Han is AI's Little Miss it seems. I think one word from her and they would kill every other human on the planet if she so desires!

FYP
Hannelore's home turf advantage leaves the others defenceless.

--- End quote ---
Yeah, the drooping lense does that. Much the same way as Spirit's "Eyes" here.

--- End quote ---
Only in the scissor-hands, and Tailor only has one of those. And no fans. And two eyes.
Hanners looks very elegant, but then she's generally the best-dressed of the QC girls with Dora coming in second.

--- End quote ---
While people don't have a designed purpose, isn't this the paradox of the soldier? Constantly training and preparing for a role they hope they will never have to play. Of course there is the question of why Station has a squadron of killbots in the first place.
--- End quote ---
well technically, we do have a designed purpose. reproduce & ensure that our genetic code out-competes that of our rivals. same as any life-form.
Motorcycle:
Man todays had me awww'in & crackin up. Han's quick zinging of them, Station being drunk, Han's looking cute. Not to mention the droids. All in all today's strip was a massive win.

While people don't have a designed purpose...
--- End quote ---
Actually, they do. The same designed purpose of every other biological lifeform on this planet-survive long enough to perpetuate the species. We've just done such a good job of it that not every member of the species has to do so.
--- End quote ---
actually, this isn't exactly correct. Perpetuating the species as a hole has nothing to do with it. Genes don't care about the species, only about themselves. Organisms are just vehicles genes use to replicate themselves. The better the design for that vehicle, the more likely it is to out compete other vehicles of similar, but slightly less optimized, design.
LTK:
You've all got it wrong. Life has no designed purpose, nor do genes have any sort of will or goal. Life is just an accident, a giant, molecular Rube Goldberg machine that got assembled by pure chance and has been stumbling along ever since.
