When I said we had some character beats to hit before the end of the chapter, maybe I should have said character ‘screech’. I’d use another sound effect, but what sound does it make when someone hulks out?

Jacob: We'll have to double back, find a street that isn't blocked off...
Msaka: I could leap over the wall and bring back aid.
Jacob: You'd have to bring back an army. Then we'd be in the middle of a war.
Roger: Aren't we already? If we turn around, will the planes start crashing again?
Jacob: Don't know. Can't be helped.
Msaka: You and I should just purge Little China. End this treason. Leave the streets littered in bodies.
Jacob: There's always the risk of catching a lucky bullet. But that might be our best strategy. Just kill 'em all.

That was totally unexpected. Great solution though.
whoa – very very unexpected … and she has such designs on being a lady with a wonderful wardrobe .. . – it’s an very unfortunate term but ‘mutton dressed as lamb’ or ‘She-hulk dressed as Psylock’
“Mr. Doe, don’t make me angry. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.”
Okay, I was wrong when I misttok “glands” for cybernetics,but this time…
If this strenght was genitcal, Jacob would know about it, would he?
Or it might be something connected to her emotional turmoil. People in great fear or pain can accomplish amazing things.
Inuits, though rather short, are very strong…related closely to Mongols, remember Mongol bows having twice the range of everybody else, same as steel crossbows…
So a big one would be hard to stop!
Patience, now. Girri’s strength is just another mystery that you’ll have to wait to uncover. Remember, we’re on chapter 5 of about 24. We’re still juggling questions in the air. 🙂
Y’ken, I never wondered, but now…why’s her nose horizontal with a 90° downfall?
I’m looking forward to many more chapters, though. Nice to know, keep on going.
I plead artistic license on the hooked nose. 🙂 You’re lucky I’m not drawing Doonesbury schnozzes.
She have to have some Indian blood, Inuits have stubby noses, Indians have great big hooked noses, like eagles in a power dive, and many are huge…
thus the Windigo legends.
Alternatively, her nose might have been broken and never set properly or rhinoplastied back into shape. No violence necessary; a fall off of a swingset or a slip on some ice and that’s all it takes.
Or it could be a side-effect of the genetic manipulation her people did.
I did try to draw the rest of Girii’s tribe with the same nose. Make of that what you will.
(Wow, my art has gotten visibly better in the past two years. Cool.)
Huh! Who’d thought it’s two years already, that’s a long time.
With your artistic skills improving like that, only the sky is the limit! (…for that noses.)
Btw, how many books are you planning?
Three books, about 8 chapters each. The first book is ‘Early Retirement’, the second is ‘Children of Genocide’, and the third…has a title that would be a spoiler at this point.
