I'm fairly sure he harbors that same hope.

Is that .... a hive engine?

[bunsen_h]

Well, it's globular. But apart from that, it doesn't bear any resemblance to the hive engines we've seen. It could be a Type III.

[spectrum_09]

No.

So, a cloning jar.
Probably to circumvent via transfer his body being compromised.
Of course, he will still emerge as a dangerous lunatic who had to entangle his brain further in attempts to circumvent mind control, so…
Also, we still haven’t seen Olga 2.0? Huh.

[spectrum_09]

No.

Someone's attempted translation from another fan site.

"He came back gilgamesh go (walk back?) and father came back, ask every clank lad I wanna fix a new body in a tank making (noobrint?) up (?) bring in a tank body in a big lab.. Is gonna work and see (or she?) in command of the whole ship and empire and everything! It's bad!"

He's making a new body for Lucrezia.

[kelkyag]

Klaus potentially had two and a half years to work this (depending on when the black squad was called in to retrieve him), which is far longer than it took to regrow Olga's body (though perhaps he had to build the tank from scratch). What else has he been up to meanwhile?

[spectrum_09]

Gil became Baron when Klaus froze himself in Mechanicsburg. He was absent after he went to England to recover Tarvek. But Boris would have been in charge of the Castle. He leaves the Castle to go to Paris https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20210716 to inform Gil of the Polar Loard's attack.
So who's in charge of the Castle then? is this where Klaus gets removed from Mechancisburg?

[kelkyag]

Captain Patel and/or Colonel Chakraborty? Probably Patel, given that Patel has authority to interfere with Chakraborty's dispatches.

My guess is that Klaus was removed from Mechanicsburg quite a while ago.

(depending on when the black squad was called in to retrieve him)

Some of them are still in the town, so very recently.

[kelkyag]

The Black Squad doesn't have a standard relationship with time. Do they experience events in the same order that the protagonists do? They seem to age more slowly, but maybe they're just skipping stuff rather than being out of order.

Also the group Captain Dal was with arrived relatively recently, while the "guys that went after your dad are pro'lly long gone by now.

I'd be surprised if Klaus hadn't pre-arranged a black squad to retrieve him and bring him to a well-secured lab if/when he called for the time stopper.

Also the group Captain Dal was with arrived relatively recently, while the "guys that went after your dad are pro'lly long gone by now.

I read it as those being another part of the same larger group. Otherwise why they are even here? They are not doing anything else. And why would anybody on this team be in the need to know they are doing it at all?
Also, Agatha asked Dal «where were you supposed to take him?», and his answer was that it’s officer level need-to-know, not that it was another team entirely.

The Black Squad doesn't have a standard relationship with time

Well, yes. But how long can they just mess around in the town playing hide-and-seek… after the primary objective is already done?

I'd be surprised if Klaus hadn't pre-arranged a black squad to retrieve him and bring him to a well-secured lab if/when he called for the time stopper.

The entire point was to keep himself contained because he was under hostile control. Otherwise why go there personally at all?
And why would they have the secondary objective to grab Gil (even if Klaus predicted he can go in)? Klaus already gave him the clank guard.

[elmegil]

I don't think it's "clank lad"

not sure what the "CLENK" is but
ENKLADIWANNAFIXANOOBODDII
seems to possibly parse as
ENK LADI WANNA FIX A NOO BODDII
....

oh....
CLANK LADY.

yeah, Lucrezia.

Edit:

A SKEERY CLENK LADI WANNA FIXA NOO BODDI
INNA TUNK MEKKING NOO BRIN TU POOT BRIN INNA TENK BODDI INNA BEEG LAB!

[turbobeholder]

Ah. Looks like it. Except we have seen what befell the “clank lady”.

[elmegil]

Thank you for that. Wowwwww. That's a callback.

[marycatelli]

I wonder if Olga's body will show up again.

[bunsen_h]

The link is broken, with an appended 's'. The correct link is this.

[marycatelli]

Ah, the Baron.

In perfect Baronly form.
