Working on your Doctorate in Mad Science? Consider making Girl Genius your dissertation topic.
Honker says OMFG REV ALERT!!! Could Agatha exert her Command Voice to make him heel and spill all the beans? --MadCat221 (talk) 07:47, December 18, 2015 (UTC) Images for Stephanos Tuesday and his assassin have been uploaded but no pages for either of them created. -- Billy Catringer (talk) 12:27, December 18, 2015 (UTC)
The damage is localized and does not involve the brain. Expert medical help is close by. So why is this a problem? -- SpareParts (talk) 02:53, December 19, 2015 (UTC)
- Dramatics. Plus, I think they can put two-and-two together now anyway. Steph assassinated before he could pass on dire news by a man who Honker has quite overtly determined to be a sleeper rev. Though... Steph might have had useful details, but this is enough to raise the alarm with the Master. And Agatha may bust out the Command Voice and order him to tell all the details anyway. He's no Geisterdame high priestess. like Vrin (STOP!)--MadCat221 (talk) 06:57, December 19, 2015 (UTC)
- It's major heart damage, and it will take a while to get to a doctor for humans. He will be brain dead. Even if they have Dr Sun Jen-djieh-level experience it may be a while before he can talk. Agatha and Jenka might not have bed-side access, and the people who first hear him speak might consider the statements deliriums caused by the death instead of factual.

- Because this is (gaslamp) fantasy. It's what the authors want to have happen. You can disagree with their choice but it is their story, not real life. They are the ones unfolding the plot the way they want it presented. Plus, this is, after all, a Heterodyne Story. 75.10.154.233 19:51, December 19, 2015 (UTC)
- "What the authors want to happen" is a poor excuse for lack of in-story consistency. But if he isn't supposed to get revived, that's an easy problem to solve for the authors. Girl Genius' assassins almost always use poison (or exotic diseases), and the thorough ones do seem to either melt or combuste the body. --MasakoRei (talk) 21:01, December 21, 2015 (UTC)
