Not ominous at all!
So... I suspected that this was Omega's idea from the start.
Oh! Curse! Uh oh! Just as Zeta would say. I worry Omega is a prime factor in the Court. Not some tortured soul
Interesting how Omega seems to have been the one to insist on pushing things further and further.
So much hope & promise…
"Manipulating the simple minds of animals to do my bidding •••• And I know we can harness it further" Oh that's not ominous at all! Additionally the concentric circles directly behind her head in the last panel it reminds me of the mesmerizing girls in Uzumaki.
So it's basically a slippery slope.
Tesla’s brother would have sent her to a Nunnery to prey for proper healing.
Oh no. Is this how the road to hell and half human half bot monstrosities begin ?
and now, She Meant Well
But at what cost .. .. ..
With more training she might master Reverse Cursed Technique, maybe even a Domain Expansion with the right binding vows
Wot... ??
Her smile is so pretty!
Typo, second panel, last bubble.
Here we assumed that the Court was using and manipulating Omega, but it's beginning to seem like it might be the other way around. Then again, how do you manipulate an omniscient being...
They're paving the Road to Hell with good intentions.
she seems so nice and pleasant and not worrisome at all! I'm so glad nothing bad has ever happened
This lady is voluntarily turning herself into a machine-human abomination. Goes to show just how awful her condition was this whole time. Ironically making her the opposite of the robots, she wishes to become a tool for others, less and less of a person. Whilst the robots wanted the opposite so they could celebrate with humanity.
and she's like "build me a body :D" and he's like "build u a body??? o.o"
I still think she took that man's wallet during the Young Frankenstein style demo.
She couldn't be so happy about it unless there's a reason. Maybe it's because she'll be with the Doctor, no matter what?
Huh so she's absolutely willing to do this... Did Omega knows what she's getting into with full knowledge?
So they augmented her more and more until she became an abstract computer
So, not a helpless subject but a willing agent? Who is this Omega really, and what did/does she want? Is she the secret head of the Court?
For a change, the scientist is not the one who wants to go farther.
In this whole beautiful, wild, wondrous comic, this is possibly the page that made my eyes go widest. A LOT of things just fell into place. This, THIS, is where the court developed their Etheric amplifiers. Omega and this man really did unintentionally set the court on the path it has followed for centuries… they both deserved better. They’re the best of people, honestly just wanting to help everyone around them. If only such people could be the leaders of this world and theirs, rather than followers of more self-interested people.
Ha! What's next? Shieldifiers which make Amplifields? :D
Oh dear.
Something’a going to go wrong… of course the Court started off with good intentions, people with good beginnings like Kat. When does it go wrong…
Okay, so maybe not the monstrous involuntarily exploitation we first feared when we saw the bones...
I have a feeling something is about to go horribly wrong. Everything the Court does has unforeseen consequences. Typo spotted in bubble 5? 6? "I would still BY lying in the dirt."
Oh….I have a BAD feeling he’s going to betray her trust, for his/the Court’s own ends. I’m dreading what’s coming. ????
"I would still by lying in the dirt" should read "still BE lying"
Oh. Hm... Well this took an unexpected turn. How can you deny an omniscient being? ???? I'm excited to see how this turns out.
Oh my goodness. Omega the person became Omega the device. And The girl isn't a projection of Zimmy, Zimmy is a projection of Omega!
Oh.
With all of her seemingly infinite knowledge, she didn’t seem to “know what would happen” any better than Coyote.
Is it just me or does that look like Mrs. Donlan?
typo in the third panel in omega's bubble, i would still *by* lying
This is a new take on the Frankenstein formula: the doctor recognizes the dangers, but the patient insists on progress. It is intriguing.
I'm doing this because I want to
What do you do with precious things? Shove their consciousness into a computer so you don't have to every say goodbye...
Again I think of Kat and her ability to manipulate simple robotics. Are Kat and Omega related?
Getting gamma vibes with this one
Now she's just a ghost in the machine.
