The Reclaimer running toward an archway.

INTUITIVE PORTENT

Some new data you may wish to be aware of, Reclaimer. A radar blip.

RECLAIMER

Movement?

INTUITIVE PORTENT

So it would seem.

The Reclaimer walking through the archway.

RECLAIMER

Must be Bold. Where?

INTUITIVE PORTENT

A room about 30 yards from your position.

Closeup on the Reclaimer.

RECLAIMER

Tran, keep generating Smoke. I'm going to take Bold down, give us some breathing room.

The Reclaimer approaching an inertial dampening field, Bold visible on the other side.

RECLAIMER

This ends here, Bold. No more games.

BOLD

Oh, this was never a game, Reclaimer, not to me. There is too much at stake for games.

RECLAIMER

Altruism, Bold? Doesn't seem--

Energy flare exploding in front of the Reclaimer.

CAVALCADE

EMP burst!

RECLAIMER

It doesn't matter...

The Reclaimer firing his shotgun at Bold.

Boom!

RECLAIMER

...I win.

Crackle

    Seems like RC was different after that EMP burst. Didn't sound like himself. idk might just be me

      Sounds like him to me. Then again, Reclaimer could say anything and I'd probably think it sounded like him so actually you can ignore my post.

    Wow. That guy just got owned. Unless there's a twist somewhere, which there usually is. I can see how one might occur from that EMP; do EMPs affect Reclaimer's shields?

    • Jim Stitzel
      September 21, 2009 at 12:22 pm | #

      You know me, by now. There's always a twist.

          Here's my twist on it:
          The emp knocked out his shields and the radiation makes it so they can't recharge, so now reclaimer has to run like hell to escape, metroid style.

            That's exactly the twist I was thinkin of! But that one's too obvious. Jim wouldn't settle for such an easy setup.

    After double checking what Bold's helmet was I am not confident that it is reclaimer with the shotgun :)

    So I'm guessing the bouble shield is representing the EMP source and by the looks of things Bold is fading into the background… Almost like a mirage :(

      It all does seem slightly suspect…

    • Jim Stitzel
      September 21, 2009 at 12:22 pm | #

      What would Bold's helmet have to do with anything? (And FYI, Bold's helmet is the same now as it was before.) :)

        It is in-fact the Reclaimer with the shotgun. That is not Bold's helmet.

        On that matter, how did RC go from BR-Pistol, to BR-Shotty?

        • Jim Stitzel
          September 21, 2009 at 8:48 pm | #

          Recall a couple of comics back, when our hero helped himself to a weapons stash. :)

            Oh, no. I wasn't referring to that, it's just that the first few frames, he doesn't have it on his back, then all the sudden, it's there.

      How is this confusing? Sure there's gonna be a twist but that's definitely Reclaimer with the shotgun. Either Bold just got owned or he's gonna get back up somehow. (I'm pretty sure I'm right but if you guys are right I can never show my face here again) xD

        Don't worry you can still show your face here, NONE of us have EVER been right about plot twists and stuff (we have gotten close a few times though), so it's a near-inevitability.
        And also, Jim has a Masters in psychology, so he probably plots it to make us suspect something completely different, in fact, if we did get it right it would be pretty scary.

          Oh I know Jim well enough to know that I have to expect to (or not to) know more or less than everybody else thinks they know about the twists in Jim's comic, which even he may not know.
          I'll never shop showing my face here, don't you worry. I can get past Jim's mind games xD

    I wonder if it is of any significance that RC is holding his BR in the panel he tells Tran to keep generating smoke and in the next panel it is on "his" back.

    • Jim Stitzel
      September 21, 2009 at 12:21 pm | #

      Yeah, not really. It just means he switched weapons.

    my guess is The EMP took out tran so she cant track the guy that captured bold and Tag so hes now in a trap and in danger of getting the virus thats taking out viper.

    Am i close jim?????

    im smelling a bold hologram by the color that he seemed to turn, or at least bold was able to survive it in some way

    • Jim Stitzel
      September 21, 2009 at 8:50 pm | #

      If he turned colors, it was merely a product of the flare. I didn't do anything deliberate.

      Yeah, if he can clone himself why does he even need viper?

      Did I just find a plothole?

        I assume it takes large amounts of Ferial's energy to create a copy of himself. If you've ever read Harry Potter and understand the Horcruxes (or however you spell it) then the principle could be referred to in this situation. A Horcrux is basically where a part of your soul gets put into an object so that if your body dies you can actually live forever in this object. This takes massive amounts of energy.
        Hopefully I just filled in what could be seen as a 'plothole', I don't want Jim's reputation ruined in any way. xD

        • Jim Stitzel
          September 23, 2009 at 3:25 pm | #

          This is definitely as good a theory as any other. There are reasons why Ferial was only able to make two copies of himself, reasons which remain under cover of night—for now.

    Where'd the shotgun suddenly come from, he was holding a BR then suddenly he had a shotty.

    Just to clarify things about the BR Shotgun thing. I think he just swapped weapons. Yeah this might be in offense with the first image but he might have just picked the shotgun up in the following 30 yards. I mean, those are 30 YARDS.

    So RC just got hit by an EMP, while in close proximity to an infected Viper, and he thinks he's winning? NO. It'll take more that a shotty to the face to stop Bold, I'm guessing.

    So, when has everything turned out to CLICK in place, huh? In every cliche, the guy is suddenly stopped with a "too easy" effect… then, unsurprisingly, the hero's in a trap. Uh, the question, though, is… what's the trap, and that little fact of the EMP? What's that for? Uh oh…

    Sorry for the confusion I read more into it than I should have. I really like the Boom and Crackle. Have you used them before and I've just forgotten. I suspect this is the case.
