Ah, Konstantin. Life’s hard for you. But hey, you got a second page without having been blown up! ;)

The Russians over on the mirror already figured out where they are. How bout you guys?

Also, can you read the tiny text? It actually has meaningful words :P

Dusty Coyote

I beg to differ. it doesn’t have meaningful words anymore because you’ve gone and made it into pixels. See Attached.

  hmm. Good point.
  
  Hmmm….patreon reward? Hmmm. I think I’ll post it on patreon publicly so people can see it but still have to click over ;)
  - Adriano
    
    You’re so evil Dan ! You and your diabolic plans ! xD
  - DrCrazy102
    
    Nooo! Not the obvious marketing campaign strategy for Patreon! I would help but I have no money, so at least its free while I feel guilty for not supporting. As @adrianowr:disqus said ” you’re so evil Dan”
    - Daniel Sharp
      
      Muahahahahaha! >:D
- Matt [in Middletown]
  
  And typo alert!
  - Daniel Sharp
    
    Oh you’re right! psyChological :D
    - Matt [in Middletown]
      
      Typos seem to occur more often when I hang around.
      So, as in Garry’s Mod “murder” mode, “Your evil presence is showing!” ?
      - Dusty Coyote
        
        This seems like a “Tree falls in the woods” style comment. How would you know?
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        Because I had independent verification.
        A friend sitting in a forum watched as typos spread like an infection upon my arrival.
      - DeNitro
        
        Now I’m jealous, I’ve never gone “viral” before. :-p :-)
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        It is weird to watch typos spread like that.
        Somewhat of a cascade failure in appearance.
        And then you slink away while holding a magazine in front of your face, “Nope, nope nope nope, nuh uh, didn’t do it.”
  - DeNitro
    
    I typo more when under fire…..
- Adriano
  
  I beg to differ. What’s that photoshopped picture of Tenzin ? It lacks of wounds/scars and of depression.
  - SebasP
    
    It is an old picture of Tenzin. at lest previous to Arkjut
    - Adriano
      
      Oh, okay. Thanks.
      - Dusty Coyote
        
        Military bearing. Making military expressionless since formal inspections.

Panel 4: The all new Deathbot Heavy! He sings, he dances, he recites poetry, he brings flowers for little girls and carries puppies!
And all of this for a low introductory price of [redacted] and a monthly subscription to Deathbot Owners Associated!

    The chafing of the bikini is why he rages!

      Thongs for memories…brainwipe, please?
      ;)
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        Oh great, next we will be treated to “exotic dancer deathbot”.
        It doesn’t need to kill anyone to do damage, it will break minds!
      - ReturnOfDaveBro
        
        And poles. Maybe even Poles.
  - TengenMachine
    
    MY EEEEYES!
  - DeNitro
    
    Oh tisk, tisk, no body paint pictures. And ooh does that girl need a sun tan.. LoL
  - SebasP
    
    this picture will never get old
Honza Prchal

Those are very clearly missile silos … I am not happy with such serious damage to a place with ICBMs lying about … since there’s hardly any reason (other than to take out China’s foolishly node-centered rail bridges) to have ICBMs except to destroy city-sized targets with nuclear warheads. Eeek!
- Daniel Sharp
  
  Unless Seba did something without telling me, these are not supposed to be missile silos.

  - SebasP
    
    they are a bit different from the original ones, but no missile silos
    - Honza Prchal
      
      Ah. Hydroelectiric dam turbines … I was fooled by the domes and the old Soviet plans to answer dense-pack models here stateside.
      My bad. Still, not good to see stuff crumbling there, either.
Adriano

Dan, Seb, what’s the point of having a case full of a hundred USB keys ? Is that some fetish ? Seriously, one or two keys should be enough. Plus, if he’s an engineer, he should use external memory/discs. Plus, we’re in the future, so one key should be about 1000 GB.
Seriously guys, you’re deceiving me… Or am I wrong in all the way ?
- SebasP
  
  You are wrong in all the way ;)
  - Adriano
    
    Gh… Buh ;w;
    - Daniel Sharp
      
      Hehe, you’ll see in a couple pages ;P
      - Adriano
        
        Okay, guys, okay. I trust you. I’ll wait and then, I’ll criticize you :P
      - Jack Crow
        
        He picks one at random, inserts it and then types, my guess is it’s a blank page that he is going to mail, off the network. Carrier pigeons! (http://tobba.deviantart.com/art/Robot-Pigeon-216399356)
      - Daniel Sharp
        
        Lol. Definitely courier pidgeons ;p
    - SebasP
      
      there is a very good reason why Konstantin needs so many USB keys. it isnt lack of memory
      - Xylas Incarnum
        
        “The easiest/best place to hide a tree is in a forest” right?

Amberlight

What is this picture on “No video” screen? It looks kind of like Minecraft map.
- Daniel Sharp
  
  What, Konstantin can’t play Minecraft? ;)
  
  Seba can confirm, but I think it’s supposed to be a map of the area around the dam, maybe?
  - Matt [in Middletown]
    
    Konstantin always finds a cave filled with a horde of creepers and gets blasted.
    Every time.
    - Amberlight
      
      More like he plays with Robotics mod and always hase a squad of deathbots with him.
      - sebasp
        
        It is a bassic 3d model of the dam
      - DrCrazy102
        
        Dam, looks a lot like Minecraft (I couldn’t resist XP)
        I was thinking he was designing the landscape for a game or for a death-bot simulation
NickDA

Panel 2 looks so much like Dan it is creepy….
- Daniel Sharp
  
  YOU’RE creepy :P
Chris Kotthoff

Wonder how long Konstantin has been working those Deathbots. Was it concept given to him with exceptions only the good doctor could fulfill or was it something Konstantin was already working on?
Chris Kotthoff

Just notice that one panel has a list of name and addresses in the US (behind the window with Russian text, along with a map of North America behind that) could Konstantin be looking for someone? (loving all the little details guys! )
- Adriano
  
  He’s looking for a new job lol
melaredblu

He doesn’t label his flash drives? Boy is he in for a whole lot of tedium.
Okay, fifteenth one. Plug it in and…dang it, the file’s not in here either. Oh, but hey, the poetry I wrote when I was fifteen is in there! Wow…this is…bad. Really bad. Just gonna delete it.
- Matt [in Middletown]
  
  And that one from Mom that she used as blackmail on date night, the infamous bathtime photos.
- SebasP
  
  no need to.
