As Trina and Tirin travel to Reny's last known location (a fix-it-shop located on a distant planet in another galactic system), Trina is telling Tirin her story about seeking to recover lost memories about a long-lost friend/fellow iMate named Genesis. Billy, Trina's boyfriend, has hired Dabney to help recover these missing memories. Dabney is the emotional mind reader, doppleganger first introduced in Chapter 13 who now works for Queen Shayli Vay of Saronia.
Billy was first introduced way back in Chapter 11 during Tirin's childhood. He was Tirin's boyfriend for a while. Billy purchased iMate Trina in Chapter 20 for companionship after Tirin broke up with him. Billy relates how he now works for Queen Shayli Vay as Saronia's Chief Scientific Advisor as well as why he and Tirin broke up.
An iMate is a super advanced android originally designed as pleasure bots, but their inventor wanted them to be so much more...
Dabney unlocked Trina's memories and Trina has replayed them out loud, much to Dabney's delight. Dabney takes on the form of Genesis so Trina can take a picture. She went to the iMate store but they denied ever having a unit like Genesis. As you may recall, Genesis knew how to "activate" imates to become independent (Chapter 25, page 19). Tirin thinks the imate store wiped Genesis's memory also to prevent her from activating or teaching others how to activate imates. Now Trina is relating to Tirin that she decided to hire a detective to find Genesis. Billy has revealed that he is training to be an "eros healer" for the Queen of Saronia. Trina a bit jealous, wondered if Billy's magical trainer, Abby, turned him on. He countered with the fact that Trina is BETTER than magic. Now we return to Tirin and Trina as they are approaching their destination...

I love how Tirin assumes by default that hired help is going to be of… ‘limited competence’, let’s say. Can’t really blame her, with past experience, I suppose.
Merceneiress
indeed, especially with the past experience of Tirin prime in her memory bank!

Ah, yes–Trina still hasn’t learned the differences among fucking, having sex, and making love. And Billy is in no position to teach her.

That’s because Trina was his first

First what? He bought Trina as a plussed up f** doll to substitute for Tirin, even if his crush on Tirin was plussed up artificially. What has he done for her since that came from him, and not from his wallet?
Add to that that he’s a dyed in the wool wuss, perfectly happy to let Trina handle all the fighting and absorb all the associated risks and damage while he looks for a hole in the wall to crawl through.

She was his first sexual partner

AI LilTir actually looks real close to the original
Papa Sam on the other flipper… (unless that’s not Tir’s daddy)
Merceneiress
haha, yeah that’s supposed to be Samson! Just messing around. I figure AI is going to take over everything, so why not see what happens if it tries to take over my comic and keep it going long past my lifetime 😂

AIs are fun , but they’re not as good as your originals.

Where have seen that other race in the last panel before, can’t remember where (and for some reason, picturing a teeny bowler hat on their head… or maybe it’s a regular sized hat that just looks teeny)

I’m pretty sure I used that character before too, somewhere as a pilot or other “npc” but my memory fails me
