So is that a nobody, or...?

It's Annie's father, his face broken by Zimmy's mighty etherfist.

Looks to me like a nobody with Jack's clothes and hair. (Zimmy did say - on the page after the one I linked - that sometimes real people don't have faces either, though that might not have been literal.)

Whoa hey, let's not make accusations on the poor guy. Identities shouldn't be assumed during a Zimmy chapter.

Also, Microsat discussion: Microsat was designed as a payload delivery satellite. Don assumes it is simply relaying supplies to Anthony, and as he helped build it, I imagine he'd know if Anthony could be up there.

Did Zimmy etherpunch Tony so hard she flew out of her own body? I don't think this is turning out to be a very good idea. :ohdear:

I think so yeah. Gamma keeps Zimmy safe and stable, but this also means she can't work her ether magic if Gamma's around.

The angles on Zimmy and the general pacing/tone of this update have triggered my latent Sadako terror. Great.

e: Neuroses aside, it's worth noting that this is by far the most enthralled I've been with a webcomic. Amazing work, Tom.

I think Jack's capable of getting 'stuck' in the ether in a similar manner to Zimmy, which may have been referenced in the chapter with the power station.

So maybe Zimmy's unable to see the pidgeon on top of Kat because she's currently not in her 'own' ether world anymore, but in Jack's. And seeing as Gamma touched Jack's face in the power station chapter, maybe he's one of those people who doesn't have a face.
