brasca:
Maybe Elliot wants someone that’s easier to work with than Renee.
Since the Secret Bakery is supposed to mirror Coffee of Doom does that make Roko the Colette or Hannelore of this business?

They do ?

Is it cold in here?:

--- Quote from: Pogopotamus on 10 Dec 2018, 14:48 ---So ...assuming AIs get to "choose" a body and Bubbles appears to be a MILspec super duty fighting/military chassis that (assumedly) she got when she became a solider do we further assume they get to keep whatever hardware they had from the last job they performed? You'd think the military might want that specialized hardware chassis back for re-use or just might not want it wandering around the civilian landscape. They did take back Pintsize's death ray.

I don't have time to hunt through the archives right now, but I think Bubbles implied at some point that the military let her keep the assault chassis in return for her continued silence about any mismanagement of the program and in lieu of any actual therapy for her PTSD. Which is a pretty cruddy consolation prize if you ask me. I don't get the feeling that the military would be in the habit of letting retired AI soldiers keep all kinds of milspec gear. Although there was the one clerkbot Marigold and Momo met at the chassis store that claimed she still had the launch codes for the nuclear submarine she used to be.... not sure if she's a credible witness though.

Welcome, new person!
Another speculation is that it's like being allowed to keep your uniform when you muster out, an idea with the obvious weakness that any chassis which makes it possible to explode craters in brick walls is a weapon rather than a garment.
War Sparrow:
Elliot is Jane Bennet.
I am convinced.

Maybe, but I'd kind of assumed they were just using "they" because they were talking so abstractly.
--- End quote ---
They could be, but...it just seems like in panel 2, Basilisk is talking very directly about Beepatrice. It could also mean that the comments in the corners of these comics refer to Beepatrice specifically, which I actually think would make more sense. Since they could both be using the plural "they," though, I guess we'll have to wait and see.
