The “verbal caresses of a true gentleman?” So it looks like whomever controls Violet remotely is indeed male. Perhaps Mr. Green? Not Tip, though. Verbal caresses are so not his style.
On the other hand, I love the ironic juxtaposition of Nick’s “verbal caresses.” It looks like Ginny really is capable of appreciating true love.
“You deserve the verbal caresses of a true gentleman.”

No sooner said than done… 😀
(To be honest, I was wondering if / when Nick would somehow get involved in this arc. Maybe he could have a poke around A-Sig's computer system and see what he can turn up about Ms. Bee…)
I just got kissed by a … horny robot!
She jumped at me, well I had no choice!
What she is after, I … truly know not!
I need the sound of a friendly voice!
So I’m … Running for the bathroom! Running for the bathroom!
She’s calling me such a … tender flower!
What she is doing just isn’t right!
I feel like I need a … cleansing shower!
I’m calling Nick via satellite!
And I’m … Running for the bathroom! Running for the bathroom!
Has anybody prior to this point noted that “The Very Angry Helicopter” would make an AWESOME kid’s book? Some sort of Skin Horse spin-off for toddlers? And they’d learn so many new words!
I thought you had a point for a second, with those cheesy lines from Bee, but Madblood would find it impossible to talk about someone else without talking about how great he is himself at least a dozen times.
That would trouble me. As Sparks go Madblood was a relatively class act and there didn’t really seem that much wrong with him apart from being Dave’s rival ^_^;
I dunno. I think there are worse things than being Good Friends with someone who makes zombie super-soldiers, does full brain transplants, and has a good WoW character.
I mean, eventually there MIGHT be kind of a backlash over the way she trapped him in a shell that can’t have sex with anyone at all. He could probably do with a therapy puppet session to talk through the inexorable revolt of his libidinous shadow against the stoic persona he has formed to achieve individuation under the pressure of –
Having your gender-ambiguous robotic superior hit on you and then kiss you when you tell them you’d rather they wouldn’t isn’t an unhappy love life. It is a spectacular sexual-harassment case that would finally give Lifetime a reason to invest in an FX budget, but it’s not an unhappy love life.

While this will definitely make Nick angry, he’s going to have a hard time coming to the rescue in a metro system. But, as a gamer he should know the classic strategy “The last thing they’ll expect is an aerial insertion from underground”.
I think Ms. Bee got a new operator. She was going to make a change of some kind yesterday (comic time). Given the operator’s poor behavior here, I’m betting that another change is in the works.
See, i was gonna post that i really kinda hoped this would go further, but no one else is saying that, and now i feel creepy to say it so im just gonna go anon for this:
“i really kinda hoped this would go further”
Now that the gender of the consciousness behind Violet is out of the bag, let me say that I can’t help seeing this as a classic trope:
The man expects the woman to be bisexual; for his benefit, not hers.
Usually this requires an, at least hypothetical, threesome; but not in this case.
“I forgot to treat you like the rare flower you are”? Really?

Or a brain upload from a dying career soldier?

Heh. What if he hacked the Ms. Bee drone?

The romance between the agent of an evil organization, and a very angry helicopter is somehow heartwarming.
Yeah, Bee is really pushing Ginny into Nick’s… arms? No, that’s not right. Blades? No, that’s worse. Help me out here.
Nick’s seats? After all, there are several seats within Nick (and not just the pilot seat, which isn’t really required)
Cockpit.
Win.

I keep coming back to the idea that Ms. Bee is a modified Madblood robot.
The heck with a Madblood Robot. I think she’s Madblood.

Her name is Bee… she’s a drone… clearly she’s being controlled by Gavotte, or some(one)(thing)(?) analogous.
Yes! Nick is going to flip out!
Also: D’aaaaaawwww!
Bee: “Uh, do over?!”
Those first three panels kind of make my skin crawl…. Thank God for friends. (Especially friends who happen to be military cyborgs.)
Poor Nick. He’s now officially the Good Friend that she goes to when she needs to vent about her unhappy love life.

Okay, done now.

Go, Virginia! Glad to see she’s getting out of that bad situation. Bee’s just getting creepier and creepier.
Oh man, Nick’s going to go apenoodles.
“You deserve the verbal caresses of a true gentleman.”
I’m imagining that Bee is desperately slipping into a Professor Layton voice here.
While this will definitely make Nick angry, he’s going to have a hard time coming to the rescue in a metro system. But, as a gamer he should know the classic strategy “The last thing they’ll expect is an aerial insertion from underground”.
Never mind all that. He/She seems to be straight. So why the hard core attempt to seduce Tip (from the first time we saw “her”)?
I think Ms. Bee got a new operator. She was going to make a change of some kind yesterday (comic time). Given the operator’s poor behavior here, I’m betting that another change is in the works.
Oh, that’s an interesting idea. Bee is a *committee*. 🙂
See, i was gonna post that i really kinda hoped this would go further, but no one else is saying that, and now i feel creepy to say it so im just gonna go anon for this:
“i really kinda hoped this would go further”
also i seem to have misspelled anon as “anomomomys”

I won’t count this as Ginny Blushes 13 because the blush is merely continued from the previous strip.
