The order for the roadblock could have been given earlier, before the incident at the Library.

[up]Using subverted Master troops to set up random roadblocks around town? That would draw a lot of unwanted attention.

Depends upon how independent the bureaucracy is, and if someone in a position to legitimately authorize it is wasped. I could certainly see the party having enough high level people to want to prevent explosions, tagging along the order for bioengineered animals could be added at a much lower level without asking additional permissions.

I suspect the order for the roadblock was given shortly after "We Begin At Once" - I expect a sizeable number of Parisians were wasped, which will be fun at the party ...

Also, maybe the roadblock are by The Masters' orders, but the specific instructions to look for bioengineered animals are not.

Personally, I wouldnt want Zeetha to teach me that move, I'd be having way too much fun watching her doing it. Esp. in that outfit. Were that bottom piece any lower they'd have to slap an "R" rating on this thing.

Oggie is taking some good comments lately.

Still his comment on the hat is on the dot.

Yes, it's absolutely her hams that are the problem. It may look like it's the glutes but that's an ... optical illusion.

Huh... so I guess even the Heterodyne Boys had plenty of junk in the trunk. I mean, if the line produces so few girls, and it's common enough that Dimo (and presumably other Jagermonsters) have a nickname for it...

I can see a great back and forth continuing from that last panel, with the Smoke Knight repeating themselves each time.

But the party didn't really start until someone demonstrated a way to cause a souffle to uncollapse.

Re-heat it. Souffles can easily be restored by careful application of stop looking at me like that.

I'm sure Agatha would argue the point. tongue

Although the fashion bot as designer to Martellus has a certain appeal.

Sigh. Gil is going to show up in his airship and know exactly where Agatha is, won't he? Paris will be blacked out, except for the Opera house which will be the site of massive chaos and explosions. It really isn't hard to track a Heterodyne, is it? The Clays had it right when they showed up to rescue her the first time.

So the Heterodynes have the "cause or be followed by a huge mess" which makes tracking very very easy as a family trait then?

That seems to be a general Spark trait but yeah the Heterodynes, or at least Agatha, seem to have that turned up to eleven.
