Hey now.. IT are only rude because it’s a coping mechanism to get by, after constantly having to deal with people who paper jam their printers with jelly sandwiches.
Some of us are rude because they frown upon workplace violence (or simply growl & defer interaction to management) “Your medical staff needs youtube access to see what?” and “The vendor said to bypass the firewall for troubleshooting & after 2 weeks of cleanup, you said the risk was justified?”. /em twitch
When the number one solution is that the device wasn’t plugged in (still applies to wireless devices, when users neglect to charge them), it’s kinda hard for I.T. to treat the people on the other end of the phone as intelligent creatures, regardless of how many college degrees they may possess.
Maybe the brain-maker has a setting that lets her pick the ‘type’ of brain? So you dial it to ‘artist’ if you want to be able to out-do Picasso, and ‘IT’ if you want to tweak a piece of high-tech gear?
Wonder if the machine has a dial for “Mad Scientist”. That could be… interesting.
Maybe that’s just a standard feature of the brain maker we haven’t heard about: It copies a neural network onto the brain before dispensing it.
Knowing Dr. Lee, as a side-effect of this neural network burn process, the brain gains consciousness for the shortest of moments before it is turned off forever and then dispensed to be eaten by a zombie.
But don’t worry, I mean, it barely counts as having ever been conscious at all! It’s shorter than a millisecond, and it never feels any pain!
This being Anasigma, is there paperwork to fill out either before or after, er, removing a co-worker permanently? After all, extirpation happens so often around there that a SOP has to have been created at some time.
This is not Anasigma. This is Skin Horse. The drones only came from A-Sig.
And there’s a constant threat of extirpation at A-Sig, but how often does it actually ever happen? I mean, we’ve heard that it involves walnuts and shea butter, but other than that, no one seems to even know what it is.
Is it still a skull-cap if it’s not on a skull?
I just figured they were called “thinking caps”. No discrepancy with that name.
Unless it’s a colander. 😉
This could go anywhere from “All of Me” to Tuvix. Knowing Shaenon, it probably will…
Tipheart?
Sweetip? Great Sunday art, if nothing else. Kinda Dean Jones/Shaggy Dog transformation scene…
I’m still bitter that everyone betrayed Tuvix, including Kes. Prime directive, my ass!

Sounds like there’s a story there…
The problem IT have is that people only come to them with complaints, never with gratitude.
Amen, Bro.
The light said paper *jam*! What else was I supposed to put in?

Wife works IT for a hospital network. Can confirm. We’re vaguely scared of how inept doctors can be outside their field of expertise.
A lot of “experts” have channeled way too much of their competence into their chosen domain….

So she really did go off and kill people for they’re brains, and typically they didn’t stop her.
Perhaps, like the Joker, they’re aware they’re characters in a comic, and so realize it doesn’t matter.
Now which Batman comic was that?
“You don’t need to have your brains eaten to work here, but it helps!”
Maybe they wear red shirts.
What’s more disturbing: that Unity seems to imply eating staff is routine or that Sweetheart accepts it unquestioningly?
Except Dr. Lee made that machine that creates artificial brains a while back, right? So it’s at least possible that she might not be murdering people?
(Although in this case, evidently not. But I kinda meant in general, when she gets the brain munchies?)

Wouldn’t that cause a recursion loop if the zombie decided to “improve” the machine?
I would hope so. It’s bad enough them letting H.T. get away with murder, at least they don’t consider him part of their group.
Maybe she uploaded an it brain to the brain maker. This might still be murder though.

To avoid paperwork, all employees below a certain level are considered to be pre-expended. Accounts differ as to which level that is…
That level may also change, depending on the current needs.
You guys know Niue hates everyone who wears a hat. And now you’ve got two hats…
Asking if certain personnel have been extirpated is grounds for extirpation.
1. Is she inside Nick?
2. Where did she get that brain?
1. She is indeed inside Nick.
2. She pretty much told you in the final panel where she got the brains.
I thought they *weren’t* going to eat people.
And don’t any of you snark about IT people not being real, just because their souls happen to be crushed by technology.
