Sudden Recognition

They should have come up with a pseudonym. "We are Harbinger"
Depending on when in the timeline that occurred Faye might have heard "We are Hamburger" leading to more confusion.
after rereading Yay's early appearances (#3391-on) I don't see how Marten would recognize them. He wasn't part of those scenes.
Description, presumably. They have a distinctive appearance and presentation, and there's no question it would have been a topic of conversation multiple times.
took my five minutes of trying to figure out if "AI" became a slur before I finally saw that Yay said "fuck"
Both Aurelia and Claire are exhibiting incredible mom energy
She's a mom. She's a librarian. Together they are... Team Mombrarian. In cinemas this fall... you WILL be quiet.
Marten is the node of Yay's hivemind that doesn't realise he is a part of their collective, but has some of their surveillance powers.
Marten has never met them before. Is he going only by what Faye and Bubbles might have said at some point?
It probably wouldn't take much to join the dots.
Yay needs to play them this music video to gently explain how awesome they is! https://youtu.be/lDZ7p7WAG2o 🤘😈🤘 Then follow it with this: https://youtu.be/mr7t3jEDcrw
how awesome they are
Yay fricking looks like they be wearing a beret in Panel 2. :D
(They're)
Yay for Yay! I love this tangent!
No good deed goes un-punished.
And no good Yay goes un-fucLANGUAGE
How hillarious is it that 'the worlds most advanced crypto/security ai' doesn't think in terms of 'people might recognize me by looking at me with their eyes' as a potential security problem. Very hillarious.
Being multi-bodied might give them the illusionary sense "No one will recognize me, they never met THIS body before! I look completely different".
And then they all...
…hugged.
Yay's ever increasing failure to be cool and mysterious is a goddam delight.
Roko's diagnosis remains accurate: "You're a dork" :)
I imagine Yay's volume going up slowly and crescendoing into a boom as they yell lol
“LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!”
Now, unfortunately, everyone has to die.
I wonder if Yay also has some sort of orbital railgun, like Station. But, instead of tungsten rods the size of telephone poles, it bombards it targets with lethal amounts of sass.
I think Yay should be allowed to do SOME unscrupulous activities with Aurelia 😤
I hurt myself laughing
Aurelia better put both of them in timeout
Marten looks shook
it's because he can see the speech bubble's tail right in his face.
Somewhere out there, a Yelling Bird sheds a single tear.
Ouch! I kinda don’t want to know what YB tore…
I am D.Y.I.N.G.
“Defense Yay Internet Node Group”?
Waiting for Faye to pop her head in the door and say "This fu" <"Language!"> "town!"
Glad we got that out of the way in...oh, about ten seconds
"I am a well-wisher in that I don't wish you any specific harm."
I am a well-wisher in that I keep a few coins in my pocket, just in case I pass one while walking.
I am very happy this wasn't some long drawn out process where they would eventually figure out Yay's cover story was bullshit and instead it didn't even last 1 comic. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
Yes, this the best possible unraveling of this particular non-mystery.
I'm confused. I thought everyone in this town already knew each other! You mean it's NOT just one ginormous polycule?
Everyone mostly knows everyone. 3 degrees at most. Unless you’re Martin, then it’s two.
Marten is more observant than half of them., another hit.
So, marten pays attention.
Well he's not very busy otherwise :)
A mom AND a librarian? Yay might not be able to curse for days.
Three more of Yay at home running diagnostics, utterly baffled :)
They (oops, typed she at first) literally JUST got in the door 🤣 Expected nothing less!
*they
Good
Nice one Marten
Did they have a Plan B?
Hopefully it doesn't involve getting rid of witnesses.
Yet another connection is made in the Marten-verse, making his life bigger yet more closely knit.
The Marten Reed Connected Universe has been in development for decades, it just doesn't have the budget that Disney brought to the table!
Lmaooo poor Yay
Well, that was, what, 4 seconds before their cover was blown? And its good to see that Aurelia and Claire are Marvel fans.
Yay goes by they/them
Mostly harmless.
Barely harmful.
Come on, Yay. You knew they were friends with Aurelia. You knew this was coming.
Maybe they didn't! Even Jeph has a hard time remembering who is whom, and how they know everyone else! Plus, it's a small town. Yay really should have settled somewhere like NYC instead of North Hampton...
Ok, ok...Jeph. Buddy. Pal. Amigo. Did you have to make Yay that freaking UNF?!?

***FUCK***
Language! (English)
"We are not harmless, we merely mean you no harm" is exactly what a trustworthy stranger would say.
You can always trust people who are honest about how much harm they could cause.
