Oh, hey, Tony!
And not, like, his dad, as I’d briefly mistakenly tagged the corpse yesterday. Â See, I saw the rip in the corpse’s shirt, and assumed it was a tie. Â Which Big Boss wore most of the time. Â But he wasn’t wearing a tie the day he died anyway.
But this brings up an important question. Â Like, resurrection chambers resurrect only the body. Â Naked. Â Head Alien got a suit fashioned for him by the machine only ‘cuz he needed one to breathe on our planet. Â (And he’d changed into one of his own design at some point in the interim.) Â But, like, Tony wouldn’t need that. Â He’d be rebirthed as naked as the day God yanked him out of his mom. Â So, uh, I guess Head Alien dressed Tony, somehow, in clothing identical to the ones he was in when he died. Â And apparently DURINGÂ Tony’s frenzied fistfight with Sal.
Head Alien is a champ.

Yeah, Willis, I’m not buying it. That explanation of how Tony got dressed is so much garb-age.
So you’re trashing his theory?
I think that was just the dressing-down.
At least the process by which he derived the explanation was completely exposed.
It does kinda look like the body in the tube is wearing a tie, and it also looks like Tony, though I’m pretty sure we’ve never seen Tony wear a tie ever.
I can see the tie, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a rip in his shirt.
It’s a tie, because what else does a corpse wear to a funeral?
I forget who’s in the other tube. Is it intentional they’re not tagged? Or are they?
I notice Tony’s tag was removed from yesterday’s too. Is this a decision not to tag spoilers, or not to tag corpses?
Corpses who’ve been resurrected don’t get tagged. The resurrected person in the new body steals the tag from the medical waste.
Example: Sal’s parents were not resurrection-machined, so their dead bodies get tagged as themselves.
Counter example: Yesterday and today, with Tony.
The DNA of inanimate objects was cloned as well. WHAT’S HARD TO UNDERSTAND?!
Nanotech!
I mean, they can download your Tony
But I don call it….oh oh! Oh okay!
You wouldn’t DOWNLOAD a TONY…
His shirt must be made from 100% organic materials. Including the Yellow SEMMF tape-stripe.
oh damn.
So… this means it’s been at least 18 months since HA died? MM wouldn’t have rezzed Tony, so HA must have done it after he was brought back. But how did he get Tony’s body? Grave robbing an embalmed body? Ewww.
Why 18? I assumed the Denver invasion occurs right after HA starts a fight with Sal, which occurs right after HA is resurrected. I’m totally wrong, aren’t I?
I assume it was automatic. I don’t think there was anybody there to tell it to resurrect Head Alien either.
MM and the other Aliens put HA in the machine, after SEMME left, and stupidly didn’t claim the body. 9 months to rez HA, then sometime after that, he decides to rez Tony, but has to go get the body, since Tony didn’t die at the Martian embassy, and had been buried years before.
I thought that the Martian tech automatically brought any dead bodies left in the embassy to the resurrection chamber? MM and the Aliens couldn’t get back in, it was just that the HA was left in there for the machines to clean up and resurrect.
Hmm. But then wouldn’t Sal’s parents have been auto-rezzed as well? (they were the ones in the tubes that fell on Big Boss, right?)
Those two bodies weren’t brought inside.
HA didn’t have anything to do with Tony’s rez. Big Boss had the body brought to the embassy so he could rez his son. The mission failed but the automation grabbed Tony and HA and rezzed em both at the same time.
Wait, why do you say he must have clothed Tony during his fight with Sal? Why not before? When was Tony resurrected? Was he literally resurrected while Sal was fighting H.A? Did he literally come out of the tube swinging? And how long have Tony and Sal been fighting? How long does it take to fly from the Bermuda Triangle to Denver? And how did HA get the fighting duo onto the ship while they were still fighting? And WHY??
I have a lot of questions.
It’s easy. You put really stretchy clothes around the tube, and then when the person pops out they are automatically dressed. I think they did that in Schlock Mercenary or something.
I think that was just a big dress being wrapped around a tube to keep someone from being exposed when they regrew. The tubes don’t really shatter when the person comes out typically, so presumably she had to get dressed the normal way (in something she’d actually wear) later.
You know as creepy as that is it also doesn’t suspend disbelief because Head Alien was always really weirdly preoccupied with Tony even as much as he honed in on the twins.
Like, you know, the way people like to shake down ants in an ant farm if those people are horrible monsters.
For context, in this metaphor Tony would be the very first ant in the ant farm and therefore especially fun to shake
Maybe he has a clothes beam like Piccolo. They are both aliens, after all.
Maybe there was a clothing replicater feature that everyone kept missing, except for this one time.

Add-on that makes clothes for the body. 😛
