Chapter 10: Page 19 - Coordination Error

Posted by Daniel Sharp / in Comic / 40 comments

New page! I’m on vacation, thus the slightly late posting.

Silly Jane and Tenzin. Communication is just too critical to make too many assumptions about.

T.R.

Though they seem unconcerned with the tank-bot’s barrage. Maybe the PDC’s are *that* good?

Seba: I like the way you split the 4th panel. Not a clean split, but a tear - like something ripped/broke. (Ruh roh, Raggy! )

  Thanks! Daniel has these awesome ideas that when I read I’m like: how the hell I´m supposed to show that?
  
  but that’s one of the things I like more of this comic, the need to push the the possibilities of a page is awesome for me

    The use of 3d to sketch out the page layout, I haven’t seen anyone do that before.
    - Adriano
      
      I know someone who arts using 3d models. For spaceships and his characters, not so sure about whole pages/actions!
      (i mean, they use the 3d software as way to sketch or reference for the normal 2d pics)

I gotta agree with Jane on this one. I’d go after the more maneuverable one, so as to not get flanked by a faster opponent.

Also, with Jane so overworked in just one fight, they should really look into allocating more hardware to her, so she has more processing power.
- Adriano
  
  Tell that to President Smith and some members of Glaucus!
  Would you like to see a colleague working with military AIs get more resources and money than you? Of course not!
  Would you allow the money of the citizens (taxes) go to those stupid brutes of Aegis and arrogant people of Glaucus? Of course not!
  You gotta be real, man. Jane’s screwed (and Angeline, too).
  - Kaiden
    
    If I remember correctly, there were/are several other unused towers in the same room as Jane. I’m sure it’s very possible for Angeline to walk in and “accidentally” turn one on.
    - Matt [in Middletown]
      
      Those were docking stations for Jane’s sisters
      - Daniel Sharp
        
        Correct. And brothers ;P
        
        Also, an unfortunate emphasis on “were” for the most part.

        Oh, I see. Jane is contained in the orb, and the tower is all interface, right?
        
        Wow. That’s a lot of computer packed into a little ball.
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        Quite a bit of data crunching goodness, yes.
      - Kaiden
        
        But can she run Crysis?
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        Armored Warfare at 1080p HD, Crysis, And even classic Shadow Warrior on a DOS emulator.
      - SebasP
        
        Jane is contained in the orb, the tower has extra processing power that she can use. same as the armor. If you take the orb and just plug it to any interface you’d have dumb Jane ( still a super intelligence )

      Possibly, but what would be the consequences?
      Politics, man… Politics…
      - Kaiden
        
        I prefer Tenzin’s approach to politics. E.G. Smash it with power armor until it stops resisting.
      - Adriano
        
        I wish he did this to Smith’s face.
      - Kaiden
        
        Don’t we all.
- Honza Prchal
  
  Well, taking out the heavy early, when they don’t expect it can be done, may make killing the lighter one later much more practical, but I think Kaiden is likely correct.

Today’s page so cool! Great work, Seba!
Yet so horrible!
How could you do that to us, Dan? D’:
- SebasP
  
  thanks!
- T.R.
  
  Dan doesn’t like to talk about it, but he won the George R. R. Martin internship for young authors a few years ago. >:)
  - Daniel Sharp
    
    Just you wait for like two pages from now… >XD
    - T.R.
      
      Then you’re either changing the scene or someone’s about to enter this scene real soon. ‘Cause I don’t see a whole any other living bodies around that you could march into the meat grinder. :)
      
      I’m waiting for Nightshade to show - maybe w/ her fancy rifle to save Tenzin/Jane’s collective, mis-communicating asses?

Sync error.
Please reinstall your Tenzin and update your drivers.

Nice panel with Jne and Tenzin working together… I wonder if Jane has a conscience that’s how she sees herself? How does Tenzin perceives her in the suit?
- SebasP
  
  This particular panel is to represent an idea, Jane takes a lot of processing power to render an image of herself and I doubt she’d be doing it in this battle.
- Daniel Sharp
  
  Hehe. It’s ACTUALLY supposed to show them NOT working well together, but that will probably be more clear by panel 1 of the next page ;)
  - SebasP
    
    when I did thought this one I lamented not thinking before in show them this way. maybe we can edit a page to add a panel

Forgot to call target before moving, Tenzin/Jane are going to end up flat on their collective faces.

Left!
Right!
No left!
RIGHT!

thud
oh the hubris of of failed cooperation.

I would never trust these two to coordinate a party. Just imagine the horror. Clashing streamer colors and everything.
- Keith Schiffner
  
  actually, that would be perfect…

Sorry everyone, out of town, my laptop broke, trying to figure out how to upload the new page when I can’t remember the url for the admin side XD
- Adriano
  
  “laptop broke”
  
  The hell happend?
  I hope it’s not broken as in “smashed to the ground”.
  I also hope you have another laptop if this one’s dead broken.
  Take your time, we can wait a bit, it’s okay :)
  - Daniel Sharp
    
    Nonstop BSOD when I turn it on :/
    
    When I get back in town I can upload it from my work computer, I just am struggling to remember my login information at the moment XD
