Whilst it's not hard for intelligent rational people to figure out, I doubt the prince has. He can't get his head round the concept that others cities won't take action against him (or that his sister can be right, from The Fool (Upright)).
I bet he still thinks that they are just a bunch of rebels who still do not appreciate his glorious rule.
I played a Hero's RPG game about 20 years ago with Power Armor character called "SpamInaCan".
badguy: "I bet you think your real tough inside that tin suit, don't you!!! I bet your not so tough when you're not in it!"
SpamInaCan: "Why, yes, you're absolutely right! that's why I'm in the suit."
I'm not entirely sure how he would feel about your comment... although I am pretty sure I know how he would feel about TeeDee's can opener... he would not like it at all
Yay! Samanta's still functioning. From the look of her though, she better damn well stand down. The Cassians have figured out who's kicking their asses and why, now what will they do? Noctis seems to be running the show while Kali babysits the Imperial Douchebag, so I guess the next moves are up to her.
Oooorahhh! Hit 'em where it hurts, TeeDee! Damn, that is one impressive weapon. Even Ada's a tad surprised at the force of the discharge. The ranks of the Blueshells are about to get a whole lot thinner and a lot of walls are gonna disappear.
Well, she's got a clear order to stand down now. And no particular reason not to follow suit, considering the situation.
Now if one of the reds (currently diving out of the way and for cover if I'm to interprete Ada's words right there) will help her to safety once the dynamic duo has moved on, she should actually make it out of there. And I see no reason as to why they wouldn't do so.
The bluebs however may all place themselves in front of the door as ablative armour for all I care.
I was actually thinking of a long list of common sense hazard warnings on that BFG9000, like:
The Myrmidon is a Class A military grade Assault Cannon, and is not to be used against neighbors who play the stereo too loud.
do not stand in front of the firing nozzle during discharge.
Volatile chemicals in Ammo container.
Not for indoor use.
Add to the list all you all want, but the company is STILL going to be subject to a class action lawsuit because they forgot to add...
I like how their solution to each problem is to pull out a bigger gun... going to be hard to top that one though unless they start calling in that air support... fortunately it seems their problems are running out faster than yet bigger guns ;)
In real time this is all happening very quickly, so TD & Crew have no idea that Lynn & Co. are running to Aeneas. This is going to make for a very long exit path that everyone else is making for them, or put them in an unsustainable position waiting for people to come that aren't there any more. This development will be interesting to see. I guess it means this story doesn't finish in a few weeks. ;)
Nah she will be fine.. Shes not a model four so her pain cut outs are all on shes actually feeling no pain from her injurys .. just alot of red text in her vision.
Damn, I knew the Cassians were tough, but WOW. I mean, she is trashed and will survive that (if you don't drop the ceiling on her or something). That is BEYOND tough.
Still Samata will need some extensive time in the body shop. I mean, she has to get a body BACK! =O
Hell yeah baby! All that carnage! All that Fire! A beautiful symphony of carnage. I cannot wait to see the crescendo of that cannon's wake! Bravo Ladies! This panel has be positively pumped!
That last panel is great, but it's the first one that I can't stop staring at. Really cool! Looks like she may need some fresh skin on her bottom half after this.
Yeah Stever I'm with you. The can opener TeeDee has is impressive... but that first image... It is mezmorizing. Samata is burning, severely damaged but still somehow functioning at some levels. =O
Also like that nice little warning (accompanied by another shot) Ada gives the blues there.
Kinda reminded me of a warning my Vampire LARP chara once gave at the beginning of a gathering, him acting as security chief for that meeting. It was directed at anyone thinking about stealing something:
"Keep your fingers with you. Or I'll keep 'em!"
So, it turns out my rap skills are weak -- but there is no fighting the muse when she asserts herself. Here, for your entertainment, you may imagine TeeDee doing her own version of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" (The first verse only) ...
I like big guns and I can not lie.
Just aim downrange and then let fly.
I see a girl walk in with an itty bitty piece
And a round that's off the shelf.
I get pissed, gutters pack that stuff,
'Cause stock handguns just ain't enough.
Hot loads and a high-cal shell
That's what I use to give 'em hell.
Or maybe a new plasma cannon
Is in my plannin'.
I'm not the kind to trifle
With any hardware less than a big-ass rifle.
Ooh, "Scorch and Wrecks-you"
Is what I bring to "Search and Rescue".
I don't sweat, don't sweat,
'Cause you're just an average target.
I see them runnin'
When they see me gunnin'
Rounds go zoom, boom
That's how you know that I own the room.
Instead of magazines,
Belt-fed ammo is the thing.
When you've got some targets needin' service
Baby makes 'em nervous
So, fellas (yeah) Fellas (yeah)
Does your girlfriend make the cut? (hell yeah)
When wasters shot us (shot us) shot us (shot us)
Tried to kill us but
Ada shot back (New Troy hits with the android cutie)
Ada: "TeeDee, Luna just called. They want to thank you for the hole that you just melted through the moon. They're gonna use it to drop packages to the far side.* They just ask that in the future, you be aware of what Downrange Awareness means for that gun."
Oh yea and Go TeeDee!
{edit} Noctis worked it out in Putting it together
Heck, the prince has probably guessed it already.
They just don't have any concrete proof.
I bet he still thinks that they are just a bunch of rebels who still do not appreciate his glorious rule.
"A situation that may lead to having all of our patients die in a nuclear firestorm would certainly constitute a serious public health emergency."
Carry on.:D
Wonderfully done, even if I DO have to dock points for a lack of puppets... :P
(It comes out above the curve still, since it was REALLY high up points-wise to begin with.)
Such Pew Pew. Much awesome.

There you go, fixed it for you ;D
Flying towers with planetoid plasma beam weapons in it !
Still Samata will need some extensive time in the body shop. I mean, she has to get a body BACK! =O
...and yayyy, Samantha survived...
Go, TeeDee!!!
PS: *lol* @alt text :D
She finally gets to use her toy!
The image is AWESOME... in a disturbing kind of way. I can about feel the heat, smell the burning flesh/plastic, hear the crackling of the fire...
That is definitely TeeDee's toy for sure.
Douchie is probably hiding under a bed someplace with his teddy bear, trying to convince himself it's all a bad dream.
