GETTING A LITTLE PUSHY THERE, EXCELSIOR. I think she really wants to find those lost boys.

    I’m tempted to mangle a quote from Wall-E here…”Directive?” “Plant!, er I mean Zap!”

    As Reona’s putting the pieces together, everything is getting extra blue and glowy. I guess Excelsior just gets excited about finding lost ones, and slightly creepy, in that last panel. I’m trying to decide if it’s creepy or not. Could just be the vacant straight on blue glow stare.

  • No, it’s supposed to be a little unsettling.

    Remember this: http://www.zapcomic.com/2010/04/470-one-last-request/

  • it’s all coming together!

  • so does this mean that one day we’re going to find out what was so awful about Daedelus that would warrant the “destroy” message?

  • Me-me

    Ask, ask, ask, ask…

  • I don’t think the ship’s dangerous, I think the lost ones are (or at least a few) since Gunner is one of them.

  • Dang, Bayonetta has nothing on Excelsior’s hair.

  • sunphoenix

    Yeah. That IS Creepy. Gunner thinks there are no more Lost Ones..but he does not have a ship to know for certain that is the case… they may not be. Or perhaps their goals would not coincide with his… who knows what hidden directives Excelsior may have activated if they were ‘found’?

  • Hmm…the only problem is that Holly’s father specifically left a message saying that Daedelus was “dangerous” and should be destroyed. It doesn’t really make sense that he would have encountered any of the Lost Ones at that specific juncture in the story, but I could be wrong…

  • Next week’s page actually reveals a little more!

  • Do it! Ask me! I dare you!

  • damn a WHOLE week :( tries to think of ways to pass the time :/

  • You could always re-read the archives! ;)

    It better, because that’s a PRETTY HUGE smoking gun to leave lying about with explanation.

  • You will SO SOON.

    the 3rd and 6th panels keep making me think of the phrase “we’re all mad here”

    but in a good way…….if you can conceive of madness falling into the ‘good’ category.

    And the mome raaaths outgraaaaaabe.

    *fades away*

    Shit’s about to hit the fans I suppose. All of them. At the same time.

  • Stev

    Ok, now I get it (I think). Ignore my post on the last page, please; I’m ashamed of myself for that.

  • You were so mad at me! :(

  • js

    Her nudity shall save the universe.

  • Stev

    I wasn’t mad, I was just tired and a bit confused (and a little drunk haha). I lost some plot points a while back and forgot about the ship’s prime directive to find the lost ones and all that. Now what I don’t get is why she’s getting all creepy like this, as if asking to find Zap would do something a little more violent such as killing everything else (which is what I’m assuming is going down). BUT I’ll probably find that out next week. I also might not find out next week. Let’s wait and see. :P

  • Anonymous

    Probably within the next couple of weeks, in fact…

  • Anonymous

    To misquote…

    Reona: But I don’t want to go among mad people.
    Excelsior: Oh, you can’t help that. We’re all mad here.

  • Anonymous

    I find it faintly unsettling. Thing is…did Zap plan this one out?

  • Anonymous

    I doubt that he encountered any of them, but Daedelus had an additional directive…she shouldn’t look for the Lost Ones, per Zap.

    There’s something going on and I’m just waiting for the other shoe to drop…seems it’s about to, though… I’m sure our erstwhile authors and artists aren’t going to let us down on this… :-D

    I had the same impression… >:-D

  • TJCrow

    I Wanted to say that I just found your webcomic this week and I love the story and the artwork. I read the entire archives in just a few days after work.

  • Thank you so much!

  • OOOOOOOKKKKK………..what the heck is up wit that blue chicks hair?i mean really now it gets short then long then seems not to have a ending……plus she now looks stark raving mad!
    Also how can Reona say that Excelsior looks like the other ship when she looks like excelsior….or excelsior look like her!

  • safyrejet

    Uhm no, Reona said Excelsior was just like Daedalus. That doesn’t mean that Excelsior “looks” like Daedalus… I think this comparison between ships is going more along the lines of function, directive, potential danger. Looks never came up…And in many comments further up we’re discussing exactly how mad Excelsior looks and how it’s supposed to be that way. We’re all waiting to find out “what’s the heck is up”.

  • Einargizz

    Question:
    When did Reona hear about the Lost ones? I know that Deadelus told Robot about them and he then asked Excelsior but did Robot ever tell Reona about them?

  • Strider

    no no i mean Reona looks very much like Excelsior if you take a closer look at it mate. Am sure am not the only one to notice that?
    Abraham Benjamin

  • Strider

    See thing is we should be the ones saying thank you very much to both the writer and “artist” you guys do a splendid job on this Comic

  • It’s a known plot-point that Reona and the ship AIs look alike.

    What Reona means here is that Excelsior has the same functionality as the Daedelus. Remember Holly’s father said the Daedelus was dangerous.

  • Crestlinger

    ‘Zoom too close!’ *thunk ‘Just great now everything not her nose is a lost one. Ah well, time to get searching.

  • Speedy Marsh

    I detect a Stephen King twist coming…
    When you’re Christine, everyone looks like a speed bump.

    Sho’ ’nuff.
