--- End quote ---
Is Clinton a graduate student? I don't know specifically about Smif, but I know some women's colleges do accept male graduate students.

In real life, Smith and UMass are part of the Five College Consortium. This program allows students from any of the five colleges in the Pioneer Valley (UMass, Smith, Amherst, Hampshire, and Mount Holyoke) to take classes at any other school (Jeph went to Hampshire and would know about this program). I believe that this attribute extends to graduate programs. Clinton might also be an undergrad in a graduate student class, or Emily could be a grad student in an upper-level undergrad class. The fact that they go to different schools in the Pioneer Valley does not preclude them from taking classes together.
Additionally, maybe this comic is a flashback to undergrad, and Emily went to UMass with Clinton. Also, do we know that Emily is a grad student at Smif? She could be a grad student at UMass.

Considering my avatar is Osaka, I should change two things and make that my personal text. But I wont. It's not mine.
And could this mean that she was actually invoking FSM and she misread?

--- End quote ---
Clinton: "So how was your weekend?"
Emily: "Some men from NRO came and EMPed my final project ^_^"
Clinton: "...uh".
Emily: "I also learned some new facts about bunnies!"
Clinton: "..."
--- End quote ---
I've got a theory, it must be bunnies. </Anya>

Damnit she was the best thing in that show :( RIP
I was going to write how it's potentially plausible for Clinton to react in the way he did, but 2 people beat me to it. So now I've got nothing. ButtsButtsButtsButtsButtsButtsButtsButtsButtsButtsButtsButts
In addendum: Hoping for some Emily style weirdness tomorrow, been a good while since she's been in the strip.

--- Quote from: Half Empty Coffee Cup on 11 Dec 2014, 09:50 ---Hm... Thinking it through a bit: Emily's code would have to have been skilled to warrant an EMP wipe. Unwise, perhaps, but skilled. Maybe there's a hint of awe behind Clinton's hesitation?
--- End quote ---
I imagine all PCs in that auditorium (perhaps on the whole campus) was destroyed by the EMP, because of lack of accuracy from orbit, or out of fear from contamination, or just to make sure. That would definitely have made an impression, and not contributed to Emily's popularity.
As to Emily's skills, I guess it was more of an accident. She would not have made a conscious design choice to disturb the Great Old Ones. But somehow she must have opened a channel.
dexeron:
Is it required to be a student of the school whose library you're interning for? Emily might only be interning at SMIF, but attending classes elsewhere.
