Also this comic is top tier.

That’s nifty! It’d be cool if the combination of Brendan and Al accidentally brought Sulla into being, and then the combination of Brendan and Sulla accidentally led to Al’s rebirth. Once you’re working with entire artificial brains, it wouldn’t take much to unwittingly set off a chain reaction.

And it’s also possible she is totally unaware of how Al came to be, but did create another highly intelligent being (if she’s not the boss of the Ballerina and dog) who knew enough to “help.”

I love seeing her creation here… The fact she’s continually things totally explains why Brandan didn’t just take her apart when he realized she wasn’t Al. I can see this could be how they’d end up interacting and bonding for her to become a child to him—rather than just another machine.

Oooh, really interesting. Sulla’s brilliant and has been essentially taught to worship Al from a distance, plus she has herself to experiment on. Motivation and ability are both there. She’d have to have access to some pretty sophisticated equipment, but then many teenagers surreptitiously borrow their parents’ credit-cards…

Also, this theory would be a nice explanation for how Al got the multi-tool back. Seems Sulla knows about it and is probably attached to it through her Al-like procedural memory. It means no one would have had to break into Brendan’s house to steal the tool.
