Hot and cold, Cypress. Torture mixed with small favors. It’s a classic brainwashing technique. They want to fool you into believing there is a difference between the good and bad humans. In fact, the “good” ones are probably the masterminds. You will need to get your trunk straightened out before the Old War comes back. We can’t afford for you to stiffen up at the decisive moment.
The paper, “A participatory study on the therapeutic value of rampage” was to have been presented at 47th congress of the now-defunct International Society for Really Serious Psychological Sciences by the occasionally maligned and frequently frustrated expert Herr Professor Doctor Otto Von Wusten. Instead, all three met an untimely end during a demonstration of the aforementioned methodology.
Would they? Last time they took her by surprise and used a forest fire. This time she’s ready for them, and they are in a town. They can’t get away with nearly as much collateral damage in a population centre.
Since folks a lot like Tip say that the monsters we imagine take their form from our own thoughts and feelings, it’s not surprising that folks are seeing different skylines in the city about to be obliterated. https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-28/july-2015/monster-mind
Unity WOULD be all for *this* type of healing…
A healing rampage to cleanse the soul and work out the stress from being tortured?
That’s right!
Especially the “rampage” part.
RAAAAAAAAAMMMPAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! Knock over some lattes, you crazy diamond!
A+++++ comment would read again
Bathing in the blood of your enemies is supposed to be good for your complexion, so maybe Tip could use pointers from Unity.
But unity doesn’t bathe in their blood, she just eats their brains, solves a few issues and then goes back to being stupid.
Have the mythbusters checked that one yet? It sounds like an urban legend to me.
(Insert gong.wav here.)

Is that the San Francisco skyline I see in the background?
It’s too horizontal for that.
I thought it was New Jersey.
New Jersey would be appropriate.
Carbondale, Pennsylvania. It’s north of Scranton, near the PA/NY/NJ tri-point.
Wrecksual healing!
Cry hard, with a vengeance.
anasigma building? what anasigma building?
Looks like she’s okay with the four of them.
Let us not speak too soon. Tip hasn’t brought out the puppets.

So where to once she’s destroyed the building? Back to Louisiana? Maybe a visit with her daughter in Colma?
She could, of course, just claim that plot of land at this point. Who would oppose?
Anasigma would capture her again

Aren’t we right now?
Should’a been a comment on the “extirpated” thread below…dunno why it wound up here, commenting on my own comment…
Panel 3: On first viewing, I thought a second Unity had somehow shown up (not the mirror one).
But, But,
We were going to see what extirpated meant!
(and who didn’t know we’d never see that..)
It is a very precise word. Not nearly as comprehensive as people often think.
It may not be very general, as terms go, but it is still worth running away from, if you’re the one about to be extirpated.
To rout out and destroy completely
Particularly with regards to evil beings and orginizations
UNITY looks so serene in the final panel. Almost notorial.
The Zen of Destruction.
The new comic is late this morning—but the Patreon report was real early…
Looking at how cool this was drawn I don’t blame Shaenon for leaving it up a bit of extra time. Plus being Friday night/Saturday morning and all.

Finally got a clear demonstration of defenestration…
