I pace while talking on the phone; I only fiddle with my hands in person.

I don’t know what’s wrong with you, fiddling remotely; it seems rude not to let the person you’re talking to see what you create out of nearby objects.

Yeah colonel says they’re not trying to make weapons but you have the potential to make Megaman a reality here! You’d be doing the world a disservice by not!

I’ve never done the rolling scrap paper thing myself, but I know a few other people who do.

I usually lurk, but since I’ve come out of hiding I’d like to say this comic is amazing and I can’t wait to see what happens next.

In reply to Urban Space Cowboy. This isn't The Future though, this is a flashback to 2003. This is The Past and certainly in 2003 DARPA and the like had the deepest pockets.

All of a sudden, the ad makes sense. Remember? STERLING: see who’s inside!
I bet it’s Grandma. I also bet she’s not emulated as well as Al or Sulla. And I bet Al can fix that, now that he’s back.

Rosie, remember they are closeted. ‘You get to work with a beautiful young lady’ is what they call a ‘perk.’ It’s a tip that the guy on the phone REALLY wants this to happen.
The military’s involvement makes me think of Joe Haldeman’s ‘soldierboys,’ big remote robot drones run by direct brain connection. Maybe they are thinking ‘just download the soldier INTO the soldierboy?’
The character development is very well-done; Al is a bundle of repressed twitchiness and energy, always fiddling. As someone said, the multitool is a great symbol. The guy on the phone has no idea that he is stressing.
Blue, I don’t tear paper and roll it, I doodle little people with grotesque faces all over and give them word balloons saying “oh no” and “wtf” and “eep.” So far my head hasn’t exploded so it must relieve the pressure.
