No need to do that. They can just track Zeetha backwards. Of course, before then they need to break the timelock on Mechanicsburg so they can extract Von Zinzer.
There wasn't yet a character named Zeetha back when we saw Klaus and Bang discussing the time windows. She was created with the rest of the circus about the time the wasps got loose on Castle Heterodyne.

Still, her being present in those time windows would be a massive spoiler of her role in the story. They had to keep the number of people to the minimum there. For the same reason Tarvek was not present either. I would guess von Zinzer was there only because there had to be a reason to look at those specific moments and places.
In a war it doesn't matter who's right, only who's left.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Having looked at those old strips, I was struck by Gil calling Agatha ""Mistress"" - with quotes in the original. That almost implies that Agatha has control of Gil in some fashion.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
There were clearly looking through the time windows to see if von zinzers buddies survived (it seems they did) Im guessing they are testing how the time lantern (or other device they will eventually discover or create) works by using it to locate specific instances they know about to sort of dial in the controls better. They may try to help zeetha but remember she was totally out of it during the whole pirate thing so it would likely be difficult and time consuming to track an air ship through time when the best they can come up with is a general time frame and the location of the base itself.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Unlikely. The quotes around Mistress indicate a sarcastic tone to me. My reading is that Agatha is under cover, pretending to be The Other. Either that, or the Geisterdamen are insisting on proper address. Whatever the reason, Gilgamesh is pretending to be a subservient lackey and is not enjoying the experience one bit.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Oh hey, would you look at that...
I got sucked into an archive trawl after re-reading the scene with the time portals. It brought me to this page.
Same tone, directed from Agatha towards Gil, also dripping with sarcasm. Seems like intentional counterpoint given how closely it follows "Mistress" quote.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Huh. You know, prior to today, if you had asked me if rum cake could make you drunk I would of said it was not possible. That the rum is baked in and thus loses the ability to have that effect.
But 30 seconds of Googling says otherwise. Interesting.
I shall have to make some rum cake and investigate this further. For science of course.
As a pirate, I suspect that Bang has drunken so much rum in her life she's not effected.
Violetta probably has some instant sobriety formula on her. And I wonder if her immunity to poisons even lets her get drunk.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Zeetha probably has some way to deal with it too.
Even if it's just “can fight drunk".
But yeah, that was basically what went through my head.
„Those three getting smashed together is not a good thing for anyone involved*.
Wait a moment. How is either of them drunk?”

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
I think that none of them will get drunk enough to affect their ability to fight. Not in public, not even in Albia’s England. They are all too professional, for want of a better word.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Bang's neck was recently bare in the comic from 20181003
And also lightly less recently bare back in 20150610
I think the neck scars are new, if not fake. Bang didn't have them before she heard about Zeetha, and I feel like we would have heard about it if she'd been decapitated since then.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
The quotes could make it sarcastic, implying he's playing a role he's not entirely comfortable with. This just gave me the idea that the entire time window thing was staged to look a certain way. The giesterdamen, the outfits, even making it look like they're checking on Von Zinzer's mates when they're trying do something else. Maybe they want whoever sees them in the time windows to think Agatha is still under the control of her mother.
Or this is all being retconned as the Foglio's evolve the story as they go.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
I don't think it's new, just the sort of detail that's not always included. Heck in the comic from last Friday 20200925, it disappears in the last panel but was included in the first 3. Some of the middle ones are wash because of angles so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
Judging from what happened with the coffee, it will be a very good year.
(There is a footnote in one of the novels based on a scene in the comic about someone who brewed lingonberry liquer, a particularly potent spirit, drank a load of it every day of a very long life, and when they came to cremate him it took them a week to put the fire out. Oddly, he wasn't a spark)Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Re: Girl Genius XXVIII: Dancink! Ve is here for de dancink!
The first thing alcohol depresses is inhibition. Thus, tipsy people at a night club or party behave in risky behavior, leading to morning regrets.
Now imagine that with Sparks. "Here; hold my Death Ray."
Fortunately, I don't believe Zeetha, Bang , or Violetta are sparks. But that doesn't mean there won't be regrets.Last edited by Scarlet Knight; 2020-10-03 at 10:37 AM.
