Agatha Heterodyne and the Voice of the Castle

The seventh volume of Girl Genius begins with news of Agatha arriving in Mechanicsburg, followed shortly by her own arrival there. Once in Mechanicsburg, she makes her way to the Castle. In the meantime, we see Gilgamesh Wulfenbach fending off assassins who are targeting his injured father Klaus Wulfenbach, and we see a Pink Airship disgorge a false Heterodyne claimant. In Mechanicsburg, Agatha builds a Coffee Machine, which proves to be sufficiently impressive as to convince Carson von Mekkhan to enter the Heterodyne family crypt and submit to an uncomfortable procedure to obtain information for Agatha on what she will need to do once inside the Castle. The volume ends with Agatha entering the Castle in plain sight, despite danger from the plotters backing the false Heterodyne, and despite the Castle being guarded by Wulfenbach forces with orders to keep her out, by disguising herself as a convict sentenced to the Castle.
