On a meta note, is the internet reacting well to this development?

So what exactly does Paz reaction look like to you all?
Or what will she say?

Me, I'm concerned about the effect this will have on the robot denizens. The angel Katerina has manifested in her full glory and cruelly rebuked the Seraphs. What will robot society make of this? Will they even understand what offended Kat so? If they don't get it, what mistaken impression will they discern from this display of divine disfavor, and what chaos will ensue therefrom? And what does Robot make of all this?

After all that's gone by on this cruise, I somehow doubt Paz is gonna draw the line at a robot goddess transformation. She seems to take this stuff pretty well. Heck, I don't blame her for that expression, I'd be surprised too if my girlfriend electrocuted a synthetic whale carcass and used the resulting smoke cloud to turn into a robotic deity and go all Angry-God-Mode on some seraphs.
Oh but it's a good thing Jenny and Zimmy only swapped shirts because I wouldn't blame her if Zimmy just shat herself.

Casting down the robotic seraphim? That's how you get the robot devil.
...
This one probably won't sing, though.

I wonder how much Kat has noticed of her transformation.

Oookay, that was unexpected.
I assume she doesn't know that she looks like that to people at the moment?

I think the students aren't as happy as we are to see her like that. Nor anyone else in the court.

I'm guessing how she looks now is just an illusion, I doubt Kat's even aware of it.
and should've known the whale muscle would burst into smoke, seeing as what happened to the prototype wing muscle thing.

So, Kat is smoking hot, right? Or that's what Paz is thinking, clearly.  Anyway, this may be a bit "in hindsight, I called the obvious", but I called this so thousand times during this chapter, that it is all about Kat becoming the robot goddess and that's why all these little (huge!) loopholes in the plot do not matter. I request a cookie, even a lame one! |

Holy Jumping Dresden Kodak Jesus on Crack!  Is this an etheric illusion, a byproduct of Paz's animal empathy? Or has Kat merged with the ship? Anyways, I'm sure Coyote is somewhere watching and licking his crotch, ready to enjoy the incoming mayhem... |

I'll confess that I'm more concerned about Kat's (from what we can tell) killing the "whale" than about her apparent transformation. It was helpless and defeated, no longer a threat (and her wrathful tone makes it clear that this wasn't intended as euthanasia) - and the students making it out of Zimmy's world all safe and unharmed weakens the case for vengeance. (In fact, I think they're far more likely to be traumatized by what Kat did just now than by their visit to Zimmy's world.)
(And I get the feeling from this page that the Seraphs may be about to share the whale's fate - if they haven't already.)

Perhaps this will refresh your memory? You know I never read that.  Just tell me it isn't the Ship-Whale. Because Wacky Robot Kat looks an awful lot like him. Not the ship whale, although its material may have been used to generate the vision. (and, looking at Kat's angel form again with all its streaming parts, I do see similarities to the ship whale) I don't think Paz is going to view Kat in quite the same way after this. Wonder if anyone else saw it? |

It was helpless and defeated, no longer a threat (and her wrathful tone makes it clear that this wasn't intended as euthanasia) I got a strong "putting it out of its misery" vibe here, if it wasn't already dead. The wrathful tone is directed at the seraphs, not at the misguided shipwhale. Whaleship? |

Now that's gone and torn it... the foreboding that the chapter title is referring to Kat and Paz's relationship returns with a vengance. I hope Action Paz will step up and not let this revelation come between them.
LATE EDIT: If only there was couples' councilor in the house.....
I am guessing that only the Seraphs and Paz see Kat in her angelic form at the moment. The rest of the students have either turned away from the blast (see panel 2) or only see the smoke. Maybe Paz is able to see Kat because of both her close proximity and emotional connection to Kat.
Start the mass retching in 3, 2, 1...

The Seraphs and the Ship tried to FORCE their god to do their bidding, that is generally discouraged by the gods. It is discouraged by wrathful smiting and eternal torment. It does not matter how threatening the Ship is going forward, it matters that it had the hubris to place itself on equal footing with a god. At least that's how Robot will preach it. |

Shit is literally getting real. Eww no! Take it in the toilet! Sorry, couldn't resist. May I suggest a more conductive phrase that you might want to switch to? Perhaps "Shit is getting real like all seven Hells!!" Although some may not believe the existence of Hell, which makes the capacity of this sentence to demonstrate your feelings s-ohm-what lacking if it is to amp-peal to a greater audience. Edit: Personally, "Shit's getting real like all seven Hells" sounds quite the flourish, if I may complete the circuit of my opinion. Well, he/she didn't say "literal shit is getting real" but "shit is literally getting real", so the shit can be either figurative or literal, but the "getting real" is literal in this phrase. So rafks sentenxe is correct both in the figurative and the literal sense. |

Actually, in some sense, the seraphim could be thought of as being in rebellion against their god, so it could go either way. Anyone else wondering if this was the seraphim's intended outcome all along? That the ship being made real thing was just a way to get Kat into connection with an ether-siphon and reality-warp HOLY CRAP This is why Zimmy was scared to get near her; she's afraid she'll accidentally set Kat off! |

You know I never read that. (glare) In other news, it seems Kat used a lamp cord to spawn a lightning storm. Huh. And I assume this is a temporary vision, not a permanent transmutation for Kat? I don't think it's a vision or a transmutation. It's certainly not permanent though. My theory is that in this case, Robot!Kat's appearance is physical and made from the remains of the whaleship. Within a few pages, the shell is going to fall apart revealing a very unconscious Kat. The TL;DR version of what I think happened is Ether + freshly killed whaleship + close proximity to every robot who believes in Kat = perfect storm for the weirdness that just happened |

maybe we'll have to build an online emulation thereof.
