Linky. Is that a spotlight on Robot in panels 2 and 4? Where does that spotlight come from all in a sudden? Is that "Hooooooh" like the murmur of an audience or is it some kind of siren? Looks like putting that CPU in S1 powered up a whole lot more than only S1.

The "spotlight" is also in panel 5 and 6. Reminds me of Mort's aura.

The "Jeanne being the girl with a sword" theory seems more plausible right now.
Any idea about the HOOOOOH noise on the last panel? My guess is that is from the door and from Robot's stance whatever is behind it isn't going to be friendly.

Could Jeanne be the girl from the photograph? Who could have been killed by the girl with the sword (we seem to have a lot of unidentified girls running about), or, alternatively, be Sword Girl. Though Sword Girl's face seems a lot narrower than Photograph Girl's, so unless PG died quite a while after the photograph was taken and her face in general matured, she wouldn't look right.
Jeanne is a French name. Does this mean that Gunnerkrigg Court takes foreign students, or was she just a foreign girl who happened to be in England, like Gamma? Or, maybe her parents just named her Frenchfully for fun.

Hmm, there seems to be some extra data stored in that body. Probably his main data. Or at least S1's.
So "Jeanne!" is no accident but someone who died in the past. The Ghost Lady appears more and more plausible the longer I think about it. Still I doubt it's that simple.
OK, how is this: The big door with the D leads to Annan Waters?
etc.

I have a million things to say about this, but all I can really articulate is that the author comment make me laugh semi hysterically.
Mystery is not solved at all, Tom. NOT AT ALL.

I know! I'm like "That's not a solve! Tom you madman! Stop messing with my head"  He did it at the end of 'Dobranoc, Gamma' too. It's like he enjoys watching us flail about.  Still, Robots with a residual guilt complex? Jeanne must have been very important to them. |

Jeanne was one of the creators of the robots? That would certainly be "important" to them.

Woah, a robot with survivor's guilt.

Not just survivor's guilt. I don't know if the robots at the Court are programmed according to Asimov's Laws of Robotics or not, but if they are - one of those laws is that a robot may not, by inaction, allow a human to come to harm. And S1 cries "We did nothing!" Guilt over not carrying out one's duty.

At least Robot seems to sentient, have emotions and a free will. Asimov's Laws aren't really combatible to that. |

Things are getting interesting now!
For some reason, I think it's more likely that Jeanne is the girl in the photo or a new character, rather than the Sword Girl. I get the feeling that the sword girl was never human, whereas this Jeanne person seems to have been.

I'm think the "hoooh" is more like some kind of alarm. Perhaps the robots were locked down there for a reason...

I'm still voting that Jeanne is Mystery Photo Girl. ;D
EDIT: and I have no opinion about the 'HOOOOH' as of yet.

Reading it again, that last line of Robot is REALLY ominous. It has WEIGHT.

After Tom said that Jones is NOT the girl from the photo (but if we look to the photo, Jones looks like she could be): Jeanne - creator of the robots and girl from the photo - died from some reason Jones - her androidic replacement. Too wild? |

Has implanting Robot's brain into a new body jogged his memory?

Too wild? You theory is awesome and you should feel awesome. It makes a lot of sense. |

I get the feeling that the sword girl was never human, whereas this Jeanne person seems to have been. If the girl with the sword is a ghost, then she would have to have been human at some point, simply because that's what ghosts are. |

Agree with todd. AND I'm betting that Jeanne is sword girl. Why would you rename an exact android double of something a different name?
Bobonfire, I think you're actually on to something. If the chip is his brain, it doesn't seem like it could receive NEW things from going into another body, so my guess is that S1 unlocked things that were perhaps disallowed or wiped from S13.

Rather than an alarm, "HOOOOOOH" might be howling. And as someone in the shoutbox pointed out, we haven't seen Reynardine since this page. |

maybe this is just me but I thought of the hooooh as a whoosh like pressurized air being released.

I'm not sure why everyone's mind automatically jumps to the white lady or the girl in the picture. It could be quite some time before we find out the answer to their identities, and the automatic assumption that every new female is one/both of them isstarting to get a little silly. Jeanne could be anyone. She could be the creator of the robots, she could be someone they were programmed to protect, she could be, y'know, most anything.
Things we know about Jeanne:
She is dead.
She was known by this/these robot/s.
Now, what I'm wondering about is Anja. Obviously she knew these robots were down here, and it upset her. I can't help but wonder why she allowed Kat and Annie to use the room. She had to have known they'd get in there, Annie kind of has a history of breaking and entering that James probably told her about. so... the situation probably isn't dangerous or she'd not have let the girls go. I just can't really pin her motivation and reaction. I suppose only time will tell.
