    (well, that’s my prediction, anyway)

    “hic” should have been the first thing there.

      “Sir, why are you naked? This is a library! There are kids here, like that one!”

    We are about to see an uncontrolled mojo detonation.

    There’s no warmer pleasure than telling a genius “You told you so, but you didn’t listen!” 😉

    Artie’s prediction skills must be rusty. Or maybe Sergio still has him thrown off?

      Or maybe not everything is predictable, or at least not always to a useful degree.

      For example, you can maybe predict the day that your mailman will arrive to deliver a letter you are expecting, and if you have prior information to base a guess on you could even guess at a given time of day. But you can’t realistically predict that he’ll get a flat tire on that day and cause the delivery to be hours late, or not even show up that day at all. There’s just too much uncertainty for something that precise.

      Likewise, Artie can predict that Anasigma is likely to catch up with them at some point, but he can’t predict exactly when or where, and even if he did, he might still be wrong. If you have a 99% chance of being perfectly safe, you’re liable to let your guard down – and yet 1% of the time, that’s a mistake.

        In other words, Murphy’s Law is always in effect.

          1) There’s not only one Murphy’s Law.
          2) Murphy’s Laws only apply to warzones.

          They are properly known as Murphy’s Laws of Combat.

            There isn’t just one Murphy’s Law, but the original Murphy was an engineer talking about engineering, so . . . *shrugs*

          Murphy’s Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.

          Corollary to Murphy’s Law: Something will not go wrong if going right will produce an even worse result.

            That’s actually Finagle’s Law. The original Murphy’s Law was specifically about Air Force experimental equipment.

        Artie—well, his mirror-universe version—has previously expressed that there’s limits to his prediction abilities.

      Everyone knows his prediction ability will always fail when it’s comedically relevant.

    Could just be the Library Police.

      Sorry, wrong uniform.

        Could be franchised out.

          That’s really weak, and wishful thinking.

          • Robert Nowall

            Or the Library Police could come and throw them all out.

            Library police doesn’t seem very likely, does it?

            Do you know how many obscure rarely enforced telecommunications regulations you are violating right now? Probably not, but the phone cops do, and Sergio is going to find out. He’s not actually using the phone, but that is exactly why he has provoked their wrath.

    Cinnamon should change the A-Sig guy’s name to Claude.

      Assuming it was Steve and Kyle backing up Echo Bravo when he caught up with Sergio, it may well be Kyle again exercising that dogged determination for which he is so well known…

    Artie really should consider talking to his mom about an antidote for the Cure

    Oh my gosh I just noticed the name of this chapter.

    No wonder Artie is in gerbil form for this.
