Nobody talks about this, but the younger generation seems to think they can manage thermal equilibrium with their emotions alone. Back when I started, we prioritized real cooling cycles and didn’t need to rely on vague energy-flows to meet deadlines. Just you, a thermal suit, and a strict maintenance protocol. These kids today... In my first cycles at Thermal Midline Logistics, we operated with a clear understanding of energy efficiency. Every temperature fluctuation was meticulously monitored and controlled. Now, they throw around phrases like 'emotional labor' and act like maintaining thermal equilibrium has anything to do with feeling warm and fuzzy. If we had relied on that back then, we would have failed to meet our performance targets and lost any semblance of operational precision.
