I wondered when some clever trooper would bring in the heavy artillery. I'm sure Dolly has combat mods aplenty to deal with situations like this. Kick his Roma ass, Dolly!
We know that Dolly has some speed, Sheela. Took her only 3.2 seconds (from comic of that name, 11 July 2012) to DESTROY Dari. Who was a trained mercenary (albeit scum). Dari didn't even get a chance to react, she just got beaten.
I would normally have said beaten senseless, but Dari was ALREADY pretty senseless... or she would have known better than to tangle with Dolly. Especially after having taken Dolly's 'child'. That was BEYOND stupid.
I think you are right, though possibly for a different reason.
As I remember Dolly was still coming to grips with her new body. She didn't seem to know all it could do. Dolly HAD her training though and it allowed her to more than kick Dari's butt.
YAY, for the first time in over two weeks I can see the pictures and read the text. Due to windows 10 I lost my Komputer for a while total meltdown been using a smartphone.
Looks like "Mommy" is about to get her hands bloody, too bad she doesn't have a built in Light Saber like Ceci.
I have a shirt from some small security company that came up with a great slogan. I have no idea how good they are in general. Anyway the word "castle" in ther name. They want to get medieval on your assets.
Considering the fact that the Prince would not be conductive to getting Lynn to safety any quicker, Dolly has no interest in wasting time on the Prince, so she would simply ignore him.
Stupid question, does Dolly have any exes, possibly ones that may have abused mood- or mind-altering phenomena? The utterly inane death threat makes me wonder if Dolly has an actual high-ex, and how theoretically-edible they may be.
It doesn't seem strange to me. I think panel 3 refers to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_explosive_incendiary.
And panel 2 is simply the annoyance of a new roman citizen with the useless AI routines of the outdated drones, eg. that it pauses to talk before shooting against an extremely aggressive opponent which would not be deterred by that. Possibly even after seeing/hearing another one gunned down moments earlier.
Actually the only strange thing would be that the combat droid has no brackets in the speech bubbles - eg. it is using the same language spoken in new Troy.
Well, at least the doggie gets it, just nobody thought it was funny.
But I must go forth and have a training montage, because I am too soundly defeated as a joker to even respond with the obligatory, "That's what she said," response here.
We know that she has integrated .. what we don't know, is the full capabilities of her body.
However - We *do* know that the body was custom buildt by Calliope, for Dolly. And as long as Calliope can remember, Dolly has been a Guardian.
I would be quite surprised, if the new body hasn't been buildt for guardian duties - And that most definately includes combat.
I do suspect, that Dolly is a pretty dangerous hybrid human/android analog, with quite a bit of power behind it.
Not as hardcore as CeCi, sure, but definitly tough enough to beat up some jumped up guards.
Remember, the guards were off chasing wild geese thanks to Kyle's interference, and the Prince has capitalized on that to keep them out of the way. His personal guards are down there to lend credence to the idea that there really is some kind of danger or threat to track down. Now that an ACTUAL threat exists in the form of the invasion into the palace, the displaced guards are now trying to get to locations where they can join in the defensive efforts. Problem is, that means they have to run TOWARDS Dolly... and they keep on shooting at her, how dumb. ;D
I'm thinking most of the Blueboys (and almost all of Maxus' people) have NO idea that an attempt was even being made. I mean, I know those two that the girls ran into did; however, assassinating your General is probably not something that you want everyone to know, especially beforehand.
Might cause people to revolt, try to overthrow the evil oppressors of the people... Oh nevermind, that IS what is going on... Though we know it wasn't triggered by that order.
Don't forget what we know about the guys in blue (see Out of control...). For the bluebs, telling them his plans for Max would be a way of appealing to them and making them feel special for being in the know. Whilst Decimus is crazy, and can make extremely bad decisions, he isn't a complete idiot. He probably understands the bluebs better than he understands most people.
{edit} I think those guys who taunted Acantha's gang should consider them lucky that they were killed. I suspect that if the prince found out that they had blabbed the plan, and any one of the people concerned had lived, he would have used them as examples of that happens to those who can't keep secrets.
To be fair, the network hub that Dr Silver took over, would probably have told all higher ranking people about the attack on the gate, before they got taken out.
Anyone with even a bit of rank, would have been recalled from the palace, to the gate ... and then, suddenly radio silence .. well, apart from Nyan-cat.
I don't know if it's just my display, but all your strips seem really dark to me. In the voting incentive, Dolly's armor is almost entirely a black blob...
I would suspect your display Cperka. Or you are in a light poisoned environment that messes with seeing it clearly (the office is bad about that with all the florescents)
Mine were looking dark the other day. Someone (My daughter) had changed my monitor settings for a game she was playing on my computer. I just reset my monitor to it's defaults and it's back to normal now for me.
I'm hoping she SURVIVES the fight, chk. I mean, she just took an explosive round. Her shield is down for over a minute and a half.
Am I the only one worried that Dolly could DIE here? If that Blueboy has another Hi-Ex round Dolly could be seriously injured if not KILLED. She is tougher than a 'normal' human being, but not THAT much tougher I think.
Damn, Stormwind. I never even considered that possibility. I've just blithely assumed that some characters will continue ad infinitum. Knowing CentCom and Tokyo Rose, that may not be a fair assumption.

It'd be hilarious if, when they stumble on Democlus, they interrupt his delaying Nox and save his ass only to have him say "I'm sorry, but your princess is in another castle."
Time to learn a lesson about human anatomy, Dolly... when you hit someone, your hand will feel the pain, hit them hard enough and it will feel it for days.
Ah, but what's a broken knuckle or two between friends...
I'm so excited!
It's all about flexibility and speed.
And I suspect she has a lot of both!
I would normally have said beaten senseless, but Dari was ALREADY pretty senseless... or she would have known better than to tangle with Dolly. Especially after having taken Dolly's 'child'. That was BEYOND stupid.
She would have blown her bounty hunter cover otherwise.
As I remember Dolly was still coming to grips with her new body. She didn't seem to know all it could do. Dolly HAD her training though and it allowed her to more than kick Dari's butt.
At least, that's what Calliope said.
Looks like "Mommy" is about to get her hands bloody, too bad she doesn't have a built in Light Saber like Ceci.
So medieval it shocks even CeCi's watchdog.
Alas, poor combat drone, we hardly knew ya.
Probably better that way.
I know Dolly is tough, but is she Rhonda Rousy tough?!!
(I bet she is!)
Which would infuriate him to no end! :D

The Drone is speaking in Standard sense most people understand it.
... which would be an interesting thing to bring to Roma, during an undercover mission.
But I must go forth and have a training montage, because I am too soundly defeated as a joker to even respond with the obligatory, "That's what she said," response here.
@alt text: yeah, indeed.
Plus her own Love for Lynn and Callie.
Just for that she would do anything it takes for them, her "Family"

That's the best kind of armor you can get!

viewr discretion is advised
ETA: Lemonade in your nasal passages STING!!!!
And now it's all taken! *pout*
Ah, but what's a broken knuckle or two between friends...
Great job as always, Girls!
It'll take a fair bit to break her knuckles. :)
Keep voting guys, back up to 14!
It would be nice to get lower, but one step at a time, and then all of a sudden .. dubstep!
Massive caliber high explosive shots!
Woo!
