You’re mixing up Mad Science and sane science here. There needs to be a reasonable end result that has the universe being taken over by the cicada-people of benthlon 4 for that to make sense as an endresult of Mad Science.
An adapter is something I could reasonably see the ‘not-Mad’ Virginia doing, but someone would need to mention it to her. She’s sane in that she can follow directions.
Aimee/Tip ship?
Tip’s ability to mirror people’s interests (geeky or otherwise) should be able to attract even her. His ability to lust-teleport anywhere could get him into her virtual world, if the interest was there. Plus, Tip’s already causing a strong emotional response in Nick, who tends to blush a lot when he’s around. (O.K., yeah, Nick’s ALWAYS blushing.) Why is Nick always saying how much Tip disgusts him? (“I think the lady doth protest too much.”)
All she’d need to do would be to hack into the code for the “purity test” (like James Kirk’s Kobayashi-Maru solution).
Would Tip want her? Who doesn’t he want? (Unless Tigerlily’s mojo’s keeping him very busy…)
But, Tip’s promiscuity took a sharp downward trend after he fell for Tigerlily. And now that he’s finally gotten together with her, he may not want anyone else.
Point of note: It’s not his feminine self. It’s a female copy – a distinct individual. So it’s just like a twin sister. So I believe the term would be “twincest”.
But we are speculating idly, since there’s no reason to assume they want to make out. He’s so stuck on Dr. Lee that even his digital duplicate wasn’t interested in Lovelace.
“Brother and sister” seems the simplest way of describing the relationship between Nick and Aimee. I think we tried out “father and daughter” briefly, but it doesn’t fit.
See previous discussion of clone-cest between Lazarus Long, Lorelie Lee, and Lapis Lazuli in the great Robert Heinlein’s “Time Enough for Love”. For those who have not already had the pleasure, DEFINITELY read this book (and as many other Heinlein works as you can get your hands on).
Oh yeah, why cant they just have a mad scientist invent a way to get the clockwork guys into the digital vr?
I feel that the word ‘just’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that question.
Madness covers a multitude of handwaves in this universe.
jwghaller has a point.

That’s kind of like asking the sun to just be a night light.
I wonder if they read the books or just saw the movies.
…probably played all related video games, then wrote a few of their own, with dialogue in Sindarin.
Nick was always looking for new languages to cuss in.
too bad programming languages have names like “cobol” instead of Sindarian
Well, there’s always Python and technically Aimee’s castle [i]is[/i] a model.
There’s also Euphoria. Which is a pretty fitting name for a virtual paradise.
Nah, if he wants a language to cuss in – or at – those would be APL or Perl. Or Lisp.
My sister, a long-time programmer for an insurance company, used to cuss at COBOL a lot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curses_(programming_library)
“Using curses, programmers are able to write text-based applications without writing directly for any specific terminal type.”
That’s the problem with these made-up languages—not *enough* swear words.
Read the books, saw all the movies several times over, set up virtual recreations so they could roleplay as Frodo, etc., etc.
This is so good I can hardly stand it!
Makes me wish that I could have a walking talking feminine me.
“Oh give me a clone, of my own flesh and bone, with the Y chromosome changed to an X”….
So, inquiring minds want to know…
Is making out with your feminine self in VR masturbation or incest? Discuss…
The term is “selfcest”.
Not intermonosexual?
Correction: “incesturbation”.
Does his feminine self have a crush on Dr. Lee too?
Prof. Madblood (Or possibly Tip) would be more her type. ^_^

Read it when it came out…missed those overtones till a decade later.
When did this comic get so geeky oh right
About here.
Maybe a little after that… like here.
