2023-07-09 19:12:29 +0000 UTCAyyy! Zlata doing a technicality! Good on them!
Daniel Rydberg
2023-07-09 19:06:09 +0000 UTCWe haven't seen Zlata's lower torso yet, so I choose to believe she moves around on robot tendrils like Doc Ock and everyone's just nonplussed and no-selling it. Or maybe she's on a hoverboard.

2023-07-09 13:07:56 +0000 UTCSo Jeph: now that you’ve introduced us to Zlata over several days, we are going to all be heartbroken if she doesn’t get the job! (eyes go into your-kid-wants-this-specific-puppy mode)

2023-07-09 12:07:09 +0000 UTCSo Marten

2023-07-09 11:30:24 +0000 UTCExcept Zlata, she apparently sees him more like Daddy/senpai

2023-07-09 11:26:57 +0000 UTCWhen Marten is the dad figure, the rest of the complex must be Muppet Babies

2023-07-09 05:54:09 +0000 UTCSure, but have you ever jests what comes from the mouths of babes? What they are looking for at CubeTown is whacky ideas.

2023-07-09 05:19:18 +0000 UTCI suspect it’s a lot like how there is a friendly rivalry between Oxford and Cambridge in rowing and University Challenge. Maybe also comedy.

2023-07-09 05:06:15 +0000 UTCI cannot read about Cubetown without mentally starting to lay out a Department of Grown-ups at this point.

2023-07-09 03:36:23 +0000 UTCAs much as I'd like that I don't think it'd happen. she doesn't have the right personality for them. She's much closer to being their "new pintsize"
Rémi Beaulieu-Dubé
2023-07-09 03:29:18 +0000 UTCI'd be curious to know that too! My impression is that the Station collected around Dr Ellicott, while Cubetown is funded and staffed by these mysterious benevolent AIs. I'm sure there's plenty of science to be done, and neither place is hurting for money.

2023-07-09 03:20:45 +0000 UTCRight???
Julie Mason
2023-07-09 03:14:45 +0000 UTCSo, I'm on yet another reread (YARR?) of the entire run, and the medical doctor on Dr Elicott-Johnson's station says "this station is the greatest collection of brilliant minds in human history ." Cubetown is also a science collective. I wonder what the odds are of an overlap or even better, a rivalry? Does Station know the director? Are they colleagues? Brothers in spirit? Nemeses?

2023-07-09 02:40:36 +0000 UTCis it just a matter of time until marten and claire are in a triad with moray?
runrin
2023-07-09 01:52:33 +0000 UTCI get the impression that the printer secretly runs Cubetown, and the Director exists merely as a figurehead to draw attention away from this fact.

2023-07-09 01:29:17 +0000 UTCIt's not even a loophole, she's just right

2023-07-09 00:42:39 +0000 UTCThat kind of loophole is going to get you those points back, Zlata

2023-07-08 23:47:47 +0000 UTCHere I thought this was a separate Underling List
enchantedsleeper
2023-07-08 23:35:21 +0000 UTCZlata is entirely correct, but also just the fact that Moray thinks an unofficial party list should apply to work related job transfer stuff also speaks to how much Cubetown needs a Claire

2023-07-08 23:16:19 +0000 UTCHa, Zlata will make a great assistant
PostRetroism
2023-07-08 23:00:12 +0000 UTCZlata posts "First!" on some Cubetown message board.
