And she already has her army of minions ready to go as well. The Angel is a suitable ominous supervillain name. I do wonder what the Court will do when they discover Kat's increasingly powerful fiefdom she has carved out. Do they know and are monitoring her? Or has Robot's gang managed to hide her as successfully as they thing they have? |

Where we learn that the reason that the Court hates the ether so much is because they knew that an ether augmented supervillain would rise and wreck havoc |

Missed opportunity for Dr. Disaster style adventure in Katopolis! Am disappoint. Would have been interesting to get to know Paz a bit more in a fun adventurous setting before she leaves and/or completely freaks out over Kat. Hope we'll still get some retrospective from Kat later about what she was experiencing being locked out of her bod before regaining access.
Monday: Due to anxiety Paz either decides to postpone breaking up with Kat until she can come up with a zany scheme, and tries to recruit Antimony to help, or Paz blurts a stereotypical "it's not you it's me" speech tactlessly, unconvincingly, and with unnecessary volume.

Also, I think this page might settle the question of whether she could hear them talk: Likely she couldn't. I don't think Kat would be able to react happily to their return if she had heard their conversation, unless she's overcompensating a brave face. Edit: Monday: Due to anxiety sheer terror Paz either decides to postpone breaking up with Kat until she can come up with a zany scheme, and tries to recruit Antimony to help, or Paz blurts a stereotypical "it's not you it's me" speech tactlessly, unconvincingly, and with unnecessary volume. Edit again: Given she's mentioned safeguards programmed in to prevent herself from coming to harm, Does the 'conjure lightning' subroutine come with etheric welding goggles(?) that filter the light over her eyes. Would explain the blackout effect. |

Waiting for Kat to just decide to delete ether as a concept and that's how she ends up killing Zimmy. And everyone else. And fulfilling the Omega macrostate.

ButI guess I see how it could relate to the Old robots, but Kat has already reactivated some of them to help anyway hasn't she? |

ButI guess I see how it could relate to the Old robots, but Kat has already reactivated some of them to help anyway hasn't she? Oh, I didn't mean the Diego-era robots, which are already awake anyway. I was referring to the pre-NP Court robots, and the NPs really are a different thing in their own right anyway so I should probably stop thinking of them as the 'new' ones. Disagree that it's symbolic of the ongoing robot to NP upgrade process, Kat's gonna tech-wizard them back to life. |

Huh. Did Kat just break the website? I was able to access the new page, see her conjure lightning arc on her fingers while having some creepy, uncanny anja eyes, and now nothing works. The webpage is just non reponsive.

Paz: "Hm. Yeah, this actually makes me feel better about my decision." Sort of. She might now be more worried about leaving Kat in this state with only Annie to deal with it. She still cares for Kat clearly. |

I do wonder what the Court will do when they discover Kat's increasingly powerful fiefdom she has carved out. Do they know and are monitoring her? Or has Robot's gang managed to hide her as successfully as they thing they have? That's a very good question. The Court wants to take Kat with them, so they at least believe that she is valuable, not ether-infected, and that they can control her. So I don't think they know the full extent of wat she's doing, unless they have some other goal beyond leaving for their promised land. As for why they don't know, I personally think it's thanks to Omega. If Omega and Kat are linked as many have speculated, Omega may be manipulating the Court in giving Kat free rein because it needs or wants Kat to do something. The Court thinks Omega is a device, a truth-telling machine that predicts the future, but from Zimmy we know it's not just a device and probably has its own goals. |
