Hi, Lemon
good job lemon

You can't hide nuthin' from an ex-cop, lemon. Especially not baloons.
ballons?
I just realised something about Lemon's hair standing up in surprise in that last panel. All over Lemon's head are miniscule motors attached to every follicle specifically designed to raise her hair up whenever she experiences a shock. Furthermore, some technician probably spent hours designing those, calculating how much to raise the hair boy, measuring the angle of the hairs to make sure they convey "surprise" rather than "static overload" and running simulations on it to check. So much creation and effort, all to mimic something humans do without thinking. I salute you, you weird AI hair people. o7
Given how much biomimicry we've seen in the newer artificial bodies, it might just be artificial skin recreating the same follicle action as Skin Classic.
Anyone want to place bets on if her little Pumpernickel Problem was a glitch that helped cause the retirement of her old body? Whole new sensorium are likely to much with that. Of course increased fidelity could end up having the opposite effect as well I guess.
It would be majorly sucky if this model fixed a "design flaw" that previously let her enjoy bread.
...now I'm wondering if the other AIs have nipples or not
Pretty sure Crushbot doesn't. Neither do DROID 06 or Gary (maybe spinerettes for Gary, but not nipples)
Lemon's line in panel 4 makes me wonder whether she's been through a similar experience. She seems so certain.
Sight. Why I have the impression this whole roko arc is in order to make her "fuckable" by Clinton?
Because you're thinking of the characters as relationship puzzle pieces instead of individuals? I made that mistake earlier in the comic, but some folks in the forums helped me calm down and pay attention to their individual threads instead of spending my time in "shipping" mentality.
So, one possible story turn would be for Roko to go to the bakery to test her... bread sensitivity. Elliot would compliment her new looks, oblivious to her trauma (another social fumble for our sweet cookie-doughboy), this leads to adorable apology, promise to bake a very special bread for her, small time-skip for the Cosmo update and lo and behold - they wake up on the floor of bakery together, startled by Renée, who comments on the glowing butt logo.
Poor Elliot, adrift in a sea of relationship polygons.
World's greatest detective
She should become a polic.... oh right.
I'm also wondering who will be the first to comment on Roko looking hotter now.
Frankly, I don’t think she does. But everyone has their own notion of what is “hot”.
Must be kind of weird to walk out of a store she didn't walk into!
I imagine it is very similar to walking out of a hospital you didn't walk into
Does this body have the reinforced processor casing that her last body had? Was it still an option, since she's no longer a cop? Could the casing from her previous body be salvaged (either for her own use, if it wasn't normally available, or by Union Robotics to upgrade anotherAI)?
I imagine that reinforced casing is not difficult to obtain, for your more active A.Is. Lemon mentioned that she still has the same mainframe, so I assume that the hardware was just installed in the new body. Whether the casing was with it is unknown. That said, any protective casing that has been in a serious incident should be replaced. As even if it protected the core, it may still have sustained damage itself.
Loon + Balloon = No Surprises
Lemoon + Balloon. XD
How did she know? It was easy-peasy-Lemon-squeezy.
Were I there, I'd be very tempted to give Lemon a little squeezy :-) Also, one used to be able to buy Melon & Lemon Jam in Oz back in the day ;-) <a href="https://www.facebook.com/IXLjams/posts/666386330042817" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/IXLjams/posts/666386330042817</a>
Roko is a great new character. I do really want a pin up now though
While Roko is one of the most recent additions to the cast, I certainly wouldn’t call her “new”. She’s been around for over 2 years.
Theory. The logo on the shirt matches the logo we didn't see
So... when do we meet Orange, Pineapple, Honeydew, and Lime?
And what about the other 2043 sisters?
I would have thought AIs would know not to waste Helium in balloons.
It's from Pintsize. It's not filled with anything so benign as Helium.

I'm pretty sure we're in 20019 by now: <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3127" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3127</a>
Of course the real test I'm waiting for is how she will respond to the smell of fresh baked bread in this new body. That could really make or break her acceptance of it.
Yup, I was thinking the same thing -- a minor sensorium upgrade, even if not entirely about that, is likely to notably, er, enhance the experience. I do hope that doesn't lead to a "bread doesn't SMELL RIGHT" result.
Yeah....she's Melon's sister alright.
I'm beginning to nemeses the Relationship....
Her hair looks really cute like this, I hope she keeps it
She just needs some nice, warm bread to help her reintegrate... :)
Lemon and Melon are definitely sisters.
Exactly what I was thinking
Don't worry Roko, you'll get through this.
those clothes are a very different look for her
This gave me a painful awareness of having to give my body a signal on what to do. Like breathing in manual mode.
Now I'm breathing on manual mode, thankyou very much
So is Lemon our slightly smarter yet still idiotic daughter?
It's possible her whole AI line has been created with literally "have a fatal flaw" as a feature. I mean, at one point, AIs might just want to simulate derpiness, and the FruitCakes random seed (Melon, Lemon and co.) might literally be one of the early experiments about it.
Her anxiety seems to be ballooning out a bit...
Well, she did have a near death experience
I love Lemon
do the nipples serve some sort of functional purpose, or...?
Probably.
