That’s ‘Kill anything that moves’ in Lola battlechair-speak. You’d think that as an evil overlord she’d have a better flair for the dramatic.
Anyway, this is a late afternoon update but it still counts as an update on time. Sorry for anyone who tried to read the comic this morning. This should be the worst of my update jitters; I am moved in with the woman I love and our four dogs, and things should get easier from here on out, knock on wood.
Now I just need to get the last script to Kasey…

Soldier: Now!
Soldier: Focus your fire, crack that shield!
Lola: Target all motion. Free fire.

… Well, maybe Girii could run up from behind Lola’s mech and throw it.
Pop up in FRONT of the gun???
REALLY?
Is Msaka SURE these guys are SOLDIERS?
They could have let her pass and just put a full clip into the back of her head at point blank range….
Jacob doe, they are not.
The happy fun times wheelchair does not fear small arms fire. Retribution package aside, I’m thinking main battle tank is what they should have brought.
Except… Lola probably have a mbt wheelchair as well, for scenic trips outside. With a railgun for the main gun.
Ah, the Doctor Who soldiering technique: never having more than small arms and light infantry before rushing towards the armoured anti-infantry units.
I guess the story wouldn’t be as interesting if someone had a RPG-27 and turned Lola’s Dalek-chair into mush. Like, you know, actual soldiers would have done.
Or set up some mines, a large IED or anything. These guys wear a uniform but are worst fighters than your average Iraqi insurgent.
Same as I was thinking. If I were going up against someone known to be able to take out armies by herself I’d at least have a bazooka or two. Certainly a few grenades to toss under her vehicle.
IED FTW. Lola would have been neutralized pretty easily with one or two kilograms of explosives. Just get her Dalek-chair tipped over by the bang and her concussed to unconsciousness and she’s out of the fight. At which point you just need to neutralize her guns.
Or, hell, balistic shields, anyone? That’s a standard police equipment that would have defeated her nicely.
Or at least an EMP mine or blast zone? I mean they should have been a bit prepared for technology nullification, right???
Silly soldiers, bullets are for infantry.
Though an RPG would actually probably not work on her unless they were really tricky about it. Her guns are capable of shooting people with super-speed, so if she saw it coming she could most likely shoot the missile.
An IED would have a decent shot at it though.
To all the IED/mine/bazooka people out there – they have to worry about what happens when the blast hits the genocide pack. They can’t just shoot her with a bazooka, unfortunately… even if they guessed she would be resistant to small arms fire.
They should have brought something armor piercing though.
And I too am confused about why they are charging directly toward the barrels of her guns. Maybe an ambush from the sides is about to happen? Even so, natural selection is about to happen in a real way to these poor sods.
