That's why the ship needs flesh, to not be a robot any more.

Apropos to the conversation, I'm getting an ad for "Hal: An artificial love story".

Needs more Krabby.

A thought occurs, up until now Kat has mostly kept her engineering knowledge amongst her close friends, but now it's right out in the open.

You can only keep being robot Jesus under wraps for so long in a place filled with robots

"Coffee! Coffeecoffeecoffee! Coffee! Not as strong as Meth-amphetamine, but it lets you keep your teeth!"

What do you mean? I am pretty sure she is rather openly a robotic/engineering genius. She built a gravity field generator back in Chapter 5 and put it on a exposition. Not only that, she thought that fact was so mundane it was not even the focus of her experiment. Kat is a genius and everyones knows that.

Now, I believe she had kept her current research to herself and to her friends, and that robot blew that up. But I am not sure it is because she consider it a 'secret' per se or if just because it is not something you just go out telling everyone about (how many people would even be interested?). Basically, I am not sure if Kat even consider a problem the ship "exposed" her like that.

Goddamnit, Ship, she's taken! Learn to let go, you clingy twit!

I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.

Bud vs Ship. Death match a-go-go.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

Can they at least have the match when the kids aren't relying on the ship to keep them from drowning?

But then where would the suspense be?

At some point our Dirty Pair is going to chase down and burn out of office the person who schedules events for the kids.

"Show us the Galaxy Warp."

Because Bud, more sympathetic by virtue of not trying to homewreck, is fucking tiny compared to Ship. It'd be a classic underdog fight.

Oh crap. Whoever said this was going to get ugly? I think we're just about to break the Ugly Barrier.

This seems like an entirely reasonable course of action.

Just as a general rule, you don't want to be dragging a Reality Warper into something they don't want to be involved in. Depending on the nature of their powers, poking Happy Fun God is probably cruel, stupid, or both.

Does anyone but Annie know the extent of her powers? Give it a couple of seconds and every last S-class bot is gone, and as for the rest, I'm pretty sure an angry Annie is not something you want to try to grab hold of.

This will end well.

Has any good ever come from saying "the desired result can be achieved by altering reality"?

I didn't write any of that.

Depends on whether granting wishes is altering reality, as it tends to work out okay in Dragonball.

Magic in general, also could fall under that banner...

I have a message from another time...

Depends on how you feel about LSD...

Creed of the Happy Pessimist:Always expect the worst. Then, when it happens, it was only what you expected. All else is a happy surprise.

"We'll force the most stubborn, out-of-the-box-thinking, belligerent and dangerous person we can find to do what we want. What Could Possibly Go Wrong?"

Guess why I put "dangerous" in the description?

I don't think Zimmy really has enough control over her powers to intentionally influence how well this turns out, actually. Especially not if she's being separated from Gamma.

If only there was a boy at their school with the power to help people control their powers.

"Show us the Galaxy Warp."

Smitty imposes order. Zimmy's problem isn't orderliness, it's having too much power for any one person to control.

Zimmy's powers are waaaaay different from Parley's.
