Soo, probably a bad moment to bring this up, but… Is the sentient, trigger-happy, xenophobic gun wired to transmit signals to Topsider Colonies, because if so the question of this being an alternate universe or not suddenly becomes moot
Kid, you just saw a half-deranged humanoid cat pull a lit grenade from his underwear. Unless you wanna end up tied to a giant rocket, Wile E. Coyote style, I suggest you keep the quips to yourself.
Wouldn’t his gun be on the Topsider’s side? Maybe he’s negotiating…
