OK, I’ve read this strip a thousand times (give or take), and it JUST occurred to me that Tip must already have had her phone number, since he had called her cell phone to let her know he was sending the robots up to the roof to rescue her.
Nick has built-in communications. Without a human body he would have no use for (and no way to use) a hand-held cell phone. Marcie was the only other person up there, and she still had her phone. So unless Tip was just dialing random numbers and got lucky, it’s pretty clear he had her number.
Come on, Tip, are you part of the shadow government or what?

Is it Virginia’s though? Could be someone else’s or maybe nick has a cell phone too. xD

Or he could have just been borrowing Sweetheart’s phone.
And yes, I am positing that the quadruped both has a cell phone and is more likely to have actually gotten Dr. Lee’s number than Tip.
