Q: What is this "Sneaky Gate" y'alls go on about?
Sneaky gate: Named from this hidden gate in comic, it has become a name for viewing new comics early. Remember, if you're going to discuss the new comic, put it in spoiler boxes until the release time (12am EST).
Sneaky Gate 101:
- Right click the comic image.
- Select view image or copy paste the image location into the address bar.
- Modify the date to be the day you're trying to look at. (ex. 20120111 -> 20120113)
- Go to the modified url.
- Be disappointed when there's no early comic to read.
- Alternately, enjoy the comic!

I bet Klaus designed the overlay to rush blood to Gil's forehead whenever he takes over, just so that it looks like he has dramatic underlighting.

I mean, they have step 1. Identifying the infected. Theoretically they should be able to trace it back through there to find how it works and from there work on stopping it from doing that.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
I don't see why not. Of course, to do it the way I'm thinking would mean you have to find and capture a live slaver engine to study under controlled circumstances without it spewing out the wasps to infect anyone around. But that's what Jagers are for. If anyone can capture an engine, it is them. And now that I think about it, have we had any recorded cases of Jagers getting wasped? I can't recall any at least.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out dosing wasp-victims with Dyne water cures them, or at least Dyne water gets used as part of a cure. (Water that normal Mechanicsburgers drink, not the insta-deadly stuff under the Castle.)

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Slaver wasps dont affect Jagers.

So if this changes, it would require a specially developed wasp.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Exactly, they have those weasels that can sense revenants even when they look totally normal. That means they can detect something changed on them. It should be possible to them examine one of these revenants with everything from standard tests to full scale vivisection to determine exactly what the slaver wasps DO to enslave them and from there come up with a way to block it. A vaccine, or a cure, something. Heck, an energy field that blocks the mind control effect over a city, whatever. What one scientist creates, another can defeat.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
I believe it was stated at some point that the wasps are a vector for some sort of virus. At any rate, Tarvek's already invented an innoculation and Gil seems to have developed it into a full-blown cure (if it wasn't one already), so it's really just a case of distributing it.

It's the slaver wasp they detect.

They also ping on the warrior variant, as we see later in the second arc.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
There's nothing as bad as parents interfering in your love life, is there? I suppose this is another thing sparks overdo in ways that are a hundred times crazier than anything normal people could dream of.
Oh, wait, there's another terrifying thing about being a Heterodyne. You come from generations of sparks who've raised messing with their kids to an art form.
Although, being in your son's head and interrupting his conversation to tell the woman he was talking to you want her to marry him and get rid of the competition is worth a series of horror movies all its own.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
When we finally meet Klaus's wife, it will be interesting to see just how "likeable" she is.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
It's interesting that, when the Klaus gestalt is in control, Gil isn't aware of what he's saying or doing, but the reverse is definitely not true--Klaus is fully aware of what happened when Gil was in Albia's sanctuary. Does Lucrezia in Agatha work the same way? I can't remember.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
Lucrezia didn't work that way at first when she kept switching with Agatha and Tarvek pretended to help both, neither could remember what the other was up to. Since Agatha has the locket it seems like Lu has gained some abitilty to percieve her surroundings as shown with the incident in Van rijn's lab.
Also a gestalt is a merger of several entities, so the Klaus overlay is not one.Forum Wisdom

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
I like Trelawney's comeback to Klaus.
I'm getting more and more intrigued about Klaus's wife and I hope we get sufficient pages to the whole reveal/reunion when it happens.
Also damnit Klaus don't you know the rules if you're against Gil marrying Agatha the probability of it happening approaches 100%.

Re: Girl Genius XXV: It needs work! BUT THE CONCEPT IS SOUND!
I think Klaus is more making a self-deprecating joke "Gil must have got his likability from his mother because he sure as heck didn't get it from me" than specifically calling Queen ... do we know her name? I'll just call her The Queen of Skif ... than specifically calling The Queen of Skif likable.
