We also get the answer to the question “How did Chris and Marcie plan to move it out of the building?” Apparently, it didn’t look like that when they left it.
Maybe, but I wouldn’t be so sure Tigerlily’s contribution didn’t consist solely of the retro “portable” rabbit ears TV.
What’s with the spring fixation anyway – the only thing I can think of being made with springs in the 70’s were wristwatches, shouldn’t she be all about transistors and big-ass batteries?
The Man wants you to use electricity, because he controls the flow of Power. Your groovy creations can only roam free if each one has its own mainspring within it.
She needs a huge wall of control panels for power regulation that will explode in showering cascades of sparks with the least provocation, along with a giant knife switch.
Barking Monkey: The irradiator didn’t look much like that in http://skin-horse.com/comic/Babe-lemme/ so someone must have made a few more extensive changes.
The steampunk and clockpunk interdisciplinary meatups* are so popular these days that they mostly just trade and use each others stuff when necessary and don’t worry about it. An inspiring example of teamwork in a cutthroat field, really.
*Distinct from meetups in that they involve reanimating the dead.
Don’t be silly! You can power a mecha suit perfectly well with compressed illuminating gas. If anything goes wrong, it makes for a much more decorative explosion.
Besides, coal dust is a pain to clean out of a wristwatch…
I refer you to the operatic silverfish, the Amish centipedes, and about another dozen forms of life currently living in the basement of this building, all due, one way or the other, to the “experimentation” of the DoI. They almost have Dr. Frankenstein beat by shear numbers alone.
*Cough* Clockwork is as much a part of steampunk as steam engines. No need for coal fired ones!
Your full on steampunk fob watch (wristwatches are a little 20thC for me) will likey have several extra clockwork powered functions over and above the base model, however 🙂
That explains everything now: she’s getting rid of it because she can’t figure out how to use it
Nobody tell her it *doesn’t* run on spring power, mmkay?
I think she knows that.
I think what she means is that she can’t figure out how to make it run on spring power.
Or what, she’ll use the nationality-granting properties of radiation to make the world Funky?
…I’ve heard worse schemes.
Ten cents says the irradiator is actually a fusion pie.

That’s her Lovetron heritage showing. Obviously :p

Can I just say that I am loving me so much? I’ve been showing me to everyone. I just wish that me-me was as cool as she-me.
Just so you know, I’m rooting for you to take out The Dane with a well-timed purse-brick.
Hear, hear!
Her purse is empty.
This doesn’t stop her from strangling him with the shoulder strap, though.
I have to agree, your cameo is very spiff.
Narcisism!
I am so glad to have read the comments to see this.
You *are* cool! Never forget it!
Ah, the problems of thematic overspecialization. Steampunk mads have a similar problem when they can’t find room to put in a boiler.
When they make a wristwatch, they also have to build a coal-fueled mecha suit big enough to wear it.

Or they just use a pocket watch.
Though one might affix a pocket watch to a leather strap.

You’ve given away my secret for powering my wristwatch grenades!
I am positive that steampunk uses nuclear energy for their steam engines, not coal.
Restitching the fabric of life? Is that what the Department of Irradiation has been doing all this time?

Dunno- you might ask the silverfish…
