    so the smoking isn’t really smoking?
    it’s the visual representation of the AI’s
    keeping a borderline runaway reactor from going boom!

    So she’s inhaling heated air to cool thermal buildup? Or is she just exhaling heated buildup and holding the cigarette for show?

      She’s not actually breathing. The cigarette itself is the chimney. That’s why it’s always a constant flow and she never exhales any smoke.

      Well, she could but it wouldn’t last long.

        Maybe she meant: “I could kill myself at any time.”

    You know sweetheart, now would be a good time to stop breathing in that smoke

      Psh, it’s not like sitting around in Annex One is any safer – between the Department of Irradiation next door, the Federal Office of Giant Leaking Containers downstairs, the fusion reactors in the storeroom, and the nanobot hive that’s your co-worker…

        And then there are the two suitcase-nukes in the wallsafe.

          Those are the fusion reactors previously mentioned.

    So the individual robots are also atom-powered? Collodi must have been a fan of Edward Teller…

      It could just be thermal buildup, from massively overclocking an 8086 core.

    Try to hide the dirty stuff behind an innocent façade.

    Nice in theory, anywhere else it might have worked, but with mad scientists you have to expect something to go screwy. Or in this case, radioactive.

    See this is why you shouldn’t try to hide your dirty secrets, you should just host them openly and claim it’s perfectly normal and that we should really be more concerned about *other* people’s dirty secrets.

    They could really take lessons from modern day government.
