[728] I am not a robot.

Of course she's not a robot. She's a cybernetic organism, sent from the future to kill John Connor.

A great shirt!
THE GREATEST SHIRT!

Anyway, Annie should just wait until all this blows over, and in the next chapter, hunt Jones down and demand to know whatever the heck she is.

Also... Snes, you are Pyro, yes? I wasn't aware you could change your username.

Thank god that's finally cleared. Now we just need another shirt: "Jones, not a golem either." ;D

Note that Jones didn't even make a fist.

I would pay 1 million dollars for that shirt.

Aww. Shot DOWN.

I'd like a shirt like that.

I don't know why, but Jones comes off kind of sarcastic to me in that penultimate panel .

I mean, if she has any kind of tone in her voice AT ALL.

You know, I think her expression in the shirt is the most emotional we've seen yet:

Please make the t-shirt. Now that I have seen it, my life cannot be complete without that in my possession.

I hope I'm not the only one noticing the parallels between "I am interested in seeing what you do next" and "It will be far more interesting to see what happens if we don't [shut down the reactor and stop Jack's plan to draw Zimmy out]." Being considered "interesting" by Jones isn't necessarily a good thing.

Edit: Oh, and I've figured out what's really going on: Jones has supernatural powers, but the girl in the photo is a robotic duplicate of her, built in an attempt to replicate those powers.

We know a couple things from this page.

Jones is not a robot.
Being wet and cold does not make her uncomfortable.
She might not even be cold.
She also isn't very concerned for Annie's safety.
While Renard = VERY CONCERNED.


Oh, and Annie was also so easily convinced by Jones being a calm, relaxed maniac, she doesn't need to let Rey explain to Jones how irrational and insane she’s being right now. Or to point out to Annie that the entire reason she even agreed to go along was because Jack told her that Rey could come too, in order to protect her in case Jack tried to do anything to her.

... Excellent decision there, Annie! I am completely confident that this will turn out just swell!

Wait, what's Tom trying to say with this page?

So Jones just powered through a ~2-meter thick reinforced concrete wall without even breaking a sweat. Jesus H. Christ.

Also, I'm guessing that she won't intervene in whatever happens with Jack unless the building collapses or something similarly drastic happens (not that those things are particularly unlikely).

I actually didn't expect it to happen either, until Jones agreed with Jack that it was a valid assumption.

I can see that. Like: "You started this whole mess, now see how you get out of it on your own!"

Not quite. The mess came about by Jack and Zimmy both being on the roof during the power station's experiments, which would have happened even if Annie had stayed in her dorm that night. So even without Annie, Jack would still have become infected. (Perhaps things might have gone differently after that if she'd acted differently towards Jack from Chapter Twenty-three on - but I don't know how much better she could have made things. Annie's never found Zimmy, either; they always simply cross paths without Annie expecting it.)
