This is fantastic news!

It's breadbocks, right?

Go send some responsibility droids to go get TQ-42 for letting [ZC-04] live till spawning day. 

This.

This.

Inquire about ZC-04

I predict that this wish will be granted.  There will be a visual examination.  We will be told this immediately before we switch to another character.  And it will be completed immediately before we switch back.

Shh, don't give him ideas now, we almost had it.

TQ-03, take pictures of jenny so we can look them over at an unspecified time in the near future.

Spoiler: How does white keep everything in her bag? (click to show/hide)

Its silly, but I like it.

Hammerspace, of course.

When that is in motion, we should switch characters again.

I suggest ZC-04.

A woman I know doesn't believe in evolution because she says there's no evidence, and that she can't put algae in a dish and have it evolve into a man. I would've pointed out that we have seen evolution in progress with bacteria becoming resistant to penicillin, and that even the punctuated equilibrium model of evolution doesn't occur anywhere near fast enough to turn algae into an animal (let alone a man) overnight, but I hate getting into arguments about evolution, and her argument would've just been filled with unlogic and contradictions as usual. She can believe what she believes, but she needs to at least learn something on what she's talking about.

The (first) reason your argument would fail almost immediately is because most of the current anti-evolution propaganda includes a micro-evolution clause as it's valid, observable science. ie: bacteria evolve and adapt, but they still remain bacteria. It is only if you get past that stage that you will get into unlogic and contradictions.

/pedantry.

It remains bacteria, but it's not the same strain of bacteria. There's always variation in each generation of organisms, no matter how miniscule, and over time the tiny variations stack and add up into what appears to be an entirely different organism. The variations being so minute that it's hard to exactly pin the point at which one organism becomes another entirely, one might say that it's another species entirely, others may disagree. We use the term species for the generations we see and have found, but everything in between is often overlooked. People often talk about the missing link between man and apes, and that's wrong, because it give the impression of a chain with each link being a different species, when no matter how many you find there will still be a link to find between the others. It's a lot like measurement, there's never an increment small enough, even when you're down to some billionth the size of an atom, it can still be smaller than the one before it.

But like I said,

I hate getting into arguments about evolution

So let's just get back to being miserable, then.
