That’s not how you fight, Unity! Tick off Sweetheart’s very worst qualities and question her value as a sentient being and the value of your relationship! Anything you can easily forget or take back later isn’t really trying. Do I need to step into the panel and teach you how to do this right?
When I was a kid I would take a deep breath, bulge out my cheeks, and then breathe very slowly and carefully through my nose. My parents figured it out.
Psst. Unity. Psst.
Moustachio’s memory drum contains all the secrets of the Old War. But it’ll take all the efforts of the cute robots to ensure there’s no other memory drums in storage and to get everything back to the offices. Memory drums… Unity. Memory drums…
Sweetheart, you’re not thinking. Have you thought about what that stored breath will be like when she finally exhales if she holds it long enough? For that matter you might want to reflect that “saving the cute robots” really *is* part of your agency’s job whether or not you get the information. 😛
Eh, maybe. The robots never actually asked for help, the mystery gang is acting without orders or a mission objective, she’s just received intelligence that completing any such mission will fail such a mission, and then there’s the whole, “the entire foundation of my world is crumbling beneath my paws, I need a martini.”
Conceded, but at the very least she is demonstrating a sociopathic level of indifference . There are many instances of sapience which will cease with out her aid. Or in other words those robots gonna die without their help.
But she still can’t help unless they ask her to or they’re in imminent danger. The executive branch has no right to foist aid on those not seeking it as long as they’re capable of refusing and in a position to do so. No such situation exists here and Sweetheart isn’t one to overstep her jurisdiction without consent.
With the skin tone you’ve chosen for the left half of Unity’s face, you really need some hightlights/lowlights to keep it from just eating all the details inside of it with how dark it is- I like it, it’s a good color, but it is overpowering from an artistic standpoint. I don’t mean to say this like, meanly or anything, but it would make it a lot easier to read her expressions and stuff is all.
She asks me why
I think that we should fly
I say let’s run away
She wants to stay
Bulldozers on the way
Too late to save the day
Unity says, “Look you,”
“Soon I will turn blue”
Bluffing . . .
You’re dead. You don’t need air.
You’re not breathing air
Nanites in you keep you up and running
No use to threaten me now
Through you I can see now
Cute robots
Help? No, but
Don’t hold you breath, not breathing
Air air air air air air air
Choose it, lose it,
Your lungs do not use it, not air
You want to save these Whimsy creatures
Just because you like their features
Can’t undo the mess that they’ve made
This is far above my pay grade
Fusion bombs may kill us
Hidden ray guns drill us
Blame it all on mad Collodi
Can’t undo it, so write a threnody
Tip and Nick tried to convince us
Each could be a real princess
A daughter to whom Pa Collodi then would confide
The filmstrip soon ran its course
And it said “Beware of Skin Horse”
Unity still wants to rescue robots
But she cannot persuade me
Air air air air air air air
Choose it, lose it,
Your lungs do not use it, not
Air air air air air air air
Choose it, lose it,
Your lungs do not use it, not
Aaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrr
No, this threat is legitimate. If U.N.I.T.Y. tries inhale a large volume of air, and then does not exhale it normally, the contained air will eventually seep out of her stitches. This will create a slight, high pitched whistling noise at just the right tone to drive a dog completely out of her mind. If you think Sweetheart’s sanity was fraying at the edges before . . .

But Ogden, Unity is capable of forgetting anything easily. What’s hard is remembering!
Sometimes Sweetheart can be a real bitch.

I love it when kids try the ‘hold their breath’ trick. Someday I want to see one with the balls to hold his breath until he actually passes out.
When I was a kid I would take a deep breath, bulge out my cheeks, and then breathe very slowly and carefully through my nose. My parents figured it out.
Psst. Unity. Psst.

Nice try, Unity 🙂 Shame about the inconvenient technicality that it won’t work as you don’t need to breathe…
Besides which, it’s entirely possible the other half of the team have already re-entered the vault…
Sweetheart, you’re not thinking. Have you thought about what that stored breath will be like when she finally exhales if she holds it long enough? For that matter you might want to reflect that “saving the cute robots” really *is* part of your agency’s job whether or not you get the information. 😛
True Sweetheart is acting in direct contrary to her agency’s mission statement.
Eh, maybe. The robots never actually asked for help, the mystery gang is acting without orders or a mission objective, she’s just received intelligence that completing any such mission will fail such a mission, and then there’s the whole, “the entire foundation of my world is crumbling beneath my paws, I need a martini.”

Are they going to die? Or just lose their home? Because St Charlie isn’t as cute, but I bet they’ve got space.
But is it a “sociopathic level of indifference” for a career federal bureaucrat?
Sociopathic level of indifference, standard operating procedure, who can tell the difference?
That’s cold, Sweetheart, cold and callous. Irresponsible, too, since a job like yours doesn’t just go away just because you’re on vacation.
But she still can’t help unless they ask her to or they’re in imminent danger. The executive branch has no right to foist aid on those not seeking it as long as they’re capable of refusing and in a position to do so.

They may not have asked for help from Skin Horse proper, but they did ask for help once they arrived.

I hate to say it, but I’m afraid I agree. The left side of Unity’s face is pretty hard to read.
They have to at least save Gussie….

Their real mission is to retrieve the 3rd nuclear reactor.
