    I understand that their jobs kind of preclude this, but it’d be nice if the team met people who weren’t COMPLETELY operating under different basic operating principles all the time.

      Yeah, a lot of them seem to have a… umm… different set of “priorities”.

      I’m not sure any of them would know how to handle it if they did. >_>

    So… is he dead or not?

      Schrödinger’s Sewer Santa, we can’t know if he’s alive or dead until the zombie gator is opened up.
      While he was indeed swallowed by the gator, he appeared to be swallowed whole, with no damage.
      Does a zombie gator even have digestive fluids?
      Lack of air could be a problem, introducing a time factor, but does a zombie gator
      even care if it has a gaping stomach wound?

      If he is indeed experienced at this sort of thing he may have made heroic escapes from menaces that were a lot tougher then this one. ^_^

        We’re ignoring the fact he’s experienced in just these situations. This is obviously an intentional ploy on his part.

      Yes. He’s dead, or not.

    (TUNE: “Let It Go” from Disney’s Frozen, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez)

    The stream flows brown in the depths of the town,
    Where the Cypress creatures dwell …
    The sporiform infiltration
    Makes her minions kinda smell …

     Director’s fate is looking grim
     A zombie gator’s eating him!
     ”Just leave him be!” exclaims K.T.,
     ”Eat me!”

      Let her go! Let her go!
      If there’s one thing we have learned,
      Let her go, let her go!
      It’s the best for all concerned!
      She runs off, in a hissy fit,
      Toward the shambling horde …
      While Tip tries to stop her (a little bit) …

      Darn it, Ed! I haven’t even *seen* that movie yet and you’re already filking it?! (Then again, at least it’s not a spoiler…)

    I would expect a sapient zombie to understand how human risk assessment works and, for that matter, how humans work. Between that, the childlike mannerisms, and the stitches, I’m gonna guess KT is a promethean, rather than a zombie.

      Maybe. Or, then again, since she’s been around for long enough for her to become a pantologist, maybe it’s been too long from that time.

      I recall an SF story about a multispecies exploration team stranded on a very dangerous alien world, and the human member increasingly begins to realize that his team mates priorities are rather different from his own: for instance, one of the aliens thinks this place would be a great place to die in glorious combat…

      You can fight him for it. I’m sure if you’ve read any of the girlgeniusonline.com series, you know that already.

      My plans are never bad. Therefore I never lose my hat. Sorry.

    Speaking as a worker in a..well, not “black” social services agency (more of a “driftwood” or “sand”)…Moe’s quite right. A great many of the clients have VERY different operating principles. It’s occasionally quite astounding how different.

      What genre of social services entails ‘sand’? Illegal immigrant communities or…

      I’d suggest “grey” but the Department for Zombification has dibs on that.

    You know I just realized… with the way Tip looks in each of the panels… I think his mind just got slightly broke 😛

    Oh no. The zombie is running towards the monsters, preventing them from attacking the more vulnerable members of the party (and U.N.I.T.Y.)

    No. Stop. Don’t. You can’t throw away your death like this. :/

    Do your own job, Sewer Santa, and let K.T. do hers!
