Wide panel of the Reclaimer walking down a blue-lit corridor.
RECLAIMER
Shatterbox. That's the basic core for a Forerunner AI, isn't it?
CAVALCADE
That is correct, Reclaimer.
CAVALCADE
And this one no longer functions properly.
RECLAIMER
Is that why the neural patterns you're reading here seem to be 'stupider' than you expected?
Low-to-high shot of the Reclaimer moving into a yellow-lit corridor.
CAVALCADE
That would be a more-or-less accurate assessment, yes.
RECLAIMER
So why'd it break?
CAVALCADE
We believe it to have been deliberate.
CAVALCADE
It would seem that the departing intelligence sabotaged the facility in order to prevent others from determining its purpose in being here.
CAVALCADE
It appears to have been an unnecessary, and ultimately useless, precaution.
Side view of the Reclaimer running down the hallway.
RECLAIMER
How so?
CAVALCADE
We are the first beings, aside from Viper, to have been here since it left.
CAVALCADE
Nevertheless, we know which intelligence it was that did this. There is only one who has such little regard for shatterboxes.
RECLAIMER
And that would be...?
CAVALCADE
Why, Ferial, of course.

Great comic as always, however, I find that the blue text is slightly too dark, and hard to read. Maybe it's just me, I dunno.
Unfortunately, it depends on the computer screen. Some seem to be better than others with that particular color.
"Its NEVER what you think." why do you tease us so jim?:p soim guessing its not ferials shatterbox then, but probably one he occupied at onme point. if this has been mentioned before i forget.
It's always more than you think.
so rc must be in the universe then as you cant get bigger or do your shatterboxes go beyond the laws of the universe:p
but never what we think
Well, rarely, at least.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking sir?
Well if you're think "Holy Shit holy Shit I almost got impaled by a swordfish" then yes, I suppose you are thinking what I'm thinking.
Cue Fireflies by Owl City.
why
Because unlike switchfoot, Owl city has more than one good song.
I don't much care for Owl City. In point of fact, I don't care for most of the music that you can find on the radio dial.
Im sorry but Owl City is a rip off of the Postal Service
love the newest addition, can't wait for more _
Glad you like!

Nice! So we already knew Ferial was an AI, but this tells us…. Um exactly nothing :p But if he has broken his shatterbox, why is he looking for Eternal refuge? Obviously there has to be a major advantage to having ER than this one he's destroyed. So what contains Ferial now? He created his body/ies to house partial consciousnesses, but does he currently have a shatterbox?
You already 'knew' that, huh? I'm looking forward to blowing what you 'know' right out if the water.
I can't wait to see his reaction
FERIAL IS AN AI!
Seriously dooby… sinse when?
...ferial is precurssor…. not an AI…
I think dooby messed when he heard the Calvacade describe him as an "Intelligence". I was just expressing that dramatically.
An Intelligence doesn't mean it's artificial.
i know, I was agreeing with you
p.s. JIM WHERE IS THE COMIC
Ferial's Shatterbox? That spells trouble for RC. I smell a long awaited reunion on the horizon…
I just means that ferial was the one to destroy it. It's not his shatterbox.
I think you need to go back and re-read some things.
another great comic Jim
Oh…
PPS: ARRGGGHH!!!
