Talk:Ulysses Engine

I don't get it
I have always been confused by Sanaa's reference to the Ulysses engine reference. It seems to be a joke on Phil's part, but I don't really get it. It implies that time travel is already commonplace, or at least known, in the Girl Genius universe, so why didn't Klaus and Bang say, "Oh, Agatha/the Other must have a Ulysses engine," when they were talking about the Time windows.

Also, what does it mean that Sanaa took 13 years to go 25 km? Is she 13 years older than she should be? Or younger? If so, Othar certainly doesn't comment on it.

I suppose it would be typical of Phil to arrange for a seemingly throwaway line to be a vital clue to unraveling the end of the story, though.
