I’m gonna grab a pen and write myself a memo,
And tell myself it came from me!
I’m gonna let my colleagues know
That’s I’ve been talking with GODOT …
I’m gonna tell myself, “Don’t eat this!”
Don’t make me repeat this!
I will describe in detail how I got a demo
To see the things it wants me to see …
I’m gonna grab a pen and write myself a memo,
And tell myself it came from me!
They’re acronyms, but many are unworkable. The last panel is “ADD” which describes UNITY somewhat, but the others? I’m thinking “What The Pluck”(stupid wordfilter) and…no clue, sorry.
My very first thought was that they were acronyms but none of them worked. My second thought was they were word games. (And I thought I was clever from figuring out “I come between Man and the Deed of his hand” == “maniac” untill it was pointed out it was poetry.) Now I figure he is simply paraphrasing literature. “I can see you dog” was the shining and the rest… well who knows.
I’m pretty sure everyone is overthinking things here. GODOT is speaking in seeming riddle but it’s more a they like to speak in borrowed words thing. Thus you don’t need to go any deeper than a first level interpretation such as the deal with “I come between man and the deed of his hand” is simply an affirmation that UNITY is correct in how the message is being presented. Pretty easy to arrive at, coulda borrowed a line from Kyrie Eliseon by Mr Mister and said “Somewhere between the soul and soft machine Is where I find myself again” Either way the basic idea is GODOT is admitting to interfacing with them at a level below the conscious processes but more refined than manipulating sensory impulse or receptors. Therefore it sits right between the mind and the body.
So G.O.D.O.T. is making highly literate grafitti all over the place, and has brought both Skin Horse and Anasigma there. Why do I get the feeling that his/her/its plan is to simply make creepy quotes around both teams until they wreck the place trying to stop him/her/it. (Clever, if true.)
If what I suspect is true, G.O.D.O.T. isn’t leaving any graffiti.
There was no writing on the Moon, otherwise thousands of sightings would have occurred, prompting world wide panic.
Instead, these writing are either directed hallucinations, are being projected directly to the retinas, or possible to the visual cortex.
Well, it was described as “controlled parodeilia”, so it wouldn’t actually be hallucinations or projected images at all, but rather causing us to perceive things as looking like other things, even though they don’t really.
Parodeilia is just when your pattern-recognition acts up and makes you see resemblances between things that aren’t actually connected and frequently don’t really look all that much like each other, like a burnt patch on a piece of toast that looks like the face of Christ, or a shadow in a picture taken by the Mars Rover that looks kinda like the famous picture of Bigfoot, or even just the fact that walnuts look kinda like brains. A smiley face sign doesn’t actually look anything like a human face, but we recognize it as one anyway.
I’ve just been on a huge archives binge and have been thinking all through that Unity is just like a preschooler! (I have two children under three.)
Know thyself, Unity.
*Almost*……
I love Unity.

i hadn’t realized before that she had shame 🙁
I think she only has it when she’s in this heightened state of awareness.
Hmm. For UNITY, brains seem to be the fruit of knowledge (which makes sense, really…)
Not to nitpick, but isn’t there an “a” in “colleagues”?
Not to confirm that, but yes it is.
I really hope that they can resolve this without destroy GODOT. She sounds like she’d be fun to have around once the rampaging stops.
Has anyone understood a SINGLE WORD Godot has said? (Besides “Go down”) 😮 I completely can”t understand him/her/it.
I understood *every* word GODOT has said. It’s the phrases and sentences I’m having trouble with.

You’d almost think the writer had a degree in literature. Or something.
My, GOD. I just found out I don’t know how to spell literature. I’m illiterate spelling literature!! Or I could just be slightly drunk.

How very Memento.
So GODOT is nuts and wants to kill everybody?
Hmm, or should I say is waiting to kill everybody.

Isn’t that what Unity deduced?

That oughta be a on a t-shirt too

It really says something when you’re arguably more adorable than the puppy dog in your team.
