      Foreboding, definitely foreboding. V-Bee definitely seems to use sex for control purposes. Let her get her (hopefully metephorical) claw into you, and she will not let you go.

      The fanservice is an extra, granted, but in-universe it isn’t a good thing.

        Nick might have decidedly mixed feelings about this. However, I suspect that since Ms. Bee lacks nipples, the balance would probably go negative.

        I agree, it’s sexual harassment by a supervisor — but A-Sig probably approves this for control of agents etc. Ick.

          A-Sig protocol includes looking through your underwear drawer from orbit. (Look through, acquire targeting information and vaporize – same thing right?)

      Probably these kinds of potatoes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgf_odxpCoQ

    So Violet thinks Virginia’s asking if she’s “fully functional” in the Tasha-and-Data sense…

    We should keep track of how many times Ginny blushes (I’ll go back and count in my copious spare time), but my, doesn’t she look especially adorable in the last panel.

      It only took me 3 years…
      Virginia blushes – 11
      … and yes, past me, she does!

          So this is when you got the idea! I’ve enjoyed watching you count as I reread the archives.

          You’re doing the Lord’s work, maarvarq. Or, were, I guess. Can’t wait to see what the final count ended up being!

    Well, Dr. Lee is protesting adorably, but the specificity of “gay date night” seems weird.

    On the other hand, I guess it’s too late for her to protest a general “date night” proposition when she’s supposed to be on the job. That ship has sailed.

    Where are all out filkers tonight? “Temporarily Lesbian” sounds really close in meter to “Simply Irrestible”…

      I don’t know if this will show up, either, but I’ve been trying to post a filk since this strip went up last night, and I keep getting a message saying that I’ve already posted it, but it’s not posted! I blame GODOT.

        I’ve been trying without success to post transfers of comments from the old site, and getting the same thing.

      Based on “Simply Irresistable” by Robert Allen Palmer

      How can it be permissible?
      She’d compromise my principle, yeah yeah.
      That kiss was on the list of all
      Things that were not quite typical.

      She’s my director doll, I could open up her skull.
      Then maybe I could see why she’s not on the ball.
      She thinks it’s ’cause I like girls, but I was only a
      Temporary lesbian! Temporary lesbian!

      UNITY was in my brain,
      An Tiger Lily was insane.
      Violet’s come-ons are a pain.
      The woman should refrain!

      He’s a robotic girl, maybe written in PERL.
      I’ll cut up her head, not to get in her bed.
      She seems to think that I’m gay, but to her I say:
      “Temporary lesbian. Temporary lesbian.”

      Temporary lesbian (Thinks I’m bi, but in Idaho I was just high).
      Temporary lesbian (Wasn’t me, it was only Unity).

      She’s unavoidable, The writing’s on the wall.
      My boss thinks I’m easy, because she thinks I’m gay.
      I’m calling harassment, she’s breaking every law.
      She does not look good to me, ’cause I was just a
      Temporary lesbian.

      Her assumptions are inscrutable.
      The proof is all refutable, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, but,
      She’d be kind of kissable, huh,
      If she were just remissable.

      UNITY was the source, she’s a powerful force.
      You’re obliged to conform when there’s no other course.
      Girls mostly aren’t hot to me, but when I am her?
      Temporary lesbian (when she’s me, I might end up smooching funky girls).
      Simply irresistible (when she’s me, there’s no telling where my lips will go).
      Temporary lesbian (when she’s me, I might end up smooching funky girls).
      Simply irresistible (when she’s me, there’s no telling where my lips will go).

        Title correction: Irresistible

        Third-to-last line correction: Temporary lesbian

        Final line correction: Temporary lesbian

          I actually like those lines as “Simply irresistible”

          Incidentally, this is the strip I was referring to back on 9/24 that confirms that Violet is, in fact, wearing a little black dress.

    she made an inaccurate statement.
    It should have been:
    “I was just temporarily lesbian because I was possessed by my zombie daughter”
