    Howdy, I see a typo perhaps in the 5th frame. The grammar doesn't make sense in the Red AI's text box.

        I thinking that these power a set of security gates that guard Eternal Refuge – shutting it down for a moment could temporarily let the RC enter?

        Or are they for user identification?

          thats what i was thinking, like the cavalcade think doing this will slow ferial but it will prolly just end up helping him out to get past Rulebook

          I reckon you're onto something. remember the slipspace thing that was charging like 20 comics back. The one that Viper was dealing with? Well this may stop it from charging and slow ferial from getting to Eternal Refuge.

    do i spy a few halo:CE references there, name hushed casket and the disruption of the energy beams, going to be interesting to see how he gets round that however since he cant justboost his shielding, even if he could i doubt it would be safe with all the damage he has sustained, would be interested to see what condition things are in with regards to that

    • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
      January 7, 2009 at 6:21 am | #

      Yeah, using shield generators at this point will prove rather… fruitless.

        Was the damage to his suit fixed when he combined with the Cavalacada, or is he still running around with a over used piece of armor?

        • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
          January 7, 2009 at 7:51 am | #

          It was not fixed, and he's not been able to repair the damage, so his defenses are limited.

      I knew that hushed casket line was familiar, just couldn't place it.

      • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
        January 9, 2009 at 4:23 am | #

        It was a toss-up between 'hushed casket' and 'bed'. The former seemed more poetic.

    I love it when RC talks to me, it just feels right. I really thoutht there was about to be a flashback actually. I bet turning off the power for a second will actually backfire and help Ferial in some way though.

    • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
      January 7, 2009 at 6:22 am | #

      Nope, no flashback. Just a bit of voiceover. :)

          ahh i see, they are filling in some of the information that is missing from him that makes him crazy. Thus more information makes normal in this case!

          If that is the case then the breaking the circuit would be an attempt to stop power to something. Something that needs constant voltage/amperage to work, my guess anyway. What that something is can only be speculated on at the moment.

    Your discomfort is an acceptable sacrifice. Great line, They're stopping Ferial doing something, that much we know… What though. I don't think it's to do with Eternal Refuge. I reckon it's something like a holding facility of the other cavalcade… Misleading…

    • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
      January 7, 2009 at 8:02 am | #

      I'm glad you like that line. I only rewrote it half a dozen times before I came up with something I liked. :)

      • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
        January 9, 2009 at 4:22 am | #

        Technically speaking, Archimedes doesn't spread. It's not the virus. The two things are currently interacting in some way as yet unknown, but they are distinct from one another.

    I love how you used two different maps for this, narrows and avalanche, at least that is what it looks like to me. I thought you had the itch to do something with Avalanche.

    • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
      January 7, 2009 at 8:30 am | #

      Nope, that's entirely on Narrows, mostly on the Blue Base side. :)

        Yea, narrows, blackout, avalanche, guardian, and standoff are all really good maps for this kind of stuff, the open edges make for a lot more possible camera angles, not to mention you can make a map look entirely different just by shooting up at or directly from the side of the scene. Great usage Jim!

        • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
          January 8, 2009 at 4:42 am | #

          Half the fun of capturing these screenshots is trying to do so in a way that makes each map look totally new and different. :)

    • Nevets_91

      Actually, it looks like it's all narrows.
      The later parts of the comic do look a little darker than usual.

    It sounds like to me what there momentarily cutting power from (assuming from the insane cavalcada's line) is some kind of shield, or some thing that needs to be fully charged to stay strong or solid.

    P.S. Can you give us a refresher on which Cavalcada are in him, and which ones he needs to find still. As well as which colour each one is.

    • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
      January 8, 2009 at 4:41 am | #

      Yeah, I'll try to update the Cast page with the Cavalcada known to date.

    Interesting, I seems Reclaimer is up to something.
    One thing I wonder is, how did he get here? I'd assume he used the todash gates, but you know what they say about assuming.
    Oh, and Is there a reason the red text is the only bland one?

    • Jim (TTL Demag0gue)
      January 7, 2009 at 8:09 am | #

      Yes, they're still using the Todash gates to get around. It's one of those things, though, that can now be assumed by the reader rather than shown each and every time.

      I put a 1-pixel stroke around the yellow and orange text because they were fading into the text boxes a little too much. The stroke makes them stand out a little better. The blue and red don't have that problem, so I left them alone.

    I really like Reclaimer's "voiceovers". It helps us understand more of the Reclaimer's personality and how he is feeling at the time.

    Another great comic as usual. Good work!
