As long as it lasts … can we please have nudes of Zlata as long as she dwells in that body? Please? PLEASE??
Hello Atalz! :-D
The systems guy in me randomly wonders if QC AIs have some kind of enduring ID that follows their instance around, such that other AIs can recognise them regardless of how they're embodied, assuming they choose to make it 'visible'. A bit like a transponder code or hardware MAC address, for example
Maybe it's just a "fingerprint" other AIs can sense. Kinda like how the Director knew it was Yay poking around.
Happy emergence to the world, grown Zlata! Sorry that the greeter for the world did not appear to be ready for the new you…
Panel 1: “tell me something only the real Zlata would know!”
Zlata: "But if it is something that only I would know then you would also not know this thing, which would make it impossible you to verify the accuracy of the statement. So this seems to be a flawed method for confirming m-" Moray: "Yep, it's her."
I am DISAPOINTED! Boobpocalypse did not happen. I'm still hopeful for boobpocalypso.
I think Moray and Melon should open a detective agency.
We could name it Melray's Place!
If Zlata does decide she isn't keeping the body, have we considered the idea that maybe.......... Moray could transfer into the body? Is that even an option? She'd be able to experience things she isn't normally able to on account of her being gelatinous.
As far as we know, Moray's body is also her computational substrate - she's a fundamentally different technology from the other AIs in QC.
Why do all AI who change bodies come out so chesty? I am not complaining it's just odd that none ever come out smaller or like less humanoid.
You'd have to ask Jeph; I have no idea.
"I'm Atalz, and I come from, uh...some place far away! Yes, that will do."
Where did Zlata's accent go?
It's stuck in the old body.
I wonder if Moray is baffled and chiefly upset Zlata didn’t apply for Bodily Integration PTO. It’s covered! Take the damn time!
I wonder if PTO for AIs is like Total Recall where you can just download an experience as a vacation.
Zlata, No! Dont impersonate your sister! That can only end in tragedy! And possibly time travel! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4166
This made me reread like the next 30 strips and I got to the one where Brun got hit by a keg at the bar and Elliot comes to check on her. I wish we got an Elliot/Brun arc after he and Clinton split.
Wait... how do siblings work with AIs again? I swear there was a comic that addressed it.
Not sure about all of the chassis, but Melon and Lemon are two of 2049 sisters whose palettes appear to be the only difference in appearance. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3906
And here's one for BookBeard. Now... Cosette broke up with Steve over his drunk buying a boat, right? So what will happen when Tortura finds her? Will there really be a whole lot of happy pigs or will drunk buying a boat be enough to cause Tortura to relent?
I say she sides with Cosette on that one,
When you're feeling remiss 'Cause she think you're your sis That's A Moray!
Now the real hard part here will be the confession: Zlata to Moray: "Moray, I... I... I... (how do I say this?) " Moray to Zlata: "?" Zlata to Moray: "I drunk bought a new body, and I need help returning it!" Moray to Zlata: "Zlata, YOU FOOL!"
Moray! You got IN!
"There is no Zlata, only Zluul!"
Suddenly, Pintsize starts running around going "I am the Pee-master!" It turns out to be a complete coincidence.
You still could be your own sister Zlata hon. All you need is a Bluetooth remote for your old body and the two of you could walk around town with nobody the wiser. You could also pull off a hell of a ventriloquist act, given the differences in height. Failing that, just do a "Weekend At Bernie's" with your old body -- Moray would never know the difference.
Pintsize has an app he would like to recommend. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3554
So weird
In that Zlata thinks she needs to be embarrassed.
If she said yes, we’d be in a cheap 80s sitcom.
So Bosom Buddies? (Young Tom Hanks cross dressing is the only thing I remember about that sitcom.)
Since "Zlata" means "gold" in Ukrainian, passing yourself off as your sister "Sriblo" (silver) would not be too much on the nose for this universe.
"There is nothing funny about impersonating my friend Zlata. For example, if you tried impersonating a combine you could kill people!"
Strangely, people used to confuse me with my brother even though we look nothing alike.
I'd say something funny here but I've been in the same situation. Say! Aren't you Dave / Bill / Richard / Jim/ Tim Bonnar??? We went to school... (Is it my fault I have five brothers?)
I think Zlata's consciousness just ran died_years_ago.exe.
Also from yesterday when Moray told us that Zlata’s voice is different, I’m betting Zlata’s voice went from Ukrainian Slavic to Hungarian which somehow not in the language tree that is proto-indo-european language tree. English, especially modern English, is like a knothole in the language tree.
Maybe her younger sister Ambub.
Took me a second to see what you were doing.
Atalz? Why do I like that so much?
Whole Zlata Atalz.
I ship Atalz with Netram Deer.
I picture Netram Deer as having a beard that he idly strokes as he hatches evil schemes.
When she’s suddenly hot like the sister she’s not … that’s Zlata, a-Moray.
Personally, I think Zlata should keep the body but fix her hair. That frizzy hair on this body? Adorable.
... then add in a Librarian sweater. For reasons.
🎵 When a lady of goo Thinks that you are not you That's a Moray!
Now and forever atlaZ.
You can't fool Moray!
It is true! Only a fool can fool her.
Poor Zlata. Still has too many inhibitions to properly impersonate her own imaginary sister. Wait.
Now kiss 🥹
Yes, please!
