WCDT Strips 3371-3375 (12th-16th December 2016)
Neko_Ali:
It's possible that's the only chassis that was available after his fighting body was to badly damaged to be repaired. Maybe he's Hank the Dismemberer! It's also possible that he's more like Station. He embodies the skate park and helps to maintain it through is various remotes, as well as takes care of the internet security and does the fight broadcasting. He just interacts with the single-body types at the park though his servos, rather than an omnipresent voice though the speaker system. And maybe he just likes physical copies of comics.
Tova:
Jeremy, like Punchbot, just loves to assemble. And read comics.

It might be that it is the chassis that best suits his skill-set and interests. Maybe he likes building stuff and so was installed in a body most suited to pursue his vocation and art. It might be interesting to have a few strips of him and Faye talking about the finer points of aesthetic metalworking.

Union rules. The URAA (United Robot Assembly Arms) contract requires individual AIs on each assembly arm. And you don't mess with union rules. Even if you're in organized crime. Hell, especially if you're in organized crime. They are more organized than you are.
Union rules can be used to justify any crazy thing you like, because they justify so much crazy stuff in the real world. Union rules are why I'm not allowed to shovel snow out of my own driveway, even if I need to get the car out at 9 AM and Smith College's unionized facility crews don't show up at my (rented from Smith) house until 11.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 12 Dec 2016, 23:27 ---When you mostly just sit around in a warehouse all day with no-one to talk to except cargo crates, you've got a lot of time to think about stuff and work out how to solve others' problems. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Jeremy were a self-taught psychologist.
He's quirky though; anyone who actively seeks out Squirrel Girl is quirky.

It's a known fact that some people are great at giving relationship advice even if they're not great at their own relationships. I'm one of them. For example, within 5 minutes of an online WoW friend, that I'd never met in real life, telling us about why he was fighting with his wife, I said "Dude, don't take this wrong, but first impressions, it sounds like she's cheating on you." Three days later, he came on and said it turned out I was right.
