    Well, take Ira with you… oh, wait. He’d freak out, at this point.

    The shadow government is all fun and games until you pay attention to the collateral damage the bosses leave behind, beneath their notice.

    Then again, maybe Ira was a serial killer who got off light. There is no way to know.

      “Don’t ask how he eats or sleeps or makes it though the winter, it’s just a webcomic – just relax!”

      New random theory – Ira is actually fine with sitting in an abandoned building for years on end, since he’s an Eldritch Abomination which has been brainwashed into _thinking_ he’s a dopey security guard. He has no long-term memory since if he ever remembered what he actually _was_, the world – or at least a large part of it – is doooomed.

        Cripes. Who knew Skin Horse liaisons with the Laundry.

          I’ve wondered whether Skin Horse wasn’t just the public service portion of the Black Chamber more than once…

        Does that make his last name Angleton?

          Naturally.

      With this webcomic, he could turn out to be the evil genius behind it all, pretending to be a mind wiped old man!

    I wonder what Ira’s home life is like.

      Does he have one?

        You know, I don’t remember

          Neither does he.

    Great guardians of legend: Heimdall, Cerberus, Ira, and that Anasigma employee assigned to Tigerlily.

    Ira recognizes her?

    Shouldn’t she show him her Annex One employee ID?

      He assumes that because she knows his name and is acting like everything’s normal, everything is, in fact, normal.

    I wonder if Ira’s memory gap extends to cashing his paycheck…

      Nope, he’s been on Direct Deposit, like, forever.
      What he’s never been made familiar with is who does the depositing.
      When you are on the Black Payroll you don’t ask questions, not even when you _work_ for Finance.

        A system ripe for abuse.

        It does explain the NSA budget…

    Like I said, familiarity will triumph over almost everything else. The two of them will be able to waltz right through the building just in time to get there right after Manifesta.

    Maybe Ira is secretly Gold Bug.

    He’s secretly *something* anyway- remember when he did everything but *tell* Sweetheart to use the drone body?

      He’s playing a long game.

    Ira, let us in that door, ‘fore we fool ya!
    Ira, let us in that door, ‘fore we fool ya!

    Captain Beyond’s such a schlub, he can’t rule ya!
    Captain Beyond’s such a schlub, he can’t rule ya!

    Beyond’s got to beat The Dane, and his herring.
    He’s got to act cool, funky, and insane, ’cause she’s staring.

    Ira, let us in that door, ‘fore we fool ya!
    Ira, let us in that door, ‘fore we fool ya!

    There ain’t balls enough for B, so she’ll fool ya!
    Your amnesia is our key, when we fool ya!
