I just had the most terrible thought. Not only will Bubbles be safely tucked away in her water cooler where she can’t interfere, Sweetheart will be institutionalized! And he has the power to make it stay that way (admittedly, desperate pleas of “You have to believe me! I’m not crazy, I’m a talking dog in an android body!” certainly wouldn’t help remedy that).
And if Ira is pulling the strings, then he is presumably also the mysterious Mr. Green, who was implied to have been the one driving the “Violet Bee” persona, meaning he’s the one that allowed the “human suit” as he puts it to fall into Skin Horse’s hands in the first place. He’s clearly playing the long game here.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to go find some thumbtacks and string.
It’s not mind transfer, it’s remote control. Sweetheart can break the connection when she wants to, or have someone break it for her: she’s not actually in the android body. _Bubbles_ is, but that’s because she’s either a program that can be run on the machine’s hardware or a sentient processing unit (with programs) that can be installed into the machine.

Plotting,
Thinking hard, and strategizing!
Ira came up with a plan to recommend …
Why, thank you, Ira, friend!
Talking
With this guard, I’m realizing
That you’re really rather clever, Ira R.!
A clever guy you are!
Put on a human suit so I can in-fil-trate!
With artificial arms and legs and hide …
I think I’ve got a sneaky plan that’s really great!
I’ll fool their eyes
With my sharp disguise,
And I’ll find what lies
There inside!
Now Ira’s got a thought that not too bad! I’ll get
Inside the Anasigma Institute …
Yes, now I see!
It’s all plain to me!
With your leave, I rea-
Lly must scoot!
Now I have to go put on my human suit!
I was about to ask “What human suit? Is she going to ask Artie to borrow his Mom’s transmogrifier?” Then I read dr brain’s comment and I was like “oh yeah.” Though watching Sweetheart control the drone will likely be funny as heck.
Given the number of people using the drone for relationships, maybe they should try to get Dr. Lee to build them a few more, but make them “fully functional,” this time.
OK, Dimensionally-Folded Love Triangle? We have a love interest and an interfering friend co-habiting the same remote drone body… Sort of a Love Tetrahedron pushed into what should be a straight line?
Literally, showing one of the problems with only having a five word vocabulary.
On the other hand, with Sweet Daddy Jupiter Velvet it seems that even if she could have, she wouldn’t have.
I can’t think of which would be worse. An attempt to “Reverse engineer” the werewolf virus deal to make human like form… or trying to find a link hook up system to use the robot body… Which would be just as bad because that little dog can barely go on an “evil” rampage. Slightly crazed werewolf would work better than walking polite girl trying to be evil.
Or is this another take turns at the “wheel” when ever they run into a problem. UNITY for Crazy. Sweetheart for brains. Do need to mention which one for mojo or seduction. Which leaves Ira for master manipul… (bang)
Okay, if Sweetheart is going to drive Ms. Cooler’s body, it begs the question of how? I don’t think Tigerlily’s clockwork mojo is going to allow her to create an electronic interface, and they’re probably not going to want to involve Dr. Lee in this level of cockamamie yet.
Sweetheart may need to reconsider this plan, post-drinks and post-hangover of course.
Yet more evidence that Ira is pulling all the strings.
I wonder why he needs Bubble taken out of the way

Can’t interfere? You should have seen what happened when the one in the break room at work decided to spring a leak.
Oh, as a brief side-note, I recently learned that “Ira” is Latin for “wrath”. Coincidence? I think not!
Does anybody know Ira’s (presumably assumed) last name? He’s not on the cast page (which is exactly how he wants it).
Rosenkranz.
is she gonna end up taking over bubbles’ coffee date too??
Oh like she’s not fantasizing about something similar anyway.
…don’t you think kicking bubbles out of it is going to… dunno… “upset” the rest of the skinhorse team?
Unfortunately, it’s possible they don’t need to know.
Do you really think Sweetheart could fool them into thinking she’s Bubbles for even one minute?
Yeah, I have no idea what I was thinking at the time.
“They don’t need to know” ranks right up there with “what could go wrong?” as famous last words.

oh god, she is going to ask arity to ask MELL to give her the ability to change into a human ‘~’
One thing Ive been wondering throughout this mini-arc: does Ira get paid?
I mean, memory impairment or not, he would, at some point, notice his funds reach zero
…right?
Well, I think he’d notice if he were starting to starve…
I think they’ve given him early retirement…
If his memory’s that bad, how would he know if he’d been paid?
Not necessarily. He could be an example of the Norton Effect, where people just go with it because you’re kind, interesting, and harmless.
Service is Sweetheart’s only joy~

Poor Britta 🙁
Hoping that Sweetie asks her first
Well, she’s just a water cooler who can’t say “No”….
And that song from Oklahoma is a favorite anyway….

You didn’t read anything.
No Shakespearean comedy could have predicted this.
Poor Ira.
