Destabilize?
Now that sounds ominous for the people inside...(also, nice weapons!)

Oh, so Robot is a big etherics expert now? Well, I suppose if he used to be a Seraph...
Also, a torpedo seem like overkill to anyone else?

Indeed, I can't wait to see what that means to kids now stuck in Zimmingham. Anyway, I love it how they are literally attacking Zimmingham. Crazy!

To strike the etheric, would it need to be a photon torpedo?
(Note that, while Tom says the torpedo wasn't a robot, he says nothing about the buoy.)

I demand the Buoy be read its robotic rights. If it is a robot.
Also I feel like Renard is having more fun than he appears to be.

So... they did learn the Way of Jones.  Also, a torpedo seem like overkill to anyone else? No, especially given how thick and long those lightnings around this "BLOOM" look. "He learned to deal the far-off stone, And poke the long, safe spear." Even golems can learn from others. Catch up already?  |

Remotely activated plastic explosives or a rocket-propelled grenade launcher would accomplish the same task, without figuring out how to mount torpedo tubes on a boat that small. Unless for some reason the Court had these torpedo-equipped patrol boats already available... then the question is why? |

Sooo... Gunnerkrigg Court navy not only consists of fully robotized, top-notch ocean liner, but also includes a fleet of Schnellboots armed with live torpedoes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-boatNow I wonder if GK is a valid NATO member. Also, "Gunnerkriegsmarine"! |

I really hope they know what they're doing; for all we know, destroying one of the siphons could make the situation worse - like leaking the nature of Zimmy's world across the face of the Earth. The ship and Seraphs have done enough damage already meddling with Zimmy's abilities without properly understanding them.

On Friday, could we see the rescuing armada being sucked down into a maelstrom of chaos, pseudo-flesh and an 'end of chapter' symbol? On a more serious note, will Zimmingham deal with Robot any more kindly than the other Seraphs? (who haven't been sighted since just after the Transition... not that I'm complaining #shiver!) |

Is it me or does the torpedo look vaguely like that green arrow used to kill Jeanne's lover? About the only similarity is that it's green.

Note that "destabilize" is not necessarily the same as "neutralize". The destruction of one platform may simply give them a way in, so they'll _all_ be running around in a warped reality area. Of course that means they'll also have a way out, once they've collected all the students. Bring Zimmy out last, leaving Ship and all the other Seraphs in a cleft of their own cutting when the system collapses into some other state of being.

Or even how it would affect Rey and Shadow, not to mention the other robots and the boat fleet. |

To strike the etheric, would it need to be a photon torpedo? Only if they reversed the polarity of its phase stabilizer. It should be interesting if they can enter Zimmyingham. I'm curious to see if the Seraphs are cute, grotesque, or both. |

Who gave the Court's robots *torpedoes*? That seems highly irresponsible.

Not to mention that the robots can apparently take them for a joyride without the courts approval.

I'm most interested in seeing if Kat is going to finish fleshing out the ship in time, and what it's going to look like once they're back to reality.
I wonder what Robot's intentions are. If he knew about their plan, etc.

We know Zimmingham is directly tied to Zimmy's psyche. She's already not stable (understatement of the day). Could the physical attack in Zimmingham destabilize HER further? Even if no, will students be safe in a less stable reality? I doubt it. But Rey usually seems like he knows what he's doing... |

At first I wasn't concerned about the torpedo causing any trouble because I thought the robot launching it had etheric plant qualifications, so he'd know if this was one of the safe ways of shutting them down. But then I realized that this robot in the boat here is not the same one. Not only does he have a split torso but he also has different forearms and hands. His face is very similar, though the back of his head appears more curved/organic, so perhaps he's a related model -- but he's certainly not the same bot. Hopefully he's just as much a professional though. |

So, apparently Zimmingham is too stable for Robot. I'm not sure that more destabilization is the answer here!
