Paz can just leave like that? Take a plane and go back home... ? Man, I was sure the Court was planning to kill and/or mindwipe everybody left behind... like, they are planning to have the people they take away to the new world forget their past, and the people left behind to forget those who leave for the new world... correct? That sounds like they are really worried about the memories and beliefs of people, specially of ether-touched people left behind, to somehow influence the new world... I was sure they had a plan to dispose of those... Like, they were going to turn off the pocket dimension and leave them floating in space, or at the very least put drugs in the water so they get amnesia... But if people can just leave like Paz does... I am sure a lot of people should be leaving now... everybody knows the Court's leadeship is dumping them, and with Loup causing mayhem... why would anybody want to stay, save those who were born in the Court and know nothing else, or those who were outcasts like Zimmy and have nowhere to go back, or the Forest's animals and fairies...? Even Court-born people should be leaving for a new schools or new jobs... I mean, many among them have good scientific and technological skills, they could do well elsewhere... If these people are allowed to leave... won't the legend of those who left for a new planet expand and spread? Aren't they risking the people of Earth create a tale about the new world, influencing the Ether, potentially tainting the new planet...? I wonder if the Court's leadership isn't planning to blow up the whole Earth after they leave to cover their tracks...  I do wonder about that plane with the fold-up stairs. That's not a commercial airliner. Either a) the Court was nice enough to lend her a plane, or b) she has access to a private jet. We saw this plane at the start of the side comic 'Traveller'. It had GC livery and Paz was a passenger. It is presumably a court jet* piloted by robots. *If Paz ever features in another side comic, perhaps it will be called 'The Court Jetter'? I'll take my flagon and go... I am worried now... could the robot crew be ordered to dispose of the people leaving, so they can't spread tales about the new world...? |

So much for all that nuclear-meltdown-techno-angel-going-supervillain doomsaying by certain people in the recent page threads. ... I don't know...
William, Janet, Margo, and John seem pretty upset about Paz leaving them behind in the hellscape that is Kat's Court. Things are so bad, they have to use the space between the Court and the Forest as the runway for the aircraft. Annie and Renard must think they can stay in Kat's good graces by sacrificing others, but in the end they will have to turn on each other.

I wonder if the Court's leadership isn't planning to blow up the whole Earth after they leave to cover their tracks... Of course, killing everyone who stayed behind would mean they'd enter the ether and influence it - which obviously isn't what the Court wants. It's possible that everyone on Earth will "magically" forget the Court once they make the journey, and thus won't be able to take those memories into the ether when they pass on. |

I wonder if the Court's leadership isn't planning to blow up the whole Earth after they leave to cover their tracks... Well it's not too late for some mindwiping actually. Might just do it once the plane reaches its destination. But you know i think the Court doesn't actually care about people deemed unnecessary leaving. Plus Paz and the others might know that spreading confidentional information about Courts actions in public might end badly for them since the Court is always watching. I'm sure the Court has some kind of technology that will allow them to wipe out memories about themselves around the globe and there is no need for killing. Dead bodies leave too much traces after all. And actually i guess a lot of people have already left the Court and mostly the ones from the outside. The Court for of most it's outside inhabitants was a school first and foremost. It's only logical for them to leave and it's not like they know any information about Courts plans or actions to not let them go. The reason for the ones born inside the Court to stay is understandable as well because they might not have anywhere else to go or even a citizenship or visa in the outside world for a long stay in case the Court doesn't let them back inside. Plus the Court still has the main purpose of running away from the rest of the world. No one knows what happens after the higher ups leave it's not like they said anything about everything exploding or the pocket dimension shutting down. They leave and life goes as it always did... except for rampaging forest creatures and crazy angry God running around. |

And there still haven't been any robots rising from their graves, figuratively or literally. But maybe this is only how that gets started. I speculate that Katerina's newly-gained ability to direct the old robots into their new bodies will soon result in a mass robot reincarnation. |

My first thought was that it was Papa Carver and Juliette in the background, an odd couple to be sure

"Paz is traveling tonight on a plane I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain And I can see Paz waving goodbye Oh it looks like Daniel Paz, must be the clouds in my eyes..." = I do wonder about that plane with the fold-up stairs. That's not a commercial airliner. Either a) the Court was nice enough to lend her a plane, or b) she has access to a private jet. = Vaya con Dios, Paz. Kat built one she saw on the internet |

It's just occurred to me that Matt seems to have checked out a while back: haven't seen him since Faraway Morning. (There may be a glimpse of the back of his head at the end of 'The Tree') |

We saw this plane at the start of the side comic 'Traveller'. It had GC livery and Paz was a passenger. It is presumably a court jet* piloted by robots. *If Paz ever features in another side comic, perhaps it will be called 'The Court Jetter'? I'll take my flagon and go... So you're saying you should be jettisoned... |

(There may be a glimpse of the back of his head at the end of 'The Tree') Possibly also in The Torn Sea: talking to Becky Ground in panel 3 of page 1393 and/or shouting "Now!" on page 1433. Interestingly, the Gunnerkrigg Court Index tags the first instance as Matt and the second instance as "Unnamed Kid." |

I do wonder about that plane with the fold-up stairs. That's not a commercial airliner. Either a) the Court was nice enough to lend her a plane, or b) she has access to a private jet. The Court could have a few problems with using a full sized airliner. Especially now. And probably were never planning to fly many people to/from any single destination anyway. The planes built like that aren’t going to be very picky about airstrips and won’t attract too much attention if the listed owner is some organization nobody have heard of. At this point the Court may be shipping the students away. And this one they could quietly bump to the head of their queue. Janet and Winsbury (does this mean they've given up pretending that they're not an item?) Or are too distracted to remember they are in a public place… again. |

Not sure if it's the same in the UK but the closest airport near where I live nearly always has private planes and crew on standby waiting for a charter to pop up. Some are owned by the crew and do charters for a living but others are owned by rich people who have them run charters when the plane isn't in use to help defray the cost. In this case I think the Court would only charter the plane and provide their own crew, though. |
