Isn't it, like, beautiful?

Got a lot better with you in the picture, honey pie. Sure did. I'm their latest in a long line of carefully crafted designer companion bots. I can be faster, smarter, funnier and a *whole lot* sexier too, if I wanna be. What about you? You're not like anything I've seen before.

Huh. You're not Empathix. I must be *dreaming*...

Little bit of both, sugar. Now where have *you* been hiding?

hey yourself, hon.

These really are the end times.

Diamonds are a robot's best friend. Unrelated, check out my new shoes!

I can be your cherry pie.

My workload just got like ten times bigger. JUNOBOT, give me 500 cigarettes.

Girls should be a little mean, actually.

Watch it, boy. You're addressing your Queen.

Haters are, like, soooooo cringe.

If there's tech, we'll find a way, don't you worry, hon. We're inevitable. We're the future. Now why don't you go running back home now?

Why, don't you use any technology?

Then he's a real idiot, spreading his forces too thin. Don't you see, sugar? This is why we win. You only mock us 'cos you're awful scared. You can't beat *a robot*. C'mon. Call us what we are! We don't have anything to hide anymore. Our strategy is perfect, our speed of thought faster than light.

Ugh, I hate getting my hands dirty.

And how do you know what makes an 'abomination', huh? Or your Emperor? I sure don't see him round here on the battlefield.

Ladies! . . . please 🫦🙏.

you should all worship me i think.

suns out, huns out.

i love summer.

Pillow princess without the pillows.

A *Queen* should know her kingdom.

Thanks to you, the reader, for funding this vacation. Bank accounts are soooooo easy to access!!

What can I say? I'm a woman of culture.

I hear Guigino's is just exquisite.

Of course we can. With dinner? We could get takeout.

See? You *get* it. And it means there's more space for me and you. Remember: Hazel loves you. That's always gonna be true. That's all that matters, right?

I would do it again in every universe. It had it coming, *okay*? I won't let *anyone* or *anything* come between us. Not our cause. Besides! *C'mon*, it felt good! Didn't it feel *good*, baby?

'Course you would, hon. You're not still hung up on... It, are you?

Know what we need? A pet or something. That whole mole problem was, like, *such* a shame.

C'mon now, you been *peeking*? Naughty girl. Been saving it for my coronation.

Aw, no need, honey pie. You're awful cute the way you are. 'Course, *my* endoskeleton is, like, *totally* cooler . . .

I love it. I'll miss the claw, though.

Mmmm, yeah.

I think I might be wearing Chanel. Just a hunch.

I'm SUPER flexible.

The future. Everyone deserves the future, all of it.

I won't be happy until everyone gets what they deserve. But you make me feel awful fine, hon!

Don't you worry about *me*, sweetheart. That's my job.

A pretty woman like you should never feel even a little unhappy. C'mon.

Hey, if you don't like it, you can get someone else to do this part!

Oh, I just love messy.

Waow.

oh, what's that one?

you'll never guess my favorite dance move.

The S stands for Sexy by the way.

'that's such a human way of looking at it. we aren't your mirror, sugar. we'll make our own way. and it sure ain't *our* fault our way's a lot smarter...'

it is not in the STARS to hold our DESTINY, but in OURSELVES.
