Assuming Smitface was correct, a few days have passed since the last comic.

That might be Juliette's hand in the last panel, perhaps taking the box to Kat instead of wherever it was meant to go.
Edit: Perhaps its her substituting a set of Kat-tampered chips instead of the zombie ones?

...oh.
I did not expect it to be this easy.
The geek in me counted 17 CPUs in the box, and coincidentally also 17 robots on top of the building in the middle of the 1st panel. Not that much of a gap, really.

Not that much of a gap, really. But a gap none the less. Do they have a way of closing it again? And since it is a circle, I assume it continues underground. Not that Loup has had any trouble getting his dudes into the Court via the underground root systems anyway. |

Not that Loup has had any trouble getting his dudes into the Court via the underground root systems anyway. No way of closing the gap is stated, but I can think of a few possibilities. You could put the CPUs back into the robots' heads, or grab a robot from some other place and move it over. Or you could just put a garrison of security men around the gap.They'll think of something, I guess. |

Perhaps, Kat has bodies for them already. A silent revolution, a few chips at a time.
If Kat started cranking out bodies, 17 robots could pull the chips of 289, which then would turn to thousands. They shouldn't have to be as complicated as Arthur's new body, in order to free them. If they're a simple enough construction, she might be able to use her replicator-like device, to make them in mass.
The Court would certainly care, but if Kat ensured that the shield was still up with dumb chips, would they notice.

I had thought the solution might be replicating Robot's weird ceramic thing on his chip bbut yakno. Guess that ***might*** be what's happening. I'm fairly certain that something different is happening than just court zombie chips because there's no indication that what we saw earlier on www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=2241 doesn't seem to be happening here. |

On the panels shown, I see only removal, not replacement. |

I think #2241 is a pretty good clue. "I have to talk to Juliette," and then a few pages later, the chips get placed in a nice, safe padded box, with Juliette's (?) hand closing the box. |
