Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Annnnd yup. The people who predicted Lucrezia would be taking over got it in one, this is absolutely Lu-in-charge.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
don’t they actually need Lu in charge the moment the extractor is switched on?

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Yeah pretty much has to be the arc she gets destroyed unless our MC loses her body and has to run around as a clank for a while or something. Still wish she was just gone, but I guess "it worked perfectly she is gone now" would be an unspectacular end to that subplot.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
We just lose one horcrux...we still have Zolcrezia & Clankrezia at the very least.
I can take a Tarvek doublecross, but I'm just so dissapointed if none of these high level sparks notice that she changed the function of the device until it's too late.
Someone...anyone...just hit her with a wrench.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
And aside from direct copies of Lucrezia there is right now a well organised network of people able to replicate her technology and add some improvements even.
And yes, Von Zinzer is one of the best characters in the comics. While Higgs is also very level-headed, he most often just sits back and observes the events feeling safe and secure (unless there is someone to beat up). Von Zinzer on the other hand is too invested in not-dying to ignore problems, so he gets things done in the most direct way.In a war it doesn't matter who's right, only who's left.

Knock her out, Trelawney. You've got seconds, if that.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
While Agatha seems a bit influenced, she's still acting fairly like her sparky self. It would be no surprise if the Profs were trying to play with the reader's head a little.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Anyone else suddenly worried that the device is now a mass downloader, so she can make even more people into receptacles?

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
This could be Lucrezia, but I'm not sure yet. Lucrezia has never been this good at pretending to be Agatha.
Whatever this is, I'm expecting that its role in the plot is a last minute complication to make the procedure interesting to read, but still something that will not prevent it from succeeding.Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming? Know programming? Interested in game development? Take a look.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
It looks to me like Lu is leaking heavily, but not exactly taking control, just...exerting influence. That will make it tricky to sort out what bits of Agatha's brain to excise.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
This seems to me like the strength of desperation. Agatha is MUCH stronger than Lucretia was prepared for. The locket is an obstacle that she was not prepared for. BUT... She's had time to learn and adapt. She has information that she MUST get back to her other selves, and she is scant minutes from being bottled and delivered to an entity who can very likely deconstruct her mind like a cheap toaster. I'd say she has motivation for an extraordinary effort, and enough experience to give that effort some traction.

I was hoping to be reassured that Lu was not in charge. Mostly because I'm just sick of it at this point.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
I expect Lucrezia to commit suicide rather than accept being extracted and bottled for study.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
This reminds me of my co-workers:
Co-worker A: " Well, we've almost finished moving all these flammable bottles into the lab."
Co-worker B: "I would hate to have a fire dill..."
Co-Worker A: "Worse, a fire".
Co-Worker C: " Hey, anybody smell smoke?"
Co-Workwe A: " Not me."
Co-Workwer B: " Yeah, but I figured it was the cafeteria."

An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Just begone, Lu, or find something new to do besides going on a rampage and creating trouble for Agatha's friends.
I'm still hanging out to hear Lucrezia's motivation/how the Other was created and how this ties into extra-dimensional beings with hats.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Apparently, they are called Dreen.
Though who were they working for then...?
Another fun thing: assuming everything is historically accurate within the vastly different universe GG operates in, GG takes place sometime after the mid-1800s because Polka is a thing. I doubt this will come up, but its an interesting thing to put into perspective.Last edited by Squire Doodad; 2019-08-11 at 06:20 PM.

Now I just miss Von Zinzer, the comic was so much better with him around.

They say that it's important to enjoy your work but Sparafucile might be enjoying it too much.

My Italian's not brilliant, but doesn't Sparafucile mean "fires easily"? The Foglios sure love their puns.
