Robomat: OK, this is the last time we’ll hop back and forth in time… back to six hours before the apocalypse of the previous page. And our day starts off fairly innocent enough… we visit Olga, Jasmeen, Sun, Brelvis and Ornuk – currently second year cadets – in the training facility otherwise known as the robomat.You should be fairly familiar with Olga (formerly octogenarian telepath Gola Beh, de-aged and stripped of decades of memory) and Brelvis (human/canine genetic meld). Jasmeen is a witch, Sun uses magnetic fields and Ornuk is a shapeshifter. The first appearances of those latter three was technically in the Olga & Brelvis mini-series, and we saw more from Jasmeen in The Olaf Mystery.
Patreon: By the way, should it be a thing that interests you, my Magellan patrons over at Patreon have been getting full previews three updates ahead of schedule. And you can too for as little as $1 a month… 😎
Families/Cемьи: New voting incentive featuring Red Vlad, Comrade Katya, Epoch, and Charisma kicks off March 1 (around 5pm Sydney time, 1am New York Time). Stay tuned!
Next update: Wednesday, March 4, 2020: Meet the Bots…
Is that the same team fights Kaycee’s class were doing at the start off Lockedown?
Sun is right, as things stand: No need to worry about any exercises next week.
Yeah, that should be a standard second year team exercise.
I’m having a hard time picturing Olaf as threatening, based on what we’ve seen of him🤷♂️
… I think Olaf managed to scare at least few people, including the narrator of The Olaf Mystery.
Well… he’s weird, but not particularly scary to most people except Jasmeen, who’s head seems to be filled with a lot of paranoid nonsense
Some of which *may* turn out to actually be true 😕🤷♂️
Similar, that exercise was four per team, this is five… but they do many group exercises throughout second year.
Magenetic or magnetic? 🙂 (In commentary, not comics itself.)
Thanks – fixed!
So I guess Kyunda has learned how to divide his clothes too? Oglaf has healing powers, Momo appears to be an alien with ocular rays (and six eyes to use them from), we’ve seen JJ before and he projects a null field from his body that can stop stuff… Looking back at Olga & Brelvis the only person I could see being the purple bat faced one would be Dylan with soome kind of transformation powers?
Mmm… I wonder what team combo Olga could pull off in order to win this. Brelvis’ main powers are his physicality and his super senses. But Olga makes super senses obslete because she can just use her power to read their opponent’s minds and figure out where they are…
Unless they’re shielded from that, in which case Brelvis becomes a very important member of the team, able to detect enemies earlier than anyone else. Olga can then take the information from him and share it with the whole group.
Magnetism can mess with tech and even more basic equipment as long as it’s made of metal (are those belt buckles on the uniform something she could leverage?). Hex and telepathy can mess with the people themselves. Shapeshifting, aside from straight-up infiltrating can create a great deal of confusion and cause a friendly fire in the enemy team, or on the other hand be used to set up bait or confuse enemy predictions by having the shapeshifter take the appearance of someone from your own team… Then again Ornuk hasn’t shown himself to be a particularly skilled actor and he has a fairly obvious “tell”…
I wonder if Jasmine has a hex that can give people gas?
I’ll delve a bit more into the others with the next update, but you’re essentially correct in many aspects. I’ve had another reader suggest to me that Momo’s code-name should be Sexclops… lol, no. Also, this is an error I need to be mindful of myself and have almost made a few times… it’s Olaf, not Oglaf… Oglaf being the name of a rather well known Australian fantasy porn webcomic!! 😉
Oops! Freudian typo. Yeah I knew about that comic, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have confused the names.
The best kind of Freudian typo!! 😀
