"My ... er ... passengers."

Agatha's eyes are looking downward in the last panel. That could support the Krosp theory.

Personally given the way he says "er ... passengers" makes me think dingbots.....

You think the two pages (or whatever) would look so concerned over dingbots? They look like they don't want any part of the "passengers".

Wooster said constructs. "a significant number of constructs."

"er...passengers" implies non-human and unusual

Dingbots are non-human and unusual :)

And a sea of them would certainly be a significant number.

I suppose I may be missing the distinction between clank & construct, but we'll see.

Clanks are mechanical - robots

Constructs are biological - Frankenstein's monster
Jägers are constructs but are a special class of construct. Everybody knows what a Jäger is. No character has called them constructs.

I would be alarmed by dingbots on my ship. They'd probably be getting into everything and swiping parts to build more dingbots.

(But yeah, they're clanks, not constructs.)

Dingbots was my first thought given the "er... passengers", but I don't think Agatha's reaction really goes with that.

Gil and Tarvek are utterly adorable together in that panel. :-)

She is in an elevated booth. She is looking down in the first panel The second panel shows she is not at ground level.

I think we aren't going to find out for a while, but her "oh" strikes me as a realization - Krosp and Dr. Vapnoople just stepped onto the ramp, flanked by two bipedal bears.
