Yes, Andrew was asking how she will get out of the train. She’s on it now, but to run far, far away from Violet, she would need to leave it (which can be tricky if it’s currently moving).
Hmmm! Well, it *is* a train of Sparks. If she’s real desperate she could just walk down the aisle saying “Hey, does anybody have an experimental vehicle they’d like a volunteer to test?” It’s possible she’d find one or two who would would be willing to take her up on it. ^_^
More seriously, if it’s like a certain Galaxy Express I’m thinking of she might not even need to leave the train since there may very well be copious space for hiding out right on board. >_>
I was kinda hoping for Pink Floyd myself. “Run Like Foot” would fit Nick’s dialog and tie into Narbonic. And before anyone asks, I couldn’t filk to save my life.
I don’t know this song, but it looks like a pretty straightforward filk:
tune: “Run Like Hell,” David Gilmour & Roger Waters, on The Wall, Pink Floyd, 1979
Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! Run! Run!
Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait!
You better make it seem like you’re
Not trying to escape
Violet Bee is bad news with her
Fake female shape
With her empty smile
And her evil plans
That android brain is trained to take us down
So you can’t let her know
I said to largelyrun. Go
Fast but make it look slow
Win this bout
Get the foot out
Honestly, after Violet’s extremely clumsy seduction attempt, she has a perfect excuse to get out of there without hinting that she spoke to Nick. Whether she’ll be able to do so is another matter – subtle is not her strong suit.
This is actually very possible to do, and an extremely useful skill to have.
Walk for your lives!
I’ma sing the doom song now
Dammit, you stole my joke 14 hours before I even read the comic!
I live in a temporal anomaly, three miles down the road from me it’s 50yrs ago, but on the page here it’s only been 11hrs.
Well, racewalking is an olympic event. She could explain she just needs to clear her head, and then casually go for the gold (so to speak).
Just one question… how the bell will she get out of that truckin’ train?
She’s still on the train. That’s why she was talking about satellite reception a few strips ago

(TUNE: “Run For Your Life”, The Beatles)
I got a call from Doctor Lee,
And she’s stuck in Violet’s room!
She’s best leave expeditiously
Or she’s facing certain doom!
[CHORUS:]
You better run for your life in a casual way!
In the plans that she has, you will pay!
This, you see, is how Ms. Bee
Gets to me, Ginny Lee!
She said this was debriefing,
Now she’s wanting to de-brief!
Virginia should be leaving
Or she’s gonna get some grief!
[repeat CHORUS]
Yeah, Vi-o-let is pure bad news,
And you can’t trust her at all!
So go put on your running shoes
And then foot off down the hall!
[repeat CHORUS]
I knew you’d choose that tune!

Take Unity’s example!
Lurch for yer Life!
“Walk this way.”
Do you think Dr Lee can backwards translate Nick’s swear filter?
Admittedly most of the time anyone could, but she might know its rules.
Run for your life in a casual way.
…doesn’t that describe Anasigma’s morning coffee breaks?
Guessing from your monicker – a Valdemar fan?
Perceptive! I was a huge Mercedes Lackey fan back when I started poking online, and the handle kind of followed me.
Shouldn’t she tell him she knows Lee isn’t human?
Also, Kudos to Nick. That was quite polite anyway!
Half-expected him to drop a Fone Bone-style whoopsie like “No meringueflossing robot messes with my girl! Um.”
“Run for my life in a casual way.”
That phrase describes parenthood with alarming insight…
