Method of Madness:
...did she? I don't think Station was very convinced.
Kugai:
But Station is loyal to Hanners and tries hard to stay in her good books. Not always successfully, but Hanners did lay down the law about this, and I doubt he'd go against her wishes.
Gyrre:

--- End quote ---
Isn't the word for that 'clanking'?
I may be getting my internet slang mixed up, but one might argue that the technical term might be 'agalmatophilia'. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong on either count.
jheartney:
I've never seen any indication that Station has the instincts to be an overlord. He may have orbital railguns, but he's also got such a crush on the Boss's daughter that he'll undergo any humiliation to please her. In QC, he's been comic relief more often than not. OTOH the Gray One is the real deal. We may find out some day that when they came into being, the Illuminati were crushed like an egg.
One of my favorite quotes is from Asimov: "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." The Gray One doesn't need railguns. A simple touch and their enemies fold, just as Faye did. (This is part of why I don't expect the Gray One to visit CW; the Gray One likes to use minimum necessary intervention, and also doesn't like overt, messy violence. Attacking CW would be both unnecessary and out of character.)
BenRG:
Well, if there was an award for avoiding answering a question, Bubbles wins one in panel 4. I'm pretty sure that Jeph is planning to do more with the real power behind Creepybot but I do hope that the payoff it is worth the build-up about just how powerful and dangerous it is supposed to be. I also suppose Faye deserves a mention for knowing the Latin genera name for the giant squid.
This is me but I've got a feeling that Martin is going to wake up tomorrow morning with a combat robot on his couch (Well... They needed to replace that couch anyway). I'm anticipating a mutually-awkward conversation to follow and, thereafter Faye having to clear up a few misconceptions and realise that some of it isn't misconception at all.
