growing a Mell without a head would at least be safer than trying to decapitate a full Mell. especially since even odds that Mell’s a bigwig in politics by that point.
We’re talking about a body for Unity’s head (or even just her brain, but that would just be weird). Unity definitely has Mell’s penchant for violence, not to mention her affinity for Willie Nelson. And Unity already knows how to shoot a gun.
Unfortunately it’s someone who has no moral high ground whatsoever, given Unity’s history of reading smut novels aloud, gloating to anyone within earshot about going on dates with Bubbles, and similar.
One would think the St. Charlie folks would have some bodies to spare, but I suppose it’s like money: the more corpses you have, the more you feel you need.
Clearly they need to pay Remy a visit. I’m sure he could acquire some new body parts for Unity. Probably already has some stuff lying around. After all, it’s not as if Unity needs a whole new complete body. Parts is parts.
She seems oddly at ease to be announcing this. Maybe she’s being kept under a
cheerful drug. After this she’ll NEVER be any use as a head-banging enemy drubbing beer-hall pub-crawl ever again. A new body might help.She had gotten uncharacteristically dull.
I have noticed the same about other, closer women. A new body might help. For either of us.
Nonsense. It would only cost two people an arm and a leg. How many arms and legs do you think she needs?
Of course, someone would have to give her the shirt off their back… and give her their back. And if someone loses their ass in a poker game, it could be way more literal than they’d like.
Honestly, given what she really is, the answer might be as simple as “nanobots grew a speaker in place of her larynx”. (If her larynx is even still there, and not sliced in half or in the missing body or something).
I understand that their love is authentic, deep, and earned, but Ginny and Nick have all the social skills of teenage outcasts with raging hormones. (Or is that redundant?)
I’m reminded of the creator commentary on Narbonic, where Shaenon said that Artie hates hearing about Helen and Dave’s love life because, even though he never acknowledges it, on some level he thinks of Helen as his mother. It occurs to me that Ginny and Unity have the same relationship.
(Hey, maybe this is the real reason the Creature killed Elizabeth Frankenstein…)
Just put Unity’s head on a robot, problem solved. We’ll have a Hitty and Moustachio pair, except with the head of a meat eating killer revenant creature.
But they’re with mad scientists, can’t they just get them to grow abuncha new body parts?
They could take the DNA from her brain, and clone a copy of Mell.
Oh, dear… what did I just say?!
growing a Mell without a head would at least be safer than trying to decapitate a full Mell. especially since even odds that Mell’s a bigwig in politics by that point.
They don’t have a copy of Mell’s brain scans, so the clone wouldn’t have any of her memories of how to, e.g., shoot a gun.

They could, but other than Unity, does anyone really want to see the results?
From safely this side of the fourth wall… yes!
O good. Someone else finds Dr. Lee’s new attitude a bit obnoxious.
Unfortunately it’s someone who has no moral high ground whatsoever, given Unity’s history of reading smut novels aloud, gloating to anyone within earshot about going on dates with Bubbles, and similar.
Which makes it all the more poignant that she’s the one telling Virginia to shut it.
I wonder if it’s because Dr. Lee is basically her mom or if it’s just less funny when the shoe is on the other foot.

I guess Dr. Lee would have to help stitching on at least up to one hand, though. Then Unity could stitch on the rest of the parts herself.
Nah, Unity can just spit her black gunk into the hand and then she can control it. It doesn’t have to be attached.
You couldn’t use Remy’s spare hand, then. Brian is living his own life.

Perhaps they could all go bowling.
They could use the Clone-o-Mat that they used to grow Nick a new body…but it’d be a copy of Nick.
And yet, somehow, that is more disturbing than the rest of the options being brought up on this forum.
Well, Unity could also assemble a new body from parts donated by her coworkers, but it would cost most of them an arm and a leg.
Nonsense. It would only cost two people an arm and a leg. How many arms and legs do you think she needs?
Of course, someone would have to give her the shirt off their back… and give her their back. And if someone loses their ass in a poker game, it could be way more literal than they’d like.
She doesn’t have any lungs; how is she talking?
Rule of funny.

When *Unity* has to lecture you about your social skills…
Seriously.

Panel 1: “Alas, poor yorick…”
“Alas, poor Sparkle…” (I know. That’s just wrong on so many levels!)
Obviously, someone is getting ahead of herself…
Oh my God, I just realized that’s the word she didn’t finish. I’m an idiot.
