Eh, Nick swears and complains a bunch, but he’s actually a pretty dependable guy. I wouldn’t really find it odd for him to be your most trustworthy staffer.
Add my bad feeling yesterday was just made worse by two strips in a row pointing out how Nick is all alone *and* important. I really hope nothing happens to him while everyone else is occupied by the party….
And let’s not forget that being all alone — and more important, lonely — tends to make a person very depressed. Depression can make even the most dependable employee behave in uncharacteristic ways. Even if nothing “happens” to him, per se, he could still decide to say “hang it all” and just fly away.
Everyone thought the title of this chapter has something to do with the weather, but what if it’s about Nick deciding he isn’t so crazy about being a helicopter after all.
But what if Hitty is actually telling the truth? That would mean that the rest of the team is ignoring a real source of danger, or at least danger to files.
Normally, I’d say they would have to play the odds, but in this universe, your point is more than valid. Maybe they should have a look around, just in case. And by “they”, I mean Tip. (He’s armed.)
Why don’t they just get Nick to print out hardcopy to store in a secure place where it won’t be eaten by silverfish? For that matter – why don’t they also get Nick to send a backup to Jonah and Neera? And one to the Habakkuk? Then they’d have three backups with people they knew were not with A-Sig…

But having a single point of failure isn’t really a good thing. He’s great, but if he’s ever put out of commission, well…

Skin Horse has had an unusual amount of success and uncharacteristic efficiency lately. Somewhere, there is a “Murphy” poised to strike.

Same here. I am suddenly VERY worried about Nick.
Coming to a bookstore near you, “If I Hit It”.
Would you then quit it?
It looks as though Hitty is working on passing the Turing Test. ^_^
That, or planning to run for office
An OJ reference? 23 years on? Man, that set of memes has some staying power.
Perhaps they’re in a prison in Nevada.
I guess they watched the recent documentary. I heard it was pretty great and available on Netflix.
Also, hooray! Skin Horse is back! Who should I adress my thanks to?
He is the only princess.

Given that Hitty and Moustachio share the same body, it’s safe to assume if Hitty wasn’t responsible, Moustachio would be saying something.

With Sweetheart’s penchant for multiple copies of everything, her brain is undoubtedly already churning with ideas.
This was brought up earlier. The answer is, basically, that it’s on Nick’s list but they’ve been busy and the internet has been spotty.
