…because you all missed it SO much. Hey, come on, we just got over half a month with no dialog at ALL. All that built up information has to get released SOME time. Besides, we’ve got a sizable gathering of complete and total techno-dorks here, how ELSE would they talk to each other in a situation like this? Or, better yet, how else would Layla get a chance to voice this VERY valid concern? I mean, that’s not how I’D want to go (I expect MY passing to involve several large robots, an asteroid, and an army of singing space slugs)

And don’t bother trying to make some literal sense out of all those machine names. I just went the classic Star Trek route and threw big, cool sounding words together.

(Historical Note: I haven’t looked ahead to check, so I could be wrong, but I feel like this is the only time we ever see Kiki in a page on her own, rather than following Madam Ventricle around like a puppy)
