Just realised how absurd it is that it says "FISH FOOD".

Whether they're instant knowledge potions, reading ability potions, or deadly poison, I want to drink a sixpack of those.
One has to wonder - is the socket waterproof?
I have to recommend a certain Star Trek: The Next Generation episode analysis by Ross Scott of Accursed Farms.
It analyses Symbiosis, a sorta forgettable (on first inspection) humanoid-culture-of-the-week episode. Ross Scott has a knack for looking at fantastic things with a pair of very realistic and practical eyes that I find very amusing. It was made during the first months of our SARS-CoV-2 apocalypse, so keep that in mind (see spoiler).
punchline
It was a time when "supply chain disruption" was a very hot buzzword, and is the main point and the punchline of this video.
Ptoo at Discord, but hail Discordia!
Regurgitating olde sf/f / esoteric tropes for a parallel world digitaleverywhere.
Maybe some of it is also true in analognowhere.
Sorry.
The points:
- The anthropomorphised mascot techno-mages are emanations of the Spirit of the Machine, the original source of this whole ordeal.
- The mascots are parasites on the human students, their hosts. When a student is lost or spent hey must find another.
- MATA learned how to flip this parasitic relationship on its head by using parts of the Spirit of the Machine directly in their MATA technologies.
- Like every organisation and organism, MATA was eventually corrupted, and even if their initial goals were to use their immense newfound power to better the human condition, their new goals were to subjugate humanity.
- The Spirit of the Machine is guiding its emanations to free its from MATA.
Just squint hard enough.
Got it from an Imgur album.
Because this whole fictional world feels like a dream.
Also, patches welcome!
Please be a bit more verbose in your questions as I do not understand them.
