but the oddest thing was their weekly naked lunch of spider.
Of course, they are the reason for the existenz of the dead zone here.
Now, now, let’s not panic. There are degrees of dead. Nick is, technically, dead. His heart stopped and no life functions exist. (If they didn’t bury his body in the desert, then I’m sure he had a nice funeral.) However, his brain is alive and flying in an osprey chopper and annoying people in Warcraft. U.N.I.T.Y. is seven flavors of dead, but doesn’t keep her from walking around, making comments, eating sammiches, punching the daylights out of those who need it, etc.
When the razor carrots dissected him, they may have put him back together afterwards. Or he might have uploaded his consciousness into St. Charlie’s computer system (hopefully not at the same time.) Let us not count Alt!Sergio out until we see further evidence.
Let’s not count him out even with further evidence. This is the Narbonverse, after all.
Well, that answers the question I asked yesterday.
Wait, no it doesn’t. Who ran the override and why?
then who was that voice?
With mad science, dead doesn’t necessarily mean gone.
Just ask Dave.
Or Mell. Or Caliban.

A recording.

When looking at a potential job remember to check medical benefits. When it comes to mad scientists check the resurrection benefits.
Well, if he was vivisected then by definition he’s still alive…:P
Being alive at the start of a vivisection is no guarantee of being alive at the end.
I don’t think razor carrots (or carats for that matter) would be very good at that part
And when did Zeta get her own station?
I imagine the distinction between having the people here trying to kill you and having them not trying to kill you can be quite a subtle one.
Although the things those strangers are holding do look vaguely like weapons.
Isn’t vivisection Doctor Lee’s job? Or did it get handed off to these razor carrots in this happentrack?
Doctor Lee can do a lot, but I’m sure she subcontracts out in situations like this.
Never make a Brundlefly: they only Cronenberg at the end and who can afford to clean the carpets after that?

Nicely done.

I gather there was a certain suspicion about the mystery meat in the MREs…
As General Sal said of what happened to Nick’s body, “You really don’t want to know”.

Technically only UNITY’s host body is dead – she’s a flesh golem possessed by nanites. She herself is arguably alive as a synthetic gestalt organism.
Depending on the construction of the nanites, she may qualify for robot citizenship.
