We are in the shower, decontamination,
Rinsing neutron residue …
I had wished exactly for this situation,
Bathing with a girl or two!
Your back! Your back!
Your back should stay where it belongs!
Put back … your back!
Removing it’s all kinds of wrongs!
Reason one, the decon shower is mandated,
Two, my dream this doesn’t match!
Three, a naked dog is highly overrated,
Four, your parts should not detach!
Your back! Your back!
Put back your back upon your spine!
Your back … you lack!
As dream dates go, this isn’t mine!
PROPERLY speaking – only reason for them to need decontamination is if their protective clothing was inadequate – extremely dusty contaminated area (w/ airborne dust) – they would have uptake into lungs and sinuses as well if this was the case.
It which case they should have been in hooded plastic suits with positive pressure air supplies (to prevent dust infiltration).
Still wouldn’t have done anything for background radiation.
Plus it’s an actual part of the ride. What kind of self-respecting fun-park proprietor would neglect their decontamination showers?
On the more serious side, I highly doubt the *only* hazard in there was radiation. Likely to be several other chemical hazards that decontamination would at least pretend to help with.
Plus, you know….the Nude shower scene is its own reason, let’s be honest.
Nope, nope and nope; Nick’s not a girl via the fact that he’s a) transmitting out of a non-gendered ‘copter, b) transmitting into and operating a fake body with only a semblance of gender, and c) most importantly, he self-identifies BIG FREAKIN’ TIME as male. And considering that his ‘copter-body has guns, I’d say his opinion rules. XD
Y’know, it says something about Nick as a person that when Sweetheart says he’s showering naked with two girls, he points out that it’s a poor granting of his wish and that Sweetheart is always naked.
And does *not* call into question Sweetheart’s status as a girl.
When you’re in a tight spot, Nick’s got your back.
Nick’s nailed it. Some things are like old fat guys at a nudist beach.
Well, the old fat guys are always at the nude beach, but once in a blue moon you get the shower scene you want.

Bad radiation
gets all over us
needing decontamination.
Unity says ‘please scrub my back!’
Nick wants her to cut him some slack!
‘Please put your back back in your back!’
Such an unfilfilled drone!
Unfulfilled drone!
It’s Nick’s birthday? He should have said; there would have been cake.
i thought he meant that on his birthday, he wished to be naked with two girls, and now its come true in the worst possible way
Cake or death?!
I imagine that, in this circumstance at least, he’d be begging for death. (With a PORKING fork in it…)
…And now, we’ll get to witness what sock puppets can do to an unsuspecting piglet in a robe…

No-one in this scene actually knows where the radiation was supposed to be coming from, and Sweetheart is taking no chances.
And so the rest of the story will smell of wet dog.

She can always shake herself out.
They’re operating on Enterprise logic, where you throw in a “titillating” rubdown scene out of nowhere because…well, pretty much just because.
You seem to forget that Unity took Sweetheart’s suit off for CPR, and Unity and Nick never wore any protective clothing.
I’m liking sassy, hand on hip Nick.
Nick, it went into a whole weird area long ago.
Mukluk.
Pork-porking mukluk!
Shaenon, did just use up an entire month’s supply of India Ink to provide this bit of fan service? Thank you!
I first read that as “prevent”. Given that the naked girl-like people could have been not silhouettes, I’m not sure but what that’s more accurate.
Dialogue in the dark is often considered enough fan service
Seconded. This does provoke some questionable bouts of curiosity.
In other people. Not me, other people. (ahem)
I think it was nice that Nick to said ‘you’re always naked’ rather than ‘you’re not a real girl.’ Every so often Nick is more clueful than Tip.
Nick may be extremely rude, but is surprisingly very open-minded.
Sweetheart should have mentioned that it’s a THREE-naked-girl-shower-scene.
Nope, nope and nope; Nick’s not a girl via the fact that he’s a) transmitting out of a non-gendered ‘copter, b) transmitting into and operating a fake body with only a semblance of gender, and c) most importantly, he self-identifies BIG FREAKIN’ TIME as male.

The self identify thing is the important one.
Helicopters generally aren’t gendered, Does anyone think Nick qualifies as trans?
Trans-what?
Remember that this strip has plenty of varieties
Try “transPORT” XD
Trans-human I think he was labelled at some point
“WAY too low-res.”
I sincerely wish I was there for U.N.I.T.Y’s continual nakedness. Nothing in the comic has hinted at this before.
It’s Sweetheart’s, not U.N.I.T.Y’s. Everything Nick says except “Yes” is directed at her. You can see in Panel 3 that he is still facing her.
Y’know, it says something about Nick as a person that when Sweetheart says he’s showering naked with two girls, he points out that it’s a poor granting of his wish and that Sweetheart is always naked.

Looking at you sternly here, Tip Wilkin.
