Of course! That would have been a perfect alternative! I'm sure Sam would get along brilliantly with the spiders! :-D
edit: And exploding coffee machines! I forgot all about the exploding coffee machine!
...On second thought, maybe it's best if Sam stays as far away from CoD as possible... :-\

It might be because in Polish, the word "Fuchsia" actually has the "-ks-" pronunciation, so the spelling ("fuksja" in Polish) is more obvious from how the word sounds than in English* , but I find the misspelling as "Fuschia" distracting. I keep mentally parsing it as something pronounced "fus-kya".
Yes, I know it's a nitpick. Can't help it.
*I didn't know until today morning that in English it's pronounced "foo-shya". I always figured it's "fook-sya".

Okay now they're approaching hazing territory. Although, IMO, it's still fairly harmless teasing. I would say that it's only hazing if there's an element of planned ritual humiliation to it and they let Sam find out that the doohickey is a shelf bracket on her own after taking it to the police station for 'disposal'. This, on the other hand, was just a spontaneous outburst of humour.
FWIW, I like the idea of 'Code Fuchsia and I wonder how its name came about. For some reason, I can see Mess Orderly 2nd Class Bubbles chasing a yappy dog around the mess hall with a purple dishcloth. Well... it wasn't really purple as much as fuchsia, hence the name.
I can also see Mechanic 3rd Class Bubbles, just starting out at the Motor Pool, being sent for a can of headlight fluid and a left-handed spanner whilst knowing that there's no such thing but realising that this is a sort of initiation and that, if she didn't do it, Master Sergeant Bully would just get madder at the 'tin can soldier'. That, by the way, is hazing.

Okay. Now it's hazing. :evil:

Yes, and I don't think it's something they should be joking about. I'm not sure who is President of the United States in the Questionable Content universe, but if it's Duke Orangegrab then I'd be terrified that he might just order a missile strike.
Is it cold in here?:
Since Sam has been left by her parent, is she now the waif of the fuchsia?
