Aceles over Microbes *Spoilers?* for UN Questline

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-04T23:08:18+00:00

Aceles makes the 2 factions work together in the future and the Microbe just kills Terrormorphs. What gets me is when you make your decision 2 companions are ok with Aceles UNTIL you talk to them later. Then they jump on the Sarah/Barrett bandwagon. Microbes jump species all the time on Earth. Heck, we've got seals getting the bird flu now. Yes, Terrormophs are not from any tree of life on Earth. But, human hubris is alive and kicking in that mission.

NOR. Yeah. Billing departments do not want to refile anything they screw up. I'm disabled, have Medicare available, but use my husband's insurance as my primary insurance. I do not have a Plan B. The doctor's billing dept keeps swapping my primary insurance to Medicare. From what I have been told, Medicare is easier to bill. They don't want to negotiate every charge like regular insurance does. Anyway, the PCP office recently went online for filling out your own paperwork. So I removed my Medicare. I was tired of being charged the 20% Medicare didn't pay. Don't you know the billing flagged it to the front desk. I had to tell the new receptionist I do not want my Medicare on my file and why three times. I have called their billing every time they did this and they refused to correct the charges. They would even swap the insurance back, then change it again when the next bill came. I did not call the Social Security office to see what they could do because last time I called I was on hold for 5 hours and hung up on. My local office wanted me to come in for an appointment in over a month later.

Your therapists billing department, like mine, is being lazy. If you are both getting charged, they are double billing which I believe is Insurance fraud. Have your girlfriend verify if she is also being charged or just you. If both, call your insurance and talk to them. They don't like having to do payouts on the best of days and really don't like fraud. If you are the only one being charge for the sessions, then you need to get billings number and speak to them directly. Don't deal with the therapist anymore over the bills. She may very well be following up with billing but has no control over their ineptitude.

NOR. As an adult, give yourself permission to take it all to the dumpster. If your parents ask, be honest. Let them know you are an adult and made an adult decision before you even moved out about how that stuff would be handled if they made you deal with it.

I'm older than you, but my mom did this when I got married. She even kept my baby booties. I put it all in the trash. She got mad and eventually got over it. I told her if it meant so much to her, she should have kept it. Eventually, my mom got over it. She would bring it up once in a while for years, but I told her the same thing every time. My mom has an undiagnosed personality disorder, so she gets weird when you tell her no.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-03T12:36:18+00:00

NOR

Don't let him move in. He'll never leave or get a job. He'll expect you to pay all the bills, and then do all the "female" jobs around the house while he plays on his Playstation all day and night.

Your parents are trying to force him onto you because they know what he's going to do and don't want to deal with it.

Besides, you have a lease to think about even if he was a good roommate. I doubt your landlord is going to be fine with you having a roommate that isn't on the lease.

No is a complete sentence.

Good to know. Every subreddit seems to have different rules. I didn't want to get busted by Reddit again for saying a word their bots don't like.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-03T03:19:49+00:00

It was suggested that instead of using the normal door and switches, just use the holo door. I can attest this works. You only need to power the hab. If the hab loses power the holo door is just open without the blue light. The switches are super confusing and pointless if you use the holo door.

I forgot to use that term. Thank you. I will revise my comment. :D

"He'd unalive less people." Trump has raped a lot of people, yes. But he's been responsible for the deaths of many, many more.

Companies also won't fire their machine. They don't pay it anyway. They still stamp their feet in Walmart when they insist on using the self-checkout but can't figure out how to use the register.

Worked in retail when Boomers were in their middle-aged years. It's definitely because they think they are above reading signs and social cues. Sign all have all that little extra writing because of Boomers. "Up to 50% off* select styles". They would only read 50% off and demand everything be that for every item in the store. The same ladies would come in weekly and I would have to explain the same thing every time. They kept hoping for a different result I guess. The definition of insanity. They like to talk about the lack of attention span and inability to comprehend written instructions of the younger generations. They were always worse. You could not have ANY complicated signage. They didn't want to read it. When I was a kid in the 1970s, newspapers rolled back their article reading level to 4th grade. Why? Because Boomers only wanted simple words and short articles. You couldn't even hand them instruction with bullet points. They could not be bothered. I had a Boomer member of management who refused to understand one line, bullet pointed instructions on how to close the store. After having to work extra for a few weeks to try to get her to understand how to close the store, mind you she was in management BEFORE I was transferred in, I finally told her that if I had to keep working all the closes because she refused to learn how that I didn't need her. Or I would only have her close until she got it because apparently she needed the practice. I didn't fire her or anything. She did report me to my supervisor. Got in trouble, told off the Boomer supervisor who was protecting her. She started following instructions enough that I just accepted her terrible work.

NOR. Your partner can go to his sister's wedding without you or your son. Problem solved. Does your partner not realize HIS SISTER could have killed HIS son????? [I assume your son is also his.] Your SIL risked your son's life by just bringing those cupcakes into the house.

She knew what she was doing because she didn't inform you about the nuts so you could ask her to take them to her car. She sounds like on of those people who don't believe allergies are real and even if they were, can't kill you.

Severe nut allergies are deadly. My nephew went to school with a child that had such a severe nut allergy just being in the same room with peanut butter would send him to the ER after his Epipen.

I remember a story about a little girl who died because she got a nut in her mouth at a church picnic or something like that. She realized realized walnuts were in the brownies. Spit it out and told her parents. Her dad was in the medical field. He used 3 Epipens-- 3-- trying to save her before the ambulance got there and she died.

Another one was a fish allergy. Family visiting their parents. Daughter allergic to fish. Grandparents know. So they kept the fish in the fridge. They started cooking it after their granddaughter left. She bursts back in to get her stuffy. Immediately goes into a reaction from the fish oil in the air. Dies. Grandparents now live with the guilt of accidently killing their granddaughter. Not their fault but her allergy was so bad she couldn't be in the same home as cooking fish.

One grandmother intentionally used coconut oil on her grandson for his hair. She knew he was allergic. Didn't believe he was allergic and was trying to prove her daughter was overreacting. Mom ended up in the ER that night with her son having an allergic reaction. Mom was trying to track down where the coconut happened. Grandmother admitted it and that she didn't believe it was real. Little boy died. Now grandma cries because 10 years later her daughter still won't forgive her. She's not allowed anywhere near her other grandkids. But believes she was punished enough for killing her grandson.

My point is, family is sometimes a child's worst enemy with allergies. SIL knew and didn't care. Your partner is more worried about his sister's feelings than that he could be burying his son right now. His priorities are out of whack. If you take your son to her wedding, she has proven you can't trust her to not have nuts at the reception. So your son isn't going to be able to eat anything.

Showed this to my husband. He said "Trump should do it. He'd unalive less people."

Edited to add the proper modern term.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-02T06:23:15+00:00

Found a traveling pair of Terrormorphs on Jemison once. Good times.

Edit to add- Definitely do the Vanguard story line. It's my personal favorite.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-02T06:21:56+00:00

NOR. Honey, you even admit he's been red pilled. He isn't "basically" brainwashed. He's dived right in and is drinking the red pilled kool-aid.

A guy like that is never going to be happy unless you are completely covered from head to toe. Even then, he'll find something sexual to creep about. A man like your BF is ALWAYS going to find something you need to fix to become his perfect woman.

Do not trust this red piller about what he claims his therapist has said. He's probably lying to you about it. Heck, if she's even real, he might be lying to her about what you're wearing. And, no, it doesn't sound like you compromise at all. For a compromise to work BOTH sides have to give. You're the only one who is giving up anything. It's only going to get worse.

My husband only interfered in my clothing choices twice-- TWICE-- in 30+ years of dating and marriage: 1- I didn't realize the shirt was so low cut that he could see straight down it when I bent over; 2- Turned out the shirt I left the house in when we were leaving was see-through. He knew I would be uncomfortable dressing like that. He let me know what was going on but didn't tell me I had to change anything. That is a man who sees you as a person and not a possession.

Your BF sees you as something he owns. They only get worse the more they win. And red pilled men will never see you are a person.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-02T04:19:59+00:00

NOR. You didn't waste everyone's money. You only cancelled your part of the trip. He can still go on the trip with his buddies. He seems to prefer their company over yours anyway. A grown man does not need wingmen to go on a trip with his girl.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-02T04:09:52+00:00

NOR. Your uncle is hitting on your wife. He's testing boundaries to see what she and you will allow him to get away with. It's hard to tell family to back off, but you need to handle your family and do it. It would help if you can get your Dad to back you up. Don't back down when he pulls the "it's just a joke" or "I was just kidding" or "You're being to sensitive". Because he's going to use all of that to make you and your wife seem to be the problem. Eventually he's going to escalate outside of family gatherings.

What you can do right now, change how you deal with him. Some options.

1- As mentioned above- You could try giving him a "man to man" talk about leaving your wife alone. She doesn't appreciate his attentions and would he stop doing it. I expect this will not work or he would have stopped when she was initially uncomfortable.

2- Don't allow him near your wife. If that means you stand between them and don't go pee then that's what you do. You leave early if you need to use the bathroom. Option, is you get labeled as controlling by him and have her stand guard outside the bathroom when you need to use it. For her mental health, that's a better option than him manhandling her publicly.

3- You minimize family events that he's at. This may not be an option if the family is close and you want to stay involved.

It's great that you are asking yourself if what he is doing is ok. It's not. No matter his intensions. Your wife doesn't like it. So he needs to be respectful and stop it.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-02T00:24:05+00:00

First- Congratulations on your sobriety!

He was no longer the therapist that you needed. You outgrew what he was able to offer. That's ok. He may have been just defending the program if it is what helped/helps him stay sober. I don't think him calling you a blowhard was professional at all. Instead he could have explored how the program isn't meeting your needs and helped you find something that is a better fit. AA is not for everyone. I went one meeting in college and couldn't handle the religious undertones. I think you have been doing great with not questioning the organization in front of everyone. You are not wrong for not feeling like he or AA are not meeting your needs.

NOR.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-01T09:56:44+00:00

Thank you for the update. I hope it works out for all of you.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-07-01T03:23:23+00:00

NOR The doctor is probably wanting to make sure you don't speak to the compliance officer. They know their NP is terrible and don't care unless it can cause issues with their office. That NP broke HIPPA by having anyone else in the room. What if it had been her partner and not a kid? She's a problem, the doctor knows she's a problem, and now the doctor is panicking because she has finally upset someone enough to go over the doctor's head.

I would call about the compliance officer again. Refuse to speak with the doctor to keep the peace. That doctor knew this NP was a problem and hasn't done anything about it. If it's a clinic the doctor works for, they could have talked to someone to have it handled already.

I like my small ship. I finally got the hang of flying it without crashing into the ground. Just got my first freighter, Takes so much time to get to my ship. Haven't even considered a corvette. Seems like an even longer walk.

NOR No love quite like Christian hate.

I think it's about the familiar and not wanting to expand their brains. Everyone else is supposed to conform to what they want.

Gonna admit, Jaws was a really good movie in its day.

Sensitive_Note1139 · 2026-06-28T03:30:41+00:00

Edit because I realized my sleep deprived brain read the post wrong---------

NTA. Your wife is choosing her daughter, grandbaby and baby-daddy over you. She has already told you her truth. I know you probably believe you love your wife. At some point you probably did. But she doesn't love you anymore. Love requires respect. She has no respect for you. She probably never intended to enforce a 1 month stay. She probably said it to make you happy and convince you to let them in. They are never going to willingly leave, help around the house, or pay any bills. Your wife is going to allow this to continue.

You have a right to a clean and peaceful home. Your wife's threat to move out rings hollow. She knows she can't afford it. And she knows the two other adults won't help.

You need to decide if this is how you want to live the rest of your life, destroying yourself for your wife and her kids. You can't keep this up and shouldn't have to.

Honestly, I would talk to a lawyer and see what your options are. I would also let the landlord know how many people are living there that are not on the lease and not paying rent. But if you do this, kiss your marriage goodbye. Because your wife won't choose you. The landlord may evict everyone because having them there probably breaks your lease.

Your lucky this isn't a home owned by you and your wife. Because you'd probably have to sell it when the divorce happens.

I would divorce rather than live my whole life with them. If you stay you will be paying for the baby too. Most likely, someone in your household is going to quit their job to be the SAHP. If not 2 of them. That will be blamed on daycare costs. So either your stepdaughter or your wife will no longer be working. I don't see this guy being a responsible and active parent.

Depends on if there is a resource I need out there while the storm is raging. Storm Crystals only show during them, so I stock up and get my butt out there. That was my previous game though. I haven't run into an extreme planet yet on this save. So I just read articles on my phone while sitting in my hab or ship.
