You can’t find a substitute for someone like him in a rush.

Kind of hilarious writing how Vivi's magical powers are just not addressed at all.
The premise of an FBI Satan ordering you to swear So Help Me God on a Virtual Bible is amusing.
Apparently Vivi's... Japanese girlfriend? AI girlfriend? is named Nene, which is the main girl in Pandora in the Crimson Shell. I'm not sure if the AI she was talking to at the beginning of chapter 1 is this Nene, or if this Nene is really an AI at all.
Ten bucks Vivi is already one of Motoko's cybersexfriends.

Nazar:
“Huh… maybe with such a small camera, in court you could say ‘I didn’t know police were there~’ and there’d be no punishment.”

Vivian:
“…is it like that…
even though we ended up nearly being killed.”

Nazar:
“Well, it’ll probably be fine.
Hey, don’t make that face.
While you’re alive, be cheery!
You’re not only a doctor,
you’re an FBI agent.
In otherwords, you’re just a hunting dog.
Focus on hunting.
An unexpected trouble just got in.
Anyway, let’s go meet Eddie Carson and have a little chat!”

Janice:
“I am the person in charge of Amber Serenity House.
My name is Janice Amber.”

Worker 1:
“Are you okay?”

Worker 2:
“Did it stop?”

Worker 3:
“It’s dangerous here. Go over there…”

Worker 4:
“Ugh… it hurtss…”

Janice:
“It looks like you only sprained it a little. There’s no need to worry.”

Nazar:
“Excuse me!
Are you in charge around here?
I’m Agent Nazar, FBI.
Behind me is Agent Valles.”

Finis.

Merry Spookmonth to all, and to all a good night!

>>291335598
repeating herself huh...

Anyway two things
1- this is the Cradle thing from Pandora so we probably got a bunch of old people on life support doing some shady shit
2- Janice's earring I'm pretty sure is a kabbalistic thing, it's the path you're supposed to take through the tree of life to reunite with God

So I'm guessing there's some old people meditating in those Cradle things doing some shit to the Net

Nice

>>291335693
I think the idea is that there are at least two Janices in different locations, viz. Janice is a standard model robot.
You're likely right about what the old men are doing. Old folks' homes are always of malicious intent.

>>291338172
I bet they've got some kinda rig like the Yamato spaceships in Orion with a bunch of brains connected together to bend spacetime

>>291334788
>Between the Solid State Society and the Human Algorithm and now this, they should just airstrike all old folks' homes preemptively.
Bring back abandoning the elderly on mountains.

Thanks OP!

If Vivi-chan works for Dr. Willis she and 2501 are basically sisters already. So she's Motoko's sister-in-law.

>>291341256
now now, Vivian's a doctor she's just a coworker.

She can still be a bridesmaid I guess, it's either that or Kurutan.

>>291331328
Also, if she's working for Dr. Willis, and 2501 is the culprit, it seems more likely that she really is recognising the lab's own viruses here.

>>291331276
Fuck yeah, thanks bro.

>>291331328
>(is she stupid?)
Seems that way.

I really really hope P2501 will do the ojou laugh with her long sleeves

If they at least do that, and don't fuck anything up, then I'll be happy

Bonus points if her cunning plan blows up in her face Seska-style

>>291343146
Kind of confused with how this 2501 has a body, and yet 2501 claimed to have never had a body before.
Is she just a liar? Is this 2501 really just a hijacked body like the Puppet Master who met with Malles?

>>291343328
nah pretty sure the implication is just that there never was a human body

besides there's been quite a few retcons by now already

Do you ship Vivian with Nazar or 2501?

>>291331296
Hey man, no one does well on an empty stomach.

>>291331350
Does Shirow still think an AI hacker is worse than a human one?

>>291331375
HOT

>>291331428
Fat bitch.

>>291346911
The way it reads to me, the FBI hacker decided it was an AI he was against because it was so fast. So no.

I agree.

Also, good subtle storytelling to reveal that he's a homosexual.

>>291331617
She is too good of a girl for a Shirow manga.
She needs to be corrupted.

>>291331677
Not yet a woman, but still cute and evil.
Thanks for the work my man.

Dude is holding a lot of weight.

>>291334042
Given that it's come up twice in three chapters already that the FBI is ill-equipped to deal with mechanical threats, I wonder if there's someone pulling the strings to keep it that way. It reminds me of that minor plot point in End of Evangelion with Nerv being issued only small arms.
>291347376
She looks Scandinavian.
>>291347586
What do you have in mind?
>>291347633
At what point does she become a woman?

>>291348293
>At what point does she become a woman?
When she sees Motoko's fat ass and becomes fixated.

>>291333337
Her reflexive scared smile is very nice.

>>291348425
Vivi's hard ass is insufficient for her... >>291331632

>>291333686
This is pretty fun.

>Shine on the path of righteousness,

The original sounded like some kind of religious quote, but it doesn't seem to appear anywhere else.

Sounds like something from a Metal Gear game.

At the end of Pandora (which takes place before this) we see 2501's ghost already has boobs.

Plus the new anime says she was designed with a female voice from day 1

I hope my wife shows up

>>291331677
How do you know she's a dyke?

>>291352098
it's P-2501, as shown on Shirow's design sheet

>>291352098
She spent 90% of Pandora watching girls finger each other going "whoaaaa I wish I could do that!"

It's the time-tested trope of the perverted nerd who collects ecchi material under the guise of "research"

>>291352098
Because she calls her Vivi-chan with a heart and a look like that. On a motorbike.

>>291351701
She's a very dedicated girl.
