It's In The Lease
whew, I think that finally wraps up this robot-centric story! Time to catch up with some of the rest of the cast.

I just wanted to mention I liked the vibration effect for the explosion.
They have talked about this
Good! enjoyed the robots but need much more Claire!
I need more OLLIE! Pointy boi FTW!
Aww, I wanted to see what mays new body was going to look like
I know what she would WANT it to look like... https://i.stack.imgur.com/jg0VX.jpg
Is Melon a hobbit? 2 dinners?!
I thought Melon's security deposit was gone years ago.
Darn. I really was hoping to see May get a new body. Hopefully that's how our next visit to AI-focused stories starts!
I wonder if Roko will drop by Union Robotics and mention this weird AI that's been hanging around. Love to see Bubble's and Faye's reaction.
She knows that both of them know about Yay Newfriend, though they may not be appraised of their new name.
I love that Roko used Yay's full name, but I can't decide if she did so because she's keeping the relationship formal, or because she's buying into and appreciating the joke.
I took it as Roko being sarcastic about it.
stupide question but ... will there is a yaaaaaay newfriend hospital wing?
What's Melon doing having a second dinner after 9pm. That's when she has her Oobleck bath!
Nope, never saw her with a bag from the store ...
Now that the end of the arc has been reached, I have one burning question: did Roko remember to buy the shampoo?
I want to know what happened to establish this rule
I absolutely love Roko's expression in the fifth panel!
I feel this panel in my SOUL.
Yay said they didn't want to keep Roko up. In my head now, AIs with more advanced bodies like Roko can go into low power mode when they run low on battery, which causes them to act weird like a sleep-deprived human, but they don't just fall over like May's cheap model. Yup, that's canon now.
I bet even May's cheap body is supposed to do that. It just doesn't anymore, since the battery level detection is fubar.
Oh god, humans? Can we ease in with how Hanners is doing? Maybe see what sort of shenanigans Station & Tilly are up to?
No, sorry, this is Post Singularity, so it's "All AIs, All the Time!"
I wonder what Steve is doing?
eating cereal.
Yay robots! Now you just need to make the Spookybot spinoff series that turns out to be the Alice Grove prequel.
Does this mean that that hospital will get to have a Yaaaaaaaay Newfriend hospital wing?
Hanners maybe?????
Hey, wait a second ... Melon just used a contraction! I thought Yay was the only AI who did that. Is Melon really a sort of idiot-savant AI genius?
Roko used them too. I think you're putting too much thought into it
Wait! Is it "Yaaaaaaaay" or "Yaaaaay"? Or can it connonically contain any number of "a"s, as dictated by context?
Yes
Yaaaay A. Newfriend. What does the A stand for? Another!
Another vote for more robot arcs!
This has been an absolutely delightful arc.
Melon has the only security deposit with margin calls.
Reminds me of what the Opportunity rover said to NASA
I love those final two panels, Roko looks hilariously frazzled.
I may or may not be really rooting for Yay and Roko to move in together. I adore their dynamic.
Yes! Yako!
LOL- interesting that Roko invoke's Christ's name. Do robots believe in a "God"?
Oooooooh, that's an interesting question!
I'm sure we'll check in a few weeks and get caught up.
Man. I would not mind if this comic was AI only.
You gotta have at least some humans for May to enjoy.
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I love our idiot robot daughter.
