Bored? Looking for something useful to do? There's plenty of wiki editing you can do.
OK, glad to see I was wrong and the story continues. And while implausible, this is better than her somehow later getting extracted from the time-stop. -Geoduck42 (talk) 04:21, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- "Key character rescued off-camera by a well-known, hyper-competent, veteran sargeant" is something that falls in the same level of believability as "Key character rescued off-camera by Othar Tryggvassen (Gentleman Adventurer!)". As in, willing to roll with it.AuthYY (talk) 09:38, 23 September 2024 (UTC) (who was tempted to create an alt account just so this comment were signed by Sargeant Schlock)
Anyone guessing option #2 from Friday's discussion page gets a gold star. Dperra.sr (talk) 11:04, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
Alright... I'll accept the Deus Ex Machina. Or Sergeant With a Machine, in this case. Even though we know from this panel that Red Cathedral is too far from a gate to get out in 30 seconds or less (let alone the RIGHT gate where the thorn wall was open). But why, out of all the possible soldiers - especially the ones a bit closer to the ground - did Sergeant Scorp decide to save HER? Why did he have somebody severely injured dive out of a 3rd story balcony onto a motorcycle to flee? For now, I'll chalk it up to the "Leave no one behind" mantra and hand wave it as she was the last soldier who hadn't gotten herded toward the gate. Also, a couple links to Sergeant Scorp just in case we forgot about him hanging out with Black Squad recently.DLcygnet (talk) 15:10, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- I'd say they had more than 30 seconds; Tweedle kidnaps Agatha and has time to run all way down into the depths of the Cathedral and find the Mirror before Klaus actually pushes the button on the Take Five. -Geoduck42 (talk) 15:27, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Defiantly more than 30 seconds. Also, I believe the Thorn wall or at least parts of it might have been outside the Take 5 effect. Gil did mention that his team was having to trim the Thorn wall back to keep it in check. Why would it need to be pruned if it was time stopped? Dperra.sr (talk) 15:48, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Why Ruxala? Maybe Scorp thought she was key to getting the Vespiary Squad fully functional. Argadi (talk) 17:41, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- Catching up on the forums here, but it did seem that she was second to Dr. Bren (who died in the attack on the airship) in terms of chief weasel scientist. MTBinDurham (talk) 16:08, 30 September 2024 (UTC)
We also learned that her squad was sheltered near Mechanicsburg in the same cave systems that the Jagers and other residents of Mechanicsburg used. Dperra.sr (talk) 02:03, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
