The only difference between an author/artist and a psychopath is that an author/artist comes back to reality.

Hmn, maybe a bit too much glow from the table light in this one.  I guess I have J.J. Abrams lens flares on my mind…along with John William’s Imperial March.  It’s killing me that I won’t see the new Star Wars movie until Christmas Eve, when I’m in Philadelphia with my family.  🙂

↓ Transcript
Msaka: Kentaro is deep in the tunnels. I saw Girii near the terminal building.
Jacob: Thanks.
Msaka: Before you go, Jacob, can I ask you a tactical question?
Jacob: Sure.
Msaka: What do you think of our situation?
Jacob: Grim.
Msaka: You think everything is grim.
Jacob: Well, this is grimmer than usual.
Msaka: Really. Why?
Jacob: You're making a suicide charge on the most dangerous agency that ever existed. Lola could vaporize you, or release a plague that sterilized Britain...or she could wait for any G.U.S. militia to get you. Knowing Lola she's going to invent a new way to kill you all. Having thousands of guinea pigs walk up to her door is her childhood dream come true.

  1. Jordan says:

    It’s true, they are pretty much charging headlong into a mad scientist’s headquarters. Given that said scientist also has global support in terms of funds, equipment, personnel etc. Jacob is right to be pessimistic.

  2. Unmaker says:

    Ouch. So, the option is dying a slow death where they are or a suicide charge into the nastiest agency on Earth. Crazy indeed.

  3. Ming the Merciless says:

    What about the plague that Kendaro’s “daddy” already unleashed? Supposed to eventually only leave the three genociders alive…

  4. SCAScot says:

    …and that’s the good news.

  5. ghostwhitehorse says:

    Wonder if Kentaro can hack Lola’s chair. . .

  6. Z00l00k says:

    So if she likes guinea pigs, then give her that literally.
