Ooof. Klaus (and Grantz) do have a lot of experience at restraining Othar ... temporarily. I wonder if any of these delays will be long enough to let the possibly delicate project in the tank fail. Probably not dramatic enough for the story.

So Klaus and Martellus haven't met before? Interesting.

There are hints that Zulenna may be back already, and calling herself the Shrike. Much of the supporting evidence for this comes from Othar's Twitter feed, though, and as mentioned elsewhere that's of uncertain canonicity.

I am confident in the speculation that the project is to load Lucrezia into Olga's vacant body (last seen: https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20060222)

Besides, this is Klaus we're dealing with--the Spark who can improve anyone else's work.

ETA: One wonders if Lunevka (presumably) knows that Olga probably isn't a Spark. Perhaps Klaus neglected to tell her...and if her voice doesn't sound like the real Lu's, once she's in the meat body Klaus doesn't have to obey her.

Olga might be a spark. A number of the circus folks were. I don't think the readers were told either way.
