Is that some kind of emotion in the last panel, Jones?

Coyote put the stars in the sky.
Ysengrin put Jones there.

Well, we know Jones can generate near-limitless force.. I wonder if that translates into speed? i.e. can she throw her jacket away fast enough in one direction to generate a significant amount of momentum for herself in the other? Or maybe she'll just compress her lungful of air and fire it out.. Or maybe Tony will just send his microsat over to give her a hand back down Does Jones breathe? does she have lungs? I get the impression from her x-rays she's just one solid humanoid mass. but then how does she speakShe doesn't need breathing but for some reason she has an external anatomy analogous to humans with the same amount of holes and bumps, so I presume her internal anatomy is also analogous. Plus she looks human since she was born (along with the planet) so we can rule out the assumption she's a somewhat metamorphic lump of clay that mimics what she sees (which could lead to the assumption that she just simulates speech with an air sack and makeshift vocal cords). So, yeah, she could have some air in her actual lungs that she was using to say "something is happeni~" and she could use it as a maneuvering and re-entry thruster but it would require an enormous amount of physics knowledge to perform this task with less than 1.9 litres of air (since she was in the middle of a sentence). So... Not impossible, but improbable PS: If she blow hard enough the air might come out so fast that it might become plasma, so I think we might ponder if it really is the time for a fire breathing Jones to show up |

What is the sound that Jones is actually making when she says "..."? Is it just silence/nothing, or is she saying "Hmm" or something like that?

Worderful catch! Is Fire!Annie going to "do the Superman thing" and go in her rescue? Could Ether fire survive in Space? |

Unless Ysengrin specifically makes an effort to retrieve Jones from her current position, I'd say she's just been removed from the story semi-permanently. I assume she's not in a geo-stationary orbit, which means every second that passes, her relative xy-coordinate over the Earth's surface is changing dramatically. When she eventually deorbits, there is no guarantee she'll land anywhere near Gillitie Wood. This may have just pulled Jones out from the roster, and we won't be seeing her for a looooong time. Which would be quite the stakes-raiser in my opinion.

I'm pretty sure Ysengrin/Coyote has the power to bring Jones back, and just wants her out of the way to allow for a purely one-on-one discussion with Annie.

Nicely done! |

I've just realised that Jones bears a remarkable resemblance to the new Doctor Who! It has to be a coincidence, especially since Tom's not fond of "Doctor Who" (not to mention that Jones' character design predates Jodie Whittaker's casting by several years). |

She just has to gather enough Chekov energy before being able to return.

She just has to gather enough Chekov energy before being able to return. Just twist around and Jones THuNDERCLAP! back (assuming there is enough air/atmosphere at that height) /wildspec There is a Greek myth about Hercules fighting an Demi-God Earth elemental, and the only way to defeat him was to pick him up to avoid any contact with the floor. So, what happens to an Earth elemental when you remove it (literally) from it? Will Jones wither/lose immortality? Lose character, and GRIN to the Void, so it shudders and propel her back to the planet, out of discomfort? |

I wonder if Ysengrin took the time to calculate the necessary speed and trajectory for a stable, long-term orbit, or if she'll come plummeting back to earth in like, 5 minutes. Judging by the images, she's still inside Earth's atmosphere. So, taking that into account, as well as the fact that she doesn't need a parachute to slow her down, she certainly would come back in ±5 minutes: Felix Baumgartner Space Jump World RecordRed Bull Stratos |

Well, I guess she could still de-orbit somewhere over the pacific-ocean and have to spend a few weeks walking back. |
