Hmm… I don’t recall, why did A-Sig want a cyborg helicopter if their goal was just to strip away the identity and free-will anyway? Why not just make an AI?
Given the inverses in this universe, she may simply be spread over several fields in Hawaii, enjoying the tropical breezes and tiki statues and letting the “hairless beach apes” sort out their own problems without interference. (Although she will miss the tiki art after it gets sorted out . . . )
This is assuming this version of Anasigma and Mr. (Ms.?) Green hasn’t just quarantined her in box hive somewhere.
I think it should be remembered that the only reason that Project Whirligig didn’t actually succeed was the interference on Goldbug’s part when they jacked Nick out of the virtual reality before they had finished subtly brainwashing him.
Wasn’t already revealed that Goldbug was Mr Green, the head of Anasigma? I seem to remember that happening at the end of ‘Mixed Up Files’. Green, in the guise of Dr Ao, told Sweetheart that he was the one who’d been piloting the Violet drone when we first met her.
I’m getting married this Saturday, which made me think of:
tune: “Chapel of Love,” The Dixie Cups, 1964
Because we didn’t go to Groom Lake
And we didn’t have a mission
Didn’t go to Groom Lake
And we didn’t have a mission
In our timeline we took the day
Off and went fishin’
Never met a chopper named Nick
Who’s Gavotte? We have no such
In this world Sweetheart won’t risk much
Lest unstamped forms get her in dutch
So we never met a chopper named Nick
Because we didn’t go to Groom Lake
And we didn’t have a mission
Didn’t go to Groom Lake
And we didn’t have a mission
In our timeline we took the day
Off and went fishin’
Never met a chopper named Nick
Oh, dear, what is the matter here?
Oh, dear, what is the matter here?
Oh, dear, what is the matter here?
Nick is no longer a jerk.
No longer does Zerhakker swear like a sailor would,
And doesn’t use Yiddish as some ancient tailor would.
Instead he’s just stuck on some Alt-Wikipedia,
He’s lost all his non-charming quirks.
Oh, dear, what did you do to him?
Oh, dear, what did you do to him?
Oh, dear, what did you do to him?
Nick is a great crashing bore.
He’s silent and quiet unless he is spoken to.
And is his flight status unbearably broken, too?
Not being upset by the terrible media,
And Unity’s mention of “Thor”
Oh, dear, is there no hope for him?
Oh, dear, is there no hope for him?
Oh, dear, is there no hope for him?
Is this the Nick that we know?
The one in our world always argued with everyone,
But this one has proven he isn’t the clever-y one.
He walks and he talks like an encyclopedia.
Did his personality go?
Oh, dear, can it be kosher now?
Oh, dear, can it be kosher now?
Oh, dear, can it be kosher now?
The Nick that we know isn’t here.
WELP
that explains a LOT
Sweetheart nailed it!
I’ll just take those cookies. Mmmm…. delicious
Now now Sweetheart. Remember You weren’t technically qualified to deal with nick

I got the impression they did want a cyborg but were on the verge of declaring it a failure and scrapping the idea.

Ah ha! Thank you for the link. 😀
Further along in that storyline, it is elaborated on a bit more: http://skin-horse.com/comic/and-is-to-be/
Presumably they wanted the flexibility of the human brain, without problematic parts like freewill.
And Nick’s personality.
…this raises a terrifying question.
Does mirror-Gavotte exist, and if so, what is *she* like?
fire ants?
I like that idea
The early Eliza Doolittle?

Does this mean Goldbug didn’t interfere?
That raises an interesting question. What if Goldbug is a different version of Sweetheart?
This is terrifying.
I’m going to stop thinking, now.
Wasn’t already revealed that Goldbug was Mr Green, the head of Anasigma? I seem to remember that happening at the end of ‘Mixed Up Files’. Green, in the guise of Dr Ao, told Sweetheart that he was the one who’d been piloting the Violet drone when we first met her.

Congratulations!
Ditto!
Congratulations and many years of happiness!
Thanks—we already have that—we’ve been together since 1991.
Many, Many, Many more additional years of happiness then.
Best wishes!
Congratulations and much happiness, Manifesta!
Are we *sure* Sweetheart isn’t still back in the Virtual Reality lab from last time around?
I certainly hope not: I like to think this universe really does exist to mock Sweetheart.
This makes me wonder if there is a Mr. Green in this universe.

The word is “warn”, Sweetheart. This universe exists to WARN you.
She knows this, and stands by her word choice.
How exactly is that different from the regular universe?
