Moray Is Competent
good job Moray

If Emily is applying to be a researcher and not on the IS, why did Claire have her application? If this were a research college, I'm not sure why the head of the IS department would have. This is less Claire is the IS head librarian and more "actually she just runs Cubetown" which ehhhhh.... And does Moray have say in who is hired for research? As an extension of the Director, I guess that'd be the case, but I'm still a little baffled as to what the Claire-Emily connection is in regards to hiring is. I also don't really love how people assume Emily is going to fix Liz. I mean, I'm sure that's the way its going to go, that Emily bends her personality to somehow crowbar under Liz's general disposition and somehow either turns her into a super genius again (through a research partnership, maybe) or somehow teaches her to accept who she is or something. For the record: I like Emily, I like Liz, I love Claire. A lot of this just feels like way out of left field, but I guess everyone in the comment section here is seeing something I'm not. Interested in seeing where this goes.
Well done Martyn for having the only place in CubeTown that hasn’t featured an explosion
...yet.
Unrelated question to the comics, which are always amazing, does anyone know why when I click to open the image on patron it looks blurry? The same comic on the QC website looks nice and sharp. Anyone else have this issue?
I've seen it occasionally but it's not a regular thing. Restarting the app usually fixes it for me. Unless of course you're trying to look at *really* old posts, in which case it's because Patreon at some point decided that any images from before about mid-2016 ought to be compressed to the point of unreadability.
One could try to give Moray gold stars, but would they actually stick to her surface?
A simple solution: Gold plastic xmas tree stars. They'd float around in her and she could point and say, "That was for remembering to refill the copier paper!"
If it's Marten's day off, does that mean the shop is closed? Because there aren't any other known members of staff. The only person who's filled in for him so far is Moray, and she's obviously not operating the shop.
Closed on Sunday, perhaps? I feel like a coffee shop probably does most of its business during the work week anyway. Or maybe he just leaves out a jar and an "honor system" sign. In this town he might actually make more that way.
But Emily might like the goo tank.
How is she with contact dermatitus?
Yeah the plan for this is coming together. Emily antics made Clinton of all people look cool. She absolutely would be able to do the impossible and tackle Liz's imposter syndrome head on.
This could, however, be a "glycerine + nitric acid" situation. In a good way.
…no booms? OH GOD SOMETHING HAS GONE HORRIBLY WRONG
There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom!
Ok, EVERYBODY has wanted Grem the Elizabeth and Emily to meet. If it's gonna happen this week, it will be here.
Yep. I believe this is exactly what Liz needs. Someone unhinged and intelligent in the field to talk quantum/astrophysics with. Shall we call the ship Gremilzzy?
When not great some things went, Then you turn competent, That’s a-Moray!
"Get in the goo tank, Shinji"
"It rubs the goo on its skin. It does this whenever it is told."
AND THEY WILL BE ROOMMATES???
Possibly even tankmates.
Martin is my spirit animal. Loves a good time, but always has to snap into logical mode when things get slightly off the rails.
It would be nice for Moray to have a friend who seems more enthusiastic about hanging out with her. I have now decided Emily and Moray should be bestest friends, possibly going as far as holding hands.
*gasp* Holding hands? How absolutely scandalous!
When some slime with a grin Invites you to move in That's A Moray!
When it's her tank of goo That she invites you to, That's A Moray!
When she wants a roommate and she rushes the date... that's a Moray.
what are the chances the goo hurts everyone
It probably wouldn't hurt AI's, who are part of "everyone" in the QC universe. But as for us meat folks? I'd say "Lotsa lotsa chances."
Emily is totally going to get into the goo tank. Do we get to see her meet Liz, soon?
They meet when Emily is about to get in the goo tank and Liz bursts in yelling "NOOOOO!"
I wish I had a goo tank...
You mean.... GOO job, Moray????
Boo (that was perfect) boooo (well timed) boo (you got there first)
Explosion free.
Give them a minute...
A lot of the rooms have goo tanks.
Your comment reminds me of my uni days, sharing accommodation with other students 😂😂 i.e.: If you don't clean your dorm room often enough, it slowly turns *into* a goo tank. 🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I want to make a joke about fishing for a retraction, but so far all I have is: - Moray fishing for Marten to retract his comments about her competence - Liz should write something to make the journal retract the bad science if it is bad - Goo tank
if you're Moray's roommate are they all your roommates?
Oh, Emily is gonna get in the goo tank.
For Science!
A country song that was never written: Oh Emilyyyy don't get in the goo tankkk Emilyyyy don't get in the goo tannnk I know Moray has been there But goo is not great skin care So Emilyyy don't get in the goo tankkkk
Welp, that's Sven's new yacht paid for.
As a side note, I think that drawing Moray satisfies Jeph's need to draw thic ladies w/o triggering censors.
"It's coming along" suggests that Marten's empty white room containing a counter, a cash register and a kettle is somehow incomplete. 🤔
Needs more "Ozymandias, lol" posters.
I have a research proposal for determining if QC-universe is a simulation. Put Moray on a mechanical bull inside an earthquake simulator dialed to 11. The jiggle physics alone would be too much for a simulation to handle.
I'm afraid we'd get less of a good result and more of a Zoidberg result. Humans jiggle like that because of muscles and bones.
Anyone else get a flashback to an American Dad episode?
I feel like Emily would have the opposite reaction to the goo than anyone would expect, maybe it makes her skin glow, but literally
She'll absorb the goo, become a Moray/human hybrid, merge with the Director and together they accelerate the technological singularity so much that by morning everyone on earth have become sentient orbs of light. Probably.
Moray drives a hard bargain with all candidates.
Seems to me Moray drives very squishy bargains.
The reel Moray winds onto a spool.
What you did there. I see it.
Get in the goo tank Emily!
Do not get into the goo tank, Emily.
Now can Marten make the Emily special drink that involves a banana?
I think it's copyrighted or patented by The Coffee of Doom. Thus The Coffee of Mood will have to come up with their own.
They are all the real Moray
Moray, you need to accommodate for humans you have a crush on.
I don't think it's actually a crush, but it certainly can read like one. I think the desire she's telegraphing is that she really, really wants Emily to take the job because she figures it would make Marten and Claire happy. And who is Moray if not a creature with an insatiable desire to people* please at all costs? (*AI being part of "people" here.)
