Ah, I assume you meant “Shaenon and Jeff don’t disappoint, nor cease to surprise me” and not “don’t cease to disappoint or surprise me”? Wording is ambiguous…
Since I believe Mr. Green was one of the possibilities discussed for the actual Violet Bee, and Nick should either be watching highlights of the Old War or trying to rescue the drone, that should be Sweetheart.
Of course Violet Bee may have been Gavotte, which would throw everything off. And there may or may not be more than one Mr. Green
I think it’s more likely that Violet Bee/Goldbug/Mr. Green is Pavane, because Pavane is in the sim and Gavotte isn’t. And it has to be Sweetheart in the drone, because who else jumped into a (simulated) volcano?
I wouldn’t want to be a cup of coffee sitting on the ground, right now! Sweetie is *ticked off*! About what Nick would consider “peeved”, I’d gauge it…
I’m now looking for that game! Hiro Protagonist slashes pizzas for the mob! YT crushes Sumerian clay tablets with a skateboard! Fido & Uncle Enzo do something else equally cool! Yow!
Gold bug?!
That looks like Mr. Green, actually. They may or may not be the same person, though. And he may or may not have a 3-letter name.
Odd. That screen doesn’t look like it’s playing Candy Crush š
It’s a mobile game; you can play it while watching a static monitor.
And again, Shaenon and Jeff don’t cease to surprise me. Or disappoint.

Sometimes I think the makers of Candy Crush have succeeded at taking over our minds better than any supervillain could ever hope to…
Kind of recursive, if the Shadow of the Shadow Government has also fallen for it.
The shadow of the shadow of the shadow government is king.com, reprogramming the shadow leaders with patterns of blinking pixels.
All. Day. Long.
When you look at it that way, the name āKing.comāĀ is kinda blatant, really.
That Mr. Green, he’s so serene, he’s got a TV in every room.
Then who’s Mrs. Gray? She’s growing roses, maybe to distract Gavotte?
Alas, my little joke did go over some heads, I guess. It’s a line from “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” the Monkees.
I got it! Respect the classics, man.
Yeah, but how many rooms has he got a lead pipe in?
Gold Bug would be my first guess. And is Violet Bee back in control of her own body, or is it Nick or Sweetheart?
Given that Sweetheart is the one who jumped into a volcano, I’d say it’s her.
Since I believe Mr. Green was one of the possibilities discussed for the actual Violet Bee, and Nick should either be watching highlights of the Old War or trying to rescue the drone, that should be Sweetheart.
Of course Violet Bee may have been Gavotte, which would throw everything off. And there may or may not be more than one Mr. Green
Or Gavotte’s daughter
I think it’s more likely that Violet Bee/Goldbug/Mr. Green is Pavane, because Pavane is in the sim and Gavotte isn’t. And it has to be Sweetheart in the drone, because who else jumped into a (simulated) volcano?
It was Pavane, in the simulation, with the Yellowstone Caldera.
Not Mister Green in the Study with the Swivel Chair? I’m so bad at Clue…
Given the slump of the shoulders and bad attitude, this driver is definitely giving off a Nick-vibe.
And as has been mentioned before, it’s amazing that we can tell the different operators apart just by body language.
I wouldn’t want to be a cup of coffee sitting on the ground, right now! Sweetie is *ticked off*! About what Nick would consider “peeved”, I’d gauge it…
Candy Crush, hell! He’s clearly playing Snow Crush.
I’m now looking for that game! Hiro Protagonist slashes pizzas for the mob! YT crushes Sumerian clay tablets with a skateboard! Fido & Uncle Enzo do something else equally cool! Yow!
I get to be Mr. Ng, in his wheelchair from hell!
