I'm done with this. Legally human my ass. She's still a robot despite a legal definition. This reeks of political bias. I'm out.

She is legally human, and refuses to identify as a robot, despite the fact that identifying as
a robot would gain her additional social, and legal rights.

No doubt. This particular topic is simply disagreeable to me. Please don't let my opinion sway you. Do what works for you and makes your fans happy. Ya dig?

Fair nuff, wasn't exactly sure what you found disagreeable, and simply wanted to clarify.

Also just to further clarify, She is a cyborg, not a full robot claiming to be human.

See now that makes a whoooole lot more sense. I just find the logical leap from sentience to being declared human to be far too much of a stretch. I should pay more attention in the future.

No no, I haven't established it in the story yet so you made a fair assumption, and I don't fault you for it.
That's why I wanted to clarify.

Additional rights? So robots have more rights than humans in this world..?

Technically yes.

Fascinating. I hope to possibly learn more of this world then.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not. Political bias towards what?

I'm not explaining shit. I'm already suffering mental illness and don't need people screaming at me about how horrible I am. It was a comment meant for Slushy and Slushy alone.

this is really interesting! also I really like the last few panels hehe

The prosecution has fuked up... she's not sure how yet, but she has a pretty good suspicion.

*Robotnic music stops*

Oh nu! oAo

YAY IT WORKED!
*record scratch*
Oh no, it worked....

Yay were doomed~! \oDo/

*Cue Johnny Five's "uh ohhhh!" from when he realizes he's got a tracker on him. (Short Circuit reference)*

That was exactly what I said out loud when I saw those eyes. O.O

Love the Short Circuit movies~! ^u^
The fist one was always my favorit.

YAAAAAS.

Sorry, but I try to act like the sequel doesn't exist. ^^;

Lol! XD;

BWAAAHHAHAHAHAHA OHHH GOD THAT FACE

poor lil lawyer girl is gona get her bottom smacked XD hehehe and i love the back and forth of legal argument. Currently the cyborg lawyer is what they say in the legal profession.....running circles around her. XD

She gonna be dizzy at the end! x3;

if Glares could kill. :O

Well if you're a robot, such a thing might be possible if you had laser-eyes...

Bah, I tried that and just got ripped off, can't even make my eyes glow red much less shoot beams out of them.... stupid laser-eye surgery.

Well, this took an interesting turn. I know we are supposed to be siding with the robot and lawyer in the last panel, but the cyborg makes a good point.

At first, I saw someone mention about how they seemed to be bringing up that the robot had been given upgrades/changes that give him senses. Hearing, sight, and touch. I thought smell and taste were going to be mentioned next, and that the reveal would be that those models of robots do have the capability to become self-aware, but that development is stinted because of the lack of being able to actually sense and experience anything, like the equivalent of a brain in a jar with no eyes, ears, etc.

But now that it was revealed that one of the changes they made to the robot was to add an actual brain to it, I have to admit, she has a good point that it was the upgrades that made him self-aware, not just that they can on their own.

Things get more complicated the more you get into the details. ;3

Did... they actually tell the plaintiff's lawyer anything before sending them to the robotic wolves? They seem to be scrambling here, and that is not a good thing when you're in court. They'd better come up with some killer arguments and quick, because so far the defense seems to be trouncing them pretty badly.

A laser-proof suit might not go amiss either...

The plaintiff doesn't have as much robotic knowledge as she would like for this case.
And yes, it's becoming apparent to her that the people that hired her, failed to mention some critical details.

>And yes, it's becoming apparent to her that the people that hired her, failed to mention some critical details.

Not telling your lawyer all the details, that's a great way to shoot your foot(or your lawyer's foot as it may be) at the outset...

I thought she had it bad before, but sounds like both sides are working to trip her up, one intentionally and one (hopefully) on accident.

Time to break out all the stops lawyer lady, you've got quite the uphill battle ahead of you.

uh oh she doesn't look too happy hehehe

im surprised there are no Kink-E robotics there unless u is hiding something slushy?. ewe

I'm thinking they might exist in this universe, so they might start showing up at some point~! ;3

oh goodie >:3

I want to punch Robobitch.

You seem to be quite violent, I can see why you are siding with the one that can't argue her way out of a paperbag.

Careful you might hurt your hand.

Idk why but I can totally see the cyborg girl's pov showing a terminator-esque interface, then zooming onto the other lawyer's face, scanning it, and showing text which is usually meant to provide information about stuff, but instead it just goes..

*Boop* "Little b*tch-*ss, f*ckin'-knows-nothing-motherf*cker"

*Boop* "Commence Operation: School this Fool!"

If she is a cyborg, does that mean she was originally human? I see the point of a cyborg being human.

Personally there aren't many works that do this topic justice. I dislike how poorly the argument was made in startrek, even Bicentennial Man gave a better argument. I can't think of any other scifi that tackles this subject, atleast that isn't using a single robot that you grow close to over the story and arguing with how likable they were.

Yes she was originally full human.

I'm glad you like it so far~! ^u^

she's going maverick! EVERYONE, HIT THE DECK!

Where's mega man when you need him?
