Don't worry, Lautrec. I don't think anyone would ever mistake you for a Gonk Droid. :B

I've lost track of how many times I've said this, but I'll say it again: I
really miss the 'applaud' button.
On another note, I thought the blood-drinking was for vampires and their thralls...

One of the ways to identify a witch was to look for the mark, which was the place where the familiar would suck blood from.

Sensible idea, Lautrec. Just be careful out there.
04-04 - The great brain robbery
Might want to check the armory as well. I think Chekhov's Gun might be in stock. :mwaha

Heh.
04-05 - Who is the Master?
I look forward to learning what Primagens and Progenitors are.

I second that. Kinda feels like starting a new RPG and there's a ton of lore books in the tutorial area. Lore(data) dump!
It'll take a few pages to cover this, not least because Quirk gets distracted easily.
And for those wondering, the phrase "Who is the Master?" is a reference to this: https://goonshow.org/goonshow/s8p25/
It was the cue for the guest star.
Could be worse. At least "the" wasn't capitalized. If we were dealing with The Master, our heroes would be in a lot more trouble. :mwaha

Uh oh. Hope Quirk can get himself back under control.

...hopefully the site will come back soon, but if not... Well, migrating to the system running Pax Drac is a definite possibility, though not something I'd do lightly.
04-07 - From minds to mindless
Good to see Quirk was able to get back under control.
Also, for anyone wondering what the originally planned last panel would have looked like, behold: https://pawb.fun/@Tapewolf@meow.social/116355129827459599
I must say that the original panel is nicely "Egyptian" coded, much like the Chozo of Metroid. Sadly, I agree with Tapewolf. Olde Timey art is best saved for "Mysterious Ancients" rather than "Asshole Slaver Ancients".

As I understand it, the creator of the Protogen species is apparently selling socks at Furdu with protogens in that style and UFOs. Merlin was referencing that, I think - which was definitely cute, but didn't really mesh with the ZOR lore I was trying to portray.
