SpookyBot has learned today that Roko's home life is actually quite refreshingly unique. I mean, having a neighbour who has 'lava accidents' alone probably explains why Roko always seems so stressed!
So, it's confirmed that each of the SpookyBots are interconnected nodes of a single collective system. I'm sure that the tech-heads on the forum are about to have a long and fruitful discussion about whether this is or is not technically possible. However, what really interests me is whether each individual node has subtly different personalities or preferences as I suggested in
this post. There could be a technological justification for this (different input streams cause local polymorphic algorithms to evolve in different ways) and it might explain why different 'faces' of SpookyBot seem to react somewhat differently. However, they all share the same memories, so they consider themselves to be the same being.
I'm wondering if SpookyBot is going to meditate on what Roko says in panel 4 and get angsty about how they're maybe becoming 'predictable'.
Yeah, but lava?
It's been established that Melon likes doing things to her chassis that are quite harmful to it. This includes eating 'food' prepared by her room-mate Arthur that are caustic, inserting explosives under her gluteal plating and, as in this case, gargling with liquid thermite so she can pretend to be a volcano.
