Robot was with them? Or is this Smitty pulling some serious strings to have Robot intercede when things became a little derailed?

What happens when Smitty's strings pull too far?

This is such a good chapter.

It makes much more sense that they brought robot with them on purpose.

Not really. Jeanne didn't move at all until he interceded.

It was more that she started moving when Annie started touching her stuff. Sword ghost felt that something was off and almost started attacking Annie, but the robot is a nice distraction.

My god, it's full of cat!


Until we see characters react we won't know, but my understanding is that they had Robot sit at a distance from the scene until something went wrong, at which point he'd jump in and keep Jeanne busy, as he is doing.

This has to be the most complicated sequences that has been in the comic to date. There are four different perspectives going on right now: Annie in Arrow Land, Kat and Annie on the boat, Robot and Jeanne in Blueland, and the same events happening from the outside perspective. And sometimes we are sidestepping into Flashback Land, which is a fifth perspective. And it all makes sense! Well done, Tom :golfclap:

I think the flesh ship chapter was a good preparation for this sort of sequence.

I like the contrast between angry Jean and expressionless murderghost. I don't think she can change expression in the real world.

It's also really sad that when holodecked into forgetting she's a murderghost she happily spends a pleasant afternoon chatting with a friend and doesn't hesitate to defend her against an evil murderbot :smith:

Now that you mention it that probably had just as many perspectives. The relatively rapid switches here make it really apparent how well it flows.

Jeanne hasn't cut Robot into confetti yet, so something is probably slowing her way down.

The fact that she thinks she's human, probably.

She still thinks she's human, thanks to Blue, and that's probably limiting her, I imagine.

Jeanne is going to cut Robot's muscle arm, and it will bleed, and that's going to mess up Jeanne's head real bad
