I’m pretty sure that at this time her cover has been blown and whatever mastermind element that is in charge here is just having fun for whatever their ultimate objective is, and just letting things play out. I honestly can’t see it as otherwise.
Yeah, but how could they know her this well already? I mean, right from the start this place seems to have been messing her up. Honestly I think it’s just coincidence.
Unless Goldbug already knows who is operating the drone. I mean, Goldbug would obviously recognize the drone, since they used to be its operator. And if they’re at all familiar with the Skin Horse staff, it wouldn’t take much for them to deduce from her mannerisms that it’s Sweetheart at the controls.
I’m fairly sure I remember Goldbug forcing Nick to leave Sweetheart in charge of the drone just a few comics back, so… yeah, I would assume that she knows who’s operating it.
I should have used this yesterday for St. Patrick’s Day, but anyway . . .

On the day I was made
Down in Captain Bram’s lab
I had wire for my mommy
And Bram for my dad
He would shock me from love
Train us all to attack
The he died and we ate him
But now . . . Is he back?
Look, look, look for the Captain
Suss out the fellow who’s eating the knish
Look, look, look for the Captain
I want my Bram and now I get my wish
If Sweetheart just goes over to him and tries to discreetly let on who she is, they could have SO many hilarious and utterly terrifying misunderstandings.
…hm, does the Violet-drone have a sense of smell? From a dog’s point of view, a good sniff of this “Captain Bram” would narrow down the solutions to her little riddle.
The drone seems to have the capacities or qualities that are required of it by the plot at any particular moment, apparently. At points it is treated as if it were completely lifelike, at times as if it were an oversized Barbie doll.
I hope she’s being sarcastic to herserlf in the last panel, because like I said before, she’s getting really cheesy.
Well, she is also really stressed, just got the shock of a lifetime, and is presumably not at her brightest. I’d forgive her a little cheesiness.
Her expression looks to me like “Well, that was anticlimatic”, so yeah.

Well of course. He was, after all, the one who gave her the idea to go in the first place.
I think she’s in one of Gold Bug’s simulations, honestly.
Interesting theory. I actually like this.

So, I couldn’t play the link to get the tune, but found that the verse fit “Monster Mash” beautifully. Not the chorus, though.
Just knish already
Ah, but is the knish any good? He’d have to taste it.
I’m still waiting for her to find out the werewolf cure isn’t as effective as everyone thinks.
“Ah, Sweetheart, excellent”
“You.. know it’s me?”
“Have you taken over the United States yet?”
She hasn’t mastered Skin-Horse yet, and the United States is overrated for her purposes.
By the way, I thought we’d be cutting away from Hattie and Moustachio today…
With all that’s happened between them, this is going to be one heck of a reunion.
Have you seen the videos of dogs greating their owners who have come home on leave?
And here I was worrying for Sweetheart shouls someone throw a ball pas her.
…
Now I need me some knishes.
Captain Bram is looking decidedly uneaten. Unlike that knish.

I vaguely recall some mention that the drone didn’t have taste buds, which would suggest no sense of smell either. I may be confabulating, however.
The drone seems to have the capacities or qualities that are required of it by the plot at any particular moment, apparently. At points it is treated as if it were completely lifelike, at times as if it were an oversized Barbie doll.
The “it’s all a dream^H^H^H^H^HGoldbug simulation” argument would explain a lot of the differences.
Oh Sweetheart is so totally going to blow her cover for this.
