This one's pretty much done, but Psu's using graphic design training to put a cool webpage type thing on Wrenn's tablet.

Time to catch up to now, and reflect. That's why there's a mirror, see?

Gunwild: Why do we need to do word-talking? Panel 3 is like the best part of the comic and it's got no words at all.
Brellom: I'm actually a fan of stories with minimal to no dialogue. Conan the Barbarian is one of my favourite movies. There's like 5 lines in the entire film.
Psu: Yeah but Conan doesn't have jokes or space politics. Or hologram cats.
Brellom: Crom laughs at your hologram cats.

This one's inspired by those crime movie panels that we did a ways back. Poor Motor Minx never got an outfit design for those, so that's been remedied... but it seems like her crime movie involves Dr. Botz inviting her to a dance with danger!

Psu: Guys. This page is nuts.
Brellom: It is pretty nutty.
Gunwild: It's a lotta panels!
Psu: It's also kinda clever. Like, I forgot how many tricks I had to pull to get this one together, and a lot of it was helped by the scripting too. The panels have panels within panels.
Brellom: That is neat. I hadn't noticed that before.
Gunwild: It's rough to ask an artist...

Okay sorry this is all taking so long... but Wrenn does two outfit changes here, and one of them has never appeared before! Also, pinup is incoming.

Gunwild: I too sometimes cheap out on build quality in my electronics, and then later regret it.
Psu: Cases! Cases for your electronics are important, especially very important handheld ones like your phone! I couldn't give a patoot how well machined the exterior of your phone is, if it's super smooth chill to the touch iodized magnesium with gold inlays and sapphire glass. Get a 15 dollar case and protect yourself! It'll probably save your life! Also d...

I haven't been on a plane in a while, even before the pandemic. But moodily staring out of a window or paying attention to my tablet instead of anything around me is about how I handle all the times when I have to travel in close proximity to other people.

Gunwild: This page demonstrates my failure to bring back a reference to this plot point earlier in the story, even though I knew we'd want to use it with the buncha deactivated robots in Dr. Botz's lab. On the plus side, I at least got to re-do the awful table balancing joke from earlier in the comic.
Psu: I admit, this is one of my favorite cliff hangers in our entire webcomic. I know we didn't get to mention it earlier in the chapter but seeing it lik...

I want some noodles for dinner, too...

Aw I hate when I drop the noodles I've already picked up in a soup. Broth splashes, it's awful. That's why I usually throw in a wrist-twist, really coil them around the utensil.
(This is a nearly finished page so y'all can see it, should be up tomorrow.)

Brellom: Guess which character I most enjoyed colouring on this page.
Gunwild: I'm not good at guessing things!
Brellom: It's Dr. Botz, the best character in this entire show.
Psu: I thought it was Wolfstar.exe.
Brellom: Panel 5 is one of my favourite images that I still use Botz's face as an emoji. I think you did most of that because it was such a specific aesthetic.

Gunwild: The joke that evil lairs shouldn't have handrails is an old one, I think I've been telling it in one form or another since I watched the Star Wars movies on VHS as a kid. You know, like, inside the Death Star are these endless chasms you can just run into? Emperor Palpatine wouldn't have plummeted to his doom if somebody had just blocked off that giant hole... but I guess you don't really worry about making things comfy and safe when you're a villain.

Oh, yeah? Proper clay-molded gaming chips are always manufactured with trade secrets, so how else are you supposed to get enough authentic ones for your home card game of high-stakes Old Maid?

I was initially unsure that recycling the layout of the previous page would work, but I think it's creating an effect I like.

Psu: Brellom, do you got 20 minutes?
Brellom: Bold of you to assume I could limit my monologue to a mere 20 minutes.
Psu: Well if you can keep going for 30 minutes while I go do something about this headache I got, then you'll be a big help. Again. Like when you flatted and rendered this page.
Brellom: Shouldn't we wait for you though?

Psu: This page keeps going in my art portfolios, cause it's a really cool one. We don't have enough of those in this comic, it feels like. But I think if we just kept putting our characters in life or death situations, every other story, then it'd lose a lot of meaning.
Gunwild: Ehh I don't have a lot of philosophy to drop, here. I always enjoy onscreen violence in comics being a few really well-defined images without stopping for words, so that worked ...

This is really almost done, but I bet the background of the scene in panel 2 will get gussied-up first.

Brellom: I really enjoyed working on this page, but can you guess what part I REALLY enjoyed?
Psu: The fact that Botz is alive?
Brellom: ... sure. I can distinctly remember rendering this one. I think I was worried about using too many warm, vibrant colours -- but in retrospect, I wish I hadn't made Penny look so blue near the bottom.

Gunwild: Being able to lift a soda machine, then putting it in front of the door your enemies would have tried to get through... that's a very important tactic we learned from the game Deus Ex: Human Revoluton, I think? Not that the developers ever intended it.
Psu: Did we all use that technique at the elevator stage? I thought I was really creative but it seems like everyone tried it.

Gunwild: I'm honestly too young to have played the arcade game Sinistar myself, but I've heard of it. And I like that we got a way to visualize this hacking difficulty plot point. As Pac-Man Fever.
Psu: I too, only know of it thanks to YouTube. But I'm gonna bet that the main reason people remember it is because it's an awesome name and fun villain. It's like the Mario 2 Angry Mask except an entire game based around it.
