    Kat responding to, "You're the angel!" with, "Sure, dude," cracks me up. Good to see that she's not getting a swelled head over the whole robot messiah thing.

    Not denying it, though.

    I'm almost hoping that this robot is actually talking about his time working in the wood-shop which they are on the roof of.

    That's a pretty cute little robot. Maybe a little too cute.

    I wouldn't call him cute. He reminds me of a really stocky Pintsize, and that takes away any possible cute-ness he could have. At least for me.

    Also, gotta love Rey's expression in panel 5. He's been surprised before, but not that much.

    Pintsize would be cute if he weren't... Pintsize.

    So they've got confirmation of Shadow's story, and know Robot was captured; but where do they go from here? Unless Chubby-bot knows where the Seraph models hang out, or Kat can track Robot's body, this could be a problem...

    It looks like Rey is still keeping a close eye on Quartsize. He really got a scare off that guy I guess.

    If the trap is so obvious you can spot it a mile out, does it still qualify as a trap?
    78% of all DM's start their first campaign in a tavern. If you're among the 22% who didn't, copy and paste this into your signature and tell us where you DID begin.
    The docks of a small fishing village. One of the character's nearly drown trying to catch a fish barehanded.

    Yes. Just a very poorly concealed trap.

    The thing is, who'd be wanting to trap Kat? Quite obviously the Seraphs knew someone - almost certainly Kat and Annie - would be coming and are making it easy for them to follow. Why, I have to wonder...

    I don't know, I think it might not be a trap. I mean, he's an eyewitness robot. Should a robot deliberately impair another from performing his duty, by not letting him witness all relevant information?

    Isn't "Walking into a trap when fully realizing it is a trap" somewhere in the protagonist's job description? Then it is up to protagonist to either fake being being surprised to reassure the antagonist that he has outsmarted our hero, or to announce that trap is obvious and hero walked into it anyway because he is so superior to the villain that he can afford to take the risk.

    This is pretty much what I hope to be true - court robots always spill their guts in front of eyewitness robots, because that's what they're for.

    Yeah exactly! What's the point of having a robot whose entire job its to watch things happen and then tell someone who can do something about it of you don't let them watch the critical bits?

    Remember, Annie once got through a door by wearing a pair of fake antenna, and telling the door robot that "Of course I am a robot, because I say I am a robot, and robots never lie" (or something to that effect). Court Robots are not well versed in the arts of secrecy and subterfuge.

    Also, this. Your theory appears to be correct. Although it could still be a trap.

    Oh yes, obviously not a trap. (eye roll)

    Why is Robot on his knees? Normally prisoners do that when they're exhausted or beaten down, but Robot's a robot; would that apply to him?

    To what extent is Robot still a court robot? If he still has any of his original programming, I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it's just Prisoner Subroutine 35-A: Slump helplessly. Prisoner Subroutine 35-B is "Snap out of it and try to warn your rescuers that it's a trap, but be too late."

    Well... He started out as a malfunctioning Court robot. Then he was given an arm that was a tree, and puppeted by a shadow. Then he was put into two non-Court bodies (the camera-and-speaker rig and the mouse)Then his chip was put in an old model that apparently had some programming hardcoded. Then another non-Court body.


    So how much of the cliche is hardwired instead of programmed?

    Well, if it comes to worst, Annie can probably melt them to slag by now. But I'm sure she'd prefer to avoid that.
