I think the reference frame used here is a reference to "the enemy's gate is down" from ''Ender's Game'', which is a book that the comic references often.

Cueball and Megan standing on Earth remind me of the illustrations from {{w|The Little Prince}}.

Whether or not the use is 'official', I can't help feeling that describing it as a "robotic" probe gives a different impression to some other term such as "(semi-?)autonomous". At the moment it makes me think of VINCENT from {{w|The Black Hole}} (*surely it can't be too long before the Disney trend to re-release "Live Action" remakes of its old features starts to include this, ''The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes'', ''Blackbeard's Ghost'' and ''Herbie Goes Bananas'' - jus' sayin' in passin'...) or Huey/Louie/Dewey from {{w|Silent Running|The Valley Forge}}. But I must check to see how much actuator use it has, other than for once-only 'deployment' like unfolding of solar panels/shielding.
