Yes, Nick. It is indeed deeply fucked up that this turns you on. But recognizing your own fucked-up-ness for what it is, is a sign that you’re at least aware of your own flaws.
To be aware of your own flaws and simultaneously deeply fucked-up is one of hundreds of exciting ways for the whole world to be maliciously cruel to you while nobody gives a damn about your pain.
I understand your frustration, Virginia.
You spend weeks getting every part of your design correct only to find that the chosen contractors have used an abnormal brain, or failed to add the blob of chewing-gum that stops the reactor going critical.
And that somehow it is all your fault …
She doesn’t feel like it’s her fault. She feels insulted that they copied her work, but not with her level of excellence. It feels like a slap in the face.
If they are cheap they might have reused the control phrase. If they were really cheap, they would have just had it be 1234 or 000000 and never got around to changing it.
Seems like needless complexity to add a control phrase that interferes with the superweapon on a fundamental level.
That is probably the first corner they cut.
Then again, the control phrase(s) were built into Virginia’s technology. It would have taken them more effort to remove them, so I suspect they left them alone.
(It’s also possible that the people who took over the project after Virginia was transferred didn’t even know about the control phrases, so another reason to suspect that they’re still there.)
No, please. Unity has possibly finally met her physical match. So, put her AWAY, kid.
Actually, they’ll probably take a breather and philosophically connect on AI’s
electronically-powered spirit realm channel.Yuck. Yeah. Just deck the bb-hatch, baby.
Of course the possibility exists that Anasigma was so cheap that Trinity was not made truly unique.
Unity may win this simply by absorbing Trinity’s nanites, possibly by eating her.
That helps explain Nick’s crush on the scientist who hacked his skull open.
Gotta admit, there is something appealing about her in the fourth panel…she went past clinical to diabolical super villain.
Given that she was mistress of the battledome, it’s not too surprising that Virginia would cast a critical eye on these proceedings.

Lean into it man. Savor the feeling.
Unity, baby, just put that chump AWAY….you got it in you, now beat her!
And then put it in you! (I mean, you already had cake, you should have some dinner, too!)
…considering they’re both nanite-goo things… eating her may be a risk. I want Unity, not a fusion of this two XD
Unity’s about to get a few extra limbs, I think.
Cheer up, Nick. “Sexy female evil scientist” is _far_ from the bottom of the nerd fetish chart.
Right. That would be furries.
Would Unity count as a furry now?
Nah… not without the cat ears or the werewolf paw.
Frankly, I suspect the furries are a couple rungs up from the bottom these days…
Unity has this battle sewn up?
You’ve really got hold of the narrative thread.
Hush, you awl.
that pun had me in stiches – it was certainly a cut above. But, sew what?
You’re just gonna needle him about it, aren’t you?
I hope they patch things up instead.
Got any guesses as to the control phases for Trinity, Ginny?
Are you sure the fight is turning you on, Nick, or is the proximity to your crush the real cause?
I don’t think he meant that the fight was turning him on. I think it’s hearing Virginia taking pride in her work that’s doing it for him.
I like that more than the lesbian tussle.
Low-bid contracts, management budget incentives, what you see is what you get.

Who is this guy Abbie Normal?
Abbie normal? It must have been a girl.
You never know… “Abbie” could have been short for Abner. We’ll never know, and the brain will never tell.
To be fair, they had to use an abnormal brain. That normal guy died years ago.
He says that, and I was worried last week about posting a song parody called “Nick’s Dick.”

Come to think of it, which came first: Project UNITY or Project Whirlagig?
I’m guesing Project UNITY, she was cashiered out to Skinhorse when she first met Nick in the hanger.
Definitely Unity.

Ginny, I understand professional pride, but have some priorities, please. This is getting embarrassing.
Now I’m hoping that Unity beats Trinity and Virginia is so excited by the victory that she kisses Nick.
please tell me i’m not the only one seeing that transparent hand in panel 1
Dammit. I didn’t even notice!
Come on Nick, you’re an internet troll. You’re *definitely* privy to worse degeneracy.
