Changes: Chronology - Volume 2-8

Revision as of 19:50, 2 August 2020

Volume summary: Volume 8 of Act 2

The chronology pages describe the comics to assist scholars in finding the page on which something occurred. For each page of the comic, the chronology pages identify the characters that appear, actions taken, significant quotes, and other things of interest. Page numbers from the website are zero padded to three digits and in parentheses, for example: (005), (061), (113). Page numbers from print volumes are neither, for example: 5, 61, 113. Section titles are from the canon unless otherwise noted.

For historical reasons, volumes 1 (I) through 13 (XIII) are usually identified with Roman numerals on the Girl Genius chronology pages and elsewhere in the wiki. From volume 14 on, the story entered a new "act" and the volume numbers started over, in Arabic numbers, proceeded by a "2-". For example, overall volume 15 is given as volume 2-2 on chronology pages.

For a partial timeline of the events in the comic, see Internal Chronology.

For more information on the double-page spreads in this volume, see double-page spreads in Girl Genius.

For more information on special pages in this volume, see the list of special pages, notes, and annotations.

2020-04-27 (Monday) ✣ Vol.2-8 p. 001 Forum:2020-04-27 (Monday)	Albia, A Great Many Onlookers, Whoever is in the Submarine
	We see a vast chamber that seems to be a ceremonial submarine dock. Banners, which include the Union Jack, are hung above platforms on either side of a channel of water. Albia, who has enlarged herself to titanic size, occupies a higher platform at the back of the scene, fronted by a very broad stairway that extends down to the water. She is wearing armor and bears a trident and a shield emblazoned with a Union Jack. In the central channel, a submarine is approaching the rear dock where Albia is making a speech, welcoming back the submariners. While none of the occupants of the vessel are shown, presumably it contains Agatha and company, members of the Queen's Society Dome Kitchen Staff, Deepdwellers, and so on. On the platforms is a vast crowd of beings gathered to welcome the returning submarine and its occupants. Everyone, except Albia, is drawn to a very small scale, so it is hard to be sure who (or what) they all are, but on the lowest platforms are ranks of what could be soldiers, guards, sailors, and maintenance/support staff. On a higher platform to the left is a crowd of what may be Albia's Octopode subjects ✣ . On a similar raised platform to the right, a brass band is playing. On either side of Albia are people who may be courtiers, dignitaries, visitors, important guests, and other VIPs.

2020-04-29 (Wednesday) ✣ Vol.2-8 p. 002 Forum:2020-04-29 (Wednesday)	Albia, Zentai Ninjas, Sailors, Soldiers(?), Violetta, Martellus, Gil, Agatha, Zeetha, Tarvek, Maxim, Oggie, Agatha's Wasp eater, Krosp, Dimo, Trelawney, His Serenity, Gooblot
	Albia recites the names of those who died and no one who hears her will ever foget them. Agatha and her companions all react to the ceremony in their own ways. His Serenity heads toward his audience with Albia, but is disappointed that "Lady Heterodyne" is not there (although she is). Gooblot reminds him that she is in her "land form" (that is, not longer in the mermaid costume ✣ ). His Serenity acknowlegdes this, but still seems disappointed. Agatha doesn't care for Zeetha's attempt to help.
	Violetta: "What a moving ceremony." Martellus: "Yes. I…still remember all of their names." Gil: "My father once mentioned this. Albia spoke their names. We'll remember those names the rest of our lives." Agatha: "That was amazing." Zeetha: "That's the power of a Queen." Tarvek: "Now, how would you duplicate that?"
