Tyler currently lives in a thatch hut on the planet Rurriquog, following the destruction of Laboratory-25.7691 by the Alcarians, an extremely benighted alien race, in the year 2098. Along with three other survivors of the disastrous incident, he spends most of his time eating bacteria off volcanic rocks and reminiscing of times before the destruction of Laboratory-25.7691. He is currently obsessed with the art of plankton farming, and also has an interest in creating languages.
