C'mon, people, get into a deep schmooze about that math!
Ruh-oh…
Well, this can go one of two ways.
Fascinating new forms of matter are created between those teeth.
"What are you working on these days?" "Well, the funny thing about that is--"
It’s nice to establish Emily as a fan of Liz. I think it’ll help fuel their friendship/possible romance (if Liz can crush on Marten, then Emily is fair game).
I wonder, could Moray reassemble herself if she stepped on a mine?
or would you get a lot of little Morays?
It’s interesting to me that Liz still feels shame over not being productive in her research. Like, she does not understand her burn out, at all.
Burnout can just make the shame worse. I've been unproductive, no time to rest now! Got to get busy with failing at trying to be productive. It's a terrible cycle, and I've lived it.
Emily is going to fix Liz. I'm excited to see it.
And Liz will make Emily worse. They'll meet in the middle.
The floor is so lava.
Liz, tell her about how those people shouldn't have used the transform on that matrix! You can do a collaborative letter to the editor if your pride doesn't get in the way!
That or Emily figures out a way that you CAN apply a Mack-Munroe transform to a Shpachuk-Woodford matrix, which they test and the universe promptly implodes. Could go either way. Probably about 50/50.
Oh, the two of them are gonna be FUN.
Can’t wait!
Ahhahahahahahah!
This is the part we've all been waiting for. :)
The Inspiration has landed.
Liz is nervous because she’s basically a full-time slash-fic writer now.
I don't think slash-fic. Perhaps a rom com about a young scientist who has an AI companion with whom they go motorboating. Regularly. In great, repetative detail.
"The math was super fun" has to be one of the top ten things you'll never hear from my mouth.
Well now we just have to hear the other nine :)
Maybe Emily will teach Liz the art of random assorted projects just cause you can. She's certainly made enough successful ones. (Or Liz will feel inadequate for it - could go either way honestly.)
Liz: You've heard of Imaginary Numbers? I do Imaginary Math. It's so high level you can't see it!
Or otherwise called linear algebra.
Ooo - friends! This is a positive thing. If this smashes Liz’s pretender syndrome — I’ll be happy.
Conceivably, maybe, possibly, y'know, Emily and Liz could pan out as a quantum dynamics doctoral duo. Emily's chaos; Liz's physics; both of their mathematical madness...possibly CubeTown is the only place on Earth that could handle the two of them teaming up. Narrator: And with this partnership, technological progression led inexorably to the events depicted in the Alice Grove historical documentary, despite the efforts of the hastily assembled team of Lemon, Melon, Roko Basilisk, and Yay Newfriend.
She never asks *which* dissertation. Didn't she get two PhDs at the same time?
Can you get two degrees with one dissertation?
Nothing sets you on edge quite like "hey, I read your dissertation!"
"The math was super fun!" I wonder how many months it took Liz to finalize that "super fun" math.
„I thought we had cleared up *that* misunderstanding with the Institute for experimental Sea Mining ⛏️ last month already! Or it’s the Institute for Shenanigans again. Or somebody left a sweater on the floor… or“ „uhhh Moray, at this point I‘m not sure why you‘d be surprised.“ „Well, it’s *rude*. -Not to invite Regret and Violence.“
Hey, this technique worked for Clinton. I mean, it was a bit of a rocky start, but they ended up getting along eventually. Although, on the other hand, Liz isn't drunk this time... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5278
I'm guessing he never got to that "single paragraph summary"...
Liz, detach an arm and toss it! This will distract her!
Liz detaching an arm and pretending to throw it would certainly distract me for an embarrassing length of time.
Jeph meant "MIME field". Very different. Silently haunting. Bated breath stuff.
Silent but deadly.
Wow, my teeth make that exact noise when I need to hold in my darkest impulses…
Emily will somehow be the catalyst for Liz getting something work related done.
Emily is going to become Liz's overly energetic kouhai.
No mines in the coffee shop; Marten hired a rat to sniff them out.
Of course there are mines. Where do you think they dig up the coffee beans from?
Kudos for the tall/smol camera angles for the shots of Emily and Liz.
Hey! I see you shipping over there. Stop that. (or don't, I'm not your boss)
Sounds like a job for Her Majesty's Kamikaze Highlanders!
When a girl made of brine Is concerned 'bout a mine That's A Moray!
The kind of brine that I would not to pickle a pickle or marinate a chicken in.
It is spring, the mines have only just been planted, they will take a while to grow up to blow up.
That sounds like a joke, but I bet someone is working on landmines you literally plant.
I have been in the Gremlin's shoes. More or less exactly. It's terrifying.
Well yeah, I'd be scared of getting bitten in that situation too. That's why you should never put on a gremlin's shoes.
may not be as much a minefield as an oursfield.
Boo! Bzad pun.
ApplebooMinefield.
Putting the BOOM in Appleboom.
Here we go! Hang on!!
Oh, boy! Here we go! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5010
Aaand the ship has left the Cubetown harbor. I repeat the Emily-Elizabeth ship has left the harbour. THIS IS NOT A DRILL!
The good ship Gremily left the harbor & sailed directly into the Strait of Hormuz.
I'd say Emily is about to taste foot, but I'm sure she will just blow through the awkwardness in her usual manner
This could either be the first step on Liz's return to cutting edge science or the day Emily's murder was first plotted.
No way it's the first time her murder was plotted. Somewhere in a locked filing cabinet at NRO headquarters is a folder marked "E. Azuma contingencies [CLASSIFIED]".
Honestly she might just need someone to talk technical with, this could be a really good development!
okay but i think if anyone could fix liz
"She's really embarrassed" "Why should she be embarrassed? Did you know about the cosmic jungle squirrel who only comes up with a new idea once every 14 years? Where's the chalk?"
There are mimes in here?
It's all right, they're trapped in a box.
I could see this being super good, actually
