Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Yeah, OK, it's unlikely that Albia did any explicit mind-meddling, but not completely impossible- she messed around in Gil's head, so she's not above such things.
And I went back and re-read Albia's "adding Agatha to the Garden" bit, and it's a little ambiguous as to whether she wants to officially add anyone beside Our Heroine; she comments that something needs to be "found" to keep her friends.. interested? distracted? dead? (again, very unlikely, but still..) While Tarvek and Gil are more definitely in the "annoying weed" category.
Heh, it's still not completely outside the realm of possibility that Albia has been deliberately staging everything we've seen in England, and she really is all-powerful there.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
She probably didn't stage anything in the lab (she'd lose too many perfectly good Sparks) and certainly not Vapdoodle's presence, though it is possible that she nudged a pending catastrophe that she has been keeping at bay in her spare time by way of..."BOOMBOOMBOOM"ing some papers and blackboards. And maybe the door to the monster cage while a scientist or two is in the same room.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
So then we would hypothetically have Teh Beast for the next book, Paris for the book after and then England would be three books from where we are now. It will probably take a while though.
Someone said that the Fogolios are planning on having Agatha go after England to Africa, Skifander and the Geister land, right? I don't know if that was accurate at all whatsoever, but that would put us at a bit less than halfway through the story.
Personally, I would guess going to probably Scandinavia and Skifander (to the pole to beat up Zola and then Skifander because that's a major plot point for Zeetha). Not sure where else.An explanation of why MitD being any larger than Huge is implausible.

And we're maybe halfway through the second half of the story. This whole thing may well be done in our lifetimes.

I am suddenly reminded that Albia herself is not actually there, and that the dome is rigged for self destruction.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
I kinda hope this winds up with at least one Lucrezia clone being killed (or captured by a still-empowered Albia.)
Is... I forget her name, but the girl who was posing as the Heterodyne during the Castle arc, old friend of Gil's, tried something at Paris but then got talked down by Grandma -- does she still have Lucrezia in her head, too?
If that, that currently leaves three that we know of. Anevka-clank, Agatha-head, and her. Right?
That would be cool, but I'm guessing they'll just revenants. Maybe Europe is more infested than we earlier had reason to believe.Last edited by JeenLeen; 2019-09-09 at 08:00 AM.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Zola, or the Queen of Dawn. Yeah, the scheme to take over Paris with revenants and geisters was hers, so she must have a Lucrezia. It's unknown what her relationship to Clankrezia is though, and whether those are the only three in existence. Lucrezia-in-Agatha was able to modify the machine to be used on anyone, so we could have hundreds of Lucrezias by now.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Based upon this and this entire section, I think Europa is pretty darn infested.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
I really hope this is the previously-seen clank-Lu, since that would tie off one loose end, and not introduce a new one.
It's possible those are Geisters inside those "British" uniforms.
It should be noted with Zola, while she's definitely still got a copy of Lu in her head, we don't know which personality is actually in charge...Last edited by geoduck; 2019-09-09 at 09:10 AM.

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Worse than that - pretty much everyone is already dead. There's no particular reason to preserve the dome at this point but protecting the Heterodyne and her entourage. If she can secure them, or at least buy them a plausible escape route, she can bring down the dome pretty much guilt free.
I don't think this is Clank-Lu, by which I mean Anevka's body with a new head. I think this is one version of the Muse of Time. It could be that Anevka was the first Muse of Time, of course - the best (and worst) part about time travel is that cause does not have to precede effect.Spoiler: My inventory:

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Indications are that the "Summoned Lu's" are from after she was the Muse of Time since Agatha knew how to free the trapped one in the lab.
I really don't think Albia is planning to take down the dome anytime soon. She REALLY wants a copy of Lu to interrogate.Member of the Giants in the Playground Forum Chapter for the Movement to Reunite Gondwana!

Re: Girl Genius XXVI: Madness is the best possible response
Going off the interview linked above, we're probably about 40% done (assuming everything gets equal time). Interview said Paris (done), England (in progress), then Africa, Skifander and the City of Silver Light. Given that the circus is supposed to be in England, I'm hoping at least Embi goes along with them on the trip to Africa.
