## With recent developments, it is likely that much like Jeanne, the Omega Device is at least partly made of a dead person infused with ether and technology.

* As of chapter 93, it's actually looking like ''Robot'' is the robo-satan instead. He gets an etheric vision of himself as a red being with horns, and he later turns into an organic worm, possibly as a reference to Satan's snake form in the Garden of Eden. Considering that he's the one who turns robots into full humans, maybe he's performing a Satan-style removal of innocence on the robots.

The phrase "Walking Eye" is therefore very much on the nose.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Zimmy is some kind of etheric/psychic residue of an alternate-universe Kat who had a much harder life.]]
* They look alike, aside from Zimmy having been beaten up by the ether for her entire existence.
* Kat has no connection to the ether; Zimmy hardly has any connection to reality.
* Annie was unnerved in Chapter 76 when Kat uses the idiom "down that road" just as Zimmy had done recently.
* Gamma tells Renard in Chapter 79 that Kat "was set to travel a dark road...but Antimony's presence helped put her on a better path".
* Zimmy doesn't seem to grow or age; Gamma gets much taller and more adult.
* Being around Kat upsets Zimmy very easily, and Zimmy can't even bring herself to refer to Kat by name.
* The Tic Toc bird keeps finding Zimmy in Chapter 78, but Zimmy hates it (and maybe not just because it's surveillance?).

Judging from the recent story about students finding the [[spoiler:C]]U[[spoiler:R]]SED INSTRUMENTS room, the Court's containment procedures are horrible. It's amazing they haven't caused an XK world-ending-event yet.

** Coyote does say to "ask her about the stars in the sky" so she's probably familiar with space. Tom seems to be familiar with Creator/NeilGaiman, who's written a few stories about people who fell in love with stars: ''Literature/{{Stardust}}'' and the short story "The Heart of a Star" from ''ComicBook/TheSandman'' where [[spoiler: Dream's girlfriend, a precursor to the Franchise/GreenLantern Corps, unknowingly falls in love with her own sun because Desire thought breaking up its brother's romance and dooming the star to a MayFlyDecemberRomance was funny]].

Maybe it's way too early to tell, but Jones seems to be drawn to [[spoiler: the newly 3-Dimensional]] Shadow 2.

She shows superhuman proficiency in areas, displays ''blatant'' supernatural abilities, as per the last few updates have shown that she [[spoiler:hasn't aged a day in decades]]. It's not quite obvious what type, but I'd put money on a Sidereal, because of all the elemental/astrological motifs that are already in play.

A lot of people have referred to her as an "observer" or "watcher" but what kind of watcher plays intermediary between humans and aetheric beings, plays matchmaker, [[spoiler: helps their ancestors catch food, or has a string of loyal "boyfriends" a few of whom she's been involved with since their childhoods]]? If her job was to observe humanity she got tired of just "watching" a long time ago. Unless her job ''is'' to be an intermediary...

She was [[spoiler: a literal rock. The lava was her being "born" on the surface of the earth, being covered up with rock and water, and reemerging with the help of the glacier.

* It's hinted at in "Divine" (though in a very symbolic manner) that [[spoiler: Annie had feelings for or even a relationship with one of the tree elves but had to end it due to her responsibilities to the Court]].
* {{Jossed}}. The "Annie In The Forest" one-shots shows us what happened in that time. As for the above: [[spoiler: she started to like one of them... and then he introduced her to his girlfriend. Remember, just because someone's nice doesn't mean they're attracted you.]]

The bonus page of that chapter - [[spoiler: Annie cut off from her etheric hair]] - suggests far more than a cosmetic change. It's not clear how [[spoiler:Anthony]] would inhibit her powers, but it's reasonable to assume that an attempt to do so would be made. However, the image also has odd cracks or strands in the white space between the hair on her head and everything else. Perhaps that suggests that she is still connected to her powers, however fragile that connection may be...or it might hint at something else which is causing the problem in the first place.

[[WMG: Anthony is trying to revive Surma by [[spoiler: killing Annie.]]]]
''Divine'' shows that Anthony's done something to Annie that Zimmy sees as [[spoiler: bones through the centre of her being]]. Tony thinks he's found a way to revive Surma by [[spoiler: using the life force Annie took from her]], and he's started the process. Whether or not whatever Zimmy does will work has yet to be seen, but he won't be happy.

* Didn't Anthony [[spoiler: request for a scalpel to go to his satellite the day before Annie collapsed?]] Considering that the [[spoiler: bone structures came from the sky]], could that imply that Anthony intended to use the [[spoiler:scalpel to cut something out of Annie?]]
** Bit of both: [[spoiler: He was trying to see (not revive, as far as I know) Surma's spirit but didn't realize it would hurt Annie]]

* Zimmy also [[spoiler: took off Anthony's right hand/arm]]: when she punches him that side is covered by a bright light so whatever he was doing backfired on him literally and figuratively.

[[WMG: Kat didn't inherit her symbol from Diego... she inherited it from [[spoiler: her own future self]]]]
I may be misremembering things, but I don't believe the symbol was ever attributed directly to Diego before Kat inherited it. It was the symbol of their "creator", which... could be Diego... but he only directly created the original, entombed models; not the current ones. Plus, with [[spoiler: Kat inventing the Ticktocks, TimeTravel is definitely already in play]].

Carver was originally on the side of Order as a Gunnerkrigg student. However, he later swapped to Chaos without telling anybody. This is why he's so distant, and also [[spoiler:why his Microsat 5 appears to be killing Annie. Annie is the key to ending the war, being in between the two sides.
