Is there a twist coming up? Roko was forced to change bodies and hated it. Will May be similarly reluctant? Sure, maintenance could be cheaper but still - a new body?
Beepatrice probably isn't the one to talk to in that department. Somebody break out their heavy gun: NELSON! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3954
Oh, I'd completely forgotten that sequence! Thanks.
Sometimes, that really is all it takes.
bureaucracy montage? waiting in line and filling write only forms in triplicates?
To be fair, the odds that May would have tried the "asking nicely" option without being prompted are effectively zero :)
Given current dynamic Roko will either leave or get in charge of this whole group. Either way it can help her with a) getting better understanding of her life goals, and even b) her BDD. Oh, and I hope May will get her "bomb rack" either way.
I love Rokos change in facial expression from panel 2 through 4 😂
oh my gosh I love every character here SO MUCH.
Beeps... Has NEVER actually DONE any of this before... Has she. This entire organization hasn't ever done this before... Have they. Oh, boy. This will be interesting to watch, at the very least.
Story ends with Roko agreeing with May: having experienced incompetence and corruption both in the police and in the ostinsible help organization, she concludes that everything and everyone do, in fact, suck,

Same. Exactly what I needed first thing this morning.
Ask her about her job, ask her about her job, ask her about her job
ASK THE WOMAN ABOUT HER JOB
Be fair May - you would never think of it yourself.
It's okay. It's physically impossible for May to ask nicely, so she needed Roko's help in that anyway.
I would be so happy if they just ask nice and the person was like "what you should have been out of that temp body months ago!"
So, wait, has this organization helped anyone yet? Ever?
Wait. I think I can predict the future: Roko is wearing a "beep Boop" shirt. And just introduced May to Beepatrice. She must have a sister Boopatrice. That's my prediction!
Or maybe this is Roko's unsubtle way of saying she wants to give Beep a Sombra Boop?
I want May to get the biggest bondonhonkaroos
May, it's not just about asking nicely. It's about <i>the right people</i> asking nicely.
The right people asking the other right people nicely*
I have to say, one of the things I find most interesting about QC is robot culture. I bet if May had her way, her new body would include a generous amount of silicone...
If May had her way it'd be a Fighter Jet.
Oh my...is our angry blue robot about to get a chassis upgrade? Will Beep and Roko succeed in their jobs? Will Roko ever feel comfortable in her new body? Find out next time on Dragon Ba.....I mean, Questionable Content!
After 5 weeks of screaming.
That look on May's face in the last panel, along with her line, made me laugh SO HARD.
I don't remember what she does for work now. What is her new job?
You mean Roko? IIRC, it's an AI rights advocacy group.
Question: do AIs use the restroom? And if so, how does Crushbot find a toilet sturdy enough to withstand him?
There was some strip at some point that asked that question. Clinton was at a sitdown restaraunt and his AI companion stepped away to the washroom. He asked his google glasses what an AI would be doing in the washroom but it's implied that all that popped up was nasty nasty porn.
I'm feeling the rumblings of an "uh oh" with Beepatrice :\
Is May capable of being nice?
Yes, but she DOES hide it well. An example: Except for May (and Momo) Dale and Marigold wouldn't be together.
May is fixin’a rage quit ...
I’m just looking forward to seeing May in a new chassis.
Lmao, oh May. If all you had to do was ask ...
She asked...just not nicely lol. And who can blame her--it's hard to be nice when THERE IS A GIANT HOLE IN YOUR FACE AND YOUR ARM IS OFF.
be fair, May, it's not like that would ever occur to you!
She did ask her case worker to pay for her repairs earlier. Her arm had fallen off making her work very difficult, and they still said it was a no go.
The Three Primary Personalities, shown by the three Primary Colours!
Red = Firary Yellow = Sunny Blue = Angry?
I suspect that will not be all it takes.
Morgan Freeman: It was not, in fact, all it takes.
And so begins with the AI power hour!
Start by looking for the Standards of Work (or whatever the local equivalent is). Usually, you can find the first steps to go from there.
Cue May getting a new body, Sven telling her he liked the old one just fine, and wacky hijinks to find the old one before it gets processed for disposal.
This body has enough problems that I don't think she'd stay in it just to please a sexual partner. The battery thing has been compared to some pretty severe human medical conditions. If you were living with Narcolepsy and somebody offered you a cure, but then that boy you boinked last friday said it made you less sexy, would you continue passing out at odd intervals just to please him?
Well at least she's very cute and I love her, so she's got that much going for her
Which one? Roko? Beepatrice? Or May?
I'm sorry but Beepatrice is just the BEST name ever.
