      lol not to act like a smart-ass, but i had guessed this fact back when you had Ferial say "we will be one again" or the likes when he was staring at the body :P When his clone showed up it kinda changed things, but im not suprised.

      But great comic :D MOAR Pl0x :)

    I wonder if I'm the only one that didn't forget about this flood form? I remember either making speculations or thinking up speculations as to what this was. And Ferial was one of my ideas, along with the first flood form or some kind of puppet master in suspension. I kinda ruled out Ferial because we didn't know about him having a previous form at the time but I almost knew it!
    Lol love the plot twist. :)

  14. Jim Stitzel
    January 25, 2010 at 5:53 pm | #

    Fun part of it is—go back and re-read #79 and #111 and see what Ferial said at that time, and you'll see how far back this particular thread goes. :)

      Wow, I feel like I actually understand them now, yet Im almost certain I dont :D Joking aside, so Ferial is trying to get his original body restored, right? And his goal might becoming clearer too…

      Jim fails for continuity… Didn't you know that Pure Tank Forms don't need a host? They develop from the flood matter made by the Gravemind.

      But for the purpose of this story I suppose it's all you can really use :p And I have heard of artistic license :p

    Hmmm, what could you do with an infected Ferial body…..I mean it's not actually him, so killing it wouldn't do anything…....the memorys would have been destroyed by the flood so there's no use in doing that…........ummm…......use the original virus to cure the flood?

      January 26, 2010 at 2:21 am | #

      Interesting assumptions. But remember, he wasn't fully infected, so there may still be something left of the real Ferial in there.

      And that would be bad.

        The comics come out when I get them done. I know you'll probably find this appalling, but Reclaimer is not all that I do. Sometimes life stuff gets in the way of hitting my publication dates exactly on time. :)

          No sorry Jim, that must have come out wrong. My intended message was something along the lines of "has the RC schedule changed, or is it just production issues??"

          Sorry it sounded a bit naggy… Well more than usual anyway ;)

        What he said :D

        You said Ferial had transferred himself into the Citadel shatterbox as a way to cheat death because he got infected…

        As I said before though, there isn't such thing as "partially infected". It happens so fast that one second you're healthy, the next you've been floodified…

            Sheesh, that's great. I wonder how much else you've forgotten??

            Just wondering, are we going to see more about RC and Ferial's history? I went back and read a few earlier comics and it mentions that these two have a history, which is why RC didn't just kill him at the start. Or has that already been explained as much as it's going to???

          • Jim Stitzel
            January 28, 2010 at 1:59 pm | #

            Honestly, I'm not sure at this point. It was backstory that I had originally intended to work into this arc at some point, but I'm not sure how much of it is important now. The current arc has kind of taken on a mind of its own, and the history between the Reclaimer and Ferial isn't as important as it once was.

            Short answer—we might, but don't hold your breath waiting on it. We'll just wait and see how things develop.

      But we still need to find out what Eternal Refuge really is, or at least where it is… I don't think he wants to return to his body, but become one as part of the ER shatterbox…
