Okay, what's topologically similar to knitting socks but less dangerous? Bkharvey (talk) 05:12, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- More dangerous. But topologically speaking, knitting doesn't change anything. The topology of a skein of yarn is the same as the topology of a sock made from a single piece of yarn. Which is the same as the topology of any component of a magic trick that doesn't involve actual cutting/tearing/breaking, and the topology of a student in teaching (if you don't get to the level of neurons changing) or of a lion in lion taming.

- But from the perspective of knot theory (a branch of topology which would apply if you connect one end of the yarn making up the sock to the other) ... I suppose it still doesn't change anything, since I guess you can unravel the sock and still not have a knot. So... Okay, we know kids love vozzlers. Maybe vozzlers do one or more interesting things with threads (perhaps time threads) without changing the topology. ⚙Zarchne (talk) 20:46, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Well, the Professors are tickling the Experimental Subjects again with what a Vozzler does. I guess it'll be revealed someday.
- About the same time we learn what exactly Gomorrity entails. So we have two items for a list of that category; I'm sure there are many others. "Nonce word referents and other mysteries." ⚙Zarchne (talk) 20:24, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Must be a Heterodyne cultivar on the Snail berries, that ripen in late winter.
Strategic advantage? Hmmmm, Denial of the resources of Mechanicsburg, including the Castle, and Lucrezia's Secret Lab with the alternative to the Summoning Engine. And it could be something else we haven't seen yet. After all, Otilia was chained up in some forgotten hallway until Lucrezia found her. Doug Relyea (talk) 05:18, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Lucrezia will develop Time Travel, someday. Securing a Mechanicsburg frozen in Time would be very desirable. Bosda Di'Chi 11:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
I think Tarvek's face in panel 1 looks like it was drawn by Picasso. Svesjo (talk) 05:27, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah good point. But, in panel 4, I guesss he doesn't know about Grandmother working with Zola? Which is confusing since Grandmother is said to hate the Other. Bkharvey (talk) 07:26, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- The snailberries may ripen in the spring. You probably develop a long view of time being a Jäger, and spring is coming. Argadi (talk) 09:32, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
- I still feel that the timing was far to convenient for Albia. I'm not sure the Polar Lords are attacking. Or if they are, I think Albia started it somehow. 68.40.63.173 14:20, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
Seffie slipped to Tarvek that Grandma was focused on Zola before she shipped him off. Has he forgotten? A good way for Seffie to prove her worth there too. 'Black' Victor Cachat (talk) 14:27, 9 April 2021 (UTC)
