Her boss is way too low energy for that.

Nicholas A Wagner

Knowing May's luck she will get fired for failure to up sale during the rest of her shift.

Marc Kevin Hall

As someone going in for throat surgery this week with a non-zero chance of this happening... can confirm fear.

Chris Crowther

Voice boxes with synthesised mouth movement, I assume.

Julienne Ignace

By Sven

Julienne Ignace

Aqua?

Nathaniel Tagg

Wait wait wait - do robot's lips move to make sound? Or do they have smiles as words come out of their mouths? Is this like a speaker, or like vocal cords?

Sleepy John

Union Robotics can fix her, but the chassis is obsolete. They can swap in a voice box from a similar model, but it lisps.

Sleepy John

There’s always interpretive dance.

Thisguy

Grandfather’s axe. Only replaced the head once and the handle twice.

Cody Renton

So the current plan for getting May a new body is slowly having Faye and Bubbles replace all the parts of her old one, like that old thing with the broom?

Bagge

I totally blame Sven

Tudza

Robot frog?

Bagge

ah, the universe found an indignity it had yet not heaped on May

Erin Halfelven at BigCloset

LOL! The horror, the horror!

Zach Elwyn

She can communicate via PDFs going forward

Charles Fitt

This is actually legit somewhat disturbing. This would be a hideous thing to have happen to you.

Alex Borders

Perhaps we should try . . . the paperclip!

Thomas Halpin

I was hoping she'd curse so hard she melted somebody's earwax, not so hard she melted her voicebox. I demand to speak to a supervisor.

Carl Fink

In my head, some person with common sense (Nelson?) will suggest just using a Bluetooth speaker. So May's voice emanates from this speaker off to the side ... and May realizes it's actually BT mic as well, and uses it to spy on people.

I don't know which I like better. May's ANGRY face, or the shape of her breaking-down dialogue box!

Brooks Moses

I mean, that's not even a lot of swearing, for May. And far less creative than her usual, which I take as further indication she's a bit overwhelmed by the situation.

Matt Grayson

Odd undress exception

Literally

kaitou

Maybe munched on too many chips and is experiencing a Snack Overflow?

Nobilis Reed (personal)

I was going to say a watermelon seed. --N

BobC

And if May learns Sign Language, she'll curse her fingers off...

Astrid

heckin nothin goin right for may. hope she can get stuff sorted.

Todd Ellner

Some are born great. Some achieve greatness. And some have greatness fucking thrust onto them.

Matt

you could have not typed that...

Tamara Macadam

around the world around the wooorld

Kilonum

Poor frog :(

Chloë Salzenberg

Is this a reference to Schlock Mercenary, or are they both referencing something else?

Simon Green

Take your upvote and get out, dad.

Chris Heg

We need a Go Fund May

R L

Can we just get Hannelore to hire May as a bodyguard plx

Andrew Wade

probably a furball made of Sven's pubes

Rob Vary

Complete and total ones!

Joel Bateman

It wasn't a frog that was in her throat. It was a Sven.

Elf Sternberg

Tai walks in, whips out her phone and records her, mixes it into her piece at the next rave in the library, a producer picks it up, gives Tai a big fat check which Tai then applies to pay for May's upgrade. May, er, "reallocates" some of the funds to upgrading her [bleep], so one of her legs keeps popping off but damn is Sven impressed...

Nulgar

I'm gonna be honest, I totally expect this to be damage from filling her mouth with lube and/or letting Sven go to town (see #3304)

Devin Gates

She's got a fuck caught in her throat, more likely

Simon Green

Those politicians are obviously smeeeeeeee heeeeeees. They're smeeeeeee heeeeeees.

Matt

Swear TOO much?

Tachpmg

They are probably on speed dial at this point

James Cooper

My guess is the speaker is blowing

Samantha Yeaman

Your comment made me imagine her broken beeps transitioning into Robot Rock and every AI suddenly engaging in a synchronized dance-off and that's a genuinely great mental image.

Michael Boettger

Or she's just getting the electro- mechanical equivalent of getting choked up?

Joseph Bonnar

Somebody call Faye and Bubbles. STAT!

Captain Button

The morality filter for ex-cons kicking in.

Kate!

Missed opportunity to say "a frag in her throat" sorry I'll see myself out

Joseph Houk

It overclocked her vocal coding protocols.

Michael Boettger

I understand that things like joints can seize up, but a voice box (or speaker) shouldn't have this problem. Is May having a system breakdown? I hope not.
