466 | Daedelus

And then Zap! turned into a shoujo manga, with a plethora of sparkly magical girls.

    The new site is looking good. Very interesting to see all these ship AI's coming to "life"!
  • Thatoneguy456
    That new backround on the site reminds me of somthing off of Fringe.
  • I dont know for sure, but I know Calle really likes Fringe. Who knows...

    I think it looks like a Green Space Jelly Fish... mortal enemy of the Space Squid
  • Thatoneguy456
    Fringe is a pretty good show. As for the Green Space Jelly Fish the name alone scares me.
  • DeathOfRats
    I vote for ink in water, with a green filter. Although it might be an X-rayed mite.
  • Flamus
    Great work on the comic and the new site Calle. You and Chris have always done excellent work. Keep it up!
  • tyler78250
    i like the site, i like the comic.
    were hooly's eyes that blue? they really stand out this time
  • kyithios
    Has anyone else noticed that "Daedalus" is spelled wrong? I mean, this may be intentional, but for some reason my brain wants to nit-pick. This isn't more referential to the Stargate ship Daedalus, but does work this way. There's also a stronger connection since it's still an AI, the Daedalus AI in Deus Ex, which was a very fantastic game. Nice website. Need to update my bookmark.
  • I still want to kill Maggie Chow. :(
  • Your brain can nit-pick all it wants. That's how we're spelling it. :)

    You'll also need to update your rss feed, if you use rss. Looks like we're on schedule for a full launch next Monday. Hope nothing breaks.
  • kyithios
    I don't use the RSS. I just check back every Monday. You're pretty consistent, and yes, my brain can nit-pick all it wants. I still think this has more relation to the AI in Deus Ex, considering the namesakes and the fact that they're AI.
  • Mikhoen
    Why are all the ships women (so far)? Will there be any men? Is it because Zap designed them and he doesn't flow that way? Just curious.
  • oakleysanders
    Don't you remember his "No Dudes" policy?
  • Mikhoen
    Oops, forgot! Hehe!
  • Nice new site... tech support is still nakey pink I see...
  • JamesonGrey
    You gotta admit, it makes computer malfunctions much funner.
  • Oh I'd crash my PC daily for this fun. :D
  • JamesonGrey
    Me too man, me too.
    "Hey, I broke it again, can you help me?"
    "Just do it yourself, you've watched me do it ten times before!"
    "D'aww"

    I wonder what the Deadelus personnality will be like (Exelscior was Happy-go-luck and a bit childish)
  • mirrim
    Neat! Is Ms. Sparkly #2's name at all inspired by the Stargate ship Daedalus? Cause that would be geektastic. ; )

    I agree with TalonofElysia on both counts. Zap finding the ship makes sense. Unless he and Gunner are revealed to be really really old--which is a whole other can of worms.
  • DeathOfRats
    Hm. Perhaps Excelsior assisted Zap in altering the ship- and other ancient, alien gadgets- for human use (#422, panel 3). Maybe Zap did not actually invent any of the "toys" Gunner believes him to (e.g. the crown), but adapted an older technology.

    And some people think they have recognized Zap on the underwater carvings in the temple entrance (#457, last panel). So I guess he really could be very old. On the other hand, I could be very wrong.
  • Vikingofflame
    I think Zap may be an alien, did you notice his slitted eyes during that dream sequence several comics ago
  • Vikingofflame
    that was comics 421-424
  • Einargizz
    So... is Daedelus a part of this place that they're raiding or is she actually a hidden program inside robot?
  • TalonofElysia
    In my opinion, I think she's the ship they came to find. She might be wired up to the temple's mainframe, and moves through the entire network freely. Heck, the temple -itself- might be the ship.. and Deadalus is like a 'mothership' with Excelsior being a scout craft or something.
  • JamesonGrey
    That ... makes perfect sense.
    So, the next question is, what is with Zap's obsession with naked chicks with long hair, and a distinct glow? After all, his ships seem to be filled with them
  • northsteve
    If you had a starship with an AI, wouldn't YOU have it be a holographic glowing naked chick?
  • JamesonGrey
    Never thought of it like that.
    Yeah, I probably would. =D
  • Chris Brady
    Well, here's something. A lot of people prefer dealing with women for various reasons, and maybe the rest of this galaxy is based the same way. Maybe they find that dealing with humanoid females are more acceptable in some way, so most AI programs are female in nature.
  • northsteve
    User friendly, so to speak.
    ...
    giggidy.
  • TalonofElysia
    How do we know Zap -built- them, and not found them?

    I know it was implied in that waking dream sequence a couple of issues back, but even then, Zap could have just been working on Excelsior's systems to adapt some outside tech to her... or her to outside tech. We'll find out eventually, but that's just my two pence on the matter.
  • JamesonGrey
    I love Holly's eyes in panel 2. They're just so ... iunno. Pretty!
  • Tintzone
    Woo!
    More mysterious glowy girls!

    I like the new site and the background.
    *pokes billy picture in corner*
  • Daedelus is remarkably reminiscent of Excelsior. "Sisters", perhaps?

    (Also, my spellchecker insists it should be spelled Daedalus; but I like the spelling change for that little touch of added character ... )

    ;)
  • Spelling. When in doubt, say it adds uniquity. :P
  • Tresk
    Daedelus.. Not your normal female name.. Does this mean we will be seeing an Icarus as well?
  • Chris Brady
    I was thinking the same thing! Or maybe a Prometheus.
  • The fact that it ends in -us at all (as opposed to -e or -a) implies that it isn't a female name.

    Mind you, I'm really hoping there's about to be a Deus Ex reference here, in which case hopefully we'll see both an Icarus /and/ a Helios! :D
