Like Lola, I don’t have much to say on this page just yet.  I’ll probably have more to talk about when we have the context of the next page…

Jacob: Lola. We need to talk. By now you must realize that the world situation has changed. These people want to be part of society...and many countries are willing to sponsor them. Let's all stand down, and we'll negotiate a peace. Please?
Lola: Legs.

    Dance, pardner.

  2. Jago 7 knives says:

    “Legs” Oh well, I will take it as a good sign. Good sign being that Lola may want to talk things thru after all. Cause she didn’t give the order to pulverize Jacob (just cut of his legs with cannon fire!) is a sure sign she wants to talk about it. With Jacob’s legs gone, He and Lola will be in on “equal footing”.

  3. Unmaker says:

    Um… well, at least she isn’t going to kill him outright. Jacob vs. machine, who will win? The lab people made them “faster than Genocide Man” fast but did they factor in a century of combat experience?

  4. Ro'Wan says:

    Why do i see this not going well?
    For Lola that is…
    “Old age and treachery” as the saying goes.
    Both are of advanced age, so it comes down to who’s more treacherous……

  5. QCN says:

    Well, I suppose Jacob is on camera and this is being broadcast around the world.

    Now, how much does Lola think about public opinion? Yeah, thought so…

    Random quote that just popped-up at the top. I miss the rabbit. Always good with the one liners.
