well it's *A* goose bone. i agree there should be some mention of the redshirts, but i have the feeling they were all part of the illusion/dream. like when you wake up and the dream that felt so real to you a minute ago now feels like complete fiction. Usually. but a quick word from James or Parley in that would be comforting for those of us that care about redshirts. I believe that Tom meant us to see them as all part of the illusion and so not important (he gave them no names, no dialogue, no characterization, no interactions with the main characters), and hadn't anticipated this response. |

Wait a second... what are those finger-like things protruding in from the left in Panel 7? How did they end up embedded in solid ironwood? Are they about to grab whoever tries to reach in for the bone?
I believe those are shelves that got "wrapped" in the wood when the tree grew. So it's the goose bone, and spilled vial of Coyote Blood. I wonder if the spilled water made the tree stronger. Nah, that vial was different. It's not even the vial with the seeds. Probably just an unimportant, nameless extra ("Vial Number 7" or something) put there to show this place used to be a lab. |

Actually during the illusion I thought the people Cvet was gossiping about were among the Redshirts. |

Well, its magic wood that is attacked by magic fire. So it probably doesnt give a flying F about science. The annies also defeated a water creature by heating it indirectly, which was somehow more efficient than heating it up directly. As you can see, its been art mayor physics for a while. Just enjoy the ride  Ironwood is a real thing, and some types of wood are naturally resistant to fire, if not completely fireproof. So, it wouldn't necessarily have to be magic wood. But I suppose it wouldn't be Gunnerkrigg if they used a mundane explanation where a magic one would do. |
