    Now that *does* look like something from the Prisoner. Number 2’s residence, to be precise.

    Have we agreed that this is a VR world? Cliff diving would be okay, but…if they’re just in Anasigma’s holodeck, the safeties might be off and it’d really, really, be a bad idea.

      It may be safe, but going to see the mayor may be a little less painful. Remember the walnuts.

        There’s also the question of “Does safe for the locals necessarily translate to safe for those with normal human biology(aka Ginny)”? Mind you, this is skipping lightly over the question of whether little kids are always the best judge of what constitutes “safe” as well. >_>

        So yeah, I’d focus on trying to see the mayor some more. Or maybe talk to some of the older locals again if that’s not viable. ^_^

          There isn’t enough evidence to show that contacting the mayor isn’t viable yet. Virginia may need to go back down before she can be certain, though, in order to get some blankets, a chisel and a lump hammer.

    The question remains: Just how did they got up?

      Well, you put one foot in front of the other, and repeat till you’re there.

    Cliff diving? That’s easy for you to suggest, kid, but you’re not the one wearing slacks. Tutus reduce one’s terminal velocity to that of a dandelion seed falling in calm air, which is why dancers wear them.

    Definitely accept the helmet. We need answers.

      Share the helmet? Take turns or at the same time? VR might could.

      First Beatrice jumps off with the helmet and goes to the bottom of the cliff, and then she hands the helmet back to Dr. Lee at the top of the cliff.

        Nice. These things seem a lot simpler once you have had them explained to you.

          They could do it the other way ’round.

    What if it’s a VR helmet?
    A meta VR VR

      That’s a great way to overload your processor

    So, you think we’re gonna see Bea’s eyes next strip?

      My money’s on the ol’ “mask under the mask” gag.

    secret entrance partway down the cliff – a door leading into empty air?

      Oh god, don’t make me relive the end of The Maze Runner. That book still terrifies me.

        That was a thing Narbonics actually had the mother of one of the main characters have. A door just leading out onto a cliff. Casually.

        So it might be a thing.

          Everyone needs a nice third-story door to nowhere. Of course, Dr. Narbon took it to the next level. After all, she was Mad.

    Hmm. I wonder. Maybe the other characters we’ve seen are aspects of Dr. Lee’s personality that have been isolated and confined? A literal solipsistic nightmare!

      Welp, time to get cracking on some Skin Horse/Red vs. Blue crossover theories.

    If harvesting walnuts all day in a permanently rainy camp doesn’t break her, watching over a hyperactive (possibly virtual) eight-year-old just might.

    Seriously, Unity. Even if it’s just the worst aspects of her personality, that’s Unity.
