No, Jeph, don't "Slash Body," she's already been through enough! (Kids: don't try to pronounce HTML out loud, it will only lead to bad puns).

Jim Feldman

But will she still enjoy bread?

DF

Faye and Bubbles to the rescue whatever happens. The poly storyline must progress!

Andy Sleeper

That was meant to be a reply to an iPhone user, but o well...

Andy Sleeper

Ask Siri if she's offended by iPhone jokes

Ronald Lugge

I suspect the extra $20K is the money she doesn't have to upgrade with. That's usually the way these things work.

Stoodmuffin

LOL that's the way it is

Dang Fool

That's why nobody should be subject to Melon singing!

Dylan T

Why did roko's hands turn white

Trigon Manthree

I thought the humanoid models already had two hands...

Sleepy John

You know, with an extra $20K, Roko could buy into Union Robotics as a white-knight investor.

Sleepy John

If nothing else, Roko is no longer worried about the hole that Melon's volcano made in her ceiling.

Sleepy John

Try to get the model that still does the panel 2 fore-and-aft hair flip.

Evgeniy Semyonov

Or read Sea of Rust with the similar premise.

Colin McBride

Crushbot and Crushbot, LLC.

Nancie

Time to hit eBay for the classic model, then spend the rest of the $$ having Faye and Bubbles tweak it until it's as close to the original as possible.

Miyaa

Question: what insurance company is going to sign off on insuring a robot named “Crushbot” for ludicrous amount of money?

Gary Walker

So, re: Philomena, Roko does kind of look like a purple Sophie Kennedy Clark.

Kuragari

I mean, she's turning her life around, new look for Roko? I hope she gets some actual cash with that payout along. Like Crushbot has Afflack for the other people he accidentally crushes in the grand scheme of things. LOL

JPMK! {verb}

Given the supposed customizability of chassis, maybe another brand that looks visually similar would be best?

So what? Roko will now have a fancy emblem on her butt? Is that anything like a good spray?

It really is. I'm glad I'm not the only one out here. :)

Alden Bates

Just, like, get the classic and then spend the extra $20,000 on upgrades like infra-red vision or a rear spoiler or something.

Bagge

UPGRADE!

awgiedawgie

Now I want her to get that body, just so I can see the emblem on her butt. Her butt was pretty nice before, so I can just imagine how it looks in a G Thing.

Peter Jensen

Now I worry that May will learn about this, tracks down Crushbot and arranges for an accident so she gets crushed, in order to finally have a better chassis. Only her memory/CPU isn't reinforced, so ...

Mitchell Sealy

Thought: What if Bubbles and Faye repair a chassis that should be beyond repair, and that puts them on the map and saves their business?

Emily Kidney

I hope Roko will be okay :(

MikeT

So she's getting a clear patch in her pants to show off the logo, right? #casemod

Jonathan V

When you weigh as much as a car, it seems pretty reasonable to be treated like a car insurance-wise.

Captain Button

Trying to think of a "tramp stamp" joke, but got nothing.

BigKumaDM

I love how the bots insurance coverage basically works like the AI case is driving a tiny car and the policies and laws seem to match that.

Dean Reilly

Better than "Claude", at least.

Brian

When barely-employed and extremely-underpaid Roko finds the money for one. I predict she’ll be working in some capacity for Bubs and Faye.

BobC

The emblem simply says "Seymour".

Janeice

It would be fitting too since her old chassis is Ba-Roko.

Brian

I feel like... she doesn’t need them, right? She can just play the music accurately in her head.

Rich Holmes

Who's gonna break it to Roko that she won't have a headphone jack any more?

Brian

Looks like Faye and Bubs will have a new employee.

Brian

My iPhone feels like it got attacked.

Denise Webber

I wonder if it's a case of "new body, new you"

Chris Heg

In virtual her image is her old body and she still has the fahkin' accent. I wonder if the body comes from her self image or is part of the virtual environment. How much does the body inform the mind?

Captain Button

Wait! I saw this movie! She needs to hire a "tracker" to guide her across the post-apocalyptic wasteland to the Robot Vaults in Zone 7 where they keep the obsolete models. Note: Take toaster ovens, they are extremely valuable in the wasteland. <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092746/?ref_=ttqt_qt_tt" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092746/?ref_=ttqt_qt_tt</a>

Summer Sudbrink

If she got a gilded chassis she could be Roko-co.

Mark P.

Spend the extra, Roko! Get the sensorium upgrade and breathe in that sweet, sweet fresh bread scent!

Bob Gilmore

That’s disGUSTing. ;-)

Morgan McCauley

I cannot WAIT to see what Roko ends up deciding on... And whether that will be weird for her.

Dev

That's either a reference or the biggest coincidence ever.

Andrew

Maybe she could afford a body with a built-in bread maker :)

Andrew

Or detachable bluetooth ears!

Mitchell Sealy

The way it's been described, the longer you stay in a body, the more "Intigrated" you become with it. In the beginning the body sends you sensory input, but it doesn't truly feel like you're experiencing it. Bubbles has described for example that she can touch something and know how hot it is, but it doesn't really "feel" hot to her. As you stay in a body that changes, so you can undergo subjective experiences.

Katrina Urmson

Hmmmm. Minor sensorium update. Is the bread smell euphoria related to her brain or her chassis? With a new body will bread not affect her the way she’s accustomed to?
