I hope Cyana just has a temporary spinal trauma. :( Better get her inside!
Well this just got worse. Now there's a bunch of 'em, and I don't think Skeeter and friends know they're coming yet! I hope Skeeter's power supplies aren't too badly depleted! :O
I wonder what it means "HHHarrvvsssst must proceeceeceed" Harvest? Harvest of what? They vaporize the organics . . .
In a way, yes, but it almost has to be something more specific. In thinking about what they were looking for at the gutter base, for instance, how many comm units do they need? Video tablets? Maybe some medical stuff? There's nothing special, and Ophelia would have represented technology. Golden Boy just 'neutralized' her. So what could they want here? More comm units? I doubt there's anything special here that they can't get anywhere.
Maybe it's a specific material or component contained therein? Fusion reactor fuel? There is a lot of 'what?', and 'why?' to this question.
It's a possibility. The one at the gutter base was blowing the humans away, but it was carrying a large container that looks like a stasis carrier, or some kind of fuel pod. It may have been body parts that the gutters had been obtaining. It may be looking for something specific, maybe from a certain lineage? Who knows?
Their hardware seems fine... what they seem to be lacking most is processing capacity. I have a suspicion that they're looking for organic data processing units.
The first panel, two pages back... Does that bit of debris below Mr. Shiny's eye slot look just a bit like a single teardrop? Could our favorite digital artist not resist making an allusion to the Cybermen?
(Dang it! My eyes are getting a bit watery, remembering when we learned the origin of the Cybermen's single teardrop)
The glowing ring looks more like SKEETER's back...
It seems to me that he's facing the Goldiebot they hit and the one behind them is still cloaked a nd closing
I'm also going with called it on the last page. Someone punched the button that said "DO NOT TOUCH". Armageddon has sloshed out of storage.
Given how quickly the first one went down, however, I think home guard may had a decent chance against only 3. If those three are targeting the squishy parts, they won't fair so well, unfortunately.
Well, that's that then...
At least the Goldiebots are behind them so they won't see it coming, probably for the best.
Pity, I liked them but that means they're expendable :(
Still, maybe TeeDee or Dolly will stop by for a cool drink on the way to the practice range
Or maybe SKEETER's number means he's just part of a swarm...
There's some mileage in this arc yet :)
Aha !! So that last signal SKEETER sent before the comm tower got hit attracted the attention of a passing NTSR ship...a very heavily armed and shielded NTSR ship...upgraded and with a mandatory military escort after after Ada and TeeDee's got shot down :)
Ok this page just hit me in the feels. Darned dust in the room making my eyes water. It's make believe I'll just keep repeating that. Bad news there seems to be one behind them. Even badder news there seems to be more than 1 I count 4 total that we know of so far. Even worse news they can apparently cloak. Only bright spot is skeeter is at least facing one of them. I'll read the next one with my eyes covered and maybe peek through my fingers.
I know how you feel, Evervigilant. Cent and Rose have this nasty habit of kicking up all the dust in the room just so they can giggle at us when it gets in our eyes.
But at least now we know for sure that there are more than one of these things running around, so this is probably a different one than the one that wiped out Ophelia's platoon
I love the detail on those reactors (?) in panel two; the stripped paint and or rust looks very good and really adds to the immersion that this place has been operating for awhile now.
yup, when Ada and TeeDee rescue the besieged family just as Logrin and Dusty drop by to see what's holding up their water delivery and finish the Feeliewhackers off from behind, then take Cyana to New Troy for some delicate spinal surgery by Dr Demark and meet Dolly who gives them her old body as a nanny and goes back with them to say hello to Dusty then gets into a pitched battle with the Goldiebot Boss just before Mr Black and Connie drive up to water their cargo of Murderturds and sell Olina a baby one as a pet for Cyana to ride instead of a wheelchair...
Did I miss anyone ?
I have some suspicions considering we know that these goldies have organic components as evidenced by the bloody mess we see on the one Skeeter ventilated. Also seems they are all slightly different body types, heights. I hope, really hope, I'm wrong.
so,,, gold ies speech is not damage,, they all do it...
has some one been watching "Gen Lock" ,,, all the ripped clones have that speech problem..
..cop iess offf cccoopppiieess copiesss ccccoooppppiiieeessss .. .... ......
IF there was more than one (goldie) at gutter base (which it looks like..),, that would explain why they over powered the squad.. Feelie was taken out by tank explosion,, and if they (goldie ) all shot the tank at the same time.. would explain the BIG blast with a little weapon...
ripped clones = all the other "forced memory clone." of Julian Chase... the bad guy Halon pilots ,, not beefcake clones....
and at the end of episode 8,, bad guy says ,, "destroy all the copies of the copies..." but comes out bad english,, "DESsss roy ..cop iess offf cccoopppiieess copiesss ccccoooppppiiieeessss .. .... ......
I.. uhm… I saw something on tumblr's comicfuryConfessional thread today that bothered me, so I thought I would set the record straight...
"98% of Datachaser comments are alts. Most notably DLKMusic and megados. " and "Whats the difference between megados and DLKmusic? Nothing they’re the same person. "
As both megados and I are patron supporters, I'm sure that Centcomm can verify we live in 2 separate parts of the country. Also, he has Technical and Engineering expertise that I lack, which is why I usually stay out of the conversations that get too in-depth in that field. Further, although megados and I do usually agree, there are occasions where we don't.
I will admit that I have posted as an alt on Datachasers ("Fifi the Fashion Cassian" is a running joke, and if anyone hasn't figured it out yet, that is me), but all "Real" posts are done under DLKmusic and only DLKmusic.
Lastly, if you can't tell the differences just by our use of language, then, I don't mean to judge, but maybe you should lay off the hard stuff for a while because it's affecting your cognitive abilities.
Cent, Rose, if either of you think this is inappropriate, please accept my apology, and let me know. I will delete the post.
I personally think it's comical. Now there's even conspiracy theories about the comments section of the comics. XD
I think someone has too much time on their hands. I'm flattered that someone is enamored enough of my comments to imagine all this, but beyond that it's kind of silly. O_o
DLKmusic and I often agree, and in this day and age, I guess that can be thought of as unusual, but certainly not unheard of. We do comment on a couple other comics, but there are comics that only one or the other visits.
For the Record, I have only ONE CF account, and the CF admins can easily verify this by IP, and yes, I'm pretty sure Cent and Rose know the difference as well.
I do like the commenters here, and I don't have any suspicions about there being any large numbers of Alts. A person can have a civil discussion here, unlike a lot of other places.
Cent and Rose, and to an extent, the other commenters here, are the only influence on what I may or may not say in a comment. As for the Tumblr commenter, I honestly don't care what he or she thinks.
*edit: Before today, I didn't know that existed, so I went and looked. What I found are mostly anonymous posts, that disparage comics, their creators, and other people in general. Interspersed, are a few better ones who post under their usual screen names. It's easy to talk shit anonymously.
Thanks, megados. Today was the first I saw of it too. Trash talk happens, but I guess I'm kinda glad they posted anonymously. That way I'm not asking someone in particular if they are brain-damaged or just 12, and can still remain civil to everyone.
all though it does kinda beg the questions of who did I piss off, and what exactly did I say or do?
Alright, I guess I'll have to retire the alts..that's it for megados, DLKmusic,Cent,Rose,Mr Black, Sheela and all the others...I won't use them anymore so you won't see them post here again, they were getting hard to keep seperate anyway...sorry to string everyone along for all this time ;)
ROFL Oldarmourer! You won't get rid of me THAT easily... although make sure you always have a clean shirt on or Fifi the Fashion Cassian might arrest you!!!! (grin)
most likely some random child or childlike individual thinking they're doing 'their' comic some sort of service or who just didn't comprehend one or more of the posts and assumes anything they didn't understand was some sort of slur aimed atthem and if TWO people madecomments they couldn't grasp then they must be the same person 'ganging up' on them because that's what they'd do.
There are a lot of posts in that thread that are direct personal attacks. The only reason I said anything at all is that these two specific posts that I quoted also disparage Terri's and Crissy's integrity, and Megados.
The rest of it.... well, if you're curious, I posted the link, but saying that kind of crap about someone anonymously says more about you than it does them, so it's fairly easy to ignore.
Well, that's mostly it. If all they can do is attack people behind their backs, and make baseless assumptions, then I don't really care what they think, or what they have to say. To do so anonymously is kind of cowardly. It's just background noise.
I'm not a member there either. When DLKmusic mentioned it, I Googled it and it was pretty easy to find. I think they are intimidated by some of the material here, that might go over their head like Oldarmourer mentioned. This probably makes them feel "bigger".
The day I give a solitary yoctofuck what a bunch of precious snowflake crybabies playing One-Man Human Centipede and reveling in their Internet anonymity to whine to each other on Tumblr say about me, my writing, this comic, or basically anything else will be approximately 5.25 x 10^15 days beyond the heat-death of the Observable Fucking Universe.
(Credit to Mister Black for the mathing. And the Human Centipede reference.)
Hi Rose! (Don't mind me; It's always more fun when you come out to play.)
This went straight to confusing now. If Rose is Cent's alt, and Rose throttles Cent, then does Rose make a Cent alt? Then Cent is the alt of an alt? Or does Cent cease to exist, and by extension Rose cease to exist, and the story be created by Oldarmourer, who is behind the Cent and Rose Alts? I have a headache . . . am I an alt?
*edit: Well shit, where is my head at? I almost forgot:
oh went back an reread 1579 - Scorpion Group - on too 1610 - Good News ,,, i bet Rose had a blast with Feelies language .. was looking to see if more than one "goldie" was possible,, it looks it...
And I read the posts that DLK linked us to on tumbler. This person seems to be really unhappy and is taking that unhappiness out in a way that is spiteful and just in general harmful to him or herself.
That or an extreme jealously that this comic has a large number of posters and that most comics on Comicfury do not.
My money is one someone who is disgruntled with perhaps being told off for being ass backwards and shitty. We've got a healthy community here, see: How we've handled this whole incident.
I spent the last few minutes reading the comment tree and laughing my ass off.
Why do I get a feeling various joke alts are going to show up just to screw with the person? Is my username going to get promoted?
Wait, wait, wait ….. waiiiiiiit a minute !
If Centcomm is Rose's alt, and Rose is throttling Centcomm … wouldn't that mean that Rose is throttling Rose ?
Wouldn't that make it auto-asphyxiation ?
Having spent the past few months reading back from the beginning including all the comments, I can see where a few childish twats got themselves and their pitiful attempts at insults hustled to the door and smartly through it, in style. It probably took them this long to work up a good (or so it seemed to them) retort and not having the ability, spinal calcification or intestinal fortitude to post it here went off whining somewhere else about how the mean people made them take responsibility for being complete and utter asshats.
Seems to me, if I recall correctly, one of them had it in for megados...oh, well, considering the sources, all is well with the world, carry on killing off the characters we get attached to at your convenience.
At least it got Rose back on the boards after a too long absence, it just isn't the same without the odd pyroclastic flow of pissed off prose :)
I'm sorry Johninaustin, it's not you I'm laughing at... but picture this profile...

A hookup site? I thought that was snapshat? Or one of those things anyway. I can't keep track of stuff that doesn't interest me.
Isn't tumblr for sharing pictures or something? I'm not sure I've ever seen it before, I just know it through hearsay, rather like twitter and other waste of time social media sites I don't have any interest in.
Don't feel bad, I knew of its existence but still don't completely know what it is. I had thought it was for posting pics and artwork, like Thracecius mentioned. The only times I went there would be following a link to someone's creations, aside from looking up that thread.
I normally barely have time for the main panel, usually catching up on several at a time (especially the last year). This was just too good to miss! Have fun, y'all! Glad to see Cent's not lost the sense of humor with all the other life happenings.
...
Well this just got worse. Now there's a bunch of 'em, and I don't think Skeeter and friends know they're coming yet! I hope Skeeter's power supplies aren't too badly depleted! :O

Or, to harken back to some past Doctor Who episodes, they could try to pinch The Face of Boe.

That can't be good.
Uh-oh is that four more of those goldie units approaching???
...nooooo, Cyana!!!!! *hugs and comforts her*
...please do not kill her off...
@alt text: I think the medical advance they had made sure would make sure she will be fine - if she does not die... =S
It seems to me that he's facing the Goldiebot they hit and the one behind them is still cloaked a nd closing

If this kind of distortion would be used in a botcheck, I would never be able to access the content ;)
Then the first of the other three says "All units, Assault Mode confirm" and the other two say "confirmed".
HHHARRVSSSSST MUST PROCEECEECEED TERTERMINQQQTEATE RESISISISTANCE
ALL UNITS ASSAULT MMMMODE CONFIRFIRM
CONFIRRRMED
CCONFIRMMED
Which I translate as:
"harvest must procede, terminate resistance"
"all units assault mode, confirm"
"confirmed"
"confirmed"
I have lots of experience translating the scribblings of supposedly 'degreed' people who end up illiterate in both official languages. ;)

Honestly, I never cared enough to make an account there, so I don't really know.

If they go out upon the internet and vent their spleens to their fellow mumblr-ites, then I don't really care.

Well, his shoes at least.
They're still buried in the backyard. 😁
