We've seen in other chapters that Robot has been waiting for an angel long before Kat was around. He might be projecting on her. Just a little.

Or he might not be projecting at all.

Oh there's no question that she is an angel to the robots. He just might be projecting onto her abilities and goals.

Yeah so far Robot has only really said stuff about what she's actually done or been able to do, like "raise the dead to life" or interpret their crazy robo-language or whatever.

Rereading that chapter up to this page, I know robot is a good guy but he really gives a cultist vibe sometimes. Even shadow's sad face makes the page more ominous, although it's mostly due to the sad events he just witnessed.

(also of course, you have to at least read the next page please)

Robot is a little unsettling at times, not because he's dangerous per se, but because true unshakeable capital F Faith like he has is rare and always a little bit unnerving.

I doubt his faith will ever be a problem personally.

Mindlessly clicking again and I think I found mt favourite Annie in the whole entire comic. http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=884 It's almost like a shot from the Peanuts. It's great to still keep finding these great things in older chapters.

EDIT:
Also shortly after there is this comic: http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=891 What does "Oh, how far you've come." mean? Does this mean the newly animated robot knows Robot? I know that he used to be a Seraph, but I didn't think that he actually met Diego, and for them to know eachother, this would have to be the case, because Diego created the robots in the Tomb.

"Free door!" and "She wants to thank him for the free door" are probably some of the greatest Tom Comments in the series, along with "You are welcome, Vegeta".

I've wanted to make an av going forth between them and for one frame switching out Winsbury with Vegeta, but never was able to figure out a way that wouldn't take forever working around the laser grid.

cow -> winsbury -> cow -> vegeta would let it loop, but the masking and word bubble removal seemed like a major pain.

It's pretty common here in Britain. It does seem to be uncommon around the Court, for whatever reason.

I feel even if mobiles were common in the Court, Annie is the least likely of any the students to carry hers with her, charged and on, at this point.

Also that's a pretty impersonal and easily ignorable way to try to get in touch with someone.

They'd have to build cell towers around the Court anyway, for cell phones to work there. I doubt the Court wants that.

Edit: Actually I'm trying to remember if there have been cell phones around or not; for some reason I'm thinking there has, so...

Right, I knew I saw one before, just couldn't place where. Hm, so, cells do work out at the Court, but aren't common. Maybe the school just has a rule against students having them? Can't remember if we've seen students with them or not, other than when Annie's talking on an adult's phone. Or it could just be a story thing.

You act as if that has ever stopped students from using cell phones. I think it may just be a story thing, where when they're not plot important they don't show up.

I've seen fun you people wouldn't believe.
Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

Time to sleep.
Maybe their parents don't think 14-year-olds (are they 14? 13?) need cellphones? I know I didn't get one until I had a car, and then only because they wanted me to check in all the time. Either way, yeah I agree, Annie would be the least likely to have one for a multitude of reasons (she'd probably need a replacement plan).
