Welp, time to hit up the second hand electronic shops.

MiaKitty

Ah, a case of "iRobot"

Benzy

Drawing it out, Jeph... When do we get to see this Philomena Model G?!?!

Miyaa

I feel like my iPhone got attacked.

Emma Humphries

You were listening to the Decemberists when you scripted this, weren't you?

Anton

I am so into this story line, this is FASCINATING!

Dean Reilly

If they only replaced Roko's model last year, there are bound to be a few retailers who still have it in stock, possibly at a discount.

Kyle Major

20,000 for an emblem doesnt sound worth it. Montage new look time

Chris Driggers

I love a good robot body shopping arc :)

drone r0m-3

Maybe it's time to switch to Android.

Pete Hanson

If it was truly an iPhone joke, the Model G would have no mouth -- they can only communicate when connected by Bluetooth.

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?

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.

Andrew

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

Dev

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

Morgan McCauley

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

Mark P.

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

Summer Sudbrink

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

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?

Denise Webber

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

Brian

Looks like Faye and Bubs will have a new employee.

Rich Holmes

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

Brian

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

BobC

The emblem simply says "Seymour".

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.

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.

Captain Button

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

Jonathan V

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

MikeT

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

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?

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 ...

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.

Bagge

UPGRADE!

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.

Anonymous

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

JPMK! {verb}

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

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

Gary Walker

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

Miyaa

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

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.

Sleepy John

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

Sleepy John

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

Sleepy John

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

Dylan T

Why did roko's hands turn white

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.

Andy Sleeper

Ask Siri if she's offended by iPhone jokes

DF

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

Jim Feldman

But will she still enjoy bread?

Geo (Overand)

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).
