I think at this point everybody expects to see a room-sized, imposing supercomputer when the lights finally go on – I’d be rather amused if GODOT would turn out to be the size of a USB pen-drive stuck in a wall charger somewhere… 😉
The pencil response didn’t answer the question. Unity KNOWS she’s fairly indestructible – so deliberate sacrifice of body parts is not out of the question….
GODOT said she answered the question, not that she’s the asinine one. We assume he meant she was the asinine one, but he never actually said that. Remember what Helen said here about AIs analyzing things differently from humans?
I think that GODOT knows shes the asinine one, even if smart unity were willing to sacrafice her ears, i don’t think she would be willing to risk the brain damage of stabbing pencils in her head.
Plus, smart unity isn’t this cheerful
Wasn’t Unity’s brain in her blood or something like that? For all we know, there’s nothing between her ears. No, If he noticed something, it’s probably from her speech patterns.
It’s been implied that Unity’s usual skull contains a copy of Mell’s brain, cloned from genetic material that Helen sold to the government and/or Anasigma back in the day. (Which I think makes Mell Unity’s father…) It’s not entirely clear to me how the interaction between the U.N.I.T.Y. goo and the physical body and brain that it inhabits works, but living in Mell’s brain does seem to have shaped Unity’s behaviour.
in the notary public story it was explained that the goo needed to be in a brain to function on more than a basic level and that her normal host brain was created special so she could inhabit it on a semi-permanent basis

I just avoided the way you can shout,
With pencil eardrum poking!
I’m such a smartie, I figured it out
With pencil eardrum poking!
We’re gonna stop you, there isn’t a doubt!
I promise I’m not joking!
Though your shouting is immense, I’ll
Turn off my ears with a pointy pencil!
Efficiency is not something expected in a civil servant.

Ignore that iPhone behind the curtain . . .
Egad, of course it would be the Great and Powerful G.O.D.O.T.

Also, did GODOT imply that there’s two of Unity?
He’s spoken with Unity on brain-matter and off brain-matter.

Could it be that this is smart Unity pretending to be normal Unity to get GODOT off guard?
