    … “house the gyroscopic array,” hey?

    Oho! The person who suspected that Miss Bee was actually a male transplanted into a robotgirl’s body would seem to be correct and Miss Bee herself would seem to be assuming that more of her secret was blown than actually was. 😛

    I remember in high school a substitute teacher named Mrs. Zahd who had such big knockers shaped like a pair of missiles. Naturally, she was known as “Torpedo Tits.” And I got knocked over by her breasts once, not a proud moment getting knocked down by a 50 year old woman’s boobs.

    Ms. Bee, this just seems wrong …
    You’re coming at me kinda strong!
    I simply can’t ignore your bod …
    It may be odd, but it’s got boobies!

    I get a drink, a nice Merlot …
    In Idaho, was I da ho?
    This woman says, “I’m not, you know …
    It looks like so, ’cause I’ve got boobies!”

    Ms. Bee, she’s mad as hell …
    “Why can’t you accept that I’m more than this shell?”
    And the housing for twin gyroscopic arrays
    Are in a case that looks like boobies!

      Thanks, Ed. Now I have that song in my head!

    On the plus side, boobs housing a gyro array would not sag over the years.

      But if the gyros got out of balance, precession could cause odd directions of lift and separation.

    I suspect it’s not exactly sex Violet’s after… seducing a Mad (and yes, I still think Virginia’s a quiet Mad) to… work on her? Perhaps give her a new, more powerful body? (And yes, I’m sticking with female pronoun until more is revealed. So to speak.)

      The initial objective might be more immediate than that. Note that Ginny is no longer talking about taking her apart to see how she works.

    I note that Violet broke out the wine and two glasses. This has potential.

    I can’t help but feel that this development may help Nick figure out how to deal with his dilemma.

    Violet must have been designed by a female engineer. A guy would surely have provided for larger gyroscopes. For greater stability!

    It makes me wonder just what she was up to when she was trying to seduce Tip.

      I’m pretty sure it has to do with power; if you seduce someone, you have an advantage you can exploit. Violet has expressed a love for Sun Tzu’s work, so I imagine she’ll grab every advantage she can get.

        I’d grab every advantage she’s got…

        I’m pretty sure the question (at least, for me) isn’t “why would she want to seduce Tip” but, “how was she planning to do that if it’s supposed to be a secret that she’s a robot?”

        Which actually leads me to think that she’s not really a robot, but a human that is currently piloting a robot double from a safe location! When Tip met her, she was herself, but when she deployed to this mission, she sent a roboganger.

          Not every robot has to be obvious. She could easily be an anatomically correct gynoid… at least the parts anyone would interface with.

      Actually, I hadn’t – thanks for letting me know!

    You know, somehow for a moment there, I thought she said “more than meets the eye”…

    No one has commented much on how TINY Vi is. She’s smaller than Dr. Lee who is very close to being only five feet tall judging from other appearances. Vi appears to be about 4’8″ or so.

    I could get aquainted to have boobs housing a gyroscopic array. Even while being male, size wouldn´t matter to me, as long as the gyro is precise.

    Ah, yes… but now we have GPS with centimeter accuracy, and 100% Solid-State 6-axis MEMS Gyros the size of a dime, TTL encoders included. And I, a mere mortal consumer, can buy them.

    Online, of course.

    Violet Bee/Gold Bug is some sort of hive mind, right?

    More… or less?
    Or, in fact, do the concepts of “more” and “less” not matter when one is speaking in a non-physical sense?

    Rereading this after finding out who is running Violet, I have to say, without too many spoilers, this person just doesn’t give on Virginia.
