    I thought Bubbles was going to name her yacht “Service Is My Only Joy!”

      Well, it was named back in the 1940s, she’s not going to mess with a history like that.

        Yup. Must’ve picked it up as war surplus.

      She did. That’s not a yacht.

        A yacht is in the eye of the beholder.

          “Why do you behold the mote that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the yacht that is in your own?”

          Touché. But her yacht is only a 150 footer.

    She went back to Atlantic City and got friendly with the slots again. Joy.

      given this setting she probably made actual friends with them.

    Bubbles finally found a way to get a way from those office desk management assignments.

      Well, Atlantic City gave her a little bit of savings, and she had to use it somehow. A ship like that is like getting a houseboat . . . okay, house mansion with built in airstrip, but still she could sail it around the world in a few years.

      I was not expecting this either. Also, Bubbles looks super-cute in her uniform! 🙂

    A water cooler. In posession of a large amount of water that has been cooled.

    …neat.

      Hyper-cool! With the snake that turned hyper-green!

    When we last left them, Alfie was all dejected because Bubbles was enamoured of Killbot #2, and wouldn’t give him a second glance. Now Alfie is her XO? Interesting turn of events.

      I don’t see how Alfie being dejected that Bubbles wasn’t interested in romance with him would impede him becoming her executive officer?

      If anything, it makes sense that he would want to get into position where he would have a reason to be around her constantly, in the hopes that she might give him that coveted second glance.

        I just thought it was interesting to see how the events had unfolded since they were at the safehouse. He managed to find a way to be close to her. And closer — it seems — than Killbot #2 as well. Maybe there still isn’t any romance, but at least he gets to spend his days wrapped around her.

        …And Bubbles, who as far as we know has no intentions of doing so, wouldn’t want to give him the false hope of being in that position.

        Then again, he’s a teenager — his eternal love for Bubbles probably lasted about a week.

          Oh, I don’t know about that. There were girls I was besotted with as a teenager, and I’m still infatuated with them 30 years later, even though I have infinitely less chance with them now than I ever did back then. Some girls just have a way of staying with you. And I think Bubbles would be one such girl.

            A tall drink of water like her? Absolutely.

        Ah, thank you for clearing that up.

      Number Two is probably busy being the mess officer.

        Either that or he’s still restricted to staying indoors at the safehouse so he doesn’t destroy anyone.

    Awwww, Alfie….. We’re going to get you some little round glasses and a red-and-white tuke, and THEN the ‘Waldo’ jokes will Never. Ever. Stop.

      Actually, I’d say he bears a stronger resemblance to Woof (or at least all you ever see of him).

    Oh, does this mean were going to see the return of the android/zombie/talking dog lesbian love triangle?

      Well, you know how it always goes. Dog meets zombie. Dog falls for zombie, but refuses to admit it. Zombie meets water cooler. Water cooler becomes android. Dog looses zombie. Android meets killbot. Killbot falls for android. Cobra meets android. Cobra is spurned by android. Killbot loses android. Dog meets tiger…. it’s the oldest story.

    Bubbles owns the Habakkuk? …Well, ok, mostly “holy crow, the Habakkuk!”

    I called it! Jonah and Nera meet Bubbles! …well, OK, more “wished really hard” than “called.”

    Nobody has noticed this yet? If Alfie is her XO, then he’s Cobra Commander!

    Hmm, the cold-weather outfits and the rounding-up of characters is giving me Everlasting Ices vibes.

    Oh, hey, this was actually a thing. (Or, rather, wasn’t, but could have been.)
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Habakkuk

    And it was built in Canada, so Sweetheart should know all about it.

    So this is the original Pycrete aircraft carrier?

    • Robert Nowall

      It’s got the right name. H. M. S. Habakukk. (It was a Canadian project—but, then, so was Sweetheart.)

    Wow, Pykrete.
