Yes. Although not the bird. Also, the end of the loop of the bird is now explained as well.

Drat, does that mean we won't immediately find out what happens with the bird exactly? Or maybe in a bonus page?

Coyote's above the Norn. Lovely . His/Loup's temporal hanky-panky remains unfettered so far.
(Speaking of temporal hanky-panky, it's my birthday! 🎉)

Looks like we won't get any more details about the damaged bird, but considering where it was and what it was doing last comic I don't see any reason to doubt Ys' story about where it was found. I still have questions about it taking root there, of course. |

Godammit I keep waiting for some sort of shoe to drop. This chapter cannot be this simple, can it?

I still have questions about it taking root there, of course. I guess we all have. Afterall, Kat didnt design it as a avian von neumann probe, right? So why did it go all Factorio on the cliff face? Was that Norn Tech (TM) that does this on default?
Or maybe its just forest magic. Stuff "grows" here, even if it is mechanical and suficiently advanced.

She worded her questions wrong for who she's talking to. She didn't ask if she saved HER Annie

If she heard that it grew while there isn't the knowledge that it did will make it so that it did via Kat's powers in the future or Coyote's story of it through Y's |

I believe that means the Tic Tocs dropped Annie in the river because their control link was disconnected. Coyote is such a stinker.

Duh, of course you were able to save Annie, if you hadn't been she wouldn't be here!

She didn't ask if she saved HER Annie The Norns seem happy to answer any questions Kat may have, but would not volunteer any information by themselves. For the answers to questions not yet asked, Kat would need to pay them another visit, as we know she will. |

Hmmm. For such a cosmic chapter everything feels a bit... flat. Is anyone else feeling that? No sense of high stakes and, as such, little emotional pay-off. Not even a mild curveball to things as we think we know them.

Not even a mild curveball to things as we think we know them. Things have basically gone as planned, without many surprises ... I mean, once we got past Brinnie's return (!) and meeting the Norns (!). Of course, we just found out that Coyote was the one who destroyed the Tic-Toc (!) and is more powerful than the Norns (!). Also we still have no explanation for the fact that the robots have known about the Tic-Toc since the early days of the Court. |

Alas, no temporal Zoom with Coyote. I can only imagine, we'll be having a Coyote-centric bonus page. Unless, Tom is showing us the neutrality of fate with this chapter. "It is what it is" and all that.
The Noms merely said "a higher power". Jeanne slew psychopomps, which is pretty powerful. Considering where the Tic-Toc crashed, are Annie and Kat more likely to think it was Coyote or Jeanne?

i'm disappointed it doesn't look like Coyote will finally see Kat this chapter unless it's the last page and a "heh"

She worded her questions wrong for who she's talking to. She didn't ask if she saved HER Annie I believe "her" Annie is right beside her right now, saved by another Kat. And now Kat saved the Annie of some other Kat. Infinite Kats saving infinite Annies. The Norns are a busy bunch. Thankfully they have a lot of time in their hands. |

Not even a mild curveball to things as we think we know them. Just how it goes with maintenance folk. When your job is to maintain the consistency of time itself, i can only imagine the less excitement the better. |

Not even a mild curveball to things as we think we know them. This is very, very subjective. I'm really enjoying the chapter so far, and the fact that it was Coyote who broke the Tic-Toc at that particular moment (I.E. before explanations to its connection to the robots and it being rooted on the shore) is enough of a curveball to keep me speculating for the week. I guess its all about expectation and how you understand what you're reading. |

She worded her questions wrong for who she's talking to. She didn't ask if she saved HER Annie She did! The loop is closed and stable. There aren't any Kats in other timelines grieving for Annies that fell off the bridge and couldn't be saved  Of course this doesn't solve the issue of that other Kat in the timeline were Loup whiskered Court-Annie from. But one problem at a time... |

If all it took was one visit and at most a few minutes to take care of every stable time loop the bird was involved in, why will Kat be making repeated visits to the Norns as they say she will? Are those all alternate-timeline Kats, or will there be further, more elaborate time travel shenanigans?

Would be interesting if a few days later Kat receive a signal from a rebuilt Tic-Toc with no clue about what happened aside from a bunch of console logs describing the "Factorio" process, while at the Norns the Time Stream suddenly light up with the video feed and they go "ah, it happened sooner than usual this time" |

I have to admit, I wish the Norns would imitate Annie or Annie, or even Anja or Brinnie.
Blame my own inability to process comics at lunchtime, but I keep seeing Kat answer Kat's questions and it's weirding me out more than the closed-loop time traveling birds.
