"HAPPY ACCIDENTS," Llanwellyn screams somewhere in the asbestos-laced distance.

One does not simply try and steal a gods power once

Sure. Try again. What's the worst that could happen?

Continuing on from the previous page, Annie is still talking to Shell. It appears that she doesn't know whether Aata's leaving the Shadow Men or not, but whichever he does, she'll go with him.
But more than that, it looks as if Shell may be open to sharing some information with Annie about the Court's plans. Aata left her with Annie for a reason, and Annie is in a better position to protect the Court from whatever Loup does next than possibly anyone else. The Court's going to keep going with its plans, and Annie's going to need information if she's going to be able to help at all. Now, whether Shell's going to pass along any of that info right now or whether she's talking about later, I don't know, but I guess we'll see.
Kat and Renard are shown looking on in panel 7, probably too far away to hear, so what they know about this conversation will depend on what Annie tells them.

So Shell is coming out of her shell. This feels like a continuation of this page, where Aata requested that Shell help with the rescue operations. |

Last panel possibly interesting.... it seems to imply that the Court's "plan", probably Omega related, is not reliant on the SM scheme here to steal Coyote/Loup's powers. The SM plan might have been part of the overall strategy, might have increased its chances for success, but the "plan" can and will go forward, Loup-y powers in hand or not.....
It also suggests that the Court hierarchy has overall control of the "plan", not the SM (though clearly they play a major role).
And note, it's not the plan, or our plan, but their plan...

One does not simply try and steal a gods power once Gods tend to react badly to that sort of behavior. About your only chance of avoiding a horrible consequence is to keep trying until you succeed. (or, of course, don't try the first time) |

(or, of course, don't try the first time) I wonder, also, what they intend to do with the power they've stolen. If it's just to prevent Loup from using it, that's probably all right. If the Court wants to use that power itself - based on its past record, I'd say that it could be just as disastrous as what Loup did with it. |

Was the Court continuing forward ever in doubt? They didn't stop after Rey killed that guy, and despite the damages no one seems dead this time around. Unless it starts costing lots of lives I don't think the losses or potential losses outweigh the potential gain, so I seriously doubt the Court is gonna get cold feet. I mean Loup, the uncontrolled "evil" Coyete, doesn't seem eager/able to kill even after being angered. Given the current situation, the court going after Coyetes powers is pretty comparable to living near a creature with said powers, from a risk assessment perspective.

Not like we needed confirmation, but there ya go: it's all the Court's work.

Next page: SHELL: See, the Court's true goal is actually to- ANNIE: No... I understand. End of chapter.
It feels like we are at the denouement of this chapter. I would predict that next page will be the last of the chapter, were it not for page numbering, so I predict Monday's page will be the last of this chapter(save the bonus page on Wednesday). |

Are Shell's eyelashes supposed to remind us of the eye makeup of the Droogs from Clockwork Orange, or just a happy coincidence?
Also nice to see at least some characters appearing to respond to messing up with, "Ok, now I should help you fix it" rather than cutting and running or carrying on as before.

The slightly grimaced-talking mouth Shell has in the last panel (if Im not over interpreting!) suggests that while the Court may be going ahead with its "Plan", Shell's not quite so sure it's a great idea. Or not as great an idea as it used to seem, in light of recent events - less certain of success. And since she notes Annie can better "handle" Loup, maybe Shell will tell Annie a bit about the Plan, get her input, maybe even solicit help? Could be interesting...

And since she notes Annie can better "handle" Loup, maybe Shell will tell Annie a bit about the Plan, get her input, maybe even solicit help? Could be interesting... Shell repeatedly said she is sure Aata is about to get kicked out of something he leads like he was just another rank-and-file guy (assuming he plays by the common rules), even in the current situation. Also, Shell has such high opinion of him that most likely she is absolutely sure: if even great Aata couldn't do it right, nobody can. Therefore, she writes it off as already failed at this point. If she sees it this way, the only sensible act is: go for any practical fallback ASAP. I'm very far from being sure on either part, though the latter at least seems plausible, simply because he's closer to understanding than most people (assuming he's a failed god, as Coyote implied). I wonder whether Aata agrees with these assessments. Well… that's the problem with truly zealous followers. The flip side of being a god, eh? One does not simply try and steal a gods power once , so yes. |
