'''Twiki''' (pronounced twee-kee) is an [[ambuquad]], a specialized robot made for performing manual labors. Built by an ambuquad facility in [[New Chicago]], his name is an anthropomorphism derived from his alphanumeric designation '''TWKE-4'''.  His Serial Number is n22-23-t.
'''Tina''' is an [[ambuquad]], a specialized robot made for performing manual labors. In [[2491]], she is assigned as waiter/servitor staff aboard ''[[Lyran Queen]]''.


In [[2491]], he is assigned to convey Dr. [[Theopolis]] of the [[Computer Council]] in [[New Chicago]], [[Earth]] {{BR25|Awakening}}.
[[Twiki]] encounters her and pursues a relationship with the fellow ambuquad, much to Dr. [[Theopolis]]' chagrin {{BR25|Cruise Ship to the Stars}}.


Due to [[William Rogers|William "Buck" Rogers]]' 20th Century terminologies and references, as well as treating Twiki as a friend rather than servant, Rogers' personality traits and mannerisms imopress themselves upon Twiki.
== Notes ==


For instance, Twiki has been known to ask others, such as Commander [[Royko]] {{BR25|Space Vampire}}, to "Gimme five." Twiki's sense of humor also includes `threats' of `Tweaking' someone—pinching them with his metallic pincer-hands—if they annoy him.

You'd better believe it.

Tina is an ambuquad, a specialized robot made for performing manual labors. In 2491, she is assigned as waiter/servitor staff aboard Lyran Queen.

Twiki encounters her and pursues a relationship with the fellow ambuquad, much to Dr. Theopolis' chagrin (BR25: "Cruise Ship to the Stars").

Notes

  • Her ambuquad language responses of "boodi-boodi" are inferred as a "feminine" form of Twiki's "masculine" variant "bidi-bidi."
