The scene in question for reference.

Which is itself predicated on Loup saying "My business is not with any of you" as a tacit accession to Robot's first demand, an admission "I wasn't going to interfere with your or Kat's work in the first place" which, again, because attacking someone interferes with their work, was in part an admission of "I wasn't going to attack Kat".

Guaranteeing the safety of the newly awakened was a new ask Robot gave after Loup ceded his first ask as given. It wasn't Loup saying "I'm not promising that" and Robot giving his lesser, backup ask. It was Robot asking for even more to secure his silence when Loup gave him the chance to make the ask.

Also like, I don't really get the point is of making a claim "He only mentions not interfering with Kat's work" and, when your intent with that claim was challenged, backing away from the thing you brought up in the first place to a different quote that you're taking out of context?

Maybe Loup is interpreting Robot's ask to only cover the newly awakened with the earlier request not ceded, but I don't think that's a reasonable interpretation on our part as readers of what Robot actually asked for in that negotiation.

Like, if Loup kills Kat, thus ending her ability to do her work, Robot would tell the others about Jerrek being him in disguise. Like, obviously. Loup has to knows that. But that's what the terms of their agreement are. "I won't talk if you don't do X."

Mostly does better things now. Key word mostly. Writes things, but you'll never find them. Or you can ask.

Yep. Robot made a total of three questions/requests about Loup not interfering with parts of their synth cult, and Loup acquiesced to all three. He covered un-transferred robots, he covered Kat and he covered post-transfer synths.

There's Kat with the creepy techno-goddess eyes again.

Disgusted, but not surprised

To his credit, he came clean before they called him on it. Not sure if they're likely to give him much credit for that, but still. I wonder if they're going to foul things up by not believing that Loup actually is basically full-time Jerrek these days and pushing him to break and then whoops he's not going to 'put Jerrek back on', or if something (in my opinion) more interesting will happen.

Called it. I'm just wondering why they're waiting until now if they knew all along.

They might believe that Loup was just lying about Robot to cause discord.

Based on the Sickly Green Glow, I’m guessing this is the results of Kat’s research into the Jeanne-trapping arrow.

Oh hell yeah. Now this is an interesting development.

I believe I posted here before about a liveblog I was running for Gunnerkrigg Court. Well, that liveblog has been moved to Tumblr. I released my most recent blog just yesterday. If you fellas would find reading a Gunnerkrigg Court liveblog interesting, well, feel free to check it out.

When do you think they figured it out?

Say to the others who did not follow through You're still our brothers, and we will fight for you

I kind of figured Annie was catching on when he was being so cagey at the start, before even he "came out" to Lana.

i thought annie kinda knew from the start. the way she responded to loup always just seemed sus.

i thought they were trying to bait him into revealing himself but then renard's body was destroyed and nothing changed so i figured she probably didnt know

Yeah, I agree that they knew from the start, only I'm kind of wondering why they're locking him up? I mean, I kind of understand why, only I wonder, if they knew from the start, why did they wait so long?

I feel like Jerrek is lanky enough to fit through those bars if he turns to the side.

Signature, schmignature!

Plus, y’know, shapeshifter. But I’m sure this is some sort of Supernormal Bindings designed to cover that eventuality.

Oh God! Natural light!

Have to suspect this all isn't going to work, and Loup is just too powerful.

Ah, I had been wondering about it.

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."

...well, no good deed goes unpunished. (Seriously, why is she doing this now? Since she knew all along - or at least for some time - she didn't seem to mind him to this point, so why is she suddenly getting all stabby?)

She hasn’t actually attacked him yet. Clearly they were prepared for a confrontation, and Loup declaring himself is being taken as just as threatening as if he shifted to monstrous form just like he did to Robot. But let’s see what happens next. Words, I expect.

Hmm, I wonder if Robot is playing both sides, and they already know everything from him?

Oh, that much I'd just assumed. Although I think she'd already known even then.

This makes it sound like they waited until they had Super-Kat to make their move.
