The downside of being in one of the most secure locations in New Troy, I guess. :-D
If anything DOES ever happen, it will be pure TERROR (I mean, to assault the place would take a fricking giant robot or army of smaller ones :-D)... This is the rest of the time, pure unadulterated boredom. :-D
This actually depends a lot on the relative power of available weapons vs. available shielding.
Historically, more often than not any armour that can be applied to mobile units is not effective enough to withstand massive fire from medium-sized weapons; which indeed tends to favour a larger number of small units. Stationary bunkers on the other hand historically tend to have rather effective armouring, which needs *really* big guns to do any substantial damage to...
(On present-day earth, the latter depends mostly on whether counting tactical nukes or not I guess...)
In short, your claim is impossible to decide without knowing a lot more about weapons/shields technology available in 3825.
yes she is.. actually part of the credit for this page goes to a idea I got from talking to fellow artist/creator Zelfia.. Hes in the military and often seems to draw LONG boring dutys.
Is the nice (but bored) police officer an android or a human? I think she is an android, but I can't see her eyes well enough yet to be sure. :-)
And Shakespeare still known and relevant in the year 3825. Kind of frightening that they hung onto him like that, almost like someone thought he was famous or something. :-D
Stormwind13 look at the hair she has the central blue highlights and the eyes are reflective so I'd say she be a security droid, doubt Centy would trust "mere" humans for guard duty.
Truthfully I thought most of that was lighting. And I don't think there is anything that says a human can't get their hair color changed too, Dragonrider. I mean, Lynn had some semi-permanent dye when she was captured (see Don't Cry, currently page 194 though that will be changing soon). :-) Like I said, I can't see the eyes well enough to be sure, or if the lighting is throwing their appearance off.
Standard fare for the profession. A lifetime of boredom which if you are unlucky may be punctuated by moments of extreme terror. If you are lucky you will find a joke or good story to relieve the boredom.
Something isn't right about this entrance, is this the service entrance where deliveries are made? Also why do I think the card ain't gonna work, the bored guard practicing for the Shakespeare revival is gonna go postal Mira's temper is gonna flare and she ends up in the cooler for the period of her pass and it's not renewed. Also do you read Pibgorn in the daily strips because they are doing a modern day Romeo and Juliet arc right now.
If I'm reading the sign right, it says Private Entrance... and then warns that any and all could be shot on sight (Pro-Active Defenses?). :-D Anyone notice the multibarrel cannon in the second panel? Looks like the one the giant warbots mount. Or like the ones the mech had in Ahta. :-D
I think it is just what it says it is, the private entrance to a secure location. The vehicle isn't going in there, just the people. :-)
Yeah I saw the gatling gun and noticed it seems to be pointed right at the card reader so if a false card is proffered there's no need to target the gun, its preset.
I hear Willie was a bit on the wild side himself every once in a while, or if you subscribe to the Sir Frances Bacon school of thought he was quite a character,supposedly Illuminati as I recall.
It would be hilarious if Mira shows up and starts quoting Romeo's part in the scene. Random and pointless (and highly out of character, I suspect) but entertaining none-the-less
Mira quoting Shakespeare? With her accent? I'd like to see that. My brother once asked me why I complain about Shakespeare when I clearly know nothing about it. My response? "Away, young varlet! I'll hear no more of thy vile imputations this day!" It's the familiarity with his work that breeds the dislike. Just not my kinda thing. I do like when it pops up out of context like this tough.
Yep that is intentional, since CentComm is replacing the older one-panel pages with newer multi-panel ones and therefore reducing the total page count...
I know of one police department where there are concealed slots in the wall of the holding tank, The Cops will go back there with a squirt gun and soak one of the passed out drunks and wake him up squirting water on his face just to watch him tear into other people in the cell for what he thinks they did to him that got him wet.
I will neither confirm nor deny the use of nerf swords while on guard duty... nor the use of petroleum based lubricant under mobile apparatus for containing the posterior end of a primate.
The one shining moment that stands out for me from the years I spent in Girl Scouts remains the weekend trip to a ranch where we re-enacted "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" in the bunkhouse in the middle of the night. /nostalgic tear
I can see how this ties in with the various sections of the world being closed off from one another. Let's just hope they can all unite without one of our main characters dying.
Be careful kill off too many main characters and You're reduced to his Imperial Douchyness and who knows what would happen if he had to get off the Bidet in his private consultation chamber.
Now there's an idea for a set of filler/Sunday pics, Cent. Ask the readership to submit suggestions for terrible, terrible things that could happen to the Prince, and illustrate them. :D
Oh, God yes. One of the really nasty wet ones. The kind that makes it abundantly clear that this is, in fact, something that was heaved up from a mammal's digestive tract. Urrrgh, tripped my own gag reflex here . . .
You know how the Joker always asks his victims "Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
Kali could be the devil, Douchebag could be the victim (who better than him?) and Aeneas could supply some pale moonlight, and maybe play some appropiate music on Nero's fiddle.
Actually I was thinking of having Aeneas cobble up a couple powered exoskeletons for Lynn and Acantha, rolling up Douchyness in a ball inside a force field then the three of them play soccer with Douchy as the ball.
Thank you, CentComm... Rose. :-)

is getting
Seriously 'Stressed'
Whilst Krystal (the android)
is getting
Generously 'Gassed'!
Ha ha just like what I say to my friends when I'm driving!
I'll take Hemingway any day. He'd be a lot more fun to hang out with.

( hey I debated useing monty python or saterday night live .. )
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous boredom...
To sleep: perchance to get fired: ay, there's the rub...
>:=)>
But is it intentional that we are re-using the numbers 1080, 1081 now ?
...and Mira finally convinced Krystal... :p
I hope the nice police officer lady will not be harmed in the upcoming confrontation...
I've seen people have at each other with nerf swords from the boredom.

Unless offcourse they put him in a room with a murderturd, or Tokyo rose .. or a banker ... then it could conceivably be kinda funny.
After all, Kali wants to protect Nova Roma, but Dolly wants to flay him alive for kidnapping Lynn
He could trust his 'Cat'...
by the time
you step in them!
Kali could be the devil, Douchebag could be the victim (who better than him?) and Aeneas could supply some pale moonlight, and maybe play some appropiate music on Nero's fiddle.
.. it would probably be dubstep. >_<
