Could Uzi maybe give Cyn a new voicebox so she can speak? Or is the Absolute Solver voice just embedded in Cyn's system?
Unfortunately for everyone, the Voice is permanent, Uzi tried a few times to get rid of it but couldn’t.
Which sucks considering the voice startles both Uzi and V, which is another reason cyn speaks with bubbles.

How did Arti cause Hunter's rot? Isn't it a result of genetic decay?
I’ll be answering this one, because my boy Hunter is an unreliable narrator lol. (It’ll be a bit long, sorry bout that) (it will also be pretty sad)
So the thing is, she didn’t cause his rot.
After Arti left, Hunter wasn’t as efficient because it was harder to do missions without her help. NSH decided to try and modify Hunter to be, as he once phrased it, “more like Artificer.” Aside from being a huge hit to Hunter’s self esteem, this was also a pretty risky decision. Essentially, NSH was willing to put Hunter’s health and life on the line for his own convenience. Father of the year.
The risk didn’t end up paying off, because NSH made a mistake and ended up giving Hunter the rot. When he realized Hunter’s new sickness was fatal, he sent Hunter off to revive moon before it was too late. Hunter managed to make it to moon, before crawling away to die an agonizing death alone.
Except he didn’t die.
Arti found him, Judge purified him and then Hunter woke up in the colony, still weak from his brush with permadeath but no longer rotting.
Hunter blames Arti for the rot because in his mind, if she hadn’t of left, NSH wouldn’t have needed to try and modify Hunter. (Bear in mind NSH never needed to in the first place.) Hunter’s brain has warped everything just enough so that he can believe that NSH cares about him. Hunter knows Arti doesn’t, because she abandoned him without a second thought. But he’s clinging desperately with all the delusion he can muster up to the idea that NSH, his dad, cares about him. For Hunter, coming to terms with the fact that it was NSH’s fault, not Arti’s, means also coming to terms with the fact that nobody in the entire world cares about him.
The thing is, Hunter’s wrong. Gourmand cares about him, Survivor cares about him, and even Arti cares about him a little bit now too. But when you’ve been wrong about that before, it’s scary to think that people might actually care about you. Hunter thinks that accepting that people care about him will end up getting him hurt again.
He’s so deep in his denial that he almost fully believes that it is Arti’s fault he had the rot. There’s a tiny bit of him that knows it isn’t true, but he’s ignoring it as much as he can.

Question, how many of you had authority figures blame you for their incompetence or shortsightedness while you were growing up?
For example: you're cooking with said authority figure. You're a child. They're an adult. The two of you are cooking pasta. The pasta boils over. The authority figure, an adult, blames you, the child, for not paying attention.
Did this or a similar scenario ever happen to you?

Life/project update
I'll try to keep this as positive but as honest as I can.
I finished school in March for computer programming, but job searching is on hold because I got an offer to traditionally publish my Fissure comic. Because of the format and low resolution of the original comic, it has to be completely redrawn, but I'm taking this opportunity to also add some panels for context. The goal is for this short-run comic to come out in issues in 2024.
As a result of this ^, I've taken work off for the summer so I can devote all the time I can to the comic. Also, almost all other side projects have gone on the back burner. For example, I do want to come back to the Artemis Fowl Otome Game and do something with the concept, because I love it and the characters we created. However, I don't have the creative or emotional capacity atm.
Really, it's everything I can do right now to not curl up into a ball and wait for life to be over. I thought it would help if I got rid of some of the perceived pressure I'm feeling which is intimidating me into a vegetative state.
I'm really excited about this comic, though. I loved making it the first time (I did most of the work in quarantine 2020), and am excited to revisit it and release it in hard copy form.
Side note, the comic is about two black-presenting (one is an alien) people, and I am not black, so I'm looking for a black person who'd be interested in looking over the copies for inconsistencies in art (as far as the characters are concerned) and sensitivity issues. I don't anticipate many, since the comic is short and close knit, but I also don't want to assume. If you're interested, please shoot me a message and we'll talk!
Thank you for reading, so some of the imagined pressure I feel might be lessened.
