    Silly Tip :-p

    Wait until Nick is busy flying and *THEN* give the drone a makeover.

    What is the worst thing that Nick could do to you? Start flying up side down? Open the rear door and do a loop?

      Watch it, decent pilots can fly using one hand too (the case of the guy who tried half-leaning out of his aircraft trying to cut loose a hapless jumper who snagged his jumpsuit on the landing gear comes to mind) – so you might not be in the clear, especially if Nick still flies via th neural interface and can multitask…

      I wonder if Drone Nick walked in to a Faraday cage if the drone would go inert?

        Violet managed fine inside an extradimensional subway, so whatever it’s using for transmission technology is pretty robust.

          Ah, but the previous operator specifically asked if it had wireless internet access beforehand, and only went in after being told that it did.

      Won’t work. Nick can control both at the same time: http://nickzerhakker.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/11/comment-page-1/#comment-7

        Oh hey, Nick moved to WordPress.

        … Is it wrong that his commentary on Marcie’s plotting is leading me to picture an Osprey in a corset?

    Grantwhy: What’s the worst? Remember the giant circular saw he wielded in New Orleans? Actually, I’m surprised Tip was so willing to risk that makeover. He’s already seen Violet Femme (see what I did there?), and he wasn’t impressed.

    I think Unity and Nick will be hilarious together: an irresistible force of optimism meets an immovable object of cynicism.

    Nick… how could you… we are all so very disappointed.

    Speaking of irresistible and immoveable . . .
    tune: “Something’s Gotta Give,” Johnny Mercer, Daddy Long Legs, 1954 (and I couldn’t improve on the first verse)

    When an irresistible force, such as you,
    Meets an old immovable object like me
    You can bet as sure as you live
    Something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give, something’s gotta give

    When two newly sewn bobcat ears, such as yours
    Wag at an implacable heart, such as mine
    “We’ll be girlfriends,” you may insist
    Somehow, though, I know I’m gonna be pissed

    So don’t start venting ’bout fashion with me
    Or pull mascara on the sly
    Don’t care what you think of this body you see
    I’m a ‘copter, but, still, I’m a guy

    Flack, flack, flack, flack, flack it, I don’t need this split
    Can’t you think of me as a mech!guy, but with tit?
    Ain’t no doll, ain’t wearin’ no skirt
    Better back off now, or you’ll see—KAPOW!!—someone’s gonna hurt!

      Good, but how did he say “tit”? Oh, right: It’s a bird.

    You’re not gonna show us what he did to Tip?

      Nick did detail, briefly, concisely, and explicitly, what would happen to Tip should he try the makeover.

      Tip’s a big boy. He’ll be all right, and the Light of Culture and Reason has probably been in worse situations before.

      Tip appears to be clutching his stomach, as if he’s been punched in the solar plexus.

        From the body language, expression and posture, he may have been punched a bit lower than that.

        I agree with Smithnik. His pose is that of a man who just had a mascara brush inserted somewhere . . . inconvenient.

    Tip looks like Zombie Grandma in the first picture…

    (TUNE: “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone”, The Monkees)

     [CHORUS:]
      I, I, I, I, I’m not your sassy friend!
      I, I, I, I, I’m not your sassy friend!

    Just keep away the lipstick and powder blush,
    Just watch it where you point that mascara brush!
    I won’t be made over, won’t be feminized!
    Just try that staff on me and you’ll be surprised!
     I say … [repeat CHORUS]

      Not your sassy friend!
      Not your sassy friend!
      I, I, I, I, I’m not your sassy friend!

    Now Unity, she says that I’ll be her pal!
    Still feeling like a man, I won’t be a gal!
    Especially, I don’t want a friend who’s dead,
    With spongy kitty ears on her fluffy head!
     I say … [repeat CHORUS]

      Not your sassy friend!
      Not your sassy friend!
      Not your sassy friend …
      Not your sassy friend …
       [repeat, fade out]

    One’s a foul-mouthed, sarcastic, brain-in-a-jar pilot in a robot body. The other is an upbeat, happy, homicidally destructive undead abomination. Together they’re One and a Quarter People. This Monday, only on the WB!

      They fight crime?

    I was thinking a sitcom but a buddy-cop show does sound better. At the end of every show they will freeze-frame laugh because Unity just ate the suspect.

      Yes, the premise is halfway between Cagney & Lacey and The Addams Family. You’ve got to admit, that combination hasn’t quite been done before.

    I’m guessing Tip took a hit to the oompa-loompas.
