Hmm, I think a reader who can't be bothered reading the comments or transcripts would be a little bit disoriented. We're sorry if we're not all as smart as RC
Hmm, I feel like I missed the part about the Covenant Cruiser… That, and I'm still wondering what the hell a Vindictive Capacitor is… Maybe an Easter Egg/slight reveal?
Vindictive – Having or showing a strong or malevolent desire for revenge.
Capacitor – A device that stores electrostatic energy and then releases it; blocks DC and allows AC to pass through. Also referred to as a storage cell, a secondary cell, a condenser or an accumulator.
For something to be vindictive, then it's got to be able to think. And a capacitor obviously cannot. They can be used in timers and motion detectors. But I can't quite see what could be happening here. So…what if the capacitor isn't really a capacitor in the way of its true definition. What RC has been shown by this Barcode could be some AI that has this desire for revenge. But why capacitor? What has it got to do with a capacitor?
EDIT: Sorry. I think this place, the 'bubble', is the vindictive capacitor. But still. A capacitor for what? And why is it vindictive?
Is Reclaimer talking to the fire? Or am I missing something?
You're not missing anything.
It seems like we missed the part where RC asked "WTF IS THAT THING BURNING ON MY SKULL AND WHY IS IT TALKING TO ME???"
He's a smart guy. He figured it out almost immediately.

Are you going to run out of screenshots with Bungie Day fire anytime soon?
I've got enough for two more pages after this one.
And I guess in a few months you will have the flaming head in Reach as well, if there is to be more of this guy.
Yeah, we'll see. I'm honestly not yet sure what Barcode's long-term usefulness will be to this story.
why do i get the feeling this is gonna be a major point in the story, like a major reveal or something? keep it coming jim.
I have no idea why you'd get that feeling…
whistles innocently
Maybe Jim’s feeling guilty about the slow pace of the comic? ‘Cause I’m happy to forgive in return for reveals
Nope, no feelings of guilt because, hey, I have good life reasons for why I haven't been able to post more frequently.
What if I said "Please"?
Only if the way you say 'please' involves cold, hard cash.
Do you accept credit cards??
Absolutely.
Do you accept organ donations?
Only if they're human—and fresh.
Can they be frozen for about a week? And do you have any preference on limbs or appendages. Maybe an eye?
So… Barcode is part of the Ferial mind???
Patience, young grasshoppa.
God, please give me patience. GIVE IT TO ME RIGHT NOW!!!
I think you missed the point :p
And that, my friend, was the point.
I know
There has got to be a term for that (not sarcasm). If there's not, I vote we make one NOW.
It's called 'irony'.
Have they developed the cure for that yet?
Have they found a cure for that yet?
Feralmind*
Is it just me or are the Calvacada speech colors changing randomly?
It's not random. Trust me. (If you need verification, check the transcripts for the last couple of comics.)
But the Yellow voice never talks in weird riddles anymore. It now talks like it isn't crazy.
I do miss crazy man.
He added some much appreciated humour, but I believe it was because he was reunited, his crazy was sorta cancelled by the others sanity.
Just like Fight Club….You wanna know the first rule?
I don't really see how that's relevant…
Umm… have you watched fight club?
Actually, that one was lost on me too.
I was quoting crazy man!
You just broke it.
hmm, IA's text colour seems to have changed.
It used to be white, but the circumstances have changed sufficiently where that color and font are no longer required.
Well, it was originally white. The context has changed sufficiently to where that color and font are no longer necessary.
Hmm, I feel like I missed the part about the Covenant Cruiser… That, and I'm still wondering what the hell a Vindictive Capacitor is… Maybe an Easter Egg/slight reveal?
On both points, just wait and see. More revelations are yet to come.
I like revelations. Except for Revelations. That scares me
The recent 3 episodes of RvB Revelation have been consistently awful.
They have, but I was actually referring to the biblical term :p
It's actually just Revelation.
I know, I was trying to crack a joke.
Hmm…this Barcode fella really is 'turning up the heat'... :')
I think he's trying to kindle something.
I think we've extinguished all the fire puns at our disposal.
Don't be afraid to 'ash' for more ideas…
I can already see sparks flying…
I would like to add something, but I don't think I can top the sheer facepalmness of these puns. For some reason, that gets me very hot and bothered…
Come come now guys, we gotta give the puns a rest so Reclaimer can cool off. Though I do have a burning desire to carry on…
Sigh This is 'torch'ure.
Well it looks like these jokes*puts on sunglasses* are on fire..
YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
It seems Barcode has provided 'fuel' for a pun war.
The puns are too lame. Even for me! I can't take the heat!
Then it's time..puts on sunglasses.. to get out of the kitchen.
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!

ARRGH!!
Calm down dear, It's only a commercial.
Oh my. x.x
Us regulars down/up here at Reclaimer Comic should be able to handle long posts by now. Kick you're theory-reading neurones into gear.
I already fried them looking up Assassins creed and Half-Life lore. Sorry, come back when my body is done processing the dead cells.
Didn't you mention once that the Machine had a long-term usefulness. I believe you used the phrase "not a scratch character".
