CoyZimLoup has essentially turned into a miniature black hole. Seems like a white hole, unless I'm misunderstanding the art. In the immortal words of Phineas Flynn, "What just happened?!" From Tom's "So that's what that looks like" I assume that means that this is what it looks like, from an external point of view, when people do the scene shifts of the past couple of chapters, if anyone is left behind to witness it (in this case, Renard). Looks like you earned yourself some cookies! |

Catching up, as I've just realized that I didn't do this on Friday. Shadow 2 has just run up to Annie, Renard, and the mystery New Person, saying that he's glad he found Annie. But on this page, the mystery NP gets a distinctly unhappy expression in her steely gray eyes and suddenly lunges at Shadow with unknown intent. Annie's still got her by the arm, though. And then, BWIP! The three of them look like they're being sucked through a hole. The background seems to be warping around them, as well, so perhaps they're being pulled to another part of the distortion?
It's unclear exactly what triggers this warp – does it happen as soon as Mystery NP makes direct contact with Shadow? Or is it something she can consciously trigger, but it requires physical contact? And, the obvious question, why is Mystery NP seemingly upset with Shadow? Maybe she initially just saw him as an unwanted distraction, not a part of her plan (or she didn't want Annie to hear whatever he was about to say), and wanted to send him away, but then Annie's interference caused all of them to be sent away?
It seems that Renard is being left behind by this. Whatever's happening here, will Annie be able to communicate with him via their familiar link?

In the immortal words of Phineas Flynn, "What just happened?!" "Aren't you a bit young to be distorting the universe?" "Yes, yes we are." Well, it's nice to see kids taking an interest in theoretical metaphysical sciences. |

It could be Anthony due to not acting like himself. He's not "him" so his mind cage isn't crippling him Eh, fight, flight, freeze, fawn is all hind brain primal instinct - that’s usually the stuff that is most deeply embedded and hardest to change vs. higher level brain functions like executive function, rational thought, social skills, etc. I’m not ruling it out - anything is possible, but I haven’t seen anything from MDHNP that strikes me as Anthony-like behavior-heck, she’s even smiling a few pages back, until Annie grabs here. Bet’s are definitely still open, but I’m putting my marks on Jenny at this point because a.) she’s already been confused for Zimmy before, b.) shares Jack’s desire to protect Zimmy from harm and has helped him keep tabs on her, c.) has reason to be suspicious of Annie and Kay’s intentions toward Zimmy based on their last encounter, and d.) hasn’t been involved with the New People and would be naturally curious upon getting a first look at them. She also does the wing thing with her eyeliner both in her Goth Girl phase and in her Betty Crocker but magic garb. Then again, we could all be wrong and it could just be a former robot. Sometimes a new person is just a new person as the saying goes. 😉 |

Speaking of old Diego's bots: what if they wanted to have biological bodies too? They don't have CPU chips (they were invented before those); instead, they have... weird golem hearts. So they wouldn't be able to make the transfer in the same way. That is, unless Kat finds a way to perfectly transfer their hearts. |

But apparently they function without a CPU inserted. Which raises the question why they have those slots in the first place if everything else about them is a completely different technology from today's and they're not needed anyway. |

CoyZimLoup has essentially turned into a miniature black hole. How long until they become CoyZimLoupShAnnie? |

Perhaps the golems designed the first CPUs to be compatible with one of their existing ports, so that they could exchange data and reprogram the CPUs directly. There don't appear to have been conventional computers in Diego's day--presumably they were adopted by the Court after their development in the outside world--so the only available computers that could communicate with the CPUs would have been the golems themselves. This would also explain why Robot gained S1's combat skills when plugged into the latter's body; older robot CPUs are made to "imprint" off the golem ancestor to their model class. |

Great questions and theories, all. This is one of those aggravating GC mysteries that was shown but NEVER got explained, and I can only hope Tom gives us a crumb of resolution before the whole thing comes to an end. |

They don't need CPU's to function because Kat got one to go without it. The heart is actually them the CPU appears to not be in their versions |
