Based on what we've seen, I assume they do have built-in communications. And we know Bubbles has an actual phone number, since we saw Claire call Bubbles to carry her dresser when she moved in with Marten. I don't think it would be an issue for EMCON, since she should be able to turn it off.
Trebane:
It would be cool to see Bubbles having a heart to heart with a character who isn't Faye but I don't know who she would be close enough to or trust enough to have that kind of conversation.
I like Claire drawings so hopefully it's her.

I'm not a patreon so I'll take a punt.
Those are definitely the two mostly likely possibilities but I'm also thinking there's an outside chance of her going to talk to Claire. Remember when they shared about body stuff with each other? I think if Bubbles wants to talk to a human she will probably choose Claire. She also talked to Hanners once before when upset at Faye but Hanners is away now.
And didn't we last see Claire at Coffee of Doom? Convenient! Hopefully Claire will be able restrain herself enough to merely squeal with glee on the inside because Claire getting overexcited wouldn't help. What could help, however, is Claire sharing about when she first started dating Marten. There are actually quite a few parallels - first time in a romantic relationship, never expected to be in a relationship, anxiety about possibly being rejected over body stuff - so I think Claire would be a great person for Bubbles to talk to about this. Assuming that Claire can show restraint of course but we have seen her working on that already.
So I'll put my money on Bubbles at the coffee shop talking to Claire. Although this does also seem like a natural pause spot for this arc so I wouldn't be surprised if Jeph switches to focus on another arc for a while.

These have been a tough couple of days, honestly. Inability to really talk about what's going on in the comic for fear of giving too much away leading to picking silly fights about the meaning of "plurality" and "rejection." :roll:
If we don't get a week of bonus comics about red pen lady, I will be be disappoint. I am kinda jealous of her simple red pen pleasure.

I suspect she got it from http://www.penisland.net/.

That's a good question. I'd normally say 'Hannelore' but she's in Mongolia right now. I would strongly recommend against Dora or Tai because they'd likely say something like: "Go for it and then tell us how good it was". Unless Jeph is planning on making Marten's life difficult, he is unlikely. It's possible that I do Dora and Tai a disadvantage. Maybe, teasing aside, they can at least give Bubbles some advice about how humans react to surprising feelings.
FWIW, if it's Claire, then I hope that she tells Bubbles about the Head Scritching Incident and how that convinced Marten that he was physically attracted to her. Sometimes it takes moments like that to short-circuit social awkwardness and Bubbles should be aware that Faye may have had an epiphany of sorts.
