Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Maybe she was an assassin...no, we don't know if she was complicit. I do, however, notice that Kaff and Colonel Tagon are both in uniform.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
WMG: Kaff Tagon's "girlfriend" is Krum, the woman currently running the op against the Gavs - and the woman who shot what's-her-face for "stealing" an escape pod seat.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Is it just me, or does she look in panel 5 a lot like Kathryn did originally?
Panel 4 not so much, but every time I look at panel 5 I keep seeing her.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Where is everyone getting the weaponized nanotech idea? Did I miss something here?

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Earlier Kaff Tagon said, he lived through a weaponized nanotech situation. It is a natural assumption, that we are about to hear the story.
In a war it doesn't matter who's right, only who's left.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Considering the cosmetic surgery options available in Schlockverse, any character could look like any other character of the same species if they put their mind to it.
However, my guess is that the girlfriend in question is dead, a nanobot suicide bomber who was part of the initial attack. That would explain how she could potentially be an unwitting pawn, if she gets infected without her knowledge, then at a certain point the nanites get activated, use her matter to self-replicate, then attack.

Whee, Schlockbot!
The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Just to add more fuel to the speculative fire... Krum and "mystery girl" have a lot of superficial similarities that someone on the Nightstar forums pointed out. Including the fact that Krum is just a bit taller than Emm, who was just about at shoulder height to Tagon, while "mystery girl" is just above shoulder height to Tagon."Mad Science" means never stopping to ask "What's the worst thing that could happen?"

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
I very much doubt Katherine would press him to tell a story she lived firsthand. If she WAS an assassin, it's not like she would forget the name of her target, especially since (Assuming the Mystery Girl was an assassin, not an unwitting pawn), that would mean she first seduced his son.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Mystery Girl is just a bit too tall to be Kath. She's also probably too young, as she's only 31, and Karl Tagon is 49 or older at the time of the story being told, since this was just before his promotion to General. At best, Mystery Girl is one of Kath's aunts, possibly her mother.

Plus, if Kath was an active assassin, she'd have made it through field training and would have known the response to the aunt amy uncle bob thing.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Is it just me, or is this going far too well so far. NSB's busy, but the toughs aren't taking any damage, while the attackers are. While I wouldn't expect a semi-renegade intelligence operation run by a semi-disgraced commander to be able to come up with a battleplate, I'd certainly expect a lot more than she's showing.

Re: Schlock Mercenary III: One million years of crowdsourced kitten videos
Well, the obvious answer to that is: how do you know this lot are anything to do with Krum? She already has her attack going inside Oisri base itself, I'm not sure a fleet of corvettes actually helps that in any way.

Well, the only thing we're sure of at the moment is that the neighborhood of Oisri is going downhill fast!

We know that Plan B was a frontal assault. What we don't know is if they've actually enacted it.
