    I think Gussie is rapidly approaching a level of “This is wrong but DANG it’s cute” not seen since the cobras.

      If it isn’t a trope, it should be.

        Malfunctioning voder/vocoder? Or lots of practice trying to diagnose modem handshake problems using human vocal cords, given a boss willing to spend enough on good Scotch for numbing the pain afterward.

        It’s not completely impossible for a human to manage the modem handshake and TTY login at 150 baud….

    When you have heart, wifi isn’t need. But it’s a good augmentation.

    I’m still going for theory that the old was either the mad thaumaturges/alchemists vs creations – or mundanes against both.

      Or worse yet, the mundanes tricking the madboyz agains the Created, so they could take out the winner at the end.

    (TUNE: “Cheek To Cheek”, Irving Berlin)

    Herein,
    You are nearin’
    The location information’s stored, my dear!
    And I understand the screeching that you hear,
    For our hearts are linked by wireless peer-to-peer!

    Ah, yes. “I don’t believe in telepathy.” “Do you believe in radio?”

      Oh, neat! A similar idea turns up in “A Fire upon the Deep,” with a world where each person is a small pack of dog-like animals.

        Old SF trilogy had beings called Paratwa – two (or more) ansible linked humans with one personality – killing one either killed the set or drove them insane. By Christopher Hinz I believe

    PLEASE can they recruit Gussie? (Nick can interpret for her, it’ll be fine.)

    I’ve been reading the Director’s Cut of Narbonic, and I’m hoping to see Lovelace as a nursemaid in the Star Chamber or something.

    Or did she appear in SH and I forgot?

      Won emancipation, went open source, and fled all S. K. Garrity cartoons.

    Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend. It takes one Canadian bitch to channel another…

    (Chorus)
    Hey, hey, you, you!
    We have to do some searching!
    No way, no way
    I didn’t think we need you
    Hey, hey, you, you!
    I really could some flowcharts
    Hey, hey, you, you!
    I know we have a secret…
    No way, no way
    I know you can’t breathe, girl
    Hey, hey, you, you!
    I want to get out here (No, way…no way)

    We’re the enemy
    Let’s not waste our time
    But everyone else
    didn’t see what I find
    Cuteness too addictive
    Those puppy eyes are not alright
    Tip find her dress just to fabulous
    And hell Nick
    He’s the mukluking princess…
    I can tell we’re not going just get out of sight

    I’m like, “So whatever…”
    everyone else thinks helping is so much better
    I better make sure I don’t wag
    And Unity doesn’t know what she’s talking about…

    (Chorus)

    I saw the movie, and what the creator thinks of me…
    kind of like my master, the Mad Science Wanna Be…
    They say the same things over and over again.
    So why are we the enemy? That’s my fear…
    Better yet, let’s just disappear
    I don’t want to hear Gussie screech again and again (and again!)

    Nick’s like, so whatever,
    Unity thinks we can do better
    and Tip says they need their home now
    and I just want to get out!

    (Chorus)
