Any possibility that Violetta followed Lady Steelgarter and tracked her contact to the meeting with Bang? That might make her cavalry-over-the-hill when the Great Collision occurs.

I know you all think me mad, but I still say Steelgarter has been Violetta since they fought, if only so I can MUAHAHA on the off-chance I turn out to be right.

That's one of the two scenarios that I think are possible.

All I want is a picture of Krosp chilling in Violetta's lap, since he did say she had "the best lap". Or, you know: https://www.deviantart.com/kingnanamine87/art/Commission-Some-cuddles-big-affection-772364911

Really! Maybe we'll have to commission that from Phil. I mean, how much could it cost?

And I have no doubt that at some future juncture, Violetta will show up ("in the nick of time" with bugles blaring and sabers waving) to 'save the day' for a given value of 'save' and 'day'.

He has survived his share of Sparks after all. He probably figured out very quickly that sometimes the best way to deal with an angry grieving Spark is to give them something else to kill that isn't him.

Train, Castle, and Weasel do not appear to have the Flyer with them. Meaning, Agatha must now go to that lab to investigate it herself?

(way [up]) The only issue I have with Violetta as Steelgarter is how would she know where to go.

I think Tarvek's been tinkering with that gun -it's charging faster.

Ah, Higgs, the perfect Sparkhandler servant when he needs to be.

[up][up][up] My bet is that they freed the flier and it will turn up at a critical moment, just like how Gil, Bang, Violetta and Vole will.

@Candi: Oh, I bet he has. Tarvek is quite capable even when he isn't in The Madness Place. And he quite clearly is. This kind of reminds me of Barry in the aftermath on the attack of Castle Heterodyne - beloved relation (but not direct) just killed, and Sparking out while remaining completely calm. Higgs knows full well that the wisest move is to just point Tarvek at the monsters until Tarvek lets himself feel something else again.

wild mass guessI wonder if Higgs feels a little guilty. He looks bog-standard human, and he obviously has excellent self-control -but he wasn't with the Heterodynes when shit went down with the Other and DK and retrieving Agatha. (If this is making sense.) It might have been due to his other duties, but it still creates the feelings.

Da Boyz more or less shut the Jaegers down. I imagine they all feel some blame.

Who else thinks that Tarvek will be offered To be made a Jäger? Because those priorities do translate to "protect the Lady and her husband".

Come to think of it, are there any significant downsides to becoming a Jager? You get Super-Strength, you're damn near impossible to kill, you have an extended lifespan, and the loyalty is a choice as opposed to compulsion.
