Is it just me, or can anyone else hear Jerri Ryan's Seven of Nine voice when Bubbles makes that statement in the last Panel.

I wasn't specifically hearing Jeri Ryan before, but I certainly will from now on.
So thank you, that's an excellent choice.

--- Quote from: ChipNoir on 25 May 2017, 21:11 ---Perhaps its just me being sleepy, but I find it kinda interesting that AI's can show disgust for 'gross things' despite having no biological empathy.
Unless I'm mistaken, AI's don't feel 'pain', as highly implied by the sheer amount of physical destruction all the AI's have endured across the comics, usually being the punchline that they can take damage to their chasis, but keep coming back for more. To hurt an AI is more of a moral thing; abusing their freedom, their status as none human, and other existential rights.
Yet Momo has often balked at vulgarity, and just now Momo shows disgust at the money being damp. AI's can't contract physical disease, and they (presumably) don't usually engage is the more 'icky' bodily features (Eating, pooping, having sex) as far as we know.
So where does the sense of disgust for things come from? Is it something that they've adapted as second nature in emulating humanity? Is it the alien quality of biological function?
I'm too tired to grapple with this thought bubble, but yeah. What do you guys thing on the nature of "icky" for a being that has no biological imperatives, and thus, no direct understanding of the experience?

I think it's just played for laughs. Bubbles didn't lose all of her memories from her time in the army and can probably remember some of the unpleasant experiences so Pintsize must be very revolting indeed if he can trigger that reaction.
I can understand Faye being concerned about ethics seeing as how her last employer was devoid of any, but I don't think Pintsize could be any worse with or without one.
Akima:
Hmm... I've been imagining Tricia Helfer in Queen of Blades mode.
I wonder why Pintsize's notes are damp; has he been laundering money? :claireface:

--- End quote ---
I was going to say... the correct response to Faye's question in panel 2 is: "How much money?"

Only if it was dirty.
