Comic for Monday, February 3rd, 2025
Comic!
To save you time… the two people in the first part of the comic are new characters. They are the same ones we partially saw last page, but aren’t previously occurring characters. I mention it because they are unnamed, and one of them I realize retrospectively sort of looks like another character, but that’s just due to art style.
Given how Mari addresses Kally, one may be lead to the assumption that she knew Kally when Kally was young. I would note that’s not the case though; we actually saw in Minus Years the first time Peter and Kally met, and we saw when Peter first left for Palindra in a flashback feature Mari previously. They’ve (clearly) met before, but it would have been after Minus Years. This shouldn’t be a surprise, given we’ve seen that Kally had met Miko before when Miko was still in Central.
I realize typing this that Kally and Naomi would have been speaking in Malsan here, while Mari would be speaking in Central. Since that might matter, I may update the text later with <>; just sort of forget when transcribing it here since its been awhile since it mattered.

Text corrections:
3rd panel: “connected *to* black site labs.” (word added)
4th panel: “if we do not give them *something* in the next five minutes” (instead of anything)
Updated, thanks!
Considering that Mari taught classes in Malsan she could’ve feasibly recognized the language and used it in consideration to Naomi. Wouldn’t have had to be speaking in Central.
Mari can speak Malsan, I was just noting that she wasn’t at the moment, and I should have marked it, but forgot (only realizing as I was writing the update), since I don’t typically mark languages unless there are two in the same scene.
Well, we’ve confirmed the gun actually fired and Mium was probably involved in probably multiple aspects of the event. And now we have a motive for Hansen to break protocol and attempt to execute Peter.
Mium likely pulled the same tricks he’s done before, disintegrating solid objects, getting defective cuffs labeled as functioning in the system, and getting them assigned specifically for issue for this operation.
Dunno. I sort of suspect maybe Peter survived. 😉
Marigold, a clever lady who on occasion has taken advice from Query/Mium is here to act like she’s close friends with Kally shortly(?) before her transfer to Palindra. She’s totally just here to get a couch to crash on, that’s all, definitely
