When the AI Apocalypse and the Zombie Apocalypse are one and the same.  :erk
Conservative Democrat or Liberal Republican: You decide!
The Centrist line has moved a long way to the Right over the years.

I'd argue that's a horribly shallow argument, except it's completely true. ~ooklah

Both scenarios see you threatened by mindless creatures with a horrid smell. (And I'm not talking about the computer in the AI scenario)

03-02 - Quirk is a protogen of few wants

Hope Quirk's got an exit strategy. Assassinating an emperor tends to carry grave risks.

Has Quirk actually killed anyone yet or does he just have the implants causing the danger?

He has definitely killed some of the low-ranking crew, but I couldn't say how many were while he was lucid and how many were while he was in murder mode.

03-05 - Quirk's new look

PTSD induced by a black leather maid outfit. He really HAS been around Cubi!

Yeah, and unless I misremember the original writing, the next page will have Xerian going in depth about that ordeal.

03-06 - Lautrec still doesn't understand most of it

I honestly don't remember if Lautrec has used pronouns to describe themself, and I don't have the time today to check. Anyone like to go archive diving to make sure we don't misgender the kitty?  :<

All the panthers identify as male except for Lily, who was an experiment in "Well, what happens if we make one female anyway?".

In the origin story which hasn't yet been done as a comic, it's revealed that the original biological panthers were vat-grown so their makers didn't really need female ones, and indeed they didn't want them reproducing by themselves.

Sensible plan. I look forward to meeting Lily if she ever appears in any stories.

Lilly was a semi-regular character in Project Future - introduced on page 116, she also turns up later around page 563 for a few pages, and there were a few other points in the original story that didn't make it to the comic.

After Project Future, Azrael returned to Ha'Khun and brought Lilly with him.  Her most recent appearance is in "I, Panther" where Niall calls her up to prove to A-SMV that she really has gone somewhere good and it's not a euphemism for her being scrapped.
