Bubbles cannot be stopped
Just went back trying to find May's original holo form, and found this.. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3004 Bubbles has changed quite a bit in the last 5 years o3o
Bubbles! Verbose response off please! :)
I picture a Bubbles "furious counterattack" as a reddish blur - followed by a lot of enemy equipment and uniforms simply falling apart leaving a bunch of naked disarmed soldiers. (Yay applauding politely from the sidelines with an "old fashioned, but effective" comment.)
I'm sure she can put a pretty good bit of speed on a single movement, but shes too much of a tank to be a blue... Especially in her armor. Maybe a tank that can hit 30 or 40 mph on paved roads and run FOREVER without tiring, but still a tank. The Inverse Square Law hits you harder the bigger you get. Moving her body in a running motion at the speed required to make her appear as a "red blur" to human vision would put INCREDIBLE strain on every bit of her frame, especially at the joints. Assuming even that she was capable of both doing that and withstanding it, the momentum carried by her limbs at that speed would destroy the surface she ran on and splatter body parts that she touched. It would be Impossible to both move that fast AND be gentle... Watching her surprised (unarmed, except herbody itself) counter attack would probably be more like watching the Juggernaut tear into an enemy, but with Professor Hulk's intelligence
Bubbles doesn't mess around
And suddenly I want to watch Bubbles streaming X-COM to see how she employs guerilla tactics.
Can I use her as a reference someday? :)
Bubs does have a tendency to get intense, doesn't she? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3277
Now Claire needs a third OTT component for her applications to go with this and Marten's cover letter https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4361
Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is classical literature! The History of Warfare is the next isle over!
Rogal Dorn would be proud!
Witty Comment.
Bubbles! This is a LIBRARY! I hope you're at least using silencers! ("suppressors")
This is gonna end up with Bubbles fighting a crocodile in an australian library, isn't it?
... I'd read it.
If a Bubbles-class AI+chassis ever went rogue, I'm not sure local police forces would be sufficient to stop them. Well, if they also have a few battle-bots of their own I suppose.
Maybe an ED 209 or two.
I'm not clear how one would know it will be possible to "destroy in detail" -- meaning attacking fractional portions of the opposing force, one at a time -- until you know how the enemy is deployed. If their forces are concentrated, it can't be done.
Recon-in-force tactics are implied.
Have you seen the anime called Library War? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_War
Oh god I forgot about Library War!
I'm pretty sure anything less than a .50 cal would just scuff Bubbles' paint and annoy her.
Given that she was disabled by an EMP, but not destroyed or even damaged beyond repair, while her squad was slaughtered around her I wouldn't bank on anything man portable.
Those inter-library rivalries can get pretty intense......
I love Bubbles so much, you guys.
As someone who does hiring in libraries, I'd hire Claire on the basis of this reference so fast
i mean, i'd certainly employ her based on that reference
Bubbles strikes me as possibly nd, that's the kind of literal answer I would expect.
I assume you mean neurodiverse, not North Dakota or Notre Dame or any of the other things Google suggested.
So like, do you put just bubbles(AI) and then a phone number? Do you need to explain she is an AI since she has a one word name? Do people care she is an AI? They have show the gross side of the world not liking them but like, how does that work? Does she have a phone? Does it call her head?
I think previous strips have shown AI characters using a phone or the like instead of more direct means, just because they wanna.
Bubbles: will hype you up in an interview also Bubbles: won't stand for violations of the Geneva Convention
Two questions...What is AO? ....Does Bubbles have any other name than Bubbles?
AO is "Area of Operations", and she does have another name, but due to *things* we don't know what it is.
Bubbles is amazing
Everybody needs a Bubbles in their life.
A good friend? Or a good friend housed in a billion dollars of military-grade hardware?
I need a ride or die friend like Bubbles, dayum...
"I would interrogate enemy units as to why they launched a major ground offensive against a library." This line just tickles me.
Bubbles, sweetie... Just, no.
😂
I'd hire her
Chill, Bubbles. What you said in panel 3 was enough. 🤣
I could use that kind of job reference right now.
I never got personal references on applications. Like, are they just checking to make sure you have friends?
It's a form of nepotism because they want to know if you know people who are super rich/influential.
Bubs is the best. I get the sense that she's much more comfortable with her personal history now, as she's still so passionate about doing what's just/good.
And THEN she'd plant succulents...
THEN unleash the spotted pucculents! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3423
I am having a 'Bubbles squee' moment. Mmm. Eee.
Don't forget your armor!
This is craveworthy content
Damn, I need that reference!
Those library invasion guys are going DOWN.
Should have just paid the overdue fines...
I would kill for this reference
I'd watch this Bubbles defends the library movie.
claire is going to get more job offers than there are libraries
SHE WILL GET TO BUILD HER OWN LIBRARY
I get the feeling that Bubbles would get along well with Strax from Doctor Who. Likely a shared love of grenades, cluster mines, and acid.
If only Bubbles had existed in the same timeline as the Library of Alexandria.
We should all have a friend like Bubbles in our corner!
I love this.
Alexandria could have used some defensive AIs
I love Bubbles so much
Dibs on bubs for my zombie apocalypse team
I love it when Bubbles goes overboard on her statements.
Claire will get every job available, wherever she applies. Or else.
Bubbles getting super carried away with hypothetical scenarios is the best running theme
She has assumed the "I will name it Arthur" stance.
I love Bubbles ❤️
And Claire! Yay!
I say we dust off and research it from orbit
It’s the only way to be safe
She'd do it, too. I've seen her fortify a library.
