FILTER TO THE GUARDIANS

Alright, we're back on Earth. You know what that means? Time to give Mantis a grand old tour. What do you think? We jump in the car, grab some McD's, maybe drive a few hours, hit up Six Flags? Or should we stay close to home?

Regardless, McD's right??? I'm craving a Quarter Pounder like crazy. And the Happy Meals got Trolls now. We got to get every fucking one. Or at least the ones that look like Trolls. I don't know what the hell that pink reggae giraffe thing is.

These dinosaurs don't like me.

This is a world from that old Twencen computer game series, isn't it? I've seen clips of the games in different museums and in coding classes. Xina had a couple of th

I already have a blaster. What's wrong with having a few extra DH-17s?

I've been giving it some thought lately. And maybe we should look into getting some group activities going outside the cruise's schedule.

Because if I get invited to one more seminar to buy a thousand credit watch, I might just wind up with one.

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED FOR MY BIRTHDAY

FILTER TO GROOT

Hey, pal.

Want to put this place in the rear view mirror for a bit?

I must say I considered killing whoever I needed until one of you fools could send me home, but the idea of conquering a fresh new world is far more appealing than returning to one I already rule.

I also know how tiresome heroic fools can be.

Consider this your one and only warning to stay out of my way.

I'm halfway through the great 2020 Kevin Bacon watch. Of what I've seen so far, got to say, Tremors has been the most fun. There's been some duds, of course, and I think I can firmly say I'll never be watching Hollow Man again, but all and all? Been an enjoyable start to the year.

Anyone got a suggestion for which I should do next? No real rhyme or reason to how I've been picking my choices thus far. I've mostly been going off the cover art.

Personally? I'm eying R.I.P.D. Seems a nice tone shift after Stir of Echoes.

You three find it as unsettling as I do that every other person who showed up in that mass cluster with us is now gone, in one fell swoop, and yet we're still here?

I have been contemplating the nature of humanity and bringing back good person lessons. Quite frankly, I thought you were all mostly likely walking trashbags that would give me ample research opportunity for my own personal project I've been working on. And while many of you do in fact do terrible things, I have been humbled. You're not completely awful and your potential for self-sabotage and suffering doesn't amuse me any more like I thought it would.

The problem is you, as humans, are very psychologically fragile. So if I give advice on how to be good for the sake of benefiting you both in the every day and for your eternal salvation, likely it'll be met with the same result as when I gave perfectly reasonable good advice in an effort to make you feel insecure and give into your worst instincts. Reverse psychology is a heck of a thing.

After much thought, I've decided instead to give Bad Person Lessons. I feel this will be much easier to grasp. So without further ado, your first bad person lesson.

Your Intentions Matter.

Now, I don't want to get into a slippery slope of what ifs. Nor do I want to even try and get into the complicated algorithm and point system that weighs each and every one of your actions. We'll just keep this simple.

1. If you do a good deed for ulterior motives (like one-upmanship or a crass attempt to improve your Good Person Score®, for example) than the deed is not really good. Your motives should be pure and you should expect nothing in return for your good deed.

2. Conversely, if you do something bad, it will almost always be bad. But sometimes your intention makes it less bad than it would be if you were acting out of pure selfishness and evil. But only sometimes.

This concludes your first bad person lesson.

FILTER TO GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY

We're pulling out of port on Sunday. What do you all say to coming together before we leave and going on one last adventure around Middle Earth? I know I'm not terribly looking forward to another couple weeks at Sea so we oughta take advantage while we still can.

Many seem to be excited about where we are going next. What is so special about this Middle Earth?

FILTER TO YONDU

You got a minute, old man?

You know, at first glance, looking around those sunken ships sounded like it'd be fun. But I bet it is swarming with people and that definitely doesn't sound appealing. Has anyone given them a glance? Is it too crowded?

Nothing else, could be cool to see a mermaid. Think one might end up looking like Daryl Hannah?

Good evening. I'm Princess Allura of Altea. This would be my very first time visiting Earth, and I must say... I expected an entirely different kind of greeting other than being told I won't be let out of one room for two quintants.

Smaller than I'd like, but it'll do.

I could [...] maybe use some help getting back to town. Anyone got a horse trailer by chance? And possibly know how to wrangle a horse?

Hypothetically?

GUARDIANS + NEBULA

Having spoken to Sam, I've decided to use something that will make me appear Terran. He believes it will help now that things are becoming... tense. Nebula, I do not expect you to do the same, but I hope you will consider it.

Quill. You know Terrans the best of us all. How badly do you think this could escalate?

This is by far the cleanest prison I have ever experienced. How many have managed to ever escape it?

I feel like I pissed the universe off today. First I got attacked and then it felt like it was hot as balls walking down main street. I mean, I know it's Texas, but holy smokes.

All I wanted was a Happy Meal.
