Sometimes a nice pause is needed.  I could explain what we’re pausing between, but that would be telling.  🙂

↓ Transcript
Jacob: Speaking of brutal -- does Lola know that you heard about the Jian Shi?
Caera: Yes.
Jacob: Then she ordered you to fight me?
Caera: It was my choice. She allowed it.
Jacob: Hate to tell you this, kid, but Lola sent you here to die.
Caera: I don't believe that.
Jacob: No? Then what happened to your drone support?

    Well, that’s a sickly realisation.

  2. Tim says:

    That demonstrates a startling lack of situational awareness…

  3. Toxic Del says:

    Tim, I couldn’t have stated it better.

  4. Toxic Del says:

    Another thing I like about this comic is that the main protagonist looks just like my father. He’s 84 years old, and is still kind of a badass. Makes me wonder if there are things he’s not telling me…

    “You done got SET UP sweetheart”
    And I’m willing to bet Exit was IN on the whole thing……………………
    this CAN’T be the first time Lola has done this
    She was provbably hoping that either Caera would kill Jacob and then the Jian Shi would get her, or that they wold both fall under the Jian Shi push…………….
    Two birds, one super soldier stone………….

  6. CapnCoconuts says:

    I knew it was weird that Lola allowed Caera to fight Jacob.

  7. Crorem says:

    How does Caera know that Lola knew? Did she assume that Trilby told Lola about her stunt in the camera room?

  8. God of Cows says:

  9. Ming the Merciless says:

    Situational awareness…When interviewing a pilot, the chief used to have a sexy secretary bring up something…If the interviewee did not glance away and stayed concentrated on the chief, it was assumed he lacked situational awareness, a severe handicap for a pilot that must be aware of a great many things so not to hit mountains when maneuvering in traffic, high hills, thunderstorms and scant navigating facilities…

  10. --jt-- says:

    It seem your chief was terribly unfair to those fly-boys still in the closet.

  11. Ming the Merciless says:

    The front end crews are generally straight while the back end crews are pretty queer, just like models and movie actors…each kind tend to gravitate to its flock…birds of a feather…etc…We did have one boss that was homo…but the story ended pretty badly, like in all highly competitive environments…drawn knives and all that…

    This is going to really ugly really fast.

    ZA-CRACK!
