Y'know Lindsey, even if you're just trying to help, that was just a very poor route to take. She might be working under the impression that they can take a hit like that. Sometimes people take for granted advantages that they have as if it's something common. Like having a shell.  Is no-one else worried about Lindsey? It wasn't the most elegant landing, she doesn't look that comfortable, I hope this doesn't backfire and end up severely hurting her. I bet you couldn't punch through that carapace with anything less than the main gun on a decent sized tank. Maybe an anti-material rifle if you hit a joint(or an eye.) Is an anti-material rifle an actual thing, or just something from Mass Effect etc? I've seen it referenced a couple of places, but I assume it's not actually been made yet. |

JAYSUS, OH MAH LAWD. That feel when you've been dogpiled by a cruise ship sized psychic-engineer-and-accredited couple's therapist-merostomatozon. I know what you mean bruv, been there. Is "bruv" the British version of the American "bro/brah"? |

Seduced by the boxbot?
Jenny is missing. Why? I fear something terrible has happened to her.
She may have been able to handle flying robots, but what girl can resist a sharp dressed Boxbot?

I'm guessing there's some etheric tech involved because the Love Boat should've promptly rolled over. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

Hmm, yeah, those glass panels are probably very heavy unless they're some sort of exotic space-age materials. Fragments might not Hollywood but they wouldn't stay exactly where dropped either. Lucky this is a comic. They are very much space-age (some more than others), but transparent plastics in general and variations of safety glass in particular are older than space age. :] How heavy it is? Sure, more than enough to tear the skin and if someone is unlucky, break a toe or something, but that's about it. Besides, most students aren't even in this room. And the only student on this page certified as "pretty unlucky" is Paz.  Hmmm... big difference between simple sandwich safety glass that can resist punctures but might still fling fragments if a big piece gets dropped 30ft and modern composites. It depends on if this ship is a refit that the Court got somewhere or of they built it. But no worries, there's always plot armor. If memory serves didn't Kat say she'd choose Antimony's friendship over Paz if it came down to it? I'll have to reread that chapter and see if I can edit in a link later. [edit] Linky.[/edit] I'm guessing there's some etheric tech involved because the Love Boat should've promptly rolled over. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) And people criticized me for daring to discuss where a flesh limb might be mounted to properly interact with Lyn... but see here, there's tentacles all over Love Boat... |

I've seen it in the Fallout game, but I think that Marnath was referencing SCP. |

Anti-materiel rifles are an actual thing, yes. Unlike ordinary firearms, anti-materiel rifles are specifically designed to shoot at, and damage, military materiel rather than personnel. They are typically built like sniper rifles, but use much larger cartridges to facilitate their anti-materiel role. |

LINDSAY... SMASH! Now I imagine her becoming green and even bigger. What's with you guys and pokemans? Like there are no quotes from civilized arthropoda. Hulls pop like vibrant seeds. Splashing photons in a void. I am sticky.Hulk used Queen of Spades! Checkmate! |

The approach taken by Lindsey does not seem very safe - students might be hurt or killed by falling roof parts or shards, and she is so large that I'd be worried about the entire ship capsizing. Rule of Cool I guess. But the biggest question is: couldn't Zimmy just have opened a door and walked onto the deck?

Alternative sound effect: GROOOOOONK They're clawing their way back to victory. I'm not sure there even was a time when they weren't winning. Putting on the inhibitors and shoving some kids out of a room were the Seraphs' only accomplishments, pretty much? |

Gotta give the Seraphs some credit though, their plan was working and might have been successful, if it wasn't for those meddling kids. Yeah I know this joke has already been used, but it works so well. |

I know what you mean bruv, been there. Is "bruv" the British version of the American "bro/brah"? Londoner originally, or so I have learned. But it may have spread around a bit, I guess. Why I used it, I don't know. A momentary lapse of reason? |

Rule of Cool I guess. But the biggest question is: couldn't Zimmy just have opened a door and walked onto the deck? They needed the rain on her fast, and she was still in super-flip-out mode, so there wasn't going to be anything done out of her own free will. |

Londoner originally, or so I have learned. But it may have spread around a bit, I guess. Why I used it, I don't know. A momentary lapse of reason? No it's cool! Momentary lapses in reason are how scientific (or linguistic) discoveries are often made!  |

Antimatter rifles would be awesome. I don't care what supernatural protection you got, as long as it's solid it's going to be hurt by an antimatter rifle. Although, there are a couple of logistics problems if it relies on actual antimatter... First and foremost, twice the mass of the slug is released on contact with normal matter in the form of energy including gamma radiation, according to the wikipedia page. |

Just use very very small slugs. :) |

With antimatter bullets inside the atmosphere, wind resistance would be extremely energetic.

With antimatter bullets inside the atmosphere, wind resistance would be extremely energetic. That's one way to put it... I think the bullet would probably be annihilated before it reached the target, along with a significant chunk of the surrounding landscape. The idea I was talking about was one of two; either an antimatter-powered rifle, or a rifle that shoots an antimatter "shell," with a miniscule amount of antimatter suspended in vacuum until contact with the object. |
