    And now Tip understands her language too. See? It wasn’t that hard, Chris.

      It’s not that he understands it. It’s that she’s commenting on Sweetheart’s commission of service.

        You mean you don’t understand her ingenious native language?

    Dealing with complete catastrophes is the only thing the Skin Horse team is really good at. Try to get them to do anything else and it results in a complete catastrophe.
    So… I guess it all balances out in the end.

    Hoboy, Sweetheart’s going to be in for it when they turn up at the front desk, waving their feelers about sapient!arthropod rights…

      There’s nothing to indicate that they’re sapient. There’s no reason to suspect that a group of workers from a hive are even individually sentient. Not yet, at least.

        Gavotte, dude.

          Gavotte is a gestalt entity just like the Cypress; the hive is a sapient being by itself, but its workers are not (in the same way that the fox Unity made a hat out of wasn’t sentient either even though it was a part of the Cypress).

            An even better example would be that the individual cells that make up your brain are not, in and of themselves, sapient organisms, but put together in a complex neural network they make up a sapient intelligence.

    The water cooler bot needs to meet one of the kill-o-tron bots.

    (TUNE: “Pretty Woman”, Roy Orbison)

    Ugly termites! With their beady eyes!
    Ugly termites! Grown to giant size!
    Ugly termites …
    Where did they come from? The D. of I.!
    They’ve been irradiated by …
    Marcie!

    Ugly termites! In the Cryo Room!
    Ugly termites! What did they consume?
    Ugly termites …
    What do they nosh on? A frozen head!
    Those folks are now completely dead!
    (yeeeuuccchh …)

     Ugly termites, if we say,
     ”Ugly termites, go away!”
     Ugly termites, then will they attack?
     ”Ugly termites!” Sweetheart bawled,
     ”Ugly termites, ugly called!
     Ugly says, it wants its ugly back!”

      And while they chase her,
      She’s telling you,
      ”Go grab the bomb, there,
      Of CO-two-ooooo-ooooo!”

    Ugly termites! They’re disgusting, yes!
    Ugly termites! Making such a mess!
    Ugly termites …
     Please go away, please!
     Oh, jeez …
     At least they’re not some giant fleas!
     Now Sweetheart says she will distract,
     Because with honor she must act!
      Now she will run!
      As we’re saving Annex One!
      Yeah … we’re saving Annex One!
       Whooah-ooh …
        Ugly termites!

      This is your best filk today! There have been too many great ones to figure out if it’s your best ever, but it’s really damn good. Thanks, Eddurd.

    Sweetheart picks a fine time to return to being the sane one—momentarily.

      I’m not sure if she’s back to being (relatively) sane or if she’s just reached a level of insane that’s managing to get things right, if maybe for all the wrong reasons.

        Hey, if you can make insanity work for you, who’s going to argue . . . ?

    I notice that Sweetheart doesn’t claim to be leading them on a wild goose chase…

      Could she lead them on a domesticated goose chase?

    Okay, was waiting for Sweetie to start redeeming herself, and have to say, this is a good start
