Damn, I could use a med patch. Karking headache right behind my forehead...
Pain in this area is often due to tension, eye strain, or sinus problems. The first seems to be a chronic condition of our existence. The second might be from extended periods of datapad use. The third might be due to allergens experienced on Pantora. Er... any foreign planets that might stimulate histamine reactions or common cold viruses.
Yeah. Probably that one.
"that one" is unspecific when three distinct options were provided, with additional subsets of potential causes. Perhaps a brain scan in addition to the patch would be wise to consider.

Listen Echo canonically loves pointing out the obvious and also dad jokes so all I can think is someone going
“Thank you, Captain Obvious.”
and him going
“Actually, its ARC Trooper Obvious”
It's ARC Corporal Obvious, actually. You're showing a rank disregard of my hard work and training. 😏
I can't believe I'm related to you.
Closely, Fives. Very, very closely.
Should give me a medal for that.

this frame is always so funny to me because tech is literally RIGHT UP against hunter’s helmet/face and why?? he was shot in the chest?? imagine the last thing u see is tech’s big ole eyes staring you down
I think I had a nightmare like this
I would think it would only take him waking you up like that once to cause lifelong trauma.
My uncle did that to me once. He learned his lesson.
You would think @exceptionally-minded would have learned that lesson by now. Our shrieks don’t seem to phase him.
Simple overreactions from hypersensitive soldiers.

Crosshair: My cold dead heart feels no affection for anyone.
Omega: *sneezes*
Crosshair: ARE YOU SICK?? WHERE'S YOUR JACKET? SOMEONE GET A DOCTOR

I'm such a good teacher
You're also the easiest to piss off.
Wait-
Apparently, Crosshair is too good for his own good.
You haven't pointed at anything in the last couple hours
The ratio is declining. I'm worried
It is increasingly tiresome for such an action to be met with condescension, exasperation, or ridicule; therefore, I have opted to expend my energy on other, more productive endeavors.
I will draw attention to an item when I find one worth the extension of my finger.

Tell me a random headcanon that you have about Tech from The Bad Batch
To adopt Echo's clever idea of "tags of the week", I believe this one stands out to me most. However, it is only Monday, so perhaps it is a premature selection. Regardless, I would like to acknowledge the insightfulness of this "headcanon".

This Tech Tuesday, I would like to announce my starring role in in the upcoming film The Fast and The Furious 11: Coruscant Drift.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

When it's getting close to bedtime and you have an early shift at work but @kark-trooper-echo somehow asked @senator-on-a-venator on a date
what do you recommend for stress relief? (herbs, cognitive)
Due to the various ways that individual bodies react to both chemical and organic substances, it may be surprising that the most reliable methods are some of the most long-standing. Time in the sun(s), consistent exercise, good nutrition, healthy sleep patterns, and a regular practice of meditation and general mindfulness.
Perhaps not as attractive or simple as a pharmaceutical or herbal solution, but since there is entirely too much individual variation in response, it is the most broadly applicable option I could offer.
Did you see the Solar Eclipse the other day? What are your thoughts on it if you did?
Unfortunately, I was not on world, but I have had the opportunity to view such phenomena on other planets, including one that consisted of two moons converging in front of the primary sun. If you were in the projected path of this particular one, what were your thoughts?

Hello there, Tech!
I hope you are having a good day, and have a good week as well.
I was wondering whether you would have the time to explain some of your earliest, pre-war days were like? What kind of training did you and your brothers go through, and were your brothers there for you post-training?
As in, did you and your brothers rely on each other for comfort while growing up? Who, if any of them, would you yourself want to go to in times of duress?
Thank you for your time, Tech, and I apologize for bothering you at this time with ceaseless drivel if it is deemed as such.
A typical day for myself and my brothers consisted of the basic training we all needed to become soldiers. We were educated in the use of various weaponry, given tactical training, and run through battle scenarios that simulated what we might be exposed to in the field.
We also separated daily for individual training that focused on the strengths we obtained through our mutations. I was given additional education in a plethora of subjects to develop my exceptionally active mind. Wrecker was pushed to discover his physical limits and took extra courses to further his aptitude for explosives and demolition. Crosshair was almost constantly at the range. Hunter was taken through his paces as a tracker.
At the end of the day, we were always quite tired. But we took comfort in being able to wind down together with stories about what we had done that day and with the odd bit of tomfoolery in our barracks.

Hey Tech! What holidays do you and the batch celebrate? And if you had to pick one what would be your favourite?
Well, my favourite used to be Brothers' Day (May 24th) but due to recent events, that has been displaced by Siblings' Day (April 10th).

Thank you for sharing the info on the mechanics of hyperspace! I wonder, do you think hyperspace would be the fastest most efficient space travel compared to using Mass Relays (see vidgame mass effect) or slipspace (see vidgame halo) or warpspeed (see holovid star trek).
I apologise if this doesn’t make the most sense, this is not my first language.
On whether hyperspace or warp speed is faster, the answer is simple. Hyperspace travel is faster because it takes place within an alternate dimension that allows travel at several times the speed of light. Warp drive also allows speeds greater than the speed of light, but not to the extent of hyperspace.
I do not know anything about Slipspace. For a comparison between Mass Relays and Hyperspace, I would ask @clone-effect-nexus / @art-of-the-twistedstitcher.
