Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
The phrase "surprising yet inevitable" pops into mind here. We all knew how it was going to end, but why it happened surprised us. And only because it's been so long since Agatha did anything not strictly Good, so we forgot she isn't. Here is where the D&D alignment system fails due to lack of granularity: Agatha is clearly somewhere between CG and CN. And I think Klaus thankfully shows that not all sparks are Chaotic.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
The question is, knowing her as he does, why is Wooster surprised by this? Sabotage was a possibility, yes. But so was turning it up to eleven.

Yup. She's a Heterodyne.
Poor Wooster - his expression is so "first Gil, now this..."Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Replying to this again because it was annoyingly familiar. And the I remembered why I missed Von Zinzer so much.

The more I look at this, the more I worry that Lu may be influencing Agatha right now.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
That's definitely a possibility. Zeetha & Maxim's discussion a few pages back could certainly foreshadow that. Maybe there are a number of stress factors that allow Lucrezia some wiggle room to manipulate Agatha? Or maybe the fugue state makes Agatha more susceptible to Lucrezia?

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Is von Zinzer still in Mechanicberg? If Gil had an ounce of sense he'd be second priority after Tarvek, but then if Sparks had sense by the ounce we wouldn't need von Zinzer.

Given his luck, he was standing behind Klaus when the time stop kicked in.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
i would say that Agatha has seen through the fuss and is right not to be afraid of activating the device after repairing the sabotage done by others.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Yeah, I don't think this is Lucrezia's influence.
To quote Der Kestle:

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Bang would use a blade and more menacing language...25-1.
Steelgarter would use that weapon and speech, but left England...15-1.
This might be the most important comic since Agatha was recognized by blood.
In one foolish move, she proved that Klaus, Albia, the Master, and yes, Othar were right. She may have doomed every man, woman, and child alive all while trying to help stop evil."We are the people our parents warned us about!" - J.Buffett

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Yeah its kinda undeniably.
Othar is correct in that Sparks are the source of all the madness.
Albia is wise in keeping all the maniacs in a place where they can be blown up.
The Master did have a weird system, where you need time inside Paris to earn time inside Paris.
And now Klaus has been proved right in that allowing him to hang out with Agartha is in fact a massive risk.
She just have to strong a Spark. Without the common sense or survival instinct Gil and Tarvek has to temper it.
Of course, its likely safer for everyone else if they were around to protect Europe from her.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
In typical Heterodyne fashion, she walked into a secret convension of sparks, and outsparked everyone.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
So is there a missing page or are Higgs and Tarvek just really hard to phase and the gun-wielder was killed off-panel?

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
You can just see the gun in a holster at Time-Shifting Guy's hip.
And the sacrifice is going to be Violetta.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Nice Spot check on the first, and I agree on the second.
Well, more accurately I think she's replaced whoever the planned sacrifice is, because SmokeKnight and we haven't been reminded how OP they are for a while.
