New PageI guess Rey's conclusions aren't based on firsthand experience then.

New Question: If Seraph's CPU hadn't been removed and stashed away in a box by whoever, would this entire process have repeated itself endlessly? (That's a lot of robot bulls) Or was it a one time thing that was meant for someone to find so that Diego's story could be told?

my guess is we find out wednesday. but its fun to speculate in the meantime.
i woulda guessed any Seraph CPU shoulda done the trick... just that most S-class scarper at the sight of humans.

Now look at Detective Rey!  Question: The picture of Jeanne, is it a painting or a photograph? From the look of it and it's aparent age I figured it was a painting. But paintings rarely are totally lifelike representations. Could someone really read that a portrayed person is "uneasy in her finery" from a painted image? That must've been a hell of an artist! |

This is one of the best Gunnerkrigg storylines ever.
You have no idea how much I've wanted to create a robot snuff play after falling in love with girls out of my league.

What if Reynardine is right about Diego being sad about not having been able to help Jeanne - but not out of love but some other feeling. Maybe loyalty, or it was not romantic love but brotherly love. Or duty. I am not trying to discredit the "love" explanation, but we should keep in mind all the possibilities.

Hmmm ... "Hey, Ren-ar-deeen! That was pretty cute how you got all defensive about Annie before. You were all "Insult you would they?!"

Maybe she fought for the forest (going with the soldier idea) and she fell for diego and visa versa. That would explain why she isn't allowed to cross the water..punishment perhaps?

Maybe what we are looking at here is the founder of the court. She looks warlike, so that may have caused the rift with the forest. And Diego's mechanical talent explains the technological miracles the court has constructed.

Eightyfour: The painting could be created before invention of the photography, when such "photography-close" painting style was just the craft. I thing every painter had to be able to make very "high-fidelity" painting, because it was the thing he was asked for by his employers (dukes and other rich people). Old castles are full of portraits from 18th. century made by "unrecognized authors". Nevertheless this statement doesn't insult Tom's art  |

The plot, she thickens like a delicious milkshake.
I'm still trying to figure out why Jeanne is trapped in the chasm. It seems like it would have something to do with Diego, unless he's just a red herring.

I thought it was because ghosts can't cross running water. Or is that some other supernatural being i'm thinking of? |

I've heard 'can't cross running water' thing with vampires and werewolves, but not ghosts.

I have heard it with ghosts, and we're all forgetting that she DID cross running water just once.

I like how Annie's finding some comfort for Kat following the previous page. EDIT: As well as trying to find an end to the mystery of Jeanne |

Comparing page 423 with 433, S1 says "She died and we did nothing" both times immediately following the phrase "Who is Jeanne?" So maybe "She died and we did nothing" is a rote reply, not a sign of independent thought on S1's part. I guess we'll find out soon enough when the next page goes up in a few hours. |

Oh. I read that wrong. I thought it was Rey somehow impersonating S1.
Didn't occur that S1 was saying something.

I have heard it with ghosts, and we're all forgetting that she DID cross running water just once. That is true, but Muut did seem to think it impossible, and i reckoned he was a bit of an authority on the matter. Just another mystery in GC then, Tom likes to keep us guessing. |
