Sorry, running it a bit later than I’d like today. Happy Monday.

ANDI: I guess... if it's just for measurements...
ANDI: What do you think, Kiddo?
AMANDA: I like high scores.
ANDI: Okay.... uh, go for it then?
SCAR: Before that! I am having proposal. Way for one to be helping of other maybe, yes?
SCAR (VO): First, Selkie begin Echoing. Focus on any changes you notice, yes?
SCAR (VO): Then, Amanda next. Be doing laser thing at target when you are having readiness.

Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
Amanda needs to take the damping beret out of her hair first, doesn’t she?
Correct. That’s next page.
Apes. Fish. Strong. Together.
perhaps: “… is because Agent Then is asking for Synergistic Energy Cycling datas, yes…?”
the Secret Commentary, as it were… but that whole line woud be quite apropos of Then, either way….
This is probably why Scar is here instead of Pohl. Remember there was a lively debate over philosophies between the two of them. Possibly Scar is more versed in awakening and powering-up young Echoes/
Random, but the borderline NSFW TopToon ad that was inserted into the middle of the transcript box for me fits well enough that it looks like intentional and rather humorous trolling:
SCAR (VO): First, Selkie begin Echoing. Focus on any changes you notice, yes?
Woman (who looks flustered): How is it this big?
Oh, that is a hilarious ad placement you saw.
Mine says “LagShot.” It is for golf clubs, but still opera-po this part of this arc. Until they arc over and burn out the meter.
„Be doing laser thing at target when you are having readiness.“
Is it just me, or is Scar channeling his inner Tarkin here? 😉
Yes, it is just for measurements. Range, accuracy, penetration, blast radius, fall-out half-life…
I have read and watch waaaaaay too many anime’s, in my minds eye, they both moved, almost dance like, and basted the meter off its stand.
But don’t forget the bit where as they echo up, they each rise into the air with dramatic music and colors swirling around them, and their outfits shimmer into something different and possibly impractical. Everyone around them will, of course, wait patiently despite how long it always takes.
this! 🙂
