Greymoon:
Well, Faye, as usual, has zero chill. Damn, woman, I can't wait till Bubs hits you with that clue-by-four.

BenRG:
Now we do get into one of Faye's behavioural flaws, which is her issues with not personifying AIs' chassis. I think the problem is that, because she's learned so much about how they are constructed and work, she has difficulty seeing them as someone's body as opposed to a really, really sophisticated domestic appliance. As we see, this is a real problem if she's manhandling someone who is already having body image issues. I wonder if surgeons have the same problem IRL?

I do like the point Jeph makes in the footer text. This isn't malicious. Faye was genuinely trying to be helpful by being positive and upbeat. The problem is that she chose just the wrong tack and may have actually intensified Roko's problems.

That aside, I really want to know what Roko was going to say in panel 3. Probably 'I'm not really sure I like having human ears'. It's a bizarre thing to say on the face of it but it seems to fit how she's reacting right now.

Finally, seeing Melon and Lemon together is a nice moment. I can't help but imagine that the two of them are actually very similar in behaviour. Additionally, am I the only one that shuddered at the thought of 'playing' with a nuclear reactor control system, even an intelligent one?

brasca:
I suppose Roko’s clothes not fitting is possible, but lacks the comedic potential of enhanced smelling.  She never struck me as a someone who cared much for her wardrobe so she probably wouldn’t have much to replace anyway.

TRenn:

Especially an intelligent one. :-o

Cornelius:
Not really; I imagine they're coming close to Station, and that they can just let the power plant run on an autonomous subsystem, so they can play and party without any real risk to anyone.
