Uncontacted
Toxictive for Amanda Palmer
Amanda, like her counterpart Avery, is a long-time professor of anthropology. However, while Avery spends his time reading books, Amanda goes out into the field, studying uncontacted peoples and advocating for them. She’s fierce, adventurous, and confident.
[Here, Amanda makes her voice heard by standing up to the military]
"Excuse me, but why is this a military operation and not a humanitarian one? We are dealing with a potentially uncontacted and vulnerable population and you want to show up with a strike force? Do you want to learn about these people or dominate them?"
[This is a cutting remark Amanda spits at Avery in an argument.]
"Did it ever occur to you that maybe there isn't an answer to what's wrong with you? That maybe you're just crazy?"
[This takes place at the end of an argument between Amanda and Avery. They are about to have a falling out. She's desperate, wants him to stay. She loves him.]
"I won't abandon these people. They don't know what's coming. Stay with me. I don't care that this island isn't what you thought it was. I don't care that you killed an alien. Just stay with me. Stay with them. If you really want to help, that's all you need to do."
