The Nerding

The HA find themselves on a mission by sheer unexpected fate once again through the world of fandom. They discover that there is an entire race of nerds known as the Nerids of Planet Neridia. The Nerids are excitable technophiles, enthusiasts, and appropriators that do anything on par with a movie, becoming a Teadr 1.5 race in the process. But their technology is not just derived from experience of what they do, but their homeworld used to be a scientific colony for another Teadr 1 race known as the Umygmans, who are humanoid nudibranch/sea cucumber echinoderms that were a carefree race that were the pinnacle of geekdom and yet they died off in the same fashion as in The Matrix combined with Wall-E, dying as a result of becoming lazy and letting technology do all their work after little to nothing was left in a world of discovery. But they discover from a Tamma anthropologist named Violante that they didn't die, but go into suspended animation until they wake up in a new world for discovery in a time called 'The Nerding'. But Obody, dispite having a reformed life, has found himself cohersed to side with another Tamma named Gravious U. Ncoolio, who aims to have the Umygmans as normal beings and not 'waste their lives by being geeks', unaware that it's helped them advance in the first place and doing so would definitely make them die through their own technology. Thing is, while Obody takes that into great consideration, Gravious ultamately proves to be an uncaring prick and wants to go through with it anyway, going behind nilist logic that "If being dead means being normal, then why the hell not"? going with "No skin off of my nose" arguements and bringing up that "they're considered dead anyway, so why not make it accreate?". This sparked an admidient betrayal from Obody from it and kicked Gravious in the crotch and to fell to his doom onto the generator that powered the machine, killing him in the process and compromising the the program that is helping the race. Now the Lougers and the HA, and a regretful Obody, must save this race from system failure.
