Me either!! I can't wait to see what happens. This is a really interesting turn of events.

This blows your mind? Really? Most people are being squikked I would think by the former babysitter aspect, not the human-AI "interfacing" aspect.

However, if the line "So I uploaded a copy of myself into this fully-functional and anatomically-correct chassis" is uttered, then yes; we have hit full Julia-Roberts-in-Hook levels of weird and creepy.

(click to show/hide)More than one chassis and the comic will end in a flaming apocalypse as Hanners pilots the whole station into the heart of the sun.

Am I the only one wondering if the robo-BF will show up? I mean, Hanners sent it back to her dad, which would mean it's on the station... >_>

I've already posted this once when reporting on the spoiler comic earlier this week, but here it is again, my reasons for why i felt slightly creeped out by this comic.

1. (Hit as I was half way through) He's of an entirely different format, i.e. different lifeform
2. (Hit just as I was finished reading) They talk about Hanners naming Station at a young age. This would suggest that he was fully cognitive when she was still a child.
3. (Hit as I was beginning to write the summary for Is it cold in here?) They've indicated that Station was the closest thing Hanners had to a friend growing up, i.e. Best. This may somewhat explain Stations feelings.
4. (Hit as I was on the toilet a few minutes ago thinking about it some more and freaked me the fuck out) John Ellicott-Catham created Station, some would infer this could be considered a parental relationship, depending on who you talk to.

Four levels of uncomfortable, going from awkward to semi-creepy awkward to less creepy but more awkward to just creepy and very awkward.

All this to wait for the resolution of, and Jeph's already said that he's done a Yelling Bird comic - so that's Monday out.
