Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
That's how I read it. If the Court is trapped they need to fight Loup for survival, and while Loup is powerful he's also extremely naive and not terribly smart. The Court could almost certainly outmaneuver and defeat him if they were motivated enough. Even if they don't win, the cost to Loup is likely to be extreme.
The star ocean gives the Court a way out without looking like they're running away. They always planned to do this, Loup isn't important enough for them to respond. The confrontation doesn't happen, and everyone is better for it.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
This whole star ocean reveal seems rushed, but oh well.
Kat's question about another being with a Coyote-like ether is pretty sinister. It's not just me, right?Last edited by Clertar; 2022-12-02 at 06:11 AM.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Gosh, RENARD, can you, RENARD, think of any other being, RENARD, who might have power even close to Coyote, RENARD?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
I think it's more likley to be Zimmy. Reynard is powerful, but I don't think he's anywhere near Coyote's level.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Some things I've been wondering:
* What is the Court's legal status, is it a Protectorate of the UK or an independent citystate?
* How does it's economy work? Even if the Court is fully self-sufficient, they must have some system for exchanging favors, both internally and with the outside world. Do they have wealthy sponsors, or subordinate companies?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
I honestly immediately assumed it was Kat, due to the worship of the robots.

Renard, Zimmy does not look like that.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Actually, is it just me, or does Renard's version of Zimmy kind of look like Gamma? Jack said way back that they were "way more than that" when Annie called them "an item" (or something along those lines). Could they have been two halves of the same person this whole time? It would also make sense of why Zimmy knew how to put Annie back together again.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Other than maybe having very full lips (and Zimmy usually having just a line), I don't really see Gamma in the depiction either.
I'm not at all sure what is supposed to be going on with this. I'm not getting it at all. The off-the-shoulder shirt makes it look vaguely like this is a crush-worthy mental image, but we haven't really seen Rey think that way about school children (aside from a side comment about not minding if Annie and Kat made out in a very early strip which might have been early-installment weirdness). The pose is more like he's picturing her dancing. The 'we're friends now' bit doesn't clear it up any for me (anyone have a link to where that happens, btw?). It could be anything.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Reynard's image of Zimmy looks like a mix between a flapper and some pictures of women during the neoclassical Macedonian Renaissance in Byzantine art.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
For Zimmy to say that, and immediately break into a sweat, makes me very uneasy. And worried for her.

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
SpoilerShe's scared of Kate, who looks like a massive iron god to her, and who has lately successfully turned the robots into people -- robots who have built a cult around her.
And then a forest god also turned into a robot and has problems separating himself from the part of a teenage robot, so he might end up also joining the cult, unless being a teenager drives him in the opposite direction.
It's just speculation, but it looks worrysome.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Zimmy...Zimmy thinks Kat's with the Court, doesn't she? And the way she refers to Omega as if it were a person is...worrying, considering, if I recall correctly, that Zimmy's real name is Zeta. But if Omega predicts things with near-100% accuracy, what if Omega planned on Kat using itself to find Zimmy in order to locate her for the Court without Kat knowing that's what she was doing?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
This sort of predictive activity reminds me of a couple of things: one is how Kat had a glance at another time where she lost Annie, and had the foresight to send back a bird to save her. The bird was not destroyed, and instead built itself inside the Annan riverbank into what looked to me like a station meant to collect information.
But also of how Coyote interrogated Ysengrim to know what he would do when the time came.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Wait. Is Annie herself Omega and the Court's just spying on her?

Re: Gunnerkrigg Court 8: Thrown for a Loup
Omega is Zimmy herself, or is somehow powered by her already?
