Comic 148 - Complications...
Author Notes:
*** ALSO atist note- YES I know Amys hair is suppose to be black, When i recovered her from the HD crash I forgot and the page was assembled and finished before Rose reminded me that her hair is black - so Sorry >_< Her hair will be black from now on :)
Artist: No, it's fine.
Writer: *displays previous pic of Amy with black hair*
Artist: Oops. Um. I can fix it.
Writer: You going to re-shoot?
Artist: No, no, I can just color correct it in Photoshop!
Writer: . . . are you sure?
Artist: It'll be fine!
It was not fine.
...but since Galina is the first one that cannot be. :)
I wonder if dr. granger just had a bad day or if he always is that rough.
*hugs May, Galina and Amy*
Later DC Andriods follow more Galina's Pattern than Amy's ( whos suppose to have black hair )
Poor Galina's WORST nightmare, Dr. Granger. Dragging Galina's SECOND worst nightmare with him, the robot girl. And she can't run away either... Not good at all.
That said, he can certainly have an opinion about her .. and he's probably gonna be an ass and share his opinion with her as well, much as she would rather that he didn't.
Please please please Galina don't let May leave, for your own safety...
Is anyone other than me not seeing the TWC vote button?
Now, you MIGHT be onto something about Douchebag though. :-)
I believe she just was trying out a new hair color...
PS: a happy new year to all
*HUGS* It is okay CentComm. Not a big deal. We still want to read your and Rose's comics. :-)
She is just standing under the germicidal ultraviolet entry lights.
Also (under current technology) any strands that DO change colors under UV are a pale white, not black. Someone may have licked the problem of the material needing to be pale white. Still while it is possible, I doubt that is the right answer. :-)
Now MAY on the other hand might be a 10th Dan in Karate for all we know. The Doctor might find out how to fly without wings. :-D
I was of the impression that she was a bit faster / dextorous ?
That's why they're obnoxious.
I still hold that he's smart enough to know that some very high ranking people have taken an interest in Galina and won't hurt her purely out of self preservation.
Alternatively they could put EDICT on guard ... hrmm ... I wonder what happened to him, we haven't seen him in ... well, since forever.
I guess we will wait and see, but the fact he has his own design with him bodes poorly for Galina in this encounter I fear. :-7 I'm afraid he is going to want to tear into Galina and do a comparison with his own design.
As for Edict, yes we haven't seen him in a while. Unfortunately, I fear while he is loyal, he would be limited to what he could do to AUTHORIZED personnel. So Granger could tell him to stand down and he would have to. We need the Captain to show back up and put a couple bullets into Granger, somewhere in his over inflated ego. :-D
TL;DR:
He does not care about Galina, but he does not want to mess with the high ranking people who protects her. Self-Preservation at it's finest.
Weirdly, in a grotesque twist of fate, he's probably the most qualified person on the base to be diggin' around inside Galina. technically speaking.
Alternatively, I'm not sure Granger is that much better than Jet would be. Wouldn't be the FIRST time someone with the title was leaning on an assistant that had already surpassed them. :-)
As far as Jet being better, I doubt it.
Jet's a skilled guy, for sure, but he hasn't had several years in his chosen field to hone his skills and in the matter of handling very advanced machines/equipment/biologicals, experience *do* matter a whole lot.
I have a full telecommunications education + extra courses, plus several years of experience and you'd be surprised at the kind of mistakes I see people who just came out of basic training will do. Even in areas where they should be perfectly proficient, they still make faults aplenty.
Experience counts for a lot and a lot.
I've also seen it lead to the 'experienced' individual to fall in love with a pet theory and then try to make the facts fit their preconceived notion. Whereas someone without the experience can approach it without any preconceptions and see a truer picture of the situation.
Guess we will see what Granger actually does shortly. :-)
Same with people who have been working for 30+ years can have a hard time adjusting to new tech and keep thinking in "old tech" ways.
However, an old experienced techie that *doesn't* fall into those traps, and keeps up with new tech, is a force to behold once he gets "in the zone" and really gets down to brass tacks!
I claim "Way of speech" excuse here !
That said, brass tacks are literally still used in some places, in the exact way that the idiom originated.
Heck, take the ancient viking long ships, a replica of one of those is among the top ten fastest ships in the world in it's size class - Those things were FAST !
Old != Outdated
[I'd also like to point out that Galina's opinion of the perhaps 'not so good doctor' is based entirely on hearsay.]
But sure, he has the opportunity to redeem his reputation by being better than the rumors say he is. HEck, even with an abrasive personality, he could still be perfectly professional and withold judgement until he has all his facts straight.
Then again, he might not.
Time will tell, I guess.
...though I doubt that he will be better...
I say, when she gets back, Captain Yukimura should immediately replace whoever she had posted to guard the door with someone trustworthy and detain the current one(s) into the nearest cell block for dereliction of duty!
And if the Captain did NOT station someone to guard the door or at least monitor from security cameras to alert her, then shame on her.
I'm reminded of those guards in DC in the Black Palace, whom the Prince told to take a hike. Kali was none to pleased with how it was handled...
