Syr’Ng: (darn it, he stole my line) you do that, I’ll do the science.
Best: You guys do the sciences, I’ll stick with the liberal arts (music).
Byron: You use your axe for playing, I’ll use mine for hack ‘n slashing.
Frigg: You guys do the @&$ whatever, I’m gonna glowyhammerschitt the #%£&$@ outta it.
Gravy: And I’ll mystically- aw crap. I forgot.
Manymany years ago (very nearly fifty, actually) a wise old Chief Boatswain’s Mate was sitting in the barracks, imparting the wisdom of nearly thirty years’ service to a bunch of snotty kids fresh out of boot camp.
The thing i remember the best was when he said {more or less – it was fifty years ago next May} that you don’t have to swing the big hammer with all your strength, but that there’s a limit to hard you can hit with the small one.
Speaking of Goblaurence and his airship, I finally saw The Mummy 2 a few weeks ago — and I’m sure I’m not the first person to say this — but gosh darn did the pilot of the airship in that movie look a whole lot like Goblaurence!
Before you drop the ship, be ready to man the lifeboats too. Or everybody climbs up on the lines that secure the ship to the balloon, then those at the lowest point on the lines can cut them away from the ship. Keep in mind that you’re supposed to cut the line *below* you, not above you. Oh yeah, then hang on for dear life because you gonna shoot way up when that extra weight drops…
Everyone, that is, except the Captain…the Captain is *supposed* to go down with the ship.
Pay mind that, even though there is a close relationship between them, Science & Engineering are two different things: Science is a mental discipline to seek out new knowledge of what Nature is doing, whereas Engineering is the application of knowledge to solve a problem.
If Byron weren’t already hooked up with Sy’rnj, I’d be shipping her & Gob so much…That would be a matchup from heaven (or hell, depending on whose side you’re on).
Well, give the guy a chance, huh? Sy’rynj only just now stated her plan…Gob hasn’t had enough time on *this page* to mention another plan. He might have some time on the next page, however.
It’s times like these i wonder. What do the other devs or players of the game think is happening right now. Is there a panic breaking out among the developers that some bug caused this?
Maybe some players think this is the dramatic lead-up to the final boss, kind of like how in Skyrim when you trigger the Moon Lord’s arrival, the screen trembles, flashes various colours and so forth for some time before the dude actually shows up.
That’s a damn *big* bug, more commonly known as H.R. The Moderators online at the time have probably all retreated to cower in some corner of the room & have been gibbering incoherently by now.

I think this would make an excellent addition to the required reading or mythos of my school (heavily focused on engineering, as well as, at times, “engineering”: http://www.mst.edu
I like the callback to the first chapter, only with “do […] engineering to it” in place of “do science to it.”
The callbacks just keep coming. :D
This message will self destruct in 5 seconds
self destruct… or blasted by an attack from beyond.
This realm will self-destruct shortly afterward.
Seems Goblaurence is going to engineer a way to give the plan more IMF.
What’s the International Monetary Fund got to do with this?
…Impossible Missions Force.

Gravedust will punch H.R. into submission!
Half dead sky elf? Does that mean Hollister lives or was Clair injured worse than she appears?
Clair isn’t injured, but off panel it was revealed her father was a vampire.
That’s the best joke.
No, that’s Half-Undead Sky Elf.
If only half is un-dead, it follows logically that the other half must be indeed-dead.
Not if it’s, yunno, alive.
Now that’s just crazy talk.
Where ?
Hollister isn’t tagged above. And Claire was leaning on Best’s shoulder on a previous page. So I suspect it’s the latter.
But I wonder if the injuries Goblaurence is referencing are more spirit/morale based than anything physical. Could also be fatigue too.

In other words, even if your enemy has better speed, subtlety & misdirection in their favor, you can counter it with a reckless enthusiasm for massive firepower.

You know what would be rather amusing? If HR gets taken down by the actual Countless.
Yeah man. Don’t hate, simply suggest the opposite.
Something about nabobs here.
nabobs ?
Stop nattering, you.
Nattering nabob nutters, nice!

I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Call in the dropship!

I’d still rather be up in the airship than on the ground, Goblaurence. :P
If Gob still has a bunch of those explosives handy, they could simply…lower the boom.
I wonder why kamikaze-ing comes to mind right now.
Now he’s speaking Syr’Nj’s language: Science.

Stop complaining and offer another idea, or shut up about it!
Something many of us want to say at least once a day.
“But they don’t have a plan, they just hate mine!”

Damn. Sorry… see revised comment below.
