    Nailed it. Now we just have to teach Hitty — when she’s using the giant smasher arm — to scream “Captain Caaave-maaaaan!!!”

    I sense impending doom…

      Or impending awesomeness. Sometimes the line between those two states are awfully thin.

        Behind Hitty, or in front… to be precise!

    No external views of their device? Shaenon, you fiend!

    “~I say… did you intend to destroy that particular haberdashery?~”

    “HITTY SORRY. HITTY STILL LEARNING.”

    “How is that possible? I wired it directly into your hitting arm control.”

    “SMASHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM HITTING. HITTY NEED TIME TO MASTER NUANCES.”

    (Later, Hitty successfully smashes a bunch of tall metal things without smashing the shoter, fleshy things running from them.)

    “HITTY KNOWS HOW TO SMASH NOW.”

    “~Jolly good! Now that you’ve mastered our new body, what’s our plan for defeating with the large one?~”

    “HITTY SAY SURGICAL STRIKE. DRIVE TOWARDS ENEMY AT FULL SPEED. SMASH AT FULL POWER MULTIPLE TIMES.”

    “~Err… for how long?~”

    “CALCULATING… BASED ON ULTIMATE TENSILE STRENGTH OF SMASHING ARM, 714 YEARS.”

      Hitty wants to learn Smash, but Hitty can only learn 4 moves!

    Is this ‘device’ intended simply for Annex One to escape, or is she planning, with nuke power, to pick it all up and transport them all to Lovetron?
    Should I include my regular and typical complaint concerning the serious lack of Nick and Virginia?

      “Mamma Foxfire” is being a good engineer and not asking. Client wants 1.21 Gigawatts, Client will get 1.21 Gigawatts

      Nick and Virginia are trapped on another plot thread, but I’m sure we’ll see them shortly! As for Tigerlily’s goals, I can hope that at some point she will think to break open Anasigma’s Institute and let out all the mad scientists.

    Nice to see that Moustachio is being conscientious in looking out for Hitty’s best interests. ^_^

    I will always regret that Hitty never had a chance to team up with FOOT.

    Just one giant smasher arm? It’ll look uneven…

      It’ll look like an enormous version of Hitty. She’ll love it.

        Hitty is a sphere. There’s no way she could be asymmetrical.

          And you haven’t noticed Hitty’s one giant hitting arm? She is indeed asymmetrical.

            Maybe if she had two, one arm larger than the other. Like some baseball pitchers.

    Yup, there’s the third “fusion pie”.

    Apropos of (probably) nothing: Hmm, I wonder where Bubbles is? 😉

      Last seen as owner and commander of the H. C. M. S. Habakkuk. There’s been sightings of a water cooler, but whether Bubbles is *in* it seems up for speculation.

        Ah, that’s where she was last seen — but a lot’s been happening lately. The HCMS Habakkuk would make an interesting base for the nonhumans as they assemble…

    As foretold.

    You know, the “Diabolical Engine” is a pretty hip name for a giant island of mass destruction.

    Three fusion engines, a giant smashing arm, a mobile building, and no shortage of targets. Hitty is in heaven, and may never want to leave her new superstructure.

      A mobile building? My thoughts exactly… but The Fearless Leader team keep fooling me…
      I hope a certain Fifties Mad gets more screentime, as well as the Dork Knight…

    If the power demand is 3 times that of all of St. Charlie, that’s a pretty inefficient robot.

    Of course, Hitty being powered by such a reactor is huge overkill, which is probably why hooking her reactor in will make little difference to her.

      You say it’s inefficient, but you don’t yet know what it is capable of doing with all that power.

    You love to see three lovely ladies getting their mad science on together.
