Poor Rose. At least people are interested enough in the comic to read it and comment on it. You do a pretty good job keeping things right, so we will cut you a LITTLE slack... :-)
Just a note and a word of encouragement at the same time: I tend to be extremely anal about typos, misspellings, grammatical, and editorial errors. However, it only kicks in when I'm reading something ***GOOD***. I suspect I'm not the only one like that.
The only reason I'm not commenting on them here is because other people are spotting them and you're getting them fixed before I get a chance to read the page :D
You'd think the big ones would have enough room for an extra cluster of processors or two so they could avoid the "jumping to conclusions" optimization.
Limited is a better description, CentComm. The drones aren't interested in philosophy, the arts or anything beyond the best way to spray hostiles over the landscape, but they aren't STUPID. The drones know 1,001 ways to kill you and can improvise 10,001 more. :-D
I never said it was stupid. I just said they seem to be well optimized for thinking in a certain way. Pigeonholing, after all, is the easiest way of thinking about the world. The catch all case is the "obliterate" option in this paradigm.
Might?!? I don't think there is any QUESTION of that, I mean Ms. Cactus (she is that prickly) letting anyone but Ada that close. And that only when she is too injured to protest it. :-p
- "ATTENTION! MAKE NO SUDDEN MOVES TOWARD THIS UNIT! MAKE NO UNTOWARD MOVES AT THIS UNIT! MAKE NO SQUEEING SOUNDS AT THIS UNIT! MAKE NO GOO-GOO EYES AT THIS UNIT! THIS UNIT ≠ THAT SORT OF UNIT!"
well yeah its pointing a WHOLE lot of hot death in her direction.. its the same thing as a tiger or lion in a zoo you might love them but they are dangerous.
HA! I just watched I Come in Peace again last week. Been on a bit of an movie binge in the last few weeks. Some old sci-fi/action, some Asian stuff. Probably watched a couple dozen in the last few.
Alternate conversation:
"I come in peace an shit. Hey Good Lookin' I've got a shop out in the wastes with a surplus New Rome Heavy APC with a twin fusion turret mount. Said it was lonely what say you come back with me to someplace that 'preciates good machinery an 'tween the APC an me we can make it real pleasant for ya. We might even give ya some little droids ya can help grow up so theys just like their daddy.
Allie: Uhhhm Krystal is this girl all there? Seems a little weird.
Krystal: Waster, bit odder than most we see but very oriented on what she wants. And right now Allie I think we need to get her out of here before she traumatizes poor Vinnie. She wants to jump his circuits right now and I would put money on her that she could do it and get away.
Allie: Where did you say she was going? Taylor? Let me get Ray down here to take her up.
Krystal: Miss, please come here Allie is getting Officer Ray who is assigned to Ms. Taylor as Security down to escort you up.
Ray: Allie, Krystal whats the rush, who have we got here?
Krystal: Ray this is Mira Ankur she has 3C clearance to see Ms. Taylor on some business from their Guardian would you escort her up please?
Mira: Hi Ray, Bye Vinnie see you later hot stuff.
Allie: Krys We've got the VIP guest suite vacant and undergoing remodeling, think we could put those two in there and sell tickets? If she's as good as you say we could make enough to pay off our contracts and body debt and still live high.
Krystal: Sounds tempting, ask Vinnie what he thinks.
Vinnie: I hear you two, hell no I am NOT going in any room alone with that woman she scares the circuits out of me. NO-NO and HELL NO
Hmmmm! Something about a multi-barrel gun?
Poor Vinnie, even in the future they have sexual harassment!
Wonder if they have a Pinocchio model and the cowgirl going "LIE TO ME, LIE TO ME"!
Vinny probably wouldn't care right up to the point Mira got out her screwdriver and started trying to take him apart. THEN he would probably object. :-D
Her boob badge tattoo is more pronounced.
Is it responding to being scanned? (Like UV light.)
[Or is she excited to be doing her duty?]

*lol* I love that line: I come in peace an' shit...
- "GLOMP DETECTED! ELECTRIFYING SHELL! COMMENCING EVASIVE DANCE MANOEUVRES!"
>:=)>
I think that's my new favorite line from this comic. XDXDXD
There are many things I wish I didn't know. The Internet, it giveth and it taketh away.
