Clinton, something tells me that going into an interaction with Emily with expectations or a plan is probably simply not viable. It's best to simply swim with the tide and try to direct it in the direction that you want to go.
I think that there's a good chance that this conversation will extend into next week and that, thus, strip 3000 will be the conclusion of this arc. I wonder if Jeph is planning a Wham! for that day?
Such as what? It is interesting. This is another hint that we've been given that, on a certain level, Emily is not a baseline human. He may choose to address this.
In one tabletop role playing game system I once played, there was a mutant power called 'Total Bio-control', where the character could consciously make his or her body do anything. That would include re-purposing their pheromone glands in the way Emily is proposing here. It's just a vague connection in my mind but one does wonder exactly what Emily's real story is.
I've already mentioned my 'android child' theory. The other is, of course, that one or both of the Azumas are geneticists and bioengineers. Emily's genome was artificially threaded in an attempt to make the perfect woman but, unfortunately, all the enhancements put together resulted in one or two issues with her brain's social development, leaving Emily capable of doing all sorts of amazing things but also somewhere on the Autistic spectrum.

Wednesday's comic made me go
Timemaster:
Oh dear, Cinton.
It is obvious, that he is far from his comfort zone here. He´s uncomfortable with dogs (I suppose he didn´t have much contact with them so far), snakes (Nature! Eeek!) and weird thought-jumps and associations. He was hoping for an attractive girl he coud talk to, find a conection and establish some kind of relationship. But he is obviosly not connecing here.
I´m not sure if they wil be able to find a ground common enough for the both of them. Emily will not (be able to) change her behavior to fit his expectations. So it woud be up to him to adjust the boundaries of his comfort zone so she can find a place in it.
Will he be able to do that?
Does he even want to do that?
Maybe Cinton will join Emily and Sam on a trip into the woods. I certainly woud be a lif-changing experience for him, I´m sure. :-D

With the robot hand he just may be able to pry snakes off as they try and squeeze the life out of him.
Maybe.

Shoot, you don't need genetic engineering for that.
