WCDT Strips 3386 - 3390 (2nd - 6th January 2017)
Storel:
I like how succinctly Hanners sums up the big problem with Orbital Railgun Justice: "If I wanted to live in a crater, I would have moved to the Moon!"
Although that does seem surprisingly reasonable for Hanners, considering her first reaction upon discovering the spiders in CoD's basement was to inform Dora that "My dad will be in position to drop a tungsten rod on this place in 64 minutes."
mercykills:
O, Hanners. Don't think of it as living in a crater. Think of it as just...living below sea level. :-P

Uhhh...when spiders are involved, ANY and ALL methods of preemptive strike must be on the table! Possible casualty numbers be damned!!!!

Yes Faye is abrasive to both humans and AI alike, but that may not be the perception that everyone would have if she and Bubbles were to take Corpse Witch down and be vindictive about it. The perception might be that a disgruntled human and an ungrateful employee took down an AI who didn't kowtow to her thus making them targets within the community.
BenRG:
Oh? Now that's an interesting thing Hannelore said: Station doesn't want to try because of what "might be lurking in Bubbles' head". That's the first time that it's been implied that some AIs are afraid of Bubbles' experiences. It might explain why she was shunned and didn't get the help she needed if her peers (and those far up the intellectual ladder to her) found her experiences so horrifying that the didn't want to experience them, even at one remove.
That could lead to some interesting future moments if Bubbles' memory ever is unlocked. Maybe she'll become a campaigner of sorts for sentient minds to stop turning their backs on ideas they loathe and others whose experiences they don't want to think about. "You can't pretend the things we know don't exist."
Meanwhile, Hannelore has a point about living on the Moon. I understand that it is sort of like living in an asbestos mine with ten times the background radiation and air only in one or two small rooms.

It wouldn't loose them the orbital high ground ... :mrgreen:
