Once again we see how quick Dimo thinks.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
Well, either Jaegers are just *that good* that having one of them instead of a dozen regular soldiers is a benefit, *or* the Heterodynes just went with "Monsters are cool, m'kay?" and chose them over regular dudes for that reason. Assuming they even thought much about it at all, Sparks very rarely seem to sit down and consider if they *should* be doing something.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
I also deeply suspect that it's not the kind of thing you just give to your whole army or the like, so you aren't trading a dozen regular soldiers for a Jaeger, you are trading specific individual soldiers for a 1-in-X chance of a Jaeger. The types of soldiers who would take the drought aren't the types of soldiers who last forever without massive survivability upgrades. At least it's implied that people who 'ride with the Jaegers' or the like already have a touch of reckless abandon or the like.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
Frankly between the backstory of Old Man Death and Maxim’s sorrow over a goldfish I’m starting to wonder how murderous it really was to ride with the Hererodynes.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
You missed the point in OMD's story where all the rest of the guys with him died, I take it?
I suspect the Jaeger effect slows down how someone changes. They've been noted as being a bit slow on the uptake and not likely to change, so it's possible that you're getting in effect some form of time dilation effect. 50 years of grieving for a pet seems long to us, to a Jaeger it may be the equivalent of moping for a few months.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
I meant this backstory.
Except that going by the way Dimo tells it it wasn't even his goldfish, also there is no indication whatsoever that they perceive time any differently.
But most importantly I was making a joke!Forum Wisdom

Yup. And two pages before that, we saw what happened to his pals (bottom corners).

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
It's a hell of a lot more believable than the excuses we get from National Rail...

Oh yes... Remember, these are the people who came up with delays due to "the wrong kind of snow..."

Heh. That complication should've been expected.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
There's two things here.
First, we know that Oggie, Maxim and especially Dimo are not typical Jaegers. They have spent a long period out in the field on their own, and have ... matured ... somewhat, to the extent that in the absence of the other Generals Dimo is even operating as a reluctant brevet General.
The second is that I suspect that the "dumb battle-happy Jaeger" is something of a facade. Not a big facade - Jorgi (our rank-and-file closet intellectual) goes into some detail here, and Dimo has something to say about it here.
Yes, most of the Jaegers joined up to be, well, Jaegers, but there is more to them than just that. Over time they mature and - if they survive long enough - become Generals.Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Re: Girl Genius XXVII: Hoy! Hennybody else not dead?
ooooo, somebody is about to get punched in the face REALLY hard
Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.
And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

Which matters how to the fact that Tarvek is offering Agatha her choice in stripper pasties for when she goes topless?
