The sword Cat Master is wielding reminds me of Prophet's war knife.
Given that he's named Cat Master that shouldn't surprise me I guess.

Since finding out that frozen pork buns come out pretty nice (as long as you arent buying crap) there's always a few in my freezer. :9

also lol if the guy replies 'Yeah a crazy tunnel ape keeps doing pullups on the shrine!'

How do you unfrozen a pork bun? Can you microwave, or do you need to steam in a rice cooker?

Edit: Assume for this purpose that I am not Royalty and cannot simply cut the cold away from the bun.

Also don't forget the drinking contest against a black devil which she legitimately won without having to cheat, then when said devil decided to hit the self-destruct button she stuffed it back into a mask and name-bound it or however that works.

"I'm drunk as hell and have no idea what I'm doing!" would make a good motto for a noble house.
Anyone want to translate it into latin so Allison can have heraldry?

I'd imagine that it IS how it works - given that Vladok had de-synced from the drinking game and was in a more vulnerable, chaotic state. It proposed a contest that it didn't expect to lose, rather than admit defeat and be bound by the rules of it's wager, it chose to break it's own rules and unbind itself, reverting to that crazy, chaotic elemental state. While super loving dangerous, doing so also left it vulnerable to binding again, and here we are.

It's the sheer amount that Allison consumed while remaining upright that's the nigh impossible bit.

But just charging at it holding a mask should not have worked. It's like trying to tie up an elephant using a silk thread and a toothpick - tying animals to posts is a thing, but not like this.
The mages were going to start this long complicated procedure starting with Drulle's Third Resonance and proceeding from there while having very little confidence of success, then Allison charged right past them and did it raw.

Both. They're saying that, but she's punching not listening.

Re Empty Palms, do angels have meridians? They don't have internal organs AFAIK.

The Sparri are a brand new addition that's going to be incorporated into the next version of the draft that comes out. Tom describes them as monster hunters and technoshamans who live on a planet with literal world serpent megafauna, and when they got reintroduced to Union society they found out that mechs were a thing and they were like "hell yeah now we can hunt even BIGGER monsters."

Do they incorporate monster parts into their mecha? Monster Hunter style?

I don't think so. Rogue angels haven't really been shy about flouting the law that we've seen. I think it's more likely that these are perfectly perfect law abiding and enforcing angels but that somehow it's this rote and inflexible adherence to the law that results in Vash getting off with little more than a slap on the wrist, and White Chain's going to be pissed as hell about this despite the fact that as an immutable being of law that doesn't crave change she should simply accept this situation and move on, duty done. Like these last couple of pages have been all about White Chain going "stop it, I'm not changing, angels don't change, we don't want change," but I have a feeling that deep down White Chain values justice more than she does law and watching Vash bounce back to his crime bossing ways on the Throne equivalent of a technicality is going to be what pushes her to really start breaking out of her self-imposed dogma and start being the change she wants to see in the world. Possibly starting with punching Vash so hard that his spirit vacates his body.

He is duly delivered for judgement. Unfortunately the court in question hasn't been in operation for 600 years and he just walks out through a shattered wall.

Yes, let's build a water displacer into the end of our rods. We can't have that pesky water slowing down the reaction during regular operation, can we? Oh, there will be a little spike when we insert the rods, but I'm sure it will be fine. And I suppose we'll have to keep the graphite cool, so we'll just put another water circuit on them. I'm sure the tight fit required for cooling won't slow down the only part of the reactor which is absolutely required to move into position with maximum speed and confidence.

Every time I think about the reeeealy old-fashioned reactors I get this chill up my spine and resolve to stay as far away as possible.

It still would have been ok if the operators hadn't done precisely 100% the wrong thing at every step of the way.

Abaddon may be going for a two-sides-of-the-same-coin type of allegory, that you need to be a selfish prick to be capital R royalty.
Especially considering that paragons of virtue in the lore stories rarely go unpunished for their purity.
