Junked (Part 3)

However for families while they live in a fairly rich neighborhood, are compared to that of the working class compared to the rich family living on a hill (Madeline’s parents are both working despite having high positions respectively). They might hit an unexpected financial hit if their nandroids suddenly stop functioning 100% & the birthday incident with Emmy made parents super vigilant on what they fear to be ticking bombs unless they shell cash to properly maintain their nandroids.

Dr. Rodin

I’m betting certain nandroids working in a specific environment like the one for the snooty ultra rich family in the neighborhood is prolly going to crack someday for working under immense pressures such as routinely cleaning the ENTIRETY of a mansion that’s 1/3 of a CASTLE. Or prolly not, the family is SUPER LOADED to put proper maintenance on her EVERY day to be 100% 24/7

Dr. Rodin

They literally blue-screen as their way of fainting & that’s hilarious & sad 🤣😭

Dr. Rodin

I wonder what happened to her? Did she go into some sort of safe mode due to stress? Or was she remotely shut down?

Can nandroids cry? Can robots cry for that matter? I would be if I were her!

*Faints in android*

Randall Balion

Literally disarmed. Nice.

Now I'm curious what kind of malfunctions the other Nannies might have/be having.

Darryl Reyes

Imho the problems are not exactly related. What broke Emmy is an existential matter because she faces the impossibility of what she considers to be the meaning of her own existence: to serve faithfully her beloved family. On the other hand Franny is indeed stressed but still into the field of possibility of her core meaning.

Not even a blown fuse from the twins’ antics?

Genie

She isn’t experiencing the same malfunctions as Emmy so she wouldn’t.

Dominic Cellini

I’ll imagine a lot of micro gyros are in them to keep balance

Genie

Poor sweet Emmy. She's not outmoded. She's just a lost, disarmed, and confused nandroid far from home.

Danny N.

Probably to a lesser extent

Genie

Wonder if Franny shuts down when she gets stressed with the twins?

Anthony LoGatto

So that’s what happens when a robot has an aneurysm.

ShotgunBlast848

Reminds me of Glados as a potato. Can't get too stressed or bzzzzt

Oh geeze, this girl has seen plenty enough bots that prolly went thru breakdowns like this after they wake up accidentally from their shutdown state when they were immobilized to be thrown out. And maybe some never were able to wake up fast enough before those lil junker bots tear them apart for scraps 😱 Now THIS is the angst that we’ve been horrifically waiting for ever since we saw that concept art of Emmy with the broken arm 😭

Dr. Rodin

Lol it’s a lil funny that her feet still looks ballet-pointe compared to the other girl’s shoes flat on the ground knowing that the ground is also prolly compacted with other junk. I wonder how Sterling even designed this feet balancing design, it makes the nandroids look cute & perky. BUT HOW DO THEY BALANCE???

Dr. Rodin

Cue “And I will go sailing no more “

Genie

Oof, Emmy’s 2nd ever mental breakdown since the birthday party 😬

Dr. Rodin

Poor Emmy! I shut down when stressed too 😆
