    You make them sound like they're lapdogs or something, and I think General Goomblast at the very least would take issue with you on that front! I think Jaegers definitely have their own distinct personalities, but consider this for a minute; what sort of person freely chooses to drink a draught that they know will mutate them in various interesting ways and which will see them fighting wars until they die--which might be the best part of forever, if they're any good?

    Answer: somebody who enjoys fighting. All the Jaegers have a delight in fighting opponents, and the stronger the opponent, the more they enjoy it. As Calemyr points out, this seems funny when you're on the same side as the Jaegers. To the people they're fighting, not so much--just ask the guys in that airship that General Khrizhan blew up! (You might need to wait until a Spark puts them back together first, though ).

    So Queens are the female equivalent of Warriors? Warriors being neuter, and Slavers being male?

    Hmm... by that logic, if you neutered a Slaver, it would be a mini-Warrior. Much less threatening, but I can understand neutering a Queen.

    Long time veterans tend to become rather sanguine about their own deaths because they've seen so much death, particularly if they've lived through numerous 'survived only by chance' situations, such as artillery barrages.

    Jorgi's been a soldier for a long, long time and has probably seen his fair share of the GG's universe equivalent of artillery barrages. He's judged that because he's crippled, he's unlikely to make it out alive and rather than spend his last few moments in agony failing to crawl to safety, he's decided to spend it in relative comfort.

    As you've said, Jorgi doesn't think Tarvek can carry everybody out to safety, so he's decided to stay behind so that Tarvek and the weasel wrangler can escape.
    The officer part comes into it as Jorgi both has the presence of mind and the discipline to make that decision (he's probably had to order fellow Jaegers to their deaths before) and not spend his last moments grovelling for Tarvek to carry him out as well.

    The Foglio's are particulartly sadistic towards Tarvek lately, but he's doing quite well and earning LOTS of "good karma" points for heroism and no selfishness.

    OK, we've got a charging, possibly mutant Hive Queen versus a winded, possibly exhausted Tarvek armed only with a wooden sword.

    Poor Elizabeth. She doesn't have a prayer...

    Where the heck are the Generals? Here's a big, fun monster, why are they not leaping from windows to start fighting her?

    (You know, Tarvek's command WOULD work, if Agatha gave it. Maybe she's about to show up... in her new Warrior Princess armor...)

    They probably got left behind--Tarvek has been running pretty rapidly and the Generals never looked like they were built for speed!

    They're probably just waiting for the right moment to charge in and rescue Tarvek. They know he's a potential suitor for Agatha, so in order to make things interesting, they need to make his heroic exploits more, well heroic.

    They'll probably let it go on for a few rounds, then arrange for a smoke screen and take care of the queenElizabeth on the quiet, so that Tarvek's reputation can come out untarnished.

    Given that Agatha's probably not going to be one of the fun ones, they're perhaps thinking they can turn her into one by giving her multiple suitors to deal with.

    I dunno, she is not nearly as goody-goody as her father and uncle, so she might turn out kinda fun.

    My suspicion is that "Battle Armour Agatha(tm)"* Is about to appear an lay the smack-down on the hive-queen, flanked by Momma/General Gikka, and Zeetha. We've established that all this is probably taking place near if not next to the museum where Agatha is getting suited up. Tarvek has had a good couple seconds of hollering and making an awful ruckus to draw her attention. Chances are good that our girl is now all laced in and ready to save at least one of her imperiled princes. All this without any loss of face for Tarvek who gets FULL hero-points for this encounter.

    *-with authentic sparking action!

    Nah, it's gonna be Othar and/or Wilhelm. This is definitely a Big Damn Hero moment, and Tarvek needs someone to take all the credit for his heroic activities

    The giant weasel got impaled on a beam or somesuch. It's not going to be killing anything.

    He's talking about the giant weasel the Jaegers were fighting, which is definitely not the same as the one that got killed by the beam (that one was much smaller, for a start).

    Definitely not either of them, since whoever is yelling at him is deep in Ze Medness Plez.

    Agatha or Gil, most likely. This may be the longest we've gone without having Agatha onscreen...she seems due to show up again.

    Gil is unlikely. He does have a big gun like that, but when we last saw him he was on Castle Wulfenbach captured by Klaus. Even if he somehow escaped, He couldn't have arrived there in such a short time. Remember, Tarvek landed using the Falling Machine, and I don't think Gil has another one. So if he escapes, he has to use an airship which is much slower than that, and probably can't land easily in the middle of the town.

    Through the whole story we've been watching the evolution of our Heroine (Gil and Tarvek too). We've watched her progress from helpless waif to self-reliant girl, to heroine. She's taken possession of her fate, her abilities, her own mind, her castle, and her town. Now I think (with a little coaching) she's taken on the full mantle of her identity. The professors have an amazing sense of dramatic build-up. Heck we might now cut over to Gil, and watch him break himself loose in time to arrive and witness this moment.

    I could be TOTALLY off base here, but I suspect the next time we see Agatha we will be seeing Agatha "THE HETERODINE". (Sound of a thousand Jaegers squeeing like fan-girls at a Bieber concert)


    .... And I am soooo flipping excited.

    I honestly am unsure as to what sort of outfit she might be wearing. I mean, she isnt going to be wearing some giant metallic spike covered monstrosity like sauron reborn. I really dont see her wearing some ultra tight and skimpy mad dominatrix style outfit, (well I do, but only in my day dreams) I think my money is on the KISS system. She will come out in fairly standard outfit, with maybe a heterodyne symbol breastplate. MAYBE a helmet of some sort, but im thinking no.

    I too think that is likely Agatha, and the Foglios are setting it up for a one page spread of her latest outfit (which, since Zeetha was there to help, and these is the Foglios, I'm sure will make her breasts bigger). But that sounded very much like Violetta, I have to say. She does get quite ticked off when Tarvek comes close to killing himself, since she's the one that wants the honor (although maybe not anymore).
