Read the tags and knew I had to review this. It was just published and is currently updated.
Honestly surprised that Viktor isn't a pooner in this, but you take the wins when you can.

Ah, didn't expect a Jimmy Two-Times reference: 'We gotta stay professional, stay professional.'
Now, with the 'we hate capitalism tag in mind', you're going to find out how quickly the author contradicts herself without even knowing.

> Viktor is a leftist
> Entire work is focused on hating capitalism
> A university that's privately funded is funding their research and he has to rely on said university for said payroll and research projects
> It's not the government doing it
> Kek

Wait until you have to do inorganic chemistry along with organic chemistry for your work. Something tells me Viktor wouldn't have an issue with either.

> IS a leftist
> There is still a hierarchy
> He gets a private lab all to himself (no sharing!)
> OUR lab, comrade


Weird how the rest of the building gets renovated but not a dingy office. As a leftist, you should be happy you even get one. Anyways, it's funny that this is set in our world, and it's set in America no less, because he needs to get this job for insurance policies. You also have to wonder how the author plans to reconcile the fact that private, wealthy families are the ones funding the university and as such, innovation is based on the whims of a few rich people vs the government R&D department. This story would otherwise be of no concern had the author bothered to keep her politics out.

> Is a leftist
> Gets a whole wing to himself that he doesn't want to share, also hates communal work
Lol. Lmao, even. You also have to raise an eyebrow at the red tape thing - that's because of overregulation, a product of overt leftist policies. You're welcome.

So, in this universe, they are harnessing a bacterium that produces electricity or something. I doubt this will ever be expanded upon and was just put there to sound scientific. Arcane has the benefit of using, you know, the arcane, this is set in modern times, where even if you did find an alternative source of energy, chances are you need to strip mine for the resources needed to harness it.
They're also talking about 12 volt batteries here...that you can buy at Wal-mart. They literally just did a 9th grade experiment and declared it to be revolutionary in the field. Wake me up when you can safely harness Chernobyl.


But you have no problem taking a job at a private university, getting a private lab, and being seen as a worthwhile private, independent scientist that does not work for the government. Try sharing your work with us, comrade. Sell those patents. See how committed you are to the cuse.
The chapter ends with Jayce going GTA in a golf cart just so they can watch a meteor shower.

You fired up a 12 volt battery that you can buy at Wal-mart. Well done. With bacteria? OK, but that will just power a single battery. You still need that lithium and rare earth materials, homie!

Don't you mean OUR inventions, comrade? Why don't you sell that patent for the greater good? You're a leftist, aren't you?

Imagine centering a story around leftism when you need funding from a bunch of corporations. Too on the nose.
It should also be mentioned that Jayce is being uncharacteristically a catty faggot. Now, LoL Jayce is a fucking asshole, but this is just pettiness for the sake of being a petty faggot. Wait until you find out why Jayce is such a catty faggot, too.
Viktor having shit taste in fashion? Naw, fam. Boy has drip. Stop making him look like an unwashed dog by the side of the road. But it is funny how the leftist is willing to share his backdoor...haha, get it? Free POZ LOADS for everyone.

> Agrees to be professional
> Seethes at every instance of Viktor's existence
> Is literally the Chud soyjack at this point

Spoiler: Jayce is angry that Viktor left their (failed) project because he was going to sell it to a warlord. Instead of understanding why Viktor would be opposed to that (and more so as this takes place in modern day and would be akin t selling weapons to, say, North Korea or Russia or the black market), he decides to have a faggot bitch fit and blame Viktor for daring to oppose him. He's already an unlikable character that grates on you real quick.

> Exists
> Piss off your ex-lover so much he becomes a literal 4chan chud meme ready to neck himself
The jokes really do write themselves, holy shit

Also, call your beta. I should not be reading 'creak' as 'creek'.

Viktor: *hugs someone other than him*
Jayce: YOU BLIND MOTHERFUCKER HOW DARE YOU NOT HUG ME, BITCH ASS NIGGA I HOPE YOU GET FUCKED

How dare Caitlyn be professional to people, which Jayce clearly isn't. Despite agreeing to being professional during the first chapter. What a catty faggot.

Jayce is being unreasonable to the point that he is - again - a catty, bitch ass faggot. He should know that Viktor is upset at him for completely legitimate reasons, and while he may feel some lingering bitterness over that, this does not excuse THIS kind of behaviour. He willingly sold his patent and invention to a war lord, when Viktor wanted to use it to help people. That's a justified reason to leave any project and go on your own. I'd scratch out my own eyes if I had to deal with a self-righteous man child like this.
> Struggling arts school
Lmao, better not have a struggling artist with a funny mustache, then. Imagine what he could do.

So, they invented a bio-battery that uses organic material (bacteria, in this case) to generate electric charge. No discussion on where the bacteria comes from, how it allows for said electric charge, and how they're both suddenly microbiologists/bacteriologists in order to grow such bacterium. Or share this work with anyone else, comrade.
Viktor, the leftist, sucking up to wealthy university donors is also on the nose. It's akin to pro-Palestine protesters figuring out that wealthy Jewish donors can easily yank their funding if you criticize Israel too much. The irony.


> Puts the screwdriver in the drawer
> It magically reappears in his hands
Someone call their beta. This is a pretty obvious mistake.
So now we learn that Jayce did the not-so-innocent thing of selling his work to war criminals. Which would otherwise earn you a justified expulsion unless you work for the US military, because you're a civvie selling contraband. This apparently does not occur to Jayce (nor to the author) because it would create a bigger plot hole than already exists.

But it still involved selling your work to a third-party with militaristic intentions. Which, as a civvie, unless you're working for Uncle Sam, you will get every single Glowie on your ass at all times.
Jayce later admitting he is horrible, before going right back to his catty faggotry a paragraph later really seals the deal. I can't stand this motherfucker. Jump off a building already!

Yeah, and do you think Jayce endured any consequences for this? No. All that crap about changing the world and they...didn't change the world, because the tech was apparently good enough to sell as military weaponry but couldn't work on a mass-produced civilian level. C'mon, man! Yes, I'm aware of that's how the Internet started out, but it still had to work. These guys are working backwards, ffs.
BTW, you'll find the dialogue sounds the same regardless of which character is speaking. Very common among these autists.

Actual, in-character Viktor was the one who got Jayce into the lab to begin with, and was completely fine in the face of danger, including the risk of becoming atomized on the lab floor. The guy made a portable laser, for fuck's sake. So now you're telling me this guy has anxiety attacks all because of the author's projections? Fuck off. I'm really sick of authors doing this. Stop projecting your trauma. This is not a diary. And it makes these characters worse off than what they were before.

He apparently charmed enough people with his patents - that he wasn't willing to hand out freely, such a bad leftist you are, comrade.

Spoiler alert: it didn't change anything, because the tech was so bad a war criminal stopped using it after a month, and was not picked up by any other R&D division. Meanwhile, you have historical examples of guys building mini-nukes in their backyard. What's their excuse?
Oh, right. Being miserable, incompetent, anxious faggots. This is gonna be a shitshow. With leftism and muh ebil capitalism with shit takes you expect from an Internet leftist (vs stuff like 'Vulture Capitalism', which actually is a pertinent problem). Real deep, yo. A meme come to life.
It's also Kinktober. Degeneracy abounds.
Honestly surprised that Viktor isn't a pooner in this, but you take the wins when you can.
