I stand corrected! radlein observed Ginny’s hands were clean until she started eating. His deduction that “the McRib is back” is both logical and sanitary!
(not specifically casting aspersions on the preparation of the food itself, but surely getting that much sauce on your hands can’t be particularly sanitary…)
Boy, the architect was just begging for this to happen! Soon as I get my 3d printer setup done, I’m gonna start watching Thingiverse for the Annex 1 ‘bot. And Unity. And Moustachio. And Hitty, and the Destroybots and Cuddle Cobras…
Somebody out there’ll model them, I *know* it!
I have to admit, when I suggested that Gavotte would get Dr. Lee pointed in the right direction to meet up with the walking Annex One, I didn’t have quite this level of accuracy in mind. But hey, given that Annex One is using a cyborg tracker, why not?
Are you insinuating authorial fiat? Why is it so hard to believe that the picnic table in the middle of an empty parking lot she picked to eat her McDonalds at just HAPPENS to also be centered perfectly between the Annex’s legs, which is also almost exactly aligned with the sun when it happens?
Madame Delphi? She must have been the part of Gavotte that was collecting nuclear reactors to power a giant robot.
Of course, in this particular case, she could undoubtedly sense the vibrations in the ground long before Annex One was within either sight or hearing distance.
“Well, that support system’ll do for the next five minutes, but we can do better.”
“What are you going to do with Nick?”
“What do you think, square mama? We’re gonna let him DRIVE.”
The average street light is only about 25 feet tall. However, it looks like Annex One is father away than the light, so that’s not really a fair gauge. We know that the building was at least 19 stories, and counting the windows seems to more or less agree with that, so 200 feet is a pretty good guess.
I dunno, looks like a party bus to me
Better a Party Bus than a Party Van…
The Vengabot.
Is she covered in shit and blood while eating?
It’s OK – it’s a Happy Meal…
And Gavotte only looks like a swarm of flies from a distance! 😉

Well, no… but it’s less unsanitary than eating with your hands covered in biowaste.
This is McDonald’s– how’s anybody going to notice? It sure won’t make the ‘food’ taste any different.
Clearly you’ve never had one of those nights.
Happy New Year to all!

I’m not sure what it says about humanity that I am positive that you are right.
“Sometimes, digital modelers are *classy*!”, I hope!

How *is* the cyborg tracker tracking brain!Nick, anyway? Does a temporary life support rigged out of a McDonald’s box count as being part-machine?
See Rimwolf’s response below.

Well, there’s a new year’s surprise!
Four fries aren’t gonna be enough for everybody. Happy New Year, guys.
“Ma’am? Our drive-through line has a height limit.”
Oh, as if you would actually dare to refuse them service?
I guess Sweetheart will defer to Gavotte. But ultimately it’s Dr. Jones party!
I am beginning to suspect that Jonah isn’t the only one in this setting with the ability to foresee the future(s).
(What was the name of Gavotte’s component with the crystal ball? She may have been quite functional).
Madame Delphi? She must have been the part of Gavotte that was collecting nuclear reactors to power a giant robot.

Or, she simply looked behind them 😛
Keep telling people to always look behind them, they never listen 🙁
I’m envisioning a Shackotron situation, with all the departments and basement denizens operating different subsections and weapon systems…
So long as the silverfish stay away from the thump-thumping.
the story is ending is in it. T-T
In the 2018-12-21 strip, Virginia says his brain is “threaded with cybernetics and encased in DARPA-grade preservative”.
**nods** And there is NO WAY they neglected to include a basic tracker chip in there somewhere.
Well now that’s a sight. Happy new year everybody!
And there’s Nick’s new body!
As a general rule of thumb, if a giant robot is thumping toward you, you should get on for the ride.
Just save Nick. That’s all I want.
“Well, that support system’ll do for the next five minutes, but we can do better.”
“What are you going to do with Nick?”

Guesstimate of 30 ft for that streetlight leaves the Mobile Annex 1 at a *minimum* 200 – 250 feet. Much Joy
Joy!

And yeah, that was supposed to be a reply to cbob. Stupid wordpress comments.
Annex One does have a pretty nice smile.
Maybe she should wash her hands before eating? Just saying . . .
