It’s easy to make new zooplankton hordes. Just keep lots of nutrient solution mix available, and hold back some samples from each horde to start the next one going
I was looking forward to his heroic escape as well. It would have been interesting if he really did turn out to be as tough and unkillable as Olaf. ^_^
Agreed. Anyone else wondering if Anasigma is running some sort of Xanatos Gambit with the swamp? Gathering together the “monsters” under one banner so when they restart the war . . . , isn’t there an old saying about “all heads with one neck”?
Once more, talking to the press!
This time, wasn’t such a mess!

Damn it, Ed. Now I have that playing in my sick little head. And sick, I mean, somehow working outside all weekend has left me with a cold. I’m so medicated, I can’t feel feelings.
Oooh, I saw this one being created at an Indian version of Chipotle, now it is colored and distributed by photons and electrons across millions of miles of interconnected circuitry.

It’s hard to predict how this will go considering we don’t actually know what Prop. 39 is. It’s only been described in the vaguest of fashions as “something to do with the undead”.
… which the 14th Amendment already guarantees to all persons residing in the United States. Not all citizens, not all humans, not traditionally “alive” beings, but all persons. They don’t need a new law. They just need a good Supreme Court quality plaintiff that they can use to argue that not giving the undead equal protection under the law is, and always has been unconstitutional.
Ah to be in 2014 again, when I didn’t have to worry about knowing shit like that.
Perhaps in a universe where the undead and the inhuman are an actual concern, it has become necessary to further define exactly what constitutes “any person within its jurisdiction”.
And of course, there’s the part that says “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;” which would seem to imply that one must actually be alive.
That’s what the Supreme Court does, though. If any part of the Constitution is ambiguous, they determine what it means and how it applies to the case at hand and to similar situations moving forward, including whether being alive in the traditional sense of the word is required (after all, those who don’t own any property still receive equal protection, even though that’s also something the State can’t deprive them of), and what exactly qualifies as “life” from a legal standpoint anyhow (or, for that matter, whether an artificially created being qualifies as “born”, but that’s a matter for a different case).
That’s… a weirdly specific thing to say a lot
She had a lot of zooplankton hordes
This is HELEN we’re talking about. I’d be surprised if she DIDN’T shout something like that at random intervals.
Right after trying to set her pants on fire while giggling maniacally.
I don’t know why my avatar didn’t come up there.
Maybe he was on leave, nyao? >-_^<
…. I’ve really got to start reading that
yes, yes you do.
You mean I’m not the only one to do that?
Oh, wait, misread that as “Setting other people’s pants on fire.” Never mind.
And I did shout “Cower before my mutant insect horde, you puny human fools!” once, but it was online during a game of StarCraft so it doesn’t count.

Yes, but that would be a sane, logical thing to do.
it depends on the zooplankton,keeping a control group is vital. She’s still a scientist.
COWER BEFORE MY LIVING SOURDOUGH three to eight weeks from now!
I thought she was more into giant killer rodents.
Dang, beat me to it.
RELEASE THE URGERBILS!
Well, she did attack the U.N. with some sort of plant, as I recall.
I think it’s obvious by now that the director guy isn’t gonna come back and say ” thanks for nothing a**holes”, pity, I was looking forward to that.
I was looking forward to his heroic escape as well. It would have been interesting if he really did turn out to be as tough and unkillable as Olaf. ^_^
nothing went wrong, and with these guys thats not a good thing. the univers will come back to bite them mark my words.
Dr. Lee’s changes of expression, from proud satisfaction to “Oh no, what have I done NOW??” are quite ominous.
Pretty sure it is just the natural response to letting Unity grab your phone and start typing replies under your username.

The scary thing is, this song was just playing in the shop I visited today.
Now it is cemented in my head thanksomuch.
She wears kevlar down there, afair, so it would be troublesome to achieve. Not that such minutiae ever stopped her…
I coulda swore it was Asbestos.
Oh for… It was a response to jdreyfuss’s comment, you know. Somethin’ weird here, I recon…
Even when absent, Helen B. Narbon doesn’t disapoint!
Somehow, “Release the Uberplankton” doesn’t have the same ring to it. Maybe it’s just me…
thats because plankton are plant like proteso where as zooplankton are animal like protesoa.
On the one hand, I was kinda hoping that we could have a really intense political debate, but on the other hand, YES PROP 39 OH YEAH!

I wonder, might the zooplankton thing be a reference to how there were always sea-monkey tanks in Helen’s lab~?~

Well… you don’t, the rest of us are up to date.
“Equal protection under the law”
http://skin-horse.com/comic/unity-had/
… which the 14th Amendment already guarantees to all persons residing in the United States. Not all citizens, not all humans, not traditionally “alive” beings, but all persons. They don’t need a new law.

Sorry, this was supposed to be a reply to awgiedawgie’s “Equal protection under the law” comment.
Perhaps in a universe where the undead and the inhuman are an actual concern, it has become necessary to further define exactly what constitutes “any person within its jurisdiction”.
And of course, there’s the part that says “nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;” which would seem to imply that one must actually be alive.

However, if you pass legislation that explicitly defines same, then there is no need for the Supreme Court to deliberate it.

As the kids say, big mood.
