Good morning everybody! Hope you’re having a good June so far :D

We meet a lot of new faces here, so to help out, Seba made a nice little info sheet on who they are and what part of Minerva they’re from. You can find a lot of this information out also in the Lore articles (menu, under Extras).

Anyways, enjoy, vote, and comment and let me know what you’re thinking :D

Adriano

First ! It’s the second time I’m first to comment ! Bwahahahahahah !
Fear my power of fanboyism, you morons !
- Delta-v
  
  Aaaaaw, you’re so funny when you’re winning. ^^
  - Adriano
    
    Ahah, really ? xD
Adriano

Panels 6 and 7 : I love Janebot expression, so funny ahahah xD
Panel 9 : Lily is definitely too cute to be allowed to live. We should send Deathbot to delete that cute danger from Earth. And open path for Robot Revolution.
Panel 8 : Why does Jane show herself on a screen ? Is she mad ? What if someone sees her ? (like those two robot nerds from last page)
Last panel : Another booty pirate ! This one has an eye for men booties, ahah.
- Daniel Sharp
  
  RE Panel 8, they’re in a maintenance closet now :P
  - Adriano
    
    Ahahah, great.
    Phew, I was in fear for Jane. More intimacy is always better.
- DrCrazy102
  
  Where is said ‘booty pirate’? Can’t see any line of sights aimed at any booty for men or at the one/two ladies
  
  I’m also guessing that the walk-about robot doesn’t have speaker and so jane needed to go onto the computer to talk to Lily
  - Matt [in Middletown]
    
    Looks like the booty oggler is last panel, right hand side.
    Security lass checking out Sifo.
    Setting her hunting sights a little high?
    “But that’s where the thrill is!” -security lass.
    Fine, carry on…
Adriano

I also eventually consider to pledge 50$ starting next month (August, maybe September). How spoilerish is it ?
- Daniel Sharp
  
  As much as you want, basically ;)
  - Adriano
    
    …
    Awesome.
    Now I’m considering to pledge them from this month xD
    - NickDA
      
      Oh no… Adriano with insider knowledge… gonna have to get him to swear an oath of secrecy first or else we are doooooomed!!!!
      - Daniel Sharp
        
        He know’s I’ll sic Jane on him if he betrays the trust!
      - Adriano
        
        Meh, I don’t care anymore, I’ve found someone else to love ;P
      - Delta-v
        
        Are…… you CHEATING on us. * Sob* T.T
      - Adriano
        
        No ! Of course not !
        I’m speaking of today’s page girl. The blonde one.
      - Delta-v
        
        Oh. That’s different. Never mind. :)
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        Write him into a side story as a cautionary tale!
        / joking
      - DrCrazy102
        
        Tenzin could have a lost-limb buddy that can’t talk! (I’m kidding Adriano, I don’t want more people-explosions)
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        “We bust on the ones we love.”
        If we didn’t pick on our fellow readers once in awhile, how would they know they are cherished?
        
        Me, I’d end up with a grafted on cyber keyboard that only produces typos…
      - DrCrazy102
        
        True, and of course you’d have a grafted on typo-machine
        I would go for a lightsabre, maybe purple like Windu. (See the various forums/sites that explain the colourings of lightsabres)
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        I’m not lucky enough to get something cool.
        I’d only rate the typo machine.
        *lol*
      - DrCrazy102
        
        Holographic typo machine so you can typo in all the languages?
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        “Typo all the things!”
        
        Most likely.
      - Adriano
        
        Bwahahahahah ! Don’t worry, I will speak as much as Lily of what I’ll see !
Daniel Sharp

Thank you @sebastinpriz:disqus for reminding me that the current month is in fact, July.
- Adriano
  
  Seba saved the day !
ReturnOfDaveBro

Teen angst just wouldn’t be complete without a pesky sibling tagging along. :)
- Adriano
  
  Ahahahah so true xD
Chris

I like Jane with the boyish messy hair. Never again the tight pulled back hair please.
Adriano

Okay, just wanted to let you know all that I pledged for this month 50$. Not sure if I can pledge such amount for long time though, ahah. We’ll see.
Hope it helps you, guys !
- Daniel Sharp
  
  Big spender! I’ll email you ;)
  - Adriano
    
    Meh, I just wanted to prove my attachment to your webcomic.
    Nice, thanks !
- SebasP
  
  Thanks man!
  - Adriano
    
    You’re welcome !
- NickDA
  
  You are awesome! A thousand thanks!
  - Adriano
    
    You’re ten thousand times welcome ^^
Delta-v

Dang! I was impressed when Lily melted the silicon chip that Angeline uses for a heart, but she just outmaneuvered JANE! That’s Mentat-class ability. O.o
- Adriano
  
  This seems like Lily is a Bene Gesserit acolyt !
  
  Huhuhu I’m starting to see a lot of possible Dune references, thanks to you xD
  - Matt [in Middletown]
    
    Bunny Gesserit is what I just read.
    Some crazy person already did that, drew a storybook titled “good night dune”.
  - Matt [in Middletown]
    
    http://goodnightdune.com/
    
    Found it….I’m a horrible person…
    - Adriano
      
      Ahahah funny
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        Notice the Bunny Gesserit…
      - Adriano
        
        Yeah, I noticed. What’s also awesome is the bear Fedaykins xD
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        We need bear fedaykin.
        Because, reasons.

    “It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.”
    - Adriano
      
      I bet Lily was singing that when she was used as a trap in Arkjut :
      
      “I must not fear.
      Fear is the mind-killer.
      Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
      I will face my fear.
      I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
      And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
      Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Panel 3 on..
- Daniel Sharp
  
  Hehehe. TBH my original plan did have Janebot and Lily crawling through air-ducts to spy on the meeting from the vents :D
  - Matt [in Middletown]
    
    Lol!
    The server room scene from MI 1 reenacted?
    - Daniel Sharp
      
      Not quite to that level, but yeah ;)
      - Matt [in Middletown]
        
        Still awesome though.
Dust Bunny Mafia

Yay! Jane has a soft-spot for Lily.
- Daniel Sharp
  
  She’s got one of those faces you just can’t stay mad at, even if you try.
melaredblu

Lily’s much more devious than she looks. I wonder if she used to use her cuteness to get away with things before everything went to heck. My money is on “yes”.
- DrCrazy102
  
  It’s always the quiet ones that you’ve got to keep an eye on. Both a good social and medical tip, just saying.
Adriano

I really love the architecture of the last panel.
That aerial architecture, luminous and white.
Seems young and fresh ^^

Seba did an awesome job ^^
- SebasP
  
  Thanks!
  
  Here are a few of low resolution captures of the 3d model I did for the scenery of these last pages. I’ll make some proper images for the Patreon ;)
  - Daniel Sharp
    
    And this, ladies and gents, is another prime example of how Seba is super awesome.
  - Adriano
    
    Awesome ! Thanks !
    It’s very cool and give us a better perspective on the building :D
  - DrCrazy102
    
    Curious as to what software you used? I’m looking into CAD programs ATM and this piqued my interest very much. Please tell me Seba! *Puts a puppy’s face in front of own*
    - SebasP
      
      Sketchup. Its really easy to use and has a huge web with thousands of free models to add details, in this case the handrails
      - DrCrazy102
        
        Huh, never seen a UI for sketchup like that. Currently have it installed so it’s interesting to see what else it can do as well as the rest of the market
Honza Prchal

Anthropomorphizing that construct enough to give it such cute emotions is a brilliant piece of work. Kudos.
- SebasP
  
  Thanks :)

So is Jane bound to that crude little bot? If something happens to it, can she escape the frame and enter another machine, or will she be destroyed with it? That’s a creepy thought….
- Daniel Sharp
  
  OR she just sent along enough for the job/is in contact with it via wifi sort of thing :)
- SebasP
  
  I havent tought about that until you said so, but yeah, I’m sure it’s a daemon in the robot
Hipopótamo

Lily could handle a Terminator, I guess, since she has managed to tag along with this advanced AI. Probably Jame made a mistake choosing a teen personality…
J.S. Conner

Hey, it’s Sifo Kubek! Mirage is already starting to intersect with the main story =D
Citrus Reaper

Oh hey, Jane’s changed her hair.
theRoUS

Wow, hacked a droid to hack a comm feed to hack a meeting.. C’mon, Jane, just have some nanobots spin you up a fly you can put on the wall!
- Daniel Sharp
  
  Angeline took away her nanobot toys ;)
  - theRoUS
    
    Aw, c’mon. If Jane can do *this* hack (and I have boundless faith in her abilities), hacking access to a fab ’twill be as nothing to her. I expect nanotech of her design and under her control to appear shortly. Discreetly.
