Give it up ship, flesh or no flesh Lindsey already has a husband.

And he's the cutest husband in the world: http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=906

This might be the first chapter where overall creepiness shot up after attention shifted away from Zimmy and onto something else.

lindsey is an accredited couples therapist, she can probably talk the ship down, or discourage this behavior by mocking it in front of its piers.

How many robots have fallen in love? Or whatever this boat is thinking. Robot loves Shadow, and Kat and Annie. And then...

Did I say "cookies?" I meant, "Fire in your face!"
Oh man, this is going to end so badly for RoBoat. He'll be all fleshy and be all, "Lindsey, you must love me now!" and Bud will show up and be all, "Sorry pal, but she's taken! And you know the worst part about having flesh? NERVE ENDINGS!" POW, punched right in the prow! SNAP, pinched right on the rudder! "Curse my desire to be soft flesh!" will moan RoBoat as he heads back into the harbor, dejected.

Meanwhile, the kids will obliviously have a dance party, and enjoy fizzy drinks and eachother's company. All except for Kat. She knew the folly of what RoBoat was asking for, but just couldn't talk him out of it. Oh, the pain he'll endure, both physically and emotionally, and she thinks it's all her fault.

And then RoBoat will die from never having learned how to breathe.

He died, and she did nothing.

It's interesting to see that Kat has moved past fried robo wings to bigger body parts, but I doubt she's quite ready for ship sized projects.

Everything is now falling into place. That's some plot foresight Tom.

In a surprise twist, the sea is actually the Annan Waters, and Jeanne will kill save everybody!

Knowing Gunnerkrigg, the next page will be Kat saying "Lindsey is married and you're being super creepy" and the boat will say "oh my gosh I had no idea. Sorry, everyone! On with the dance."

Obviously the boat's brain is some sort of chip Kat can pull out and insert into a new body. A really gross robo-fleshy sea captain's body.

A small crab, if he's going for a male of the species.

They then solve the problem by eating it. This kills the crab.

I would dearly love to see an extra-dimensional crab using his etheric powers to pull a Yoda on an AI controlled cruise liner who wants to seduce his wife.

"What's that lover-boy? The levitation is making you uncomfortable? I thought boats liked floating! Here, how about if I rock you back and forth a little. How d'you like that, Casanova?"
