      It would just have been too simple if everyone had been blown up. Someone had to survive, and he was just the logical choice.

    But Sergio, you *did* say “nothing could go wrong”. After you said “Everything could possibly go wrong”. The latter meme superceded the former in accordance with Finagle’s Law.

      But he only MENTIONED ‘nothing could go wrong’, he didn’t USE it.

        Nevertheless, he did say those words, in that order. And the universe has a warped sense of humor.

    Well, it does look as though one of Schrodinger’s agents made it! And this does strengthen the case of whoever suggested that Echo Bravo might be a younger member of the Misanthrope family. Now the question remains if Alfa Alfa is also alive so that we can eventually begin the task of breeding new Misanthropes! ^_~

      Until proven otherwise, I’m assuming Echo Bravo survived by landing on her.

    Fate is one thing, the Rule of Funny is a whole other barrel of monkeys.

    The one thing which couldn’t go wrong is the tracking device built into the cat box. If only Artie had suggested Sergio get rid of that as well as the uniform…

    When you do ironic comeuppance, when you say it aloud, you’ve got to *mean* it.

    So Artie rides Cinnamon while chased, and Sergio ‘takes one for the team’….
    unless Anasigma’s programmed to be careful with him, he invented their weaponry.
    Wow.

    If Echo Bravo can deliver both Artie and Sergio to Mr. Green, he will deserve “Lackey of the Year”!

      Strictly speaking, Echo Bravo got transferred to Skin Horse—he’s working for Dr. Engelbright.

      But then, if Dr. Engelbright’s coup isn’t legit, then Sweetheart is still in charge of Skin Horse—which would put her over Echo Bravo.

        I have the impression Dr. Engelbright considers E.B. to be Mr. Green’s right hand man.

        Alternatively, Mr. Green just wants him out of the way.

        In either case, dispatching him on missions where he will likely be dispatched seems an optimal strategy.

          Last time Echo Bravo was sent somewhere by Mr. Green, it was to the Institute, where Mr. Green was counting on his failure. This assignment could be more of the same.

        Echo Bravo received his orders from Dr. Englebright. But when they arrived at the school where Artie teaches, he said of Artie, “It’s a monster so deadly Anasigma sent in a dedicated strike team.” So it would seem he’s still working for A-Sig, but is just assigned to Skin Horse for this mission. Of course, since Mr. Green oversees both organizations, it’s really a moot point.

    There’s tempting fate, and then there’s saying aloud that you’re trying to do the opposite and thereby tempting fate even more.

    Technically true. Sergio, that carrier is not yours!

    The contents, however…

      …are also not his.

      Then again I seriously doubt the carrier actually belongs to Echo Bravo, either.

    When a man who invented interdimensional Gate technology looks to the heavens and demands “Cut me a break!” he may mean more than figuratively…

    Bet you wish you had a gun and body armor now.

    Not that it would be all that good against two guys with body armor and guns but…
