    That moment when your glam-sense suddenly lets you know there’s something parked behind you ironically.

      ….and it’s hotter than you are.

    Unity’s so excited she’s completely forgotten about cake!

      And ironically, the switch from cake to biscuit was especially sweet!

    Tip: “Is it a dress? Tell me we found the perfect dress to accent my ankles.”

      Virginia: “No, Tip, it’s not a dress, and it’s not for you. But it just might be perfect.”

        It is something for someone to wear, though—in a way.

    Ah, Tip. He’s SO self-aware at some moments.

      Or at least a bit genre-savvy and able to read other’s emotions. Comes with the doctorate.

    Does Unity not realize that Nick and Biscuit are one and the same?

      I don’t think she does.

        Or, maybe she realises that they are two separate entities, like that suit Bubbles is wearing

        She’s probably forgotten.

      At this point I am convinced she has no idea..

    I think Nick’s brain port is about to come in handy.

      Highly probable.

    Funny, just last week we were talking about Nick’s nickname Biscuit, I don’t even remember her calling him that when I originally was catching up. Just off the record, I had to go back and see the reply.

    Alright alright I have not commented yet but I have waited too long and can no longer restrain myself. This here deserves a big fat YEEEEESSSSSS
    Honorable mention to Dr. Lee’s face in panel 4.

    Methinks this heralds the arrival of the REAL inspection team…

    • Guesticus
      July 30, 2019, 7:58 am | # | Reply

      Just in time for this team to make a quick exit via Biscuit Airways

    But Dr. Lee won’t get to ‘goink’ Nick if they stuff his brain back in the aircraft.

      It may be that, because of the transceiver in Nick’s brain, “stuff Nick’s brain back in the aircraft” becomes “Get Nick to sit in the Pilot’s seat.”

      Even when it happens, Nick will probably have a terrible case of performance anxiety.

    Aside from the gorgeous night sky, I like the idea that irony can have a stand-in. Kinda like a stunt double?

    S’a question. So would Nick need to detach from his real body every few hours to ensure the human version is fed, eats, has waste ah, removed, is exercised and so on?

      There might also be some disagreement concerning which body Nick considers to be his “real” one now, but I believe he should be able to control the helicopter with his mind while still using his “meat body” for other things…providing Ginny doesn’t cause a “driving while distracted” accident as they celebrate while airborne.
      Nick may have to figure out how to operate the controls real fast if the real A-S inspection team arrives.

        That was my thought: whether Physical Nick has the same reflexes for flying an Osprey as Brain Nick. They might need a pair of VR goggles to take Nick out of the physical environment to help him fly well.

          Along this line, yeah. A human body needs a lot of maintenance (food, exercise, waste elimination)–and while I’m sure they can get some of that by boinking… Then again, I often forget how horny most folks are. >.>

          MAYBE IT IS POSSIBLE.

      He’ll have to, so he can goink Dr. Lee.

    Maybe this is where Nick’s in-head tranceiver comes into play.

    • awgiedawgie
      July 30, 2019, 1:17 pm | # | Reply

      The tranceiver may have already come into play, considering that Nick is conspicuously absent from the group.

    One doubts that these—Ospreys, is it?—these Ospreys all come preequipped to be flown by someone’s brain plugged into it. Probably not standard options.

      Which is why they have a bunch of electronics, spare airplane parts, and a semi-mad biomechanical expert to make some upgrades before taking off.

    IN THE FACE, probability.
