    Hmmm. Try as I might, I can’t recall that episode.

      It’s a Noodle Incident. Yes, I know, Unity usually manages to have her noodle incidents on-screen….

    Well, she’s graduated to full finger-steepling villainy.

      Or maybe she’s really an old villain.

    Convenient that the firing button survived the destruction of the rest of the console. That’s an impressive spring.

      And now you know why mechanical keyboards are popular among enthusiasts. 😉

    Building a nest in a satellite array is good?

      It’s a goodness comparable to getting caught in a monster net while break dancing. Which is to say, less good than an agent that does what they’re told.

      I think she was giving examples of what happens when agents use their own judgement.

    Does the sign behind Sweetheart’s head say “Target destroyed” or “Target Restroom” with this webcomic it could be either!

      Definitely Target Restroom. Don’t want stray goose droppings all over the floor!

      If the Killbots helped Captain Waters with the signage, it could say “Target Destroyed” but mean “Target Restroom”.

      I’m pretty sure that isn’t a second ‘O’ in the sign after the first one. Daibhid C could still be right though. For that matter, the sign could be intended to flash various adjectives [destroyed, missed, hit, etc.] and the killbots couldn’t help making them all ‘destroy.’

    Nick had forewarning. I’m not worried.

    Unless he XERODERMIA it up.

    ….what a cliffhanger.
    Can’t wait till’ Monday to see how it turns out.

    So that answers the question whether Panoptica was aboard.

    Good agents use their judgement. Good soldiers do what they’re told. Good mercenaries survive.

    So far the good agents have disrupted the satellite link and put the moster net out of commission. It may be safe for Nick to land now, with AG-I maintaining plausible deniability.

      What question? We already knew she was on board, she interviewed the kid about joining

        I thought she was interviewing him via Telepathy, like how she does Nick. She could have been anywhere in the world.

          Come to think of it, she probably is somewhere else in the world right now.

    “Good agents do what they’re told.”
    “Good agents use there own judgement!”
    “All our agents have terrible judgement.”
    “And what does that suggest?”

      Good agents can probably also spell “their” when they’re actually quoting something on the same screen…

    ‘Commiserate’ has only one s.

    I think we can assume “one of mine” is Goose Girl. But “one of yours”…are Tip and / or Unity breakdancing again?

    • Guesticus

      Well, they are probably breaking something while dancing, and there isn’t any other members of Skin Horse on board…

      My guess is unity.
      Tip was a professional soldier.

    Good agents do as their told. The best agents know when to say “screw it” to terrible orders.

    Bad agents also use their own judgement

    Mediocre agents use someone else’s judgement

    they’re not smart enough to be good agents.

    And once again, Panoptica is a terrible manager.
