Last thread vanished with the crash...

So, the Weasel Queen interlude is over. Is this Storm King opera another one?

Maybe "last time" was the time when he got that huge scar across his chest?

Clearly, the last time was the time with the mad noodle-mancer.

I believe the Word Of God is that he's a construct, assembled out of the remains of two or three brothers who were caught in a lab accident.

Oh my lord is the look on that heads face hilarious. I wonder if he was alive when the Jager got to him.

The page in question.

Aww, I wanted to see how exactly Dr Sun planned to destroy the robot which was holding him in one hand without hurting the guy inside (which Klaus apparently believed he was capable of doing—maybe he made a self destruct button?). And yeah, that's a pretty funny face.

Also, I dunno what you're talking about with the word of god saying Klaus is a construct. He's almost certainly not totally human, but I was of the impression that he had just physically altered himself over time (or more quickly when parts of himself needed to be replaced as results of his adventures).

Have you seen the Girl Genius Wiki? Klaus had two brothers, neither of whom have been seen in a while. There's an apocryphal story that Klaus and his brothers were killed in a lab accident, then Klaus was sewn back together with parts from his brothers and revived. Whether that's true or not, Klaus is listed as a Type II Construct: a Patch Job.

Nah. Klaus' body looks all stitched-together even in flashback sequences from before Lucrezia Mongfish got married.

"Last time" could have been before that. It's a stretch, I know.

Looking at the page again, I noticed the yellow circle centered on his fist, with energy bolts arcing off it: I think Dr. Sun was readying a can of Ki Attack whoopass.

There was a Chinese symbol behind his hand, too.

A decent possibility. We haven't seen Ki Attacks in GG yet, but knowing the Foglios... And this is hardly a hard Sci-Fi setting, anyway- remember the "see the world" guy?

(OT: Remind me- do the Foglios have kids?)

Hey, you know what's interesting? As he was giving information, Vole assured the Baron that Gil was safe and mostly-out-of-the-way, but he did NOT mention that he was brought there to heal, or that the place is there for the injured, and from the Baron's response he clearly thinks it's just a bar. So Vole just lied to his boss to protect the interests of the Jagermonsters and, in a way, Agatha, since if she's got an army on standby it's probably better for her that the Baron not know about it. And yet, earlier he was dead set on killing the first Heterodyne he found.

Is Vole just a very convincing double agent, opportunistic, or legitimately raging against his former masters but just not that smart? Or something else entirely? Knowing this story, I wouldn't immediately assume it was a mistake on the part of a stupid minion.

Perhaps Vole was just kicked out of the Jaegerkin before anyone told him about the real purpose of Mama Gkika's.

Bull. If he knows where they're taking Gil, and knows the state Gil's in, clearly he knows for what purpose.

So Vole wasn't lying (earlier, to Gil). Well, this should be fun. Looks like Gil's got a lot of work ahead of him.

Oh, and let me be the first to predict that Agatha restores the castle's sanity just in time for it to squash the Baron's forces with its legendary automatic defenses. Which may or may not involve getting up and/or turning into a giant robot.

The only trouble I have with that scenario is that we saw something similar in the Battle Circus.

#296: Jun 2nd 2008 at 10:44:53 PM

So, the Battle Circus, but even more epic? That'd be hard to pull off. Beyond the "more epic" part, you'd need to get the Baron out of Mechanicsburg without him returning with the full Castle.

Perhaps Agatha might end up inadvertently triggering the Wasp, if it's still there.

It's interesting how the Baron is using seemingly innocent forces to destroy the castle. Although I can't see how these forces can be overclocked to such dangerous levels unless they were designed to be that way. As for speculation, I think there are too many variables to accurately guess the next few plot points. (For me at least).

Notice how the "Heliolux Air Fleet" person has anti-glare makeup under her eyes. Nice touch.

I just noticed: Ninth Aetheric Vapor Squad? Funny name; aether originally referred to air (it being invisible and unsensable and stuff).

All the better to sneak up on the castle.

Is it possible? The Jagers just got even more fun.
