Predictions for tomorrow's strip? My guess is that Faye goes to Marten (or possibly someone else) and has a conversation about if Bubbles has feelings for her and if she reciprocates those feelings.

Like it was just said, Bubbles is a military spec body, meaning that she would probably have to be able to charge anywhere she could, meaning she probably has a number of different chargers built into her chassis for use with any outlet.
blt:
MilSpec sounds like a perfectly logical reason, but if we were talking actual milspec it's a wonder they charge at all, don't weigh about 100 lbs, and don't burn the apartment down the process. :-D And the chargers would only work on European outlets.
pwhodges:
Nah - they'd work on any outlet, and also when plugged into a lemon.

The story is set in the Boston MA US area, so it's assumed Bubs was US military. Her default connectors will be good ol' US of A standards.
Now, if they deployed her to Brazil it would be a MASH/Catch 22 type screw-up to send her unit out with UK adapters. That may be one advantage to "sleeping" for eight hours plugged into a USB connector - USB wall warts are easy to find very nearly anywhere and usually pretty cheap. Why bother lugging a 240v pigtail around?
