Also, am I the only one who thinks the day will somehow be saved by Paz's ability to talk to animals?

The most surprising twist at this point would be if Paz didn't end up saving everyone.

Dibs on Lindsey being a whale.

Lindsey is a giant crustacean, is there a joke I'm missing? I'm confused.

Whoops, my bad. Forgot that she was named Lindsey and assumed it was a new character.

Lindsey was only following proper Robot Handling as per the Manual. Cruise Ship Lollypop here is acting way out of parameters. If they manage to get Kat to do this "give them flesh" thing, then there's going to be Problems with SOP.

Also - why are the cop-bots acting on behalf of Lovesick Lollypop?

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Kat explained that -- the ship steward-bots are dumb terminals with no programming of their own, they're just extensions of the ship.

And am I the only one whose immediate reaction to today's ship was to want Annie to toss Jack and his floozy overboard? Don't give them the blinker stone!

No, I think he meant why are the robots with buttons on their heads assisting the Ship.

I think they all want meatbodies. Maybe they want to be people?

Well of course they want to be human (just like I want to be a shoggoth) but I guess this is more of a test to them. An experiment.

They seem to me to be general robot-rights foot soldiers. Anytime a robot wants or needs something, they're there to help.

I agree with the second part of this.  They accepted her as a provisional candidate for "angel" after seeing her work on the arm, but I suspect they still want to actually see her do something worthy of their inflated view of their original creator Diego (interestingly, they also now call her "creator Kat"), especially since as Kat herself just said, it's just an experiment that doesn't actually do anything.  I don't actually think they actually want to be human themselves, though being made more like their progenitors (exceptionally complex as they were) might be part of their vision.  It's more a religion thing for the Seraph-models.

Well, considering that the reader population started liking her a lot more, Tom's probably pretty happy with that panel's result.

That aside, I do think that Jack knowing the circle spelly thing himself would be pretty awesome. Though I suppose that the two could just be sharing knowledge.

I just finished the archive trek for this comic, and, holy shit this comic.

Anyway, anything subverting the impression that she's just a zimmy look-a-like is good, I want to like jack's character.

I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a joke about Jack having a type, or if it's actually going to be important later because weird magic.

Am I the only one that actually wants to see the ship become flesh and turn into a robot whale? Yes? Oh, okay then.

Accidentally made over 5000 copper maces once. I have no idea how that happened.

Jack has a thing for girls who can turn him to smoldering ashes obviously.
