I'm having fun imagining Moray being carbonated

Have I mentioned how much I wanna make out with Aurelia lately? Cuz WOW I do 🥺
Same
I know there's no reason for Moray's biology to produce farts, but I am picturing her suddenly having a line of bubbles moving up inside the goo!
I keep coming back to the Director hand-picking Claire out of what must be a lot of qualified librarian resumes. That suggests a personal connection. If it's not Station, it has to be Yay; no one else in the high-powered AI world has any connections to the coffee shop crew. But that would mean Yay is still hiding (Station was extremely interested in Yay's existence). Hypothesis: Yay is the Director's Grand Vizier, complete with pointed Van Dyke beard.
I want this to be true, just to see Yay with the beard.
Marten would probably also find work there, if everyone already think that he's cute. Why only movie sets should have Best Boys?
Also... 🎶When a bot's made of goo, And she's bubbly too, That's-a Moray.🎶
It's that green slime stuff from "You Can't Do That on Television".
Moray often says she doesn't know things...
Her name is 'Moray' (a notoriously bitey eel) and she's made of goo. The question must be asked: "What that mouth do?"
Takes notes. Literally.
♫ When an AI wants you, but she's bubbly with goo, that's a Moray. When it's dicey as hell, but your boyfriend says "chill", that's a Moray. An alarm's in your head, signaling-a-ling you'll be dead, if you stay. And there's fear in your heart, but you'll give it a start, anyway. It's a town that's called "Cube", where the AIs drip lube, what the hey. You'll be such a success, though the place is a mess every day. So it's Y.O.L.O., you've decided to go, sail away! Set your speed dial to Station, and take a vacation, with Moray! ♫
Back in the 60s, the band "Traffic" had a nice song called "Medicated Goo". I suppose I could turn its lyrics into something descriptive of Moray, and call it "Carbonated Goo". :D
there are so many younger folks commenting here that it's always a bit of a shock to find someone else who remembers Traffic & especially Medicated Goo - I don't recall a lot of airplay for that one. now Jeph just needs to work in the B-side - Shanghai Noodle Factory.
I wonder if this is a hidden joke here, but Moray "like an eel" could be said as like an E. E. L., like an acronym for her type of AI or chasse. Did anyone else get this from the name or am I reading too deeply into it?
Moray seems bubbly enough to be carbonated already.
Moray's last name is "Unagi"
Unagi is freshwater. Moray's last name would have to be "Anago".
goo girl :3
We get to keep her!
Marten has reasonable expectations on this trip
I vote for Slime or Silly Putty
now i'm going to be singing Hot Lemonade all day.
Now I want to see Moray 'eating' mentos. Fun on it's own in my head, but you know the janitor will HATE the cleanup.
I'm imagining when she sprung a leak, times a thousand.
When you look for a job, and your contact's a blob, that's a Moray.
When your career's down the tube, so you move to a cube, that's a Moray.
I'm secretly hoping that Moray has a horrific pharyngeal jaw.
I didn't know that I was until you mentioned it.
As a parent I can *hear* Aurelia’s consternation
"Tight lips and cold feet", typical parental ailments (I say, as one myself).
When an eel meets your eye but she's made out of slime, that's a Moray.
Bubble, bubble, this bot is trouble
When your skin's all a-tingle, like a carbonated Pringle, that's a Moray
Angry upvote
When you're mailing a goo, who manages a cube, that's a-moray
The Augustus women are so cute.
Marten is way too chill. He thinks it's all about Claire. He has no clue what's going to happen to him at Cubetown!
It's going to be fun when the AIs do a background check on Marten. Starting with being one of Hannelore's best friends, all the way down to peripheral connections with Yay and the other odd AIs floating around that part of the city.
That's a Moray!
All of the Augustuses should come along.
Eels, honey!
Eeeeeeels, Mom
Come to think of it, actual moray eels are covered with green slime.
Is working with Moray going to be like being at sea world, where you will get wet if within close proximity? Should they pack stain resistant clothing?
Well... only if you get her excited.
Hey, Aurelia also hasn't had a haircut. Did everyone get together and make a bet to see who would go the longest?
If Moray's carbonated she should probably stay away from Mentos. . o O (Now I'm imagining a scenario where she is carbonated and tries to take over the world, and the resistance uses Mentos as a last-ditch attempt to save everyone. It would either end with a Ghostbusters-style Stay Puft a splosion, or an Akira-style body horror swelling. Not sure which.)
That might explain the "Don't explode" note on the wall.
Could be Mountain Dew!
Don’t feed her mentos!
What is Faye's reaction to this? Or Pintsize? Oh God, Pintsize would wreak so much havoc at Cubetown!
It's a really good question. Faye obviously has Bubs now but for a long time Martin was her main support network. I hope we get to see them interacting before he and Claire head off to Cubetown.
blub
Or some kind of oceanic trauma being dredged up?
What would happen if you put Moray in a Soda Stream?
[redacted]
Okay, Aurelia is looking a bit concerned. Is the idea of her eldest child, her daughter, actually leaving beginning to hit her?
i think she's more concerned about the general sketchiness of the destination
Wait, is Aurelia coming along?
She does have a bubbly personality
I came here to say this but knew in my heart it had already been said.
Fizzy!
