I’m guessing then that wasn’t a regular cup of Earl Grey Tea … it was probably just programmed code for something else
Why do I have the feeling that the cure is more drugs?
Just use the teleporter to remove the traumatized parts of his brain. Or something. They have space magic level technology. Who’s to say?
