--- Quote from: DSL on 01 Oct 2019, 21:23 ---At the Northampton Fire Station, the firefighter says into the phone: "Yes, Ma'am. I see. Thank you." He hangs up the phone and stares thoughtfully off into the distance.
Slowly he turns to face his colleagues.
"She is back," he says.

I'm sure they have her number on caller ID from previous "rescue" calls and other incidents

Tova:
3... 2... 1...

Mr_Rose:
I think Jeph’s comment at the bottom of the strip is important and we should all respect his wishes in this matter.

BenRG:
The really weird part of this conversation is how Bubbles isn't really participating in it at all beyond these weird 'I want/I could' interpositions. It's almost as if she wants to boast in front of Faye and Winslow for some reason. Is she getting bored? Does she want to test her superior combat-optimised chassis against something?

For some reason, I can see Bubbles in camouflage, stalking a deer through the Massachusetts woods, having promised herself that she'll Nerf one of those critters right between the eyes.

Bubbles is worse than the others, but I get the "everyone is having their own little private conversation, even though they're technically listening to each other, and what each person says is connected to the general topic" vibe from everyone, not just her.

EDIT: I reread the strip, and my perception is very much wrong. The conversation actually flows logically from point A to point B to point C, and Bubbles is still on her own thing. Maybe I get the feeling the entirety of the convo is disjointed because what's specifically in focus keeps changing so fast, and that's something I'm generally poorly equipped to handle. In real-life conversations, I tend to be the Bubbles, and that's something I'm mildly ashamed of.
