    Now now, Sweetheart,Unity could be asking about licking those heels. No one likes plain heels.

      Pickled pigs feet are pretty tasty, so why not pickled human heels?

        Pickling does not bring out the best flavors in human; slow-roasting on a bed of pesto does.

      Well, as Frank Capra taught us, heelots are a lotta heels, so this exchange may be less a class struggle as some wry commentary on self-promotion and the profit motive. The Buffalo sauce represents media spin.

      Oh, so true! Stilettoes are SOO much sexier, nyao! They way they add to a cute girl’s walk… mmmm, PURRRR!!!

      Unity is the hero we need. But first, she needs to eat a lot of brains, so she can figure out how to fix this.

    At this point, I think it’s time to retire. Round up a group of sentient animals you like, infiltrate a zoo, sleep all day, get free meals, and roam the park at night doing whatever the heck you want. Slip a few forms in at the office to get them to install free wi-fi, steal some computers, bam!

      If they taste like chicken, buffalo sauce. If they taste like pork, sriracha.

        Humans taste like pork but I insist on a smokey honey mustard glaze

          After some deliberation and discussion I have determined that a sweet buffalo or barbecue would also work in a pinch but smokey honey mustard is preferable

            I’ve heard that one should pair this with a micro brew from the same region as the person, because the minor flavor notes will be similar and thus reinforce each other, adding to the bouquet.

            I have no idea about the truth of this information, but it sounds reasonable and it’s much squickier than simply drinking chianti.

      I don’t know about the rest of you, but the only reason any of the non-human entities I know don’t eat humans is the lack of szechuan sauce.

        Not necessarily true.

        The reason housecats don’t try to eat you is that they know that if they tried to eat you, they only would get 3, maybe 4 good meals. But if they DON’T try to eat you, they would get free food of their choice for their lifetime.

        Besides, you are bigger then they are.

      I believe that both tigers and zombies prefer their meat fresh. Cooking ruins the flavor.

    I’m going to EMP that dangerous nano-weapon.

      Given how EMPs work that would be extremely unlikely to work

      If an EMP in this case means Egg McMuffin Pastry, it just might work. Virginia might have put in another control phrase for UNITY, and she seems to tend to tasty breakfast foods.

        Failing that, feed it to her. It might distract her long enough for us to get away.

    If Unity’s nanotechnology were electrical, an EMP might knock her out. But she’s organic. Basically she’s a 2-gallon jug of black sludge, and she’s simply riding around in a patchwork body of necrotic parts.

      If she were electrical and had long power cords or were connected to power lines yes

        An EMP doesn’t depend on power lines or cables to travel. That would be a power surge. An EMP (such as one radiated by a nuclear explosion) will disrupt almost any electronic circuitry. Your basic incandescent flashlight is probably safe, but that’s about it. If you’re old enough, you might remember putting a strong magnet next to a CRT television set and watching how it messed up the picture. And the stronger the magnet, or the longer you left it there, meant it would take longer for the picture to recover back to normal.

          Nanobots are particularly vulnerable to EMP, in fact, because they have very thin circuitry and need to be too compact to fit with shielding. You can design macroscopic electronics to resist EM interference, not so much something the size of a blood cell.

          • awgiedawgie
            August 6, 2019, 11:35 am | #

            Not all nanobots are electronic. Biological nanobots have no circuitry. Their “programming” is written in their DNA.

    I think if I were Tip I would be standing silent and still in the background too, hoping the frustrated and always-hungry carnivores wouldn’t decide to eat him.

      Meh, he can always remove his glasses at them; that seems to work.

    Hopefully they come up with a better plan, or at least recognize that this is exactly what Anasigma wants: a reason for a New War.

    He’s not a genius, but I figured H.T. was smarter than that. If he goes and starts eating people, how long does he really think it will be before one of them shoots him? Vermont has Constitutional Carry, after all.
