Eh, apart from inspiring her to seek human form so that she can put her notions into practice a Sweetheart under the influence of Tip’s mojo would probably be easier to deal with. My only real question is, would it be capable of working on Unity and calming *her* down? I take that back. My second question would have to be “How likely is it to work on any of the female supers when we haven’t seen any previous signs of them being susceptible to it?” o_O
Sweetheart and Unity have certainly been impressed by Tip’s mojo recently. Whether they would truly be susceptible to it is another question, given that he was focusing his mojo at the room in general, rather than at anyone specifically. OTOH, Panoptica shows no signs whatsoever of being impressed by Tip in any form or fashion. Maybe, being a telepath, she has active, passive, or even natural defenses against such powers.
UNITY has stated that Tip’s mojo does affect her to some degree in the past. Big Bad Wolves, for one, shortly after Sweetheart mentioned it working on her after Tip changed to canine form.
I see that the Liaison Committee discussion is proceeding more smoothly then these things normally do and that a very frank exchange of views is now taking place! ^_^
Your comment made me think of the beginning of The Dirty Dozen, where the prisoners are having a massive brawl sparked by Maggot making a racist remark about having to eat with Jefferson and Major Reisman slips out and tells Sergeant Bowren they’re discussing seating arrangements for dinner.
Can someone explain what “mantling into the cable ducts like it’s a survival rpg” means? The oracle of the uncountable sum has been of no help whatsoever in this regard.
It basically means go hide in an air vent. (Or, in Star Trek terms, a Jefferies tube.) One of those convenient hidden tunnels that secret bases always seem to have plenty of.
Panel 1: This lassie can actually give her warnings in English! Of course, the usual charades would be more Tip’s thing. Hmm, perhaps this would be a good time for him to unleash the Therapy Puppets!
I’m starting to wonder if the iceberg-ship itself will survive our heroes’ visit.
It’s okay, Tip—she obviously doesn’t know what “mantling” means, either, since it’s not really applicable to a cable duct (that would be chimneying).
Noticed that none of the new kids have seen Tip in his natural cross-dressed state yet. They’re probably getting the impression that he’s the most normal one out of the team because of this.
So far in this adventure they’ve seen a paperwork-obsessed Canadian dog in charge, a patchwork-girl killing machine, and a sentient helicopter brain-in-a-box prone to censored obscenities. Back at the office there are mechanical men and women and bureaucrats.
Let’s face it. Tip Wilkin is the most normal one on the Skin-Horse team.
She’s probably actually talking about overhead cable trays. Anything chimney-shaped and intended for cables isn’t going to have enough space for a person.
Tip could do worse than to embrace the sartorial style of Patrick Macnee, who during “The Avengers” was bespoke by Pierre Cardin; I suspect Tremontino is siphoning Tip’s mojo away via that specially-tailored suit… Consider: donning the suit was like removing the carbon rods from a fission reactor at first but now Tip seems to have gone unnoticed by Nera and Panoptica alike…
It’s very satisfying to see Panoptica getting chased by Sweetheart. She isn’t too bright, she disabled Unity but forgot that Sweetheart does not have a safety phrase. And Sweetheart was angry with her, but attacking Unity like she did is probably what tipped her over the edge.
Good operating rule of thumb there, Tip.
there is only one way to fix this, turn the mono all the way up to 7. (I would say 11 but at that level I fear even sweetheart would not be immune.)
Mojo
Which — in ngmatt’s defense — can sometimes lead to mono.

well when all else fails he still has Alice.

Honestly, this is probably standard operating procedure for their meetings.

Yes, Sweetheart! Release the genetically-engineered-for-Canadian-conquest beast!
Heck, yeah! You go, girl!
This whole thing was just to lead up to the third panel, wasn’t it. 😛
Is Unity chewing on Cinderblock’s head?
She will be disappointed, as I doubt there is anything to find in that nut.
Unity chewing on a cinderblock is the most normal thing in that panel.

Thank you.
I assume mantling refers to the rock climbing term of manteling, as in moving up without any place for an overhead grip.
When you get reminded the boss of the helicopter you tried to shoot down has fangs and a hungry zombie aimed at your direction
(THIS is officially Rampaging, Sweetheart, we knew you had it in ya)

I don’t see any of the crew of the Habakkuk participating in this orgy-slash-rumble.

Is Tip wearing a Mr. Rogers’ style cardigan?
Has he gone so fully to the other side?
That is the foul-weather jacket he was issued on arrival. Such are his diminished powers that he was only able to style it into a cardigan.
Needless to say; still hot.
YUP!!
So, in this scenario, Tip is Lassie? In that case, where is the well for timmy? And who is timmy in this case?
More of a “trouble at the mill” “I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition” routine.

“One of us! One of us!” *said with Hipster-like irony*

Panoptica probably could benefit from being bitten by an angry attack dog.
Took me all day to realise what an odd phrase Nera uses in panel one. Old machine gun silo?
Seems like a reference to old Westerns, i.e. there’s trouble down at the old McCoy ranch
LET’S GET READYYYYYY TO RRRRRAAAAAAAAAMPAGE!!! Get ‘er, Sweetheart!
