I would infer, from this, that Tigerlily did not build the weather machine. That could be wrong — maybe she’s playing a deep game, where she gets to make a storm-powered robot or something — but there it is.
The next question is, is the weather machine on-site, and so all anyone has to do is push the button to turn it off? Or it might be somewhere else, “aiming” stuff at Annex One, so it would have found first.
The only people who know about the weather machine, though, are Dr. Lee, Ira, and whoever Ira had build it, I guess.
Might Ira be the one who Ira had build it? After all, we have no idea what sort of technical skills he may have picked up over his lifetime with his exposure to both military tech and James Bond-level spytech.. Likewise, we have no idea how far Ginny went in making her weather machine easier for sane people to build. On a good die roll she might very well have gotten it to the point that it would be quite easy for anyone with both access to the parts and the technical skill needed to plug a lampcord into an electric circuit while also getting the documentation written at a level easily understood by anyone with enough literacy to follow the Dick and Jane stories of “See Spot Run!” fame. ^_~
Y’know, the form of the phrase that Tigerlily uses in panel 4 is exactly backwards. It’s supposed to be “If the mountain will not come to Muhammad”. That is, he’s supposed to want the mountain and himself to be in the same location, regardless of whether he moves or the mountain does. Tigerlily’s phrasing makes it sound like he doesn’t want to make the effort.
Tigerlily’s remark could simply be an extension of the original phrase “If the mount will not come to Mohamed, then Mohamed must come to the mount… If Mohamed won’t come to the mount, build a hipper mount.”
Them’s some hips to mount. Bet there’s no mount hipper, no-where. And by the way, there’s a great article on the minds of bees in AEON. Everything supposed about Gavotte is real, true, and known by SCIENCE. I tremble at the power of Lovetron, and also at the mind of Garrity.Or Wells. Thank you very much.

Perhaps Tiger Lily needs to put on some atmospheric music to pull Tip out of his funk and into the Funk.
Tear the roof off the sucker!
Forget the giant robots – Tigerlilly is going to clockwork the Annex One building!
That was essentially my thought as well – if you can’t stop the storm, get out of the way. If you can take the building with you, all the better!
I approve of this plan, and hope that the authors run with it.
I *LOVE* that smile on Tigerlily’s face in the last panel!
Ah… the joy of madness…
For just the briefest moment, I thought Tigerlily had chosen to dispense with whatever remained of subtlety.
In panel 3, that is. She did open herself up to his plans.
*Her* plans – a kingdom for an edit button!
Sorry, the going rate for edit buttons is two kingdoms
Yeah, my eyes played the same trick on me.
My eyes. Really. Not my filthy, filthy mind. Just the eyes.
In your defense, “subtlety” has never been in Tigerlily’s wheelhouse to begin with.
I suppose some form of “mounting” will be involved.
It will probably take multiple screws.
You can lie like lions. Or you can talk about it for three days.
Really, your mojos are both way too low.

Be afraid. Be very afraid… And groovy 😀

I have a feeling Tigerlily is trying to summon someone from Funktron or whatever to come get them. Probably Pavane…
