Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
It's the sort of thing he'd do, but it may have been done while he was on Castle Wulfenbach. I'm unsure of the timeline, but I think this corruption appeared a few months or years ago, which is why the Deep Ones approached the surface dwellers for help. Dr. V spent quite a while as the Baron's prisoner.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
I'm leaning towards "Monahan is the Song Keeper, and she tried screwing with the spring further up (but didn't make it to its source) so it'd work with her rats better".
She may, very simply, be lying to Lucrezia - or rather, lying by omission by pointing out she hasn't found the source, but not mentioning she has gone some distance upstream, where she did all of that.Last edited by Squire Doodad; 2022-01-21 at 01:58 PM.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
New comic
"What would Agatha do?" is not a good approach to things*.
At the very least it should be followed by "Would her companions try to stop her?"
Fortunately I'm on the safe side of the fourth wall and can enjoy the inevitable chaos.
*That goes for most Sparks actually."If it lives it can be killed.
If it is dead it can be eaten."

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Anyone else feel this is basically like reattaching the wheel in the bottom of der kestle? Basically turning the flow of power back on to the structure after some sort of event knocked it off track.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Agatha puts too much trust in her creations, which I think is a general failing of Sparks. Sending Castle and Train off without adult supervision may not be prudent.
"We will need help!" "Watch and learn" - I think Der Kestle is about to create a minion horde to repair and reactivate an ancient power source. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
To be fair, most sparks trust their creations enough to end up killed by them.
Plus I'm not certain we'll see a dingbot horde again until Mechaniccsberg is free. At best I think we might get a coupleof second generation clanks. I suspect that instead they're going to try to grab a member of the party to help them.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Exhibits one and two: her boyfriends.
I don't think any human sized creature can reach the room they are in. We have been shown that Monahan couldn't reach the source (this room) because the flow was coming through cracks in the wall.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
I'm guessing the castle is about to speak some words that tempt fate in some way. The same way that Lucrezia is afraid to say the Heterodyne boys' names, in fear of drawing their attention and summoning them ( https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/com...3#.Ye7j_yDML5U ). But will that sort of thing work if done deliberately?

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Cue arrival of evil Sparks, stage right. Because now the evil plan is revealed, and Team Agatha must be prevented from getting a message to Londinium.
I notice even Bang is "Let's not kill these particular creatures", even though she's usually enthusiastic about killing things. It's either the icky factor or the "huge and possibly unstoppable" factor.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Presumably he's got some ability to screen his thoughts from Albia, otherwise the scheme would have been detected by now. But "screen your thoughts from Albia" is probably very different than "hide the truth from Albia when her undivided attention is upon you and she is searching through your mind as though she was sifting sugar". I think he needs to contact a smuggler post haste and head for somewhere that won't trade him back to Albia for some diplomatic nicety.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Prediction time : Our Laurel and Hardy duo will get that fire relit, which in turn purifies the magic water stuff and clears up the issues with the mirror. This allows our group to go through the mirror, at which point that old curator guy pulls a gun and threatens/challenges/tries to kill the group, but the princess calls for Albia who shows up and deals with the situation. This allows the Queen to send troops through the mirror (not herself, she has show reluctance to leave the source of her power, something Lucrezia herself pointed out). So we have British troop to combat the rats and a usable mirror captured. Obviously a big fight between robo-Lucy and her minions and Agatha's group commences, at which point Bang decides it is time to try and take on our favorite Skifanderian.
Or maybe I need more sleep and I'm forgetting five or ten things that make this prediction nonsense. It happens.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Well, one problem with this prediction is that the barrier on the mirror in the current comic appears to be some sort of intentional defense, not something caused by the mirror being not yet fully functional (compare its appearance to when the mirror was first turned on). This suggests that even after they fix the flame they still won't be able to use the mirror.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
Remember that Clankrezia is NOT a spark, that needs a biological mind (or Agatha's tinkering on the Master Dingbots). Agatha can definitely outspark her.
The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
It is difficult to assess how good at Spark-like behavior Lucrezia is; she certainly seems to be in charge in the main lab and to command respect from Monahan. OTOH, leaving the door marked "Do not open" unopened suggests that you're right, she's no Spark.
Which brings up the subject of Sparky allies: Lu has Monahan, whose expertise seems to lie in biology, while Agatha has Rakethorn (adventurer skills?), and Neena (archeology).This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
I'm pretty sure that basically no-one in comic has any regrets about Othar being far away
Sparky nonsense is undoubtedly on the incoming- one factor that seems to have been overlooked by people on this thread is that time stops interact rather oddly with the Queen's Mirrors; if Prende's Lantern is pointed the wrong way when Agatha and crew arrive in the mirror room, who knows what's going to happen?Times being what they are, the stars aligning and the End of All Things barely registered as background noise.
At a bit of a loss as to what to do next, and with bills to pay, a certain Elder Thing has taken up bartending.

Re: Girl Genius: XXXenophile Edition
It's why Agatha skipped a few years when leaving Mechanicsburg.
But that might also have happened because it wasn't a regular Mirror connection.
Didn't Tweedle mess around with a (fake?) mirror to get Agatha to his base?
A proper connection might have protections against that sort of situation."If it lives it can be killed.
If it is dead it can be eaten."
