[Lazaras]

I'd say he's not thinking with balls. I'd say he's thinking 'we can pump her for information. THEN kill her.'

[Raggmopp]

Then he can revive her later? he has like... 3-4 or more sparks, and more sidekicks... I mean henchmen to help? Who knows what the Foglio's are pulling at...

[Darkhound]

I know everyone hates her, but there are good reasons for taking Zola alive, if possible.

1. She has a great deal of privileged Mongfish information, and Lucrezia's memories, and has studied Loremitress Milvisle's revelations about the Geisterdamen.

2. She has tons of information on the Knights of Jove, especially on the most dangerous faction of them and how deeply they penetrate the Fifty families.

3. She is living proof of the existence of Summoning Engines, which might be enough to get Agatha off Klaus' "execute now" list.

An intelligence asset like that isn't to be killed off lightly, even if she is hateful and difficult to question.

[Raggmopp]

But you only nmeed her brain ofr that. A head on glass would suffice. XD

[Darkhound]

Granted, Raggmopp, but I'm sure starting from dead is the hard way.

[Lazaras]

They can always revivify her.

There is the post-revivification surge to worry about though.

[Raggmopp]

Granted, Raggmopp, but I'm sure starting from dead is the hard way.

You say hard way, I think the sparks say fun way. As the hard way usually needs moar science!!!! Bwah hahaha haahaha!

[Dr. D.P. Nelthorpe IV]

Personally, I hope they don't go off on another "kill them and then bring them back to life" tangent...It's cool, but they already did it.

[Lazaras]

On further thought didn't Maxim say, way back when Lars died, it doesn't always work?

Could by why Gil wants her alive. Trouble is in this instance I'd rather take 'getting rid of one problem that will be a continual issue' rather than 'risk letting said problem get away in the unlikely hope that it can pay out later.'

[Aleister Crow]

I say go ahead and take her alive. No one said anything about intact.

Really, how much of a threat could she be with her arms and legs removed? Or even better, no body at all, just her head hooked up to a life support system.

[Darkhound]

"Alive but not well" makes sense in this case. When the Movedit wears off, she's going to feeel likke Bangladesh DuPree had her in Advanced Enhanced Interrogation for a week anyway.

[Lazaras]

I like your line of thinking. This is a universe where you can realistically have a head in a jar that can still speak.

[Darkhound]

It looks like the a. the Flying Raiment has quite a turn of speed when not overloaded and b. Zola is entering Lurking Menace mode. (After she heals up for a while and maybe gets some repairs done.)

[Aleister Crow]

Heh, poison. Gil just wants to get her corset off.

[Darkhound]

Don't we all? But he has a point, Zola is the type for poisoned weapons. Note that, even in coffee making, Zola is the anti-Agatha.

[Aleister Crow]

I bet if he mentions "sucking out the poison", he gets slapped.

[Lazaras]

She could've just been playing up the dumb blonde bit on that though. Klutzy yet enduring. I rather hope she becomes unstable/insane rather than able to be calm calculating. After all we do have one lucritzia running around in a wonderful clank body.

[Mad Maudlin]

Excuses for fanservice! Whee hah!

[Raggmopp]

I begun rereading the story from page one, and im glad i did. all the stuff i forgot or missed.

This plotyness is amazing! Also Gil probably still INSIST on marrying Agatha for her own safety. Everyone else will try to control her or destroy her... oh wait, the Wulfenbach's looks like there trying to do BOTH!

Yeah, I wonder what will happen next? Will the Jagerkin still want to marry VonPinn now that she is a machine... I guess that makes her more atractive, those guys are loonies.

[Xavier Saint Cloud]

I can certainly see Maxim being taken with her new form (he's the oddest of the bunch really).

I'm truly impressed by Higgs' stamina... I wonder what Mama Glitka did to him.  Also, nice throw back to the hat joke, way back before Gil got into the castle. 

[Raggmopp]

Hey... The other... for there to be a other there must also have been a first? So with if the other is from Mars? Like a clone? Or a different kind of revntant still undiscovered? I mean thats where the heterodyne s went right? to mars? what if they got captured...

When is they gonna do the portal thing again?

XD

[Captain Lyerly]

Who - or what - is HIGGS!  He must be at least a construct.  He took a sword through the guts what - less than half an hour ago?  And he is smoking his pipe and right as rain already...  He is key. 


Cheers!

Chas.

[Raggmopp]

Higg's is a normal marine, he just got some Jagerkin medicine. Like gil did. I mean he just aided the Baron, got broken bouth his arms and his leg before being taken to said care of madam Giska. I guess he been resting for just a few more hours than Gil when recruited for this trip.

[Mr Peter Harrow, Esq]

He did Mama a favour years ago, both Gil and Tarvek are suspicious of his supravitality. All other constructs have evidence of stitchwork their origin is obvious.

Higgs was examined by doctors when he rescued Wufenbach, (and recovered from those injuries in record time) that would have come up then? Hopefully taking Zeetha to Mama's will shine a light on things, Higgs implies Mama knows something of his past. It would also allow the Jaegers to know that the Castle has accepted Agatha.

Perhaps Mama will let slip that Higgs was a foundling discovered in mysterious circumstances, and raised by the Jaegers?. You don't think the Foglio's would give you everything in one go about Higgs?what is the favour he could have done for Mama? That we will find out and it will raise more questions.

How come Jaeger medicine is more effective than a Spark's? Jaeger medicine is for Jaegers, made quite clear as the hospital is on the surface and Mama's below, she patched up injured Jaegers who arn't allowed on the surface

[Raggmopp]

Well this super healing thing might cause stress on the body normal people normally cant handle, mutations or plain death perhaps? or becoming Jagerkin? They are a created race after all.

Aslo guessing that Zeetha's people have been turned to the geiterdamen. Their warrior cultures do seem to match.
