They dont realize what kind of can of whoopass they just opened .. Dolly said she didnt want to fight.. not that she COULDNT or wouldnt enjoy the fight... ^_^

They say that when Charles Addams would start to 'go off the rails' he would redraw his cartoon about a ghoul in a maternity room, come to claim his offspring. "Don't bother to wrap it; I'll eat it here," he tells the nurse.
Then they knew it was time for a 'vacation'!
actually *I was wondering if anyone would notice her, I threw her in as a easter egg .. thats Mayy Storm from Zelfia :D sans her wings.. I didnt notice that the stunner beans totally covered her face..
Cat the entire TOWN is probably watching. Most of them from somewhere SAFER than the street though. Human nature, they ALWAYS have to watch the train wreck. :-p
Ceci: Set fists for stun, mommy?
Dolly: No.
Ceci: Oh, well what setting should I use then?
Dolly: Demolition and Bowel disruption.
Ceci: Hee Hee! Okie dokie!
Hopefully, for his sake, he's thinking something like "she has time to be polite? Well, crud, this'd be throwing my life away" and putting his gun away. (he did seem to be the intelligent one of the bunch)
ECK!!!!! Dolly Blue when you get out of this stop in the wasteland and get in some damn target practice!!!!!!! Also Rash..no one argues with the performance of a Black Angel, she beats them to death...they die. I want to see her mix it up with Kali, nude wrestling in jello for the enjoyment of all interested parties by then I should be back on my own Komputer.
Note the "look ma, no peeking!" headshot in panel three...if she repeats it (without missing) for the remaining gutters, I think she's good and calibrated :D
I've considered one, catt, but haven't decided on what to use. It'd certainly make my own comments easier to find when checking the replies they've received :D
Try Google Image mining.
You can find a picture of anything you can think of.
You can use Paint to re-size the image to 125 x 125 so it fits CF requirements.
I've got over 130 to use as the mood strikes me.
Switching from using almost pure calculation and 'trained' responses to biological style instinct that can and does throw calculation to the wind in response for faster response time. That would take a LOT of getting used to. Like switching from spreadsheets to inkblots to calculate your taxes.
Yep, it has to be balanced to convey the appropriate amount of speed. Too much and the character becomes The Flash. Too little and, well...she'd be slow enough that the gutter would put her full of lead-induced holes before she could do anything.
Something occurred to me TOday while reading this..
Does any parallel Development in The field that Lynns mother pioneers ever occur? I mean ex: someone else developing a near identical new limb or.....network interface
heh im useing a fairly realisitc injury here - the "shattering" of the helmet and brain matter. can actually be seen .. ( urrrgh ) dont ask about the research on that one .. >_< )
Dolly prides herself on being "perfect: and in her line of work a Miss can actually injure or kill someone. normally between the smart lock weapon and her own internal combat hud , she does NOT miss .. " think robo cop " the gun simply does not fire.. in this case shes actually having to pull the trigger and eye ball the lock. makes it much harder for her,. although she could still shoot rings around proffesional marksmen. but her training is more short to medium range .. not sniping... but shes being much harder on her self than is needed . her shots are coming within millimeters of the targets, and shes fired 4 shots in 6 seconds... think about that .. its a single shot pistol ...
As I understand it, the old combat hud and subroutine took a bit to get a lock on, now she's not encumbered by that, which potentially make the new system much faster once she figures it out.
Offcourse, in order to be faster, one would need a lot more computing power. Like, say, a normal android might need a high end neural net upgrade .. offcourse, Dolly already have that. I'm guessing that Calli knew what she was doing when she didn't integrate a Combat HUD.
Offcourse, expecting a brandnew android to do things "by eye" would be pretty silly, luckily Dolly is far from being a newbie.
Time for that experience to rear it's head.
It's like waking a dragon, it takes a bit, but - oh - once it awakens !
Offcourse, she'll have to manage to "wake up" before CeCi finishes them off. :D
actually with the combat hud she could "lock in" the targets while her pistol was still in its holster, then draw and fire in a single arc. the pistol would auto fire as soon as it crossed the target calculating speed and distance automaticly. what shes doing now is what anyone else would be. estamating. luckly she has many many years of practice and real time experiance to balance things.
note that Dr. Silver is very very tall....and Lynn's the same height as Dolly and Teedee...Ada looks to be close to Marcus' height...and Ceci is short (obviously because shorter = less threatening)
Dr. Silver is wearing 4 inch heels - Lynn is wearing about a 3 inch heel.TD and Ceci are the two shortest of the group :D although Dolly's body is based on Lynn's as a template as hinted at in the comic..
actually Ceci is wearing a 1 inch platform boot with a 2 inch heel .. >_< just to make it more confusing..
Even accounting for the heels, Dr. Silver's tall. Hmm. If Lynn's wearing 3 inch heels, it looks to me that she's about the same height as Teedee, maybe shorter.
Is Ada taller than Marcus, or is that the camera angle?
marcus is standing back a bit. the camera is more to the ground so it looks wierd..and yes Silver is tall actually. Lynn is just a touch shorter than Dolly.. ^_^
I bet some of the boys here would go nuts if you gave out the girls' measurements. Though I'm sure certain among them would hurt you badly for doing so. (Teedee in particular, and probably Dr. Silver as well. With Marcus in the background laughing. Unless you gave out certain of his measurements, too...)
could be a case of the androids not knowing just how dangerous they really are in their brandnew bodies.
But then, they are not exactly common household androids - In other words, those are NOT the androids they were looking for. :)
"By the way, which one's not "Pink"?"*
*(Did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it Derailing the Gutter Train.)
Then they knew it was time for a 'vacation'!
Dolly: No.
Ceci: Oh, well what setting should I use then?
Dolly: Demolition and Bowel disruption.
Ceci: Hee Hee! Okie dokie!
Indeed you have a discerning eye!

"Het mister! My names nott Pink!" WHAM-O! :D
you must whip it
you will never live it down
unless you whip it
no one gets away
until they whip it
I say whip it
whip it good o/`
:D
second I called it Loudmouth 1 headshot.
And third.....I sense a Ceci beatdown coming on!
Isn't it nice, how civil she's being? :D

TD and Marcus though have that perk 5 times each

On a sidenote, the androids seems to be a bit smaller than most regular humans, any particular reason for that, or is that just random ?

And offcourse I looked at the incentive. :)
