Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
What was it Tarvek said? "I had no idea She was capable of such self-awareness"?
While the good ol' psycho version is welcome everywhere (for a given value of "welcome", of course), I rather like that the current arc is giving us more of a glimpse into our favourite pirate captian.Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
Rising to the defense of Lucrezia, who gets picked on a lot, she'd want to preserve the ancient artifacts.
For use in the Mirrors, but still, she'd want to preserve them.
Now I'm trying to remember if Bangladesh has ever killed a Spark in-comic. None comes to mind. She did stab Tweedle a lot back when Agatha was escaping from his castle, but he's tough, he lived through it.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
If the Mirrors don't work, they don't work, though. An Atlantean artefact won't help much if the thing is deactivated on the other side.

Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
What we don't know is how many mirrors are in Skifanderian status (still functional but no one on their side knows how to use them), how many are still functional but there's no one left alive at all after Lucrezia visited or society simply collapsed, how many are functional but are buried in rubble like the one here on the island seems destined to be, and how many are disabled.
We don't know for certain that they can be harmed by anything short of Sparky tech.This ... is my signature finishing move!

Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
Sure, using the downtime to fix up stuff is good. Using the downtime to start at least 3 separate maintenance projects (the engines, the door and the pest control) and leaving them all half done is not so good. One thing at a time, rather than multiple things all at once and all unfinished.

Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
To be fair, before Team Agatha showed up he was stuck with a bunch of murderous lunatics (Okay, there's still Bang, but eh, that's family for ya.) so getting stuff fixed fast might not have been top priority.

Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
That’s true, unless there’s some reason to run them concurrently. Even if that reason is just that the engine is too much heavy lifting to work straight through on, so he fiddled with the door when he got tired, or that he got halfway through the door mechanism and ran into a problem that he wanted to think about for a bit. The pest control, I think he’s actually saying he was going to get to that after he finished the other projects.
Or more likely the Foglios just thought it would be funny to have him treat airship maintenance like I treat home improvement projects. I swear I’m going to rebuild the fire pit in the backyard next weekend, really.

Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
Also other than the engines, which he had in pieces as the active project he was working on, the other problems didn't matter for his original mission: ferrying 2 probably homicidal passengers. Cargo doors don't matter if you're not hauling cargo. Half lift capacity doesn't matter if you're operating well below that. The problem is he's being asked to suddenly perform a mass evacuation.

Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
Not the cargo doors.
The hangar doors. Meaning, even if the piece of junk could fly they wouldn't get it out.
Not a problem if you are just sitting around with some maniacs who won't (let you) leave anytime soon anyway, but kinda bothersome when everything's busy exploding."If it lives it can be killed.

Re: Girl Genius XXXI: Let’s look at it from farther away!
I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

Do I detect doubt in Bang? Can't say that's in character...

I'm going to guess that pirate queens are pretty good combat pilots.
At least one bot has made it safely to Agatha's shoulder.This ... is my signature finishing move!
