    Does he mean his yarmulke?

      Since Nick is the Tin Man, my guess would be his heart. ^_^

        That would be my guess/hope as well.

    He might be talking about Dr. Lee ….Or maybe there’s a spare helicopter in the building somewhere?

      Technically he would need both to be complete.

      It could still be about his underwear parts.

          If one of his underwear parts is up in the air, he should see if Dr. Lee is open for business.

          (See? We can be vulgar about other underwear parts, too.)

    His future is up in the air: He will fly again!

    What he needs to be complete is with him now: More metaphorical; Lee is the person he needs to provide him with a healthy relationship -and- an alternative helicopter body!

      He is so much the Whimsy Princess…I love it. XD True love will set him free. …into a rockin, machine metal body. And also love. This is the first time I have loved the princess trope. Congrats, authors. You’ve done the impossible.

      Well, I would say Tigerlily would be the most likely suspect for providing a new copter body, and Dr. Lee would be the one to connect him to it.

    A potential thought:

    The drone body currently used by the water cooler was also used by Nick, but didn’t Sweetheart also use it once? The tech exists to take an organic body and interface it into becoming a machine…and going back to a body afterwards.
    Nick could very well ‘become’ a helicopter for flying, and be back in his human-shaped body otherwise.

    Not gonna say best of both worlds, because personally I’d rather be synthetic than human, but it’s a good compromise? :-}

      His brain is still half synthetic, so he’s probably more suited for piloting drones unlike the rest of the crew who suffer burnout after extended use

        Are we sure his brain is still half synthetic? Virginia removed the overrides from his brain, so what cybernetics did she have to remove to do so? And what was she able to leave behind? She intended to return his brain to the helicopter as soon as possible, but it’s kind of unclear what that will involve now.

            And a helicopter, which they currently don’t have.

    The helicopter was inside you the whole time. Um, get it out before turning it on, Tigerlily Jones is a mad and all so it might work or it might be messy.

      “Go go gadgeto copter” in original version, never got why they got rid of the central o. Are there really that much things under his yarmulke? Would it then count as a deus ex machina?

    Poor Nick. My father was circumcised as an adult (don’t ask). From his description, it’s not a pleasant process.

    Forgot to say: I can’t imagine Nick actually *paying* them for that.

      That’s why it’s a freebie. Jonah already knew that Nick wouldn’t be impressed before he opened his mouth. It’s amazing how he does it.

    You’re not paying ATTENTION, Nick….. because yes, a lot of your attention is taken up just now by said underwear parts. It hasn’t seen your brain in a long time and it’s spending a lot of energy waving hello! Maybe you should wave back? Or something? You’d probably be a lot less stressed.

    Is the point of circumcision the act or the condition? If it’s the act, then shouldn’t he not have to worry about it since he already got it out of the way long ago?

    • awgiedawgie
      February 12, 2019, 4:49 pm | # | Reply

      An interesting conundrum. The fact of the matter is that he is currently physically uncircumcised. Regardless of whether it’s enough to have been circumcised in the past, his current condition is enough to cause him a fair amount of stress. Whether he needs to worry about it or not, he is.

    • thevinylreviewer

      Probably the act. Symbolically, when a circumcised male converts to Judaism, most sects would “re-circumcise” him by drawing one drop of blood from where the foreskin would have been. That tells me that, under the prevailing interpretation, the state of being circumcised is unimportant, but the act is. I’m not a rabbi or even a practicing Jew, though. My mother would have known, but I wouldn’t want to have asked her that!

    Well, he’s mastered the “uselessly vague” part of being an oracle: now he just needs to find an appropriate outfit and he’s set.

    I notice Jonah’s wearing green today. The new wizard, with appropriately humbug comments?
