This can't bode well for that green idiot.

Lack of Gamma nearby is worrying.

I do love that when Renard shouts "Look out!" it looks like he is warning the elf, instead of annie or Zimmy.

Y'know, there's a higher than 0% chance that elf just instantly disappears and is never heard from again. Not likely, it'll probably be something more horrific, but still. Your chance to stop existing around Zimmy is low, but never 0.

I don't know why this page specifically, but suddenly I'm thinking Omega device is some doodad for converting Zimmy into an artificial Coyote.

Your chance to stop existing around Zimmy is low, but never 0. My guess also says something incredibly horrific is about to befall him. A clear case of eF around and find out. No sympathy from me, whatever happens he brought it on himself. |

"'Get her!' That was your whole plan, huh? 'Get her.' Very scientific."
I mean really, what was their plan? I mean, I know we've got a bunch of adolescent tree elf refugees with lots of time on their hands and nothing to do, but I notice it isn't the adult ones chasing after some random person who's somehow attached to a whole lot of really dark ethereal junk. The adult ones have learned that you don't go looking for trouble because they've already got enough of it. But no, these kids, they see a demon, think it's sneaking around, and they've just gotta poke it. Maybe they'll learn something from this, if they live. And they've gone and gotten the Annies and Renard involved now. Rule number one for survival in any story in which you're a minor character nobody's ever seen before who's just shown up in chapter 79: stay away from the protagonist.

Artificial Coyote seems super likely now that's over heard it. But why whould an Artificial Coyote be scared of a few kids? Play fight with them and acting like they got a chance, sure. But Zimmy really looked out of her Mind scared until her face blew off. I mean, she positively looked like a week without gamma scared. Not something any kind of Coyote (even an artificial one) would do.
Unless she is just a shell, and if the shell breaks, out comes the Coyote Construct. Might as well right now, Chapters with severe Zimmy in it tend to be weird.

Well they did it, they laid hands on the supremely spooky and turbulent ether girl. Weird how Annies just stood there but I guess they didn't wanna snap the tree elves like a twig or burninate them to death.

If we go with this theory, she'd definitely have to either be a shell or it's a case of Coyote (even an artificial one) hiding himself from himself - something we've seen the real McCoy do before. And that genuine fear also makes me think of Zimmy's fear of Kat's true form. Going on this theory, what would that fear mean? It was different from Annie's reaction during the Jeanne arc (Annie was caught off-guard, and had never so much as detected anything etheric about her friend). We're made to imply that every time Zimmy sees Kat, she's able to sense, if not see, that aspect - so what is so continually distressing to her? We're definitely not done with Zimmy, obviously, but we're also not done with that aspect of Katerina Donlan. |

Alas, Mr. Green-behind-the-ears, we hardly knew ye.
Then again, the last guy who wasn't far enough from Zimmy when she freaked out did survive. Granted, he wasn't quite happy about it back then…

Weird how Annies just stood there but I guess they didn't wanna snap the tree elves like a twig or burninate them to death. I think the time between Renard's "Look out!" and the Annies' "No!"/"Don't!" is probably less than 1 second. They didn't know that guy was about to jump over that wall. What I'm saying is that the Annies didn't choose not to defend Zimmy by attacking that tree elf; they're taken by surprise and unable to do anything in the time they have. |

I've thought of another reason why Zimmy could be "afraid" of these guys. Perhaps she knows Gamma's in trouble. She knows if she goes all etheric-distortiony it's going to be hard for her to get back to reality and find Gamma. These tree people may not even know anything about Gamma; all they know is they've spotted Zimmy while she's been "sneakin' around" looking for Gamma or trying to reach her. As a sub-speculation, I can't stop thinking about Zimmy running from something that glows. These guys don't glow. Now, I suppose that glow could have been Zimmy's perception of the tree elves' presence, or it might have been an artistic depiction of the sound made by the pursuers, but suppose she was on the run from something else, something that had already grabbed Gamma? Anyway, what if Zimmy's not afraid of these guys specifically; what if she's afraid that they'll prevent her from rescuing Gamma? She hasn't had but a moment to say anything, and she's probably out of breath anyway, so it's not as if she's really had a chance to explain anything. |

Well... if whatever the Omega project is supposedly confers/manipulates god-like powers I suppose that it would have to be an artificial god at some level.
Also: I am now guessing that the chapter title "Find Yourself" will prove itself to be more literal than I previously thought.
