Goddammit Robot, you stop this right now, you hear me? One minute you're spying on Kat from the rooftops, then the next minute you've got her hostage, acting out some kind of robot WACO in the quad. I was kind of disappointed the Robot King didn't get to meet the elder robot. Oh, the faces he would have drawn!

I wanna know why this is a worry now? Did the kids get caught up and in trouble over the Power Station expedition? (Any why do they need robots rather than just leave the decoy transmitter in their beds?) Also yes I want to meet Bud.

MikeJF posted:(Any why do they need robots rather than just leave the decoy transmitter in their beds?) The tracers are on the robots, and they are using the decoys to pretend to be robots while the robots stay behind. If Lindsey sees both the robots and the kids leaving, she'll notice, and if the computers don't see robots leaving, they'll notice.

It's a worry because they don't want the Court keeping tabs on them when they sneak out and do cool stuff! Imagine if your parents put a homing device on you. Guarantee you'd be working out a way to fool or disable it, even if you never got in trouble. Gravitas Shortfall fucked around with this message at 10:12 on Jul 7, 2011 |

Maybe the court expects a certain amount of precocious ragamuffin exploration? Despite being traced at the time, nobody got caught going to the roof to watch the power station experiment, or wandering into the labyrinth, or sneaking off to catch the saboteurs of the science fair.

I assumed that the tracking is less used to red flag egregious movement violations then to come up as proof when something bad happens so the court can cover its rear end. "Well little Jimmy did break his arm yesterday, but as you can clearly see by this log he was in an unauthorized area at the time, without permission, and clearly the court can't be held liable for such breaches of conduct."

The tracers are on the robots, not the children. What sort of draconian, totalitarian, fascist school would put tracers on the students? The only reason they're loving with the tracers is so that they can pretend to be robots.

So you don't remember when Jack discovered they were all trackable by the Court, then, or a single page ago when someone said point blank "Well, we found out the Court can track all our movements"? You are the reason that the idiot notes get added to certain pages. Congrats!

MikeJF posted:I wanna know why this is a worry now? Did the kids get caught up and in trouble over the Power Station expedition? I think you're somewhat missing the point of teenagers sneaking out of their rooms at night. Totally kills it if you just, like... walk out. And while the Court doesn't seem to take truancy or crazy technomagical shenanigans very seriously something probably would show up to stop 'em if they tripped off the security system. Even if it was just a goofy robot. DontMockMySmock posted:The tracers are on the robots, not the children. What sort of draconian, totalitarian, fascist school would put tracers on the students?

The humans wear the suppressors and put the decoy transmitters on the robots, who presumably will then bumble around the dorms in a "beep boop I am a soft human" fashion. The girls then make their escape when the robots would normally leave. The tracking signals are still coming from the dorms and Lindsay has poor eyesight so she thinks they are the robots leaving. Unrelated, but the bit about Kat on Tom's twitter page today is  on multiple levels.<edit> VVV I figured it was someone on the GC forums, I forgot that the comments section existed. Probably for the best. Oneiros fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Jul 8, 2011 |

The bit about her being flat chested is from a comment someone left on today's page. I think Tom's taking it pretty well considering I would probably just raze the comments section to the ground.

How am I not surprised that the internet is talking about the chests of 14 year-old fictional schoolgirls. Honestly, that's the only thing that keeps me from telling people about this comic sometimes. Because when you tell people you read a comic about adolescent schoolgirls, you get weird looks.

The Romani people originally came from India, so Kat is Asian. That's why she likes building robots.

I really like how Annie's tryin to look all cool and stuff in front of Kat when they're talking about breaking the rules. Staying out all night? Ain't no thing. You're talking to someone who ran away and lived in the forest for vacation.

Or 3) we throw all caution to the wind and say "Asian" anyway, not caring who gets confused in the process.
