      Aww, looks like there are different kinds of ‘service’ that bring her ‘joy’. XD

    Robot kissing causing short-outs? Nice Wall-E reference.

      It’s the ‘meat bag filled with mostly water’ involved with the kissing that would cause the short out. 😛

      Robot on robot kissing would presumably be perfectly okay. 🙂

        I’m not sure that what’s in Unity is mostly water. . . .

      your face when that is an actual sub-kink of gyneoid fetishism.

        Usually, one should assume that of everything. Rule 36, I think.

    (TUNE: “I’m Late”, from Disney’s Alice In Wonderland)

    A date! A date!
    It’s a lesbian robot date!
    I’m gonna get with Vi-o-let,
    My bait’s a date, non-straight!

    While Bubbles I distract,
    That give you time to act!
    To get our files, I’ll use my wiles
    And sneakiness and tact!

    I wonder if we kiss, kiss, kiss,
    Then would she blow a fuse?
    All Annex One would miss this Miss!
    Who else could fill her shoes?

    Though you … might hate
    Our Sapphic tete-a-tete,
    It’s just a trick! So don’t get sick!
    I’ll osculate my date!

      I might already have stated this, but THIS FORUM TOTALLY NEEDS A “LIKE” BUTTON.

    I thought about this yesterday, but didn’t fully develop it in my mind until today. So far, everyone’s assignments have been to work at cross purposes to each other, either through explicit instructions or through simply through the nature of the order combined with what the rest of the staff is doing.

    I bet Unity’s orders were to make Brita feel more like a member of the team and less like an android programmed to be a busboy, since that would interfere with Brita and M’s orders without directly helping Sweetheart.

    This gives new meaning to the term “Hard Water.” And it’s hard to filter out.

    Didn’t the last relationship Bubbles was in leave traces of oil in the water?

      So now there’s going to be traces of Unity in the water? Boss.

    Now, as a philosophical query, if Sweetheart “accidentally” kicked the water cooler on her way to try and retrieve her papers, would Bubbles sit up and go “ouch”?

    Assuming, of course, she can say “ouch”.

      I don’t think she’s remote-piloting the body, I think Ginny put her AI in the body. The water cooler is just a normal water cooler now.
