[edit]
|
| Parson stands in the foreground facing Wanda, who is standing among a large horde of uncroaked and glancing back at him over her shoulder. | [edit] |
|
Parson Gotti: Arright. We're stable, we're safe. We need a perimeter. Wanda, set up a Safety Dance.[1] | [edit] |
| Parson talks to Maggie, who is holding both hands up to her temples. They are followed by a large group of uncroaked units. | [edit] |
|
Parson Gotti: So, this'll be the last of the last stands. How many enemy units are left? Not counting Charlie's? Maggie: Most survivors are wounded... But at least 3000 are not croaked or incapacitated. | [edit] |
| Parson curls his lip unhappily as he holds up his bracer and does some calculations. | [edit] |
|
Parson Gotti: Then we didn't get enough. No, nowhere near. Nowhere near. Sound: pip pip pip | [edit] |
| Parson addresses Sizemore and one of his golems. | [edit] |
|
Parson Gotti: Who's running the Coalition now? Doesn't matter. The real question is: will they attack? Or will they end turn and wait for Charlie to help-- | [edit] |
| The tunnel wall bursts open near Parson, and a enemy trooper riding a wiener-rammer bursts through. | [edit] |
|
Parson Gotti: Dude! FoxMUD on Weiner-Rammer: Glory to FoxMUD! | [edit] |
| The wiener-rammer rears up and bares its teeth as the FoxMUD trooper[2] pulls the reins with one hand and brandishes a sword with the other. In the foreground, Parson raises his own sword. Maggie stands behind him, her hands glowing with violet-tinged energy as she prepares a spell. | [edit] |
|
FoxMUD Trooper: Target the Warlord! Parson Gotti: Oh, man. Learn by doing... Maggie: Hoboken.[3] | [edit] |
| A blast of energy strikes the FoxMUD trooper as a slash decapitates the wiener-rammer. | [edit] |
|
Sound: KI Sound: HACK | [edit] |
| The FoxMUD trooper sits up as one of the golems leaps into the fray with a huge axe. | [edit] |
| FoxMUD trooper: Titans... | [edit] |
| A quick flash of motion. | [edit] |
| Sound: QUERN[4] | [edit] |
| Sizemore comes running up as Parson addresses him. The golem stands by impassively, its task of the moment done. | [edit] |
|
Parson Gotti: So. Right. They're coming. The tunnels aren't secure now, I guess? Sizemore Rockwell: This is a Level 1 city now, Warlord! We're so porous, anyone can walk in! | [edit] |
| Parson raises his sword and turns to shout out some orders. In the foreground, a mass of uncroaked and gobwin units stand facing toward him. | [edit] |
|
Parson Gotti: All right, boop this. Wanda! Fall back to the Portal Room and tighten that perimeter 'til it holds! Call it the last... | [edit] |
| Parson dramatically whips off his 3-D glasses. Beside him, the golem brandishes the shaft of its axe. | [edit] |
|
Parson Gotti: Of the last of the last stands. Golem: YyyyeeEAAAAhhhh! [5] | [edit] |
Notes
- ^ "The Safety Dance" was a 1982 single by the group "Men Without Hats".
- ^ The appearance of the FoxMUD trooper (particularly the red lighting bolt down the face) is a reference to Ziggy Stardust, a persona created by David Bowie during the early 1970s.
- ^ This is a reference to the "hadouken" attack from the Street Fighter games, in which a pulse of "ki" energy is sent flying at an opponent.
- ^ A "quern" is a stone used for hand-grinding.
- ^ This panel is a reference to the opening scene of CSI Miami in which David Caruso delivers a one-liner and then "Won't Get Fooled Again" by The Who starts playing.
