It comes to mind right now is a visit to the Docks by His Imperial Douchieness so he can check on how well his edict is working would be appropriate. I'm sure the beastie would appreciate a few more Redcoats to munch on especially with Imperial dressing on the side.
That's a take off from a 60's radio commercial for some of the cheapest wine around at the time.

I do have a feeling This incident is gonan make TEdee's Personal playlist of Funny crap that happened on duty. Riiiiight after the Ada Muderturd tree incident.
oh yeah, I definitely get a great Terry Gilliam (Monty Python) crazy monster chase vibe, but it also reminds me, with all the pretty girls on the Run, of the late great Benny Hill, especially those hilarious fast forward Chase skits that he used to put on his show!
So here on one page, I have two of my very favorites. What more could You ask?
If Dr. Silver was kind, she would leave an opening in the shield (panel 3) just large enough for the soldiers to squeeze by [not quite hugging the wall], but too small for the Murderturd.
I think this is the closest I've seen to you doing slapstick comedy, Datachasers-style! It was almost Scooby Doo-ish (the chase frames)...except with real consequences if you're too slow! o_0
And Teedee! Who needs the entertainment feeds when you've got "real life" gore and death of poor Red Armor guys...
Point of interest. Granted that critter is armored like a tank on the outside, is it vulnerable from the INSIDE? For biological reasons everything is soft on the inside although the creators may have judged this not to be so. Still I would imagine that the only way to take one of those things down would be to get it to charge with it's mouth open and then fire straight down it's gullet. Depending on the distance you might still die if you were unable to jump out of the way of its death throes. Considering the circumstance that's what I'd do if I was one of those guys. You'd probably buy it anyway but at least you'd go down shooting. OTOH rational thought is difficult with a man eating monster on your ass.
shooting it in the mouth is pretty much the ONLY sure way to kill it.. however it has two brains and will keep trying to bite and eat even after its quite dead... once the body has had time to expends the chemical energy its dead dead.. so its not AS dangerous with a missing head ...
Y'know, thinking about it, there are some more dangerous things they could have had in there. They could have put TeeDee in a high-speed, heavy-duty military chassis, handed her a BFG and had her wait inside, for example.
Heck, if they just wanted to cause as much destruction as possible they could have packed it with explosives. That would have turned out badly for the team though when Clauderius insisted on opening it right now with everyone still present.
But the murderturd was probably the best idea for causing widespread panic, it's something they can seek safety from when prepared for it (as with the shield, super-speed exit, and I'm sure Mr. Black had some hideyhole he got into within one second) and it's something whose rampage, once it got loose, doesn't tie up valuable personnel and may even have some plausible explanation that won't start a war.
As Mr. Black tried to tell Clauderius, the scythe lizard is legal cargo--it's a zoological specimen, requested by a priest of the Church of Genetic Purity for research. There certainly could have been more dangerous things in there, but this one had a 100% legitimate reason to be present. :)
Wow. So they really did find someone stupid enough to specifically place an order for exactly what they brought in, and that manifest really did actually say they had a murderous hungry four-ton lizard in there. At this point, I'm ready to nominate Clauderius for that year's Darwin Award just for not checking the manifest before attempting to force the door.
Actually I probably underestimate. With its armored hide, that might be an eight-ton lizard.
Back on the page "Manipulations", Mr. Black--er, Barclay--is telling the gene-priest that his "standing request" will be fulfilled, after confirming with Kira that she and Pyre were indeed able to get hold of the beastie. :D
And yeah, if Clauderius had bothered to look at the manifest rather than swinging his dick around, he'd have rather quickly seen that that cargo container held a "zoological specimen", specifically an adult scythe lizard (Whatthefuckus ohgodhelpii*), and he might have managed to unass his head long enough to realize that whacking on a big metal box full of perennially angry eatmonster is a terrible, terrible idea.

Q: Would it have been a smart move to jump inside that big, beefy vehicle in the background? I'm thinking it would survive long enough for reinforcements to arrive. Even if it's locked, they could climb up on top of the thing and hope that huge monster can jump far.
With all the distractions running about panicking and shooting at the beastie, climbing into or on top of the vehicle would have been reasonably safe. Dr. Silver's view is "if we don't have to move from this spot at all, that's even better".
An even better place to go, would be inside the container that held the murderturd and close the door. After all, if it couldn't get out of it, it probably cannot get into it either.
Well, there was at least one guy who got off a call for a Heavy Weapons unit before the thing bit him in half.
For our valiant crew's sake, I'm hoping the reinforcements don't arrive with Kali at their head. But even if they do, Kali will spend her time dealing with the scythe lizard, at least at first.
Well, they must be heading for the Castle Aaaarghh then. :)
Now that I think about it though, I can see Benny Hill in it too. :-)

EDIT: I should probably edit this so people have a clue what I said there:
Haven't you herd about the Turd? Everybody knows that the Turd is the Word!

So here on one page, I have two of my very favorites. What more could You ask?
She has a few other Hobbies as well.
She hasn't found a way to make kittens into weapons of mass destruction yet though, but she's working on it!
I really like the sound effects that portrait what is going on.
I just hope that Connie made it to safety...
I hope for the best...
Though I wonder if that is the reason for the second part of the comic's name... - ...though I doubt redshirts count as data. ;)
And Teedee! Who needs the entertainment feeds when you've got "real life" gore and death of poor Red Armor guys...
That's how I killed the warbeast in that alternity game.

im thinking ( stellio manibus ensis rampage ) or some such .... Just kidding .. don't kill me.

-her Hexaflow Valkyrie body, a Plasma Cannon, Several Combat Mods, Heavy Armor, A Striker package, and a Scythe Lizard.
