Probably not. For what it’s worth, here’s my headcanon: Escaping the police was easy in a vehicle powered by mad science, and Virginia was forced to drive until she ran out of gas. Hitty unloaded herself once the car came to a halt, freeing Virginia.
But she started from where the robots had been taken. I figure she squeezed in the car, lowered the steering wheel into position, and was wedged in until she got stopped (hit something cheap) and could work on it.
The dismemberarium was somewhere Pennsylvania way; the Institute was out west near Yellowstone. Probably a quicker drive from the former than a fly from the latter, depending on traffic.
It’s an IDIC medallion from the original Star Trek; a little foray into merchandising. Google around. The *other* important thing is… no Hittie, and Virginia looks grim…
Huh… I was gonna say an Eye of Providence, but you’re probably right. Star Trek replicas fit Marcie’s character more, and besides, they may be the Shadow Government but they’re not the Illuminati (that we know of)
In the Star Trek: Save the Whales movie, Kirk used some minor, clumsy cussing- as we might quote ancient Greek. It’s… unfashionable. Klingons, on the other hand…
I like that it’s not “covered my desk in gelatin,” it’s LEFT it covered. He expects them to do weird shit while he’s gone. He just also expects them to clean up after themselves.
She does have the abilities required by modern police- just give her a PR-24 in place of her mallet, spraypaint her blue, and she’s a realistic Robocop!
Shouldn’t he spell it gelatine? Has he been spelling all his words with the British spelling so far, or just the ones that have a different pronunciation from the American versions?
Sigh, I posted my comment to late, oh well.
Will we find out how she escaped the cops and the car she was in?

considering that, to Hitty, everytihng looks like a nail, i don’t think Virginia has a way to get back now
Cops vs. Hitty. And Ginny is accustomed to being rather gray about law enforcement.
[search query results for Cops_vs_Hitty = 0]
[Did you mean one-sided_fist_fight ?]
Any one else getting “feels” that the Team is almost back together?
Apparently Virginia *was* driving about 660 mph, because she beat Nick back.

Marcie looks like she’s choking the cobra in the first panel.
“Choking the cobra” sounds like a euphemism.
Just remember, that the Cobra are babies
“Choking the Baby Cobra” is no less euphemism-y.
No, the point is, they are babies
Frank Zappa wrote a song about this, titled _Baby Snakes_. Just sayin’.
–Dave, unable to filk it properly, the language canna fake the strain. cap’n!
It’s on the same page in the book as “Eating the Mango”.
Let’s concentrate on the important thing, here. What is that necklace and can we buy one?

Then why does she use a substitute swear word from “Judge Dredd?”
Glad to see someone else spotted that 😀
But, were there any swear words in ST? Other than KHHAAANNNN!!!!!?
In the Star Trek: Save the Whales movie, Kirk used some minor, clumsy cussing- as we might quote ancient Greek. It’s… unfashionable. Klingons, on the other hand…
Klingons make up crap and pretend it’s Klingonese, like that crap with the crab-foreheads is now their ‘true’ appearance
I only spotted it ’cause I Googled it—thinking it was some Klingon swear word.
Sorry,It’s “Infinite Diversity In Infinite Combinations”
I had a mild brain-fart.
Is it worse with a spitting or king cobra?
Yllaria,The necklaca that Marcie is wearing is the IDIC symbol,”Infinite Diversity Infinite Combinations”. It’s a Vulcan/Star Trek thing.
😀
Infinite Diversity Infinite Combinations”
???
I would of never guessed the Vulcans were Shippers 0.o
:p
Not proper ones: they’re not violently prejudiced in favor of any particular ship… 🙂
I like that it’s not “covered my desk in gelatin,” it’s LEFT it covered. He expects them to do weird shit while he’s gone. He just also expects them to clean up after themselves.
Maybe he was hoping for Jello-shots?
Didn’t Mustachio vow not to be parted from Hitty? was that just for when they were endangered? Or did he just break a vow?
Or maybe she just didn’t fit through the door.
Alas for Moustachio. Maybe Hitty has left him for another.
She does have the abilities required by modern police- just give her a PR-24 in place of her mallet, spraypaint her blue, and she’s a realistic Robocop!
I like to think she’ll be rolling in for introductions tomorrow. Or would she let Moustachio take her up to his place?
Infinite Diversity Infinite Combinations? I suppose. Or maybe just a Masonic All-Seeing Eye? I guess the former makes more sense for her.
Which is really appropriate to the theme of this series, actually.
Thunderous applause, everyone!
Anybody else think it was U.N.I.T.Y. was the one with the gelatin? Probably had the idea that the desk would taste like peanut butter.
Maybe the cobra is into gelatin?
Marcie brought jello shots.
Shouldn’t he spell it gelatine? Has he been spelling all his words with the British spelling so far, or just the ones that have a different pronunciation from the American versions?
