I do note that TR is staying in the background as "The Specialist'. Might this be so their is no chance of a slip and Ceci recognizing her? One does have to wonder if Dolly might have something extra that was snuck in to her creation by TR when she helped Calliope make the upgrade.
@Haegan2005 This is one of Rose's equivalents to CentComs angels.
jamie, if you TRY to give her alcohol, Rose will hunt you down and hurt you. After the LAST time, she isn't going to be very nice to anyone that does that to her girls. :-D
Didn't Rose help design/create the Three Treasures of Shinedo? I seem to recall something in the comic to suggest this. But I wouldn't know where to begin to find said page(s) or comments. Whatever the case, it's obvious that Tokyo Rose has close ties with Shinedo and the Three Treasures.
WOW!!!! LOOK AT KAGAMI!!!! I'm in love all over again!!!!
So, now the people standing in the "I DON'T hate Kyle" line consists of Myself, Dolly, and Kagami (Miriako is here too, but she's busy at the moment). I would give the rest of you a raspberry, but I'm enjoying the company here too much!
P.S. If you want to join us in the "I don't hate Kyle" line, Sheela, I heard a rumor that Kagami might have a tuna roll she might be willing to share!
Agreed, DLK. That is 'inhumanly' beautiful. I love how pretty Kagami is.
And no I've never joined the Kyle hater club either. I don't have anything against him, but not a whole lot for him either. I mean, he was pretty bone-headed to go after Lynn himself. And even MORE so to then try to drop kick Rose's plans. :-p
In LS TR called the 3 Treasures her "Girls" and implied she helped to design/build/program them. Ooops just noticed I put this in the wrong place it should be under Xpacetrue's post.
I found DC after reading though LS and must say these are at the top of my list for must reads. After weeks of archive diving I am finaly current with DC and now must endure the nail-biting real timewait between pages. I was very good for the first thousand pages - not just archive diving but reading all of the comments and folloing links. However, impatience and involvement got the better of me then and I've skipped the last 300+ pags of comments. Just had to see what happened next! I also observe that here is an entirely different feel between the total immersion of archive diving and relative toe-dipping tri-weekly single page reads.
Regarding today's page, I am afraid this is a bit harsh but I have a new perspective on Lynn. My first reaction to todays' behavior is "what an arrogant bitch!"
Apparently Lynn has not learned a single thing from her impetuousness and all the trouble she has caused. She is willing to jeprodize the operation of an entire city-state just to satisfy her curiosity. She is a guest in the house of Aeneas, she is very well aware of the instability of his mind, and she is well versed in the delicacy and fragility of AIs. Yet she jumped at the opportunity to pull the plug on repairs in mid defrag. That is way beyond irresponsible! The consequences could have been disastrous.
I am also disappointed that Dolly made no move to stop her.
And big kudos to you Cent-Comm and TR for creating a world so real that I could get emotionally upset over fictional characters!
ive been sick with the flu or something this is why i have not been on much I do have to say something about Lynns actions here.
Dolly *did* try to stop her But I in my painkiller induced haze did not show this very well.
And yes Lynn was about to make a mistake But she does that. Shes upset at having her boyfriend killed then alive Shes not all there She wants answers and she wants them NOW. All I can say is ill try to be better at showing things So ill just apologize.
Wow, that was fast. I tried to edit my comment but apparently can't once some has replied.
Absolutely NO NEED TO APOLOGIZE! The level of detail, the strict adherence to internal consistency, the realism that you achieve, the placement and expressions of your characters is so head and shoulders above any other comic artist on the internet that you should apologize to no one!

BTW, the link to ComicFury that used to be at the bottom of the page seems to have disappeared. Intentional?
Already have and have had for some time. Had to go to my profile page to logout.
Links on the bottom are (L-R):
TWC, Comic-Rocket, comic basement, donate
LS, S&S, TV-Tropes
Oh, now I see it - at the extreme bottom - dark purple against a black background (visited site). Almost invisible. Needs more contrast and a bit of "white space" padding before the border.
There are limits to all rational restraints. Lynn's have been thoroughly crossed by a good margin. (She's been dealing with kidnappers, torture, insane rulers, rapists, loved ones being blown away in front of her, desperate escapes, people she cares about dying tragically, sudden arrivals of saviors but not relieving the danger, and now a dead boyfriend is alive and present at her destination before she arrived and doing god knows what.) She wants answers irregardless of circumstances.
Welcome to the Clubhouse, TheSkulker! I think that this is a great post and I agree with a lot of it. Lynn is very much an "Act first, think later" type of person, and has been since the beginning of the strip.
That being said, she has been raised more as the "Millionaires Daughter" than as "Princess of the Realm", and I think even at this late stage of the game, she still doesn't realize that for all intents and purposes, that's what she is.
And I agree with you entirely about Cent-Comm owing an apology to no one!
So! Pull up a chair and watch the show! We have beer and popcorn
Truthfully DLK I would have been surprised and shocked if Lynn had done anything ELSE.
Lynn is obviously intelligent, but she is VERY young (as sigpig points out she just turned 18) and is in WAY over her head. The place she is in right now has virtually NOTHING to do with where and how she was raised. No matter how smart you are, tossing out 18 years of experiences in 10 days/2 weeks (whatever time has passed) would be a bit much to expect.
OK... I just have to say... 1351 pages and you are approaching the end of the FIRST ARC of this comic?!?
If this were a print comic, this would be like the first story arc taking 60 issues. That is just amazing. You put the print authors to shame with their dinky little 5-issue story arcs. THIS is how to do a story arc.
Right but my point is, your story arcs have actual meat on their bones... a lot of meat. If this is one arc, we are looking at a full-on turkey dinner with all the trimmings and side dishes, plus dessert. Compared to this the 'decompressed' modern story arc that is 5 issues long and probably would take a total of 40 minutes to read all 5 issues, is like a half-sandwich on stale bread.
Yeah, that declaration caught me similarly. That announcement makes me worry the esteemed creators might not finish despite making it well past a thousand comics in.
They've been mentioned a few times (mostly in comments) chk. They were shown on a page though. I'll see if I can find it when I'm not on the phone. :-)
The darn poop has been about to hit the fan for almost 7 years now.
Somehow our creative duo has managed to keep it in suspended animation, just infront of the fan-blade for that long.

You can also find Info on the bit on the blog I think somewhere - but im not sure where at this moment
Kagami looks very stunning and other-wordly. I especially like the colorful cyberspace or digital world background. Nice page, all around!
really glad you like her :D

Well, I've never hated on Kyle. Actually, I seem to recall speaking up on his behalf at least once or twice.
... I'm not trying to electrocute Kyle ..
Nooooo siirreee - Not at all .. Nope!
And no I've never joined the Kyle hater club either. I don't have anything against him, but not a whole lot for him either. I mean, he was pretty bone-headed to go after Lynn himself. And even MORE so to then try to drop kick Rose's plans. :-p
...and Aeneas seems to be more damaged than I thought.

And, coming from a "royal" family, she is held to a higher standard.
