What confuses me is that it didn’t seem like they were handing out free laboratories before. I mean, Dr. Jones could have escaped with the stuff that was in Sweetheart’s room last night, let alone all this stuff.
Honestly this actually makes more sense than a cure. Any tech company out there would kill for a bunch of geniuses who don’t know what ‘in the box thinking’ is, or even where the box is – as long as they can be controlled.
They may have a mad social scientist in charge, trying multiple approaches to address hypercognition disorders. Can the madness be restrained? Can it be harnessed? They might keep an eye on some of the notable un-caught mad geniuses, to act as a control group.
Your looking at it from the wrong perspective. Like our funky mad scientist and the rest of the lot in prison had in common where the fact they were EVIL mad scientist. Sweetheart’s little rampage actually HELPED people either putting her in the SANE mad scientist group or the HELPFUL mad scientist group… without the freaky happiness.
Thus the reason for the nice bath, and the lots of supplies to use bit.

No crowd-sourcing
Isn’t gonna help
No crowd-sourcing
Only makes me yelp
Our scheme has just run out of steam
Tigerlily Jones tells me have a drink, listen to Earth, Wind and Fire
How’s that gonna help me build a mad device, which is what these folks desire?
And tell me how a dog who follows every rule
Can engineer a doomsday tool
At the time I thought that to infiltrate would be cool
I must have been crazy!
They’re on to Sweetheart. The facility for actual mads didn’t look like this at all, so they must be watching for her to try and contact outside for further orders. They didn’t account for a microphone inside her head, though.
Tiger Lily is a seriously dangerous mad scientist; uncontrollable, so she gets the padded walls and prep for the Cure. Sweetheart is a sweetheart recruitment deal. Her first rampage was helpful, not harmful, and she hasn’t tried a big breakout attempt yet, so they’re giving her all the rope she can handle to see what she does with it.
Thank you, Freezer. I was wondering when we would get down to what is truly important about this strip. EWF with a big Funkadelic chaser and the world is truly at your knees.
Dangit, started listening to some Earth Wind and Fire for a musical reference, and 5 songs later realized I was too busy boogieing to think about lyrics.
sometimes i have to wonder about the little thoughts in Sweetheart’s head as she goes through this. “Pointing a finger? I think that’s how people do it, let’s go with that”
I agree with both DoubleW and Lutasi above. This is not the standard area of the Institute. Mr. Green knew they were going to try and invade after Tigerlily “escaped”, and would probably have mad help. It’s a combination recruitment facility and brain drain. Get whatever madtech they had stashed as bargaining chips and use brainwashing techniques to eventually get Sweetheart and the rest of Skin Horse working for them.
Either that, or Occam’s Razor applies: never blame on malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Just had to share with a crowd that would appreciate:
Someone on Tumblr posted “Wishing there were a TV crime drama centered around a forensic linguist” followed by “Is there one?”

There’s something weird going on here.

Calling it as of four pages ago, this is a different facility, run by different people.

But she’s been hacked by Nick and Tigerlily! Who knows what will come out of this consultation?
I like Tigerlily’s style!

…not that I’m complaining, mind.

When she says “crank up,” she means literally; “Earth,” “Wind,” and “Fire” are the names of her three remaining funkbots. /headcanon
the “water” bot sits in the corner all sad and alone by itself
Bubbles? Poor Bubbles…
Bubbles needs a good rampage!
I wonder how big a hit they were on the Product Testing Floor / Battle Arena…
Is that what Miss Jones did when she was confined in the Institute?

Come to think of it, why isn’t drone!Sweetheart down with the other robots? They can’t be that clueless, can they? (Oh, wait.)
I seem to recall her wearing prison uniforms, not turtlenecks

I responded by recommending Narbonic.
I may have recruited an unsuspecting victim.
Bwahahahaha. I’m so good. Well. Evil. 😉 #pleasedwithmyself
For God’s sake, man, pay attention to your grammar!
Time for Tigerlily to drive the drone?
Now that would be one hell of a sight.
