    And where is Gavotte in this?

    Also, something tells me she’s still in the simulation.

    Don’t go with him, Virginia. Just keep heading for the door.

      But this is Ginny’s big “Oh – You’re a very bad man!” moment as in ““Oh – You’re a very bad man!”, “Oh, no my dear. I’m a very good man. I’m just a very bad Wizard.”.

      Can’t really have the Wizard’s Heel-Face turn until you’ve had Dorothy reproach him. ^_~

    Darn it, Ira! Don’t you know that to Ginny eating the whole can of Pringles is a lot more serious then doing something bad to somebody else’s brain? o_O

    She also buys a new can of brains for the break room. Plip!

    She’s demanding a new embodiment ie a new ‘can’ for Nick. She’s ‘hooking’ him on similar cases, and she will attempt to motivate him to re-assign Nick.
    And when ‘Ira’ turns his back, Virgie nails him and inserts Nick.

      I can’t envision Virginia doing something so horrible to Nick. His original body was bad enough. Putting him in Ira’s would be downright insulting. She should just knock Ira out and go plug Nick back into his Osprey.

    I wonder who will get there first? The A1 robot or Gavotte?

    Meanwhile, Nick is going insane with sensory deprivation.

      He’s probably back in his room, testing his lack of swear filter.

        Nick is deliriously happy being encased in DARPA grade preservative, and anyone who questions that or otherwise threatens his tranquility is a threat to his health that must be stopped by any means necessary. Also, Nick gave up swearing of his own free will because he no longer has any reason to be unhappy about anything.

    That’s why I generally don’t buy the big bags of potato chips, just the small size. I’ll start eating and before I know it I’ve eaten the whole bag at one sitting.

      I’ve had the same problem with those cheese-flavored Goldfish crackers. I once made the mistake of buying a gallon-sized box of them at the Pepperidge Farm outlet store because it was only $1.89. Sat down to watch TV that night, opened the box, and the next thing I know I’m scrabling-around the bottom of the box. Decided to NEVER buy that big a box again!

        My mother gets them—rather, she has me buy them—so she can throw them to the birds that congregate in front of our house in the spring.

    Anybody else think Nick is going to end up (at least temporarily) in the giant robot?

      I sure hope so. If not it calls for some dedicated fan fiction.

    I think the a-1 is getting its IRA back very soon, after Dr Lee gets finished
    with Mr Greens brain…..a fitting end for him in my opinion

    hmm… in a world where Virginia has made a brain-making machine that goes plip, are we sure you can’t just buy another brain for the break room?

      … that would explain Dave’s comment near the top of the page.

    Will Virginia regret slapping her face with the hand currently still covered with organic slurry? Not because of contamination (that ship has sailed) but just for the ew factor and clean up.

      She schlorps brains for a living (or did, until just a short while ago – now she does it for love). Pretty sure it’d take more than that to trigger her “ew” response.

        There may not be too much cleanup needed. I was half-expecting the right side of Virgina’s face to be covered with a big red mark after yesterday’s comic, but organic slurry must just slide straight off.

        I don’t like to think what she puts on her skin to achieve that. Especially as it has to have been there since before she was extirpated.

          Maybe the stuff on her hands didn’t come off on her face because it’s already dried? So it’d flake off, if anything, rather than blorping onto everything it touches.

    Well, canned brains would be pretty helpful to have with Unity on staff…
