With regard to the alt text: Miraiko may have a bit of red on her, but I suspect not nearly as much as she left on Sykes. I'm afraid there's no disputing it ... she got red on her lecher. ^_^
It seems that both that Miriako and Julia red the situation correctly they have a long and enjoyable life. Hope that's the way everyone but Sykes red the situation, but the he was to busy admiring his "students" wire sculpture and finding how well she red his lesson plans.
Re that last panel: how come Miraiko's blood splatters & drips on the shirt are different in pattern from those on her skin? Did she take her clothes off to smack down Sykes, and then put them back on again?
Because Cent would've had to paint up Julia's texture maps too, and that would have taken time we just didn't have if we wanted to get pages out on time.
A thought here do you ever look at the pages before they publish and say *facepalm*Gawd Fucking Dammit this is going to be another page of Gawd awful puns? Or do you do the pages in ways to encourage the puns?
@mjkj those kids have seen enough trauma during their lives. They don't need to be subjected to these two cats in heat on the trip to Shinedo. They could end up scared for life, having seen Miraiko turn into the Metal Nano Wired Human Ninja Blender System, She Chops, Slices, Dices and Purees all in one easy action then she becomes one super horny Japanese sex machine after one equally charged Blonde Doctor those kids would have NO chance of normal relationships.
Come to think about how does Rose handle the audio and video feeds on something like this. And don't tell me she's above it she may be a a frozen corpsecicle but she is still human.
How does Tokyo Rose handle the audio and video feeds from something like this? I'm thinking: straight into permanent storage, replay in HD when she's feeling unhappy at the state of the world. She might even incorporate it into a "These are things that might happen if you make trouble in my city" show-reel. >:=)>
The gory stuff gets saved. Not just for entertainment value; it gets used for training and evaluation as well.
More... personal material is handled more discreetly. When we're talking about the kind of mission Miraiko's been on, casual pillow talk or simple actions can translate into important intel. That stuff gets reviewed by Yasakani, who's the expert on social interaction, who sorts out what's useful and provides a report on it.
You don't think their obviously deeply held care and affection for each other is purely platonic? (As opposed to Aurelia's relationships, which are purely Plutonic. ^_^)
Those hearts LOL.
But those last 2 panels are too happy.
Something is gonna ruin their happily ever after.
Hm maybe Mirako dies and has to be "remade" causing a setback in the relationship with the whole "Honey, I'm an android". So they'll get their furture, its just more bumpy than before?
Granted CentComm (the artist) seems to révèle in tormenting her characters, but I think these two might get to enjoy life for a LITTLE while. Until the next crisis calls on Miraiko, dragging her out of her lover's arms.
I'm pretty sure that Miraiko will be KEEPING Julia, Mark. As far as supporting her though, I think when Julia wants to get a job Miraiko will support her decision.
Miraiko's just saying that neither of them will need to find work immediately and can live on her mission pay. However, she knows Julia very well, and Julia finds immense personal fulfillment and satisfaction in her work as a doctor. Miraiko wouldn't deprive her of that.
Once the dust settles, I suspect new connections will be made with the new govern of Nova Roma, and would it not be lovely if Julia could be the Medical Ambassador from Shinedo ? She would have all sorts of advantages when dealing with old man Setorius.
It really would be very beneficial for both Shinedo and Nova roma to have a Ambassador that know how nova Roma works.
The offer might be made, but Julia would turn it down flat. She NEVER wants to see Nova Roma again. She might agree to provide consultant services, as long as she never has to set foot in the place.
I'm sure they would be allowed to visit her every now and then.
Doesn't sound like there were a lot of people who were nice to her while in Nova Roma; Maxus, Irene (if they met), Acantha and possibly old man Setorius?
Doing another archive dive, this actually gave me a thought. what if Nova Roma asked Julia to BE their ambassador to Shinedo. she would never have to return to Roma, just that Acantha would like her to be her representative to Shinedo. That would give her diplomatic status and a separate income.
Apropos of nothing in particular ... did the Cassian in Comic 524 - "Stop.." ever get matched up with a name, or is she just listed as "Cassian #1" on the credits?
The thought about Cassians having gone through changes, makes it occur to me, that they have been instrumental in a lot of changes. Sadly some have been lost, but let's hope that those remaining get to enjoy a new freedom in a future of hope.
Hey if they are coming to you neck of the woods are you gonna loan them that thing everyone's favorite little candy loving fox not found that your one employee sent you
Doubt is Rash, either that employee is wearing it as a permanent attachment or it went in a recycle bin years ago. Or was that it on the table in Sykes "play room"'
Shower time indeed for both. Shouldn't Julia be a little bloody after that smooch?
A thought here do you ever look at the pages before they publish and say *facepalm*Gawd Fucking Dammit this is going to be another page of Gawd awful puns? Or do you do the pages in ways to encourage the puns?
I blame you, Rose.
And, yes, this is rather surreal, considering the red and gore. But I'm happy for them.
...but they really should take the kids with them...
@alt text: yeah, maybe even together...

Great, now I can't get that stupid YouTube video out of my head... thanks

(and, by all means, a shower)

Even though Julia is from New Troy, she feels betrayed since no one came to rescue her when she got taken, like a specops team did for Lynn.
