    But didn’t she have just one team member?

      Well, Shelby was there last time. And there’s the Habakkuk crew.

    Why would an emergency call from Florida (2020-03-09) be asking for help transporting zombies back to Florida?

      Maybe Goose Girl isn’t currently in Florida?

      I think the little robot just thought it was an emergency because Goose Girl was shouting. He apparently has never met Goose Girl.

      As far as why they need help transporting the zombies back to Florida, maybe the zombies don’t like where they are right now, and just want to go home. Maybe they prefer swamps.

        Probably the robot could only make out that she was screaming something about Florida, so it misinterpreted it to mean an emergency in Florida.

        Or perhaps a better, classier grade of swamp.

      Given that the part of the operation that SH is likely to be useful for isn’t the ‘point A to point B’ transport but rather helping them settle down once they arrive, it makes sense to me they might not contact SH until at or near their destination.

      There probably aren’t a lot of foster families in FL looking to give a smelly, possibly recovering cannibalistic, zombie a forever home.

        Every “Florida Man” in the state could adopt a sidekick.

        Well, given that Annex One can walk now, it basically is a transport vehicle. Might take a while to get there, but it should be doable.

      Wasn’t there a zombie island? Seems like they want to go back to the mainland

    Yeah, I had the same question.

    It’s almost certainly just a small slipup in planning, like something got changed in one place but not in another. Turns out even cartoonists are only human.

      For that matter, why would Goose Girl need to use a communicator? I’m sure they can hear her just fine from wherever she is. They probably don’t even have to go to the roof to make out the words.

    To be fair, Florida is a big enough place that they’re doing the transport within the state. Or they just might be lost in addition to everything else. Are we sure we trust Goose Girl to know the difference between North and South?

      Of course Goose Girl knows the difference between North and South.
      Or, at least, she knows which way to migrate in the Spring and Autumn.
      (Whether she knows the NAME of those directions… ???)

        Don’t be silly, that would be like not knowing your left from your other left!

      If there’s one thing I would hope Goose Girl would know it’s the difference between north and south.

        Based on her introduction, it sounds as if telling which way is True North is her only power – aside from being mental, that its.

    I’m kinda loving how “1970 tech” Sweetheart’s communication console looks. Did Annex one used to belong to the Thunderbirds? It should really have a reel-to-reel magnetic tape drive to complete the effect though.

      Well, Annex One is equally well-designed as a a rescue vehicle…

    Maybe the Habakkuk is in quarantine and can’t put in to shore.

      Hijacking the quarantine rules to effectively blockade any NHS’s from the US would be a pretty brilliant tactical move by Anasigma.

    By the waycross, I note that Goose Girl got in touch with Annex One and Rogue Skin Horse, rather than the Official Skin Horse (presumably) back at the Maragda Building. Did she ask them for help and get shot down? Or did she just call Our Heroes first?

    Her team members wouldn’t happen to be citizens of a quaint English town with a river running through it, would they? (Is she untitled goose girl?)

    Goose Girl is like my sister when she was younger, wait, no, what am I saying, she acts the same. xD

      I’m impressed you survived your teenage years. Do you still have your hearing? It’s kind of hard to tell in a comment forum.

    My stereotype of Canada geese never matched this character. I see them as the opposite of excitable. The local nonmigratory ones see you driving and step into the road anyhow, and they’re not going to jaywalk faster just because you’re waiting. At least they jaywalk straight across.

    Incidentally, it’s a lie that whitetail deer are all too stupid to know when to cross the street. Many deer are too stupid, but I remember one in particular that waited for my car to pass first, and repeated the Einsteinian feat a few days later.

      Apparently, you haven’t encountered too many Canada geese up close. They have a very short fuse, so they can go from sedentary to “Goose girl” in 0.1 seconds if you get too close. And it doesn’t take much to set them off.

      Whitetail deer are generally pretty smart when they’re alone. However, they do play “follow the leader”, so if they’re in a group, and one of the group has already crossed the road, the rest of the group is extremely likely to follow them. If you’re very lucky, it’s only a group of two or three. I’ve had to stop and wait for a group of roughly 100 deer. It took them nearly 10 minutes to all get across. They couldn’t have cared less that they were making me wait. They were probably glad to have my headlights to light their way across the road.

      They have short fuses, but even when they’re calm they’re still very loud and sound like they’re shouting. Like Goose Girl.

        See that’s the thing I never understood for Goose Girl. I’ve always seen Canadian Geese as being irritable as opposed to excitable. Like, they’re loud with one another but are generally peaceful. They’ll give you a warning if they see you getting too close, but if you ignore that, or surprise them, they’ll go off on you in an explosion of unrepressed rage.
        I’m always reminded of the joke that Canadian’s are so amiable because all their anger and discontent is channeled to their geese.
