I think she is a cyborg, but I could be wrong. Or maybe yogurt is the secret weakness of all robot kind. Could be good to know when they rise up against us.
Told ’em their love for equipping all the doomsday devices with Big Red Buttonsâ„¢ was a bad idea, but what did I know? I was just the tech support guy…
Given what we’ve seen of St Charlie (spontaneous kilt parties hosted by the security personnel, streetside mixed drink terminals, brain-o-mats,) Ruby’s gullibility over the yogurt dispenser is a little more understandable. Maybe she was in the “Willy Wonka” district.
GODOT:
SO YOU’RE SAYING THAT YOU DON’T HAVE YOGURT
BUT LOOK AT THAT BUTTON RIGHT THERE
WITH THOSE INFORMATIVE WORDS
YOU CAN POUR OUT SOME CURDS
SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU’VE GOT YOGURT TO SPARE
Ruby:
I have no idea what you’re talking about,
There’s no spigot on the yogurt machine.
And I’ve got no cup to fill right up
And the floor is not the smallest bit clean.
Look, I’ve got yogurt in my mini-fridge
In my flat back in the living space car.
But this here device makes me shiver like ice,
Doesn’t LOOK like a yogurt bar.
Because it ain’t for yogurt.
No, it ain’t for yogurt!
I say it ain’t for yogurt,
It ain’t for yogurt!
GODOT:
YOU’RE KIDDING ME, RIGHT, Y- YOU’RE KIDDING ME
DON’T YOU SEE THE WRITING THERE ON THE WALL?
THAT’S A YOGURT DISPENSER, NO NEED TO GET TENSER,
IT WON’T SABOTAGE ANYTHING AT ALL!
Ruby:
I think perhaps I’m mistaken here.
Or maybe I just want to believe.
This simple food can affect my mood,
Lack of yogurt means I’m starting to seethe!
I don’t have a bowl or spoon wi’ me,
But I’ve got two hands and a mouth on my face.
If it’s in a tub, I can just lift it and *glub*!
Without going back to my place!
So I’ve got yogurt.
AND YOU’VE GOT TO EAT
So I’ve got yogurt!
PRESS THAT THING FOR A TREAT
Said I’ve now got yogurt!
AND YOUR COMM LINES AREN’T DOWN
Yes, I’ll have my- wait, what?
So Ruby, the actual battle android, can see GODOT’s writing, while Violet, whose big secret is that she’s not a battle android, can’t. Doubtless this will all make sense once we learn what Violet actually is.
Instead of being remotely operated by a career soldier, possibly a dying (or drugged*) career soldier’s consciousness was uploaded into Violet’s mechanism. Hence, no neural pathways anymore, but not an android.

Want to make it even better? Read the cast page again and think “whose voice is that?”
Hint in Nick’s profile: “I took the liberty of arranging for him to be transferred to Project Skin Horse”
I foresee Ruby slapping herself in the forehead in the near future when she realizes what happened.
Depending on which hand she uses (the metal skeleton with organic skin and musculature, or the metallic polymer covering the bioware endo-structure) the marks will last for days.
Yogurt, of course!
Emergency yogurt!
…so she’s an android that can eat yogurt? Good to know!
I think she is a cyborg, but I could be wrong. Or maybe yogurt is the secret weakness of all robot kind. Could be good to know when they rise up against us.
The yogurt is a lie.
But it’s so delicious and moist 😀
Told ’em their love for equipping all the doomsday devices with Big Red Buttonsâ„¢ was a bad idea, but what did I know? I was just the tech support guy…
The 2.5 meter Sloan Digital Sky Survey telescope has a big red self-destruct button right on the side. I should post a picture of it.
Well, I can confidently say that wouldn’t have worked on me. I hate Yogurt with a passion.
So GODOT can also suck out people’s intelligence, so they don’t get suspicious at the concept of an “emergency yoghurt dispenser”?
To be fair to Ruby, an emergency Yogurt dispenser is perfectly reasonable for St. Charlie.
Given what we’ve seen of St Charlie (spontaneous kilt parties hosted by the security personnel, streetside mixed drink terminals, brain-o-mats,) Ruby’s gullibility over the yogurt dispenser is a little more understandable. Maybe she was in the “Willy Wonka” district.

Yogurt, gimme!
Yogurt, yummy!
Yogurt, my word!
Now I want some, gimme some more!
It’s my fav’rite,
When you flav’r it!
Please dispense it!
Now I want some, gimme some more!
A.I. sends her
This dispenser!
She just has to
Push the Big Red Button!
Yogurt beckoned!
Wait a second!
Don’t remember,
Was this button labeled before?
Doesn’t matter, gimme some more!

Dammit Ruby, that’s clearly marked Emergency Yogurt Dispenser. Were you having a yogurt emergency right then?
Its ALWAYS a yogurt emergency.
Well, at least it’s not cake.
So Ruby, the actual battle android, can see GODOT’s writing, while Violet, whose big secret is that she’s not a battle android, can’t. Doubtless this will all make sense once we learn what Violet actually is.
The obvious answer is that the person teleoperating Violet from many miles away is out of range of GODOT’s powers. But we’ll see.
Instead of being remotely operated by a career soldier, possibly a dying (or drugged*) career soldier’s consciousness was uploaded into Violet’s mechanism. Hence, no neural pathways anymore, but not an android.

My suspension of disbelief is beginning to experience strain. Hasn’t snapped yet, probably just needs a hot compress.
She was then equally disappointed when there was no fruit at the bottom of the yogurt container.

Wow. It’s all serious eyebrows in panel one.
Ooo. It’s all serious eyebrows in panel one. HAWT.
Grrr. Hate when the server tricks me into leaving the same comment twice.
Hate when the emergency yogurt dispenser fails to dispense yogurt and instead shuts off the communication systems.
Really wish it would stop doing that.
