Chapter 8: Page 11 - Flash Memory

Posted by / in Comic / 20 comments

I can so I did. Have the page before I go to bed instead of when I wake up ;P

This page is important, but I’d rather hear your impressions of it first before imposing MY views and thoughts on you :D

If you haven’t yet, please consider contributing some questions I can have Angeline answer. Also, check out this super mega adorable commission of Lily and Janebot we got this week!

  • Delta-v

    So the cranial port is still there, which probably means at least some nanobots, too. No wonder his memory banks are short-circuiting. :(

  • Chris Kotthoff

    PTSD, deep depression and possible brain trama from a experimental neural science is bad enough without the knowing someone was literally inside your head messing with your thoughts.

  • Matt [in Middletown]

    Improper disconnect, she’s still in there.
    Or, a version of her.

    • Adriano

      Tenzin never had that pop-up about not removing safely USB keys, didn’t he ?

      He doesn’t know that trauma.

      • Matt [in Middletown]

        Nope, the visual pop up of “safely remove hardware” didn’t show or didn’t make sense to him.

        • Adriano

          Tenzin is a n00b.
          That’s why he couldn’t save Indira :P

          • Still too soon…

          • Adriano

            That’s cuz I’m a visionary ;P

            Btw, isn’t it the first time we get to see his plug hole when he got hair and so clearly ?
            Isn’t this thing bothering him when shaving head, showering, etc ?

          • It most certainly is a bothersome reminder ;)

          • Matt [in Middletown]

            He forgot up up down down left right left right b a b a start.

  • I really love the composition on this page and the way you connected it synapses wise. I’d say I have to agree that there is still a daemon inside his head, but Jane wouldn’t do this to him on purpose. These were the memories that kept looping even before she intervened to wake him. So I’m not entirely sure why beyond what’s already been mentioned by other readers.

  • There are some tasty hints to things going on presently in this scene as far back as Chapter 5… ;P

  • Beautifully done page!

  • Adriano

    This page is awesome !
    We got to see a whole new Tenzin x Viktor memory ! Love it !
    RIP Viktor we never forget <3

  • Hey there! I just read through recently and I’m really gripped by this story. I’m not into action and I find it hard to follow sometimes, whether in movies/animation or comics (nothing against the art here, which is amazing, it’s just a personal thing), but this story balances that with emotional stakes and some philosophical exploration. Something for everyone. Great work! I think my favorite part so far was seeing Tenzin’s flashbacks done in different art styles, although the regular artist is very talented at both subtle expressions/body language to convey emotion and huge bloody explosions. It’s awesome.

    • Awesome! Glad to have you, and glad that you’ve been enjoying the balance. I have a friend in real life who when he sees me always asks when we’re going to “get more explosions” XD

      I hope to see you in the comment section henceforth, and to hear your thoughts as we keep moving forward with this balance :D Also, my obligatory plug for the bonus content under the “extras” tab, to tide you over between updates ;)

    • Adriano

      Seba knows his job ;D

      Still, the flashback chapters with different styles is my favorite, especially the parts drawn by Nico, who’s also an awesome artist !

  • Well, there’s your problem, you unplugged the system before shutting it down safely. Geez Tenzin, everyone knows you have to wait until it says it is now safe to turn off your computer.
    But in all seriousness, this is a really powerful page and I continue to be impressed by the fact that Tenzin is holding it together as well as he is, all things considered, and actually seeking help with it. I do wonder, though, if Jane realizes what she is doing (maybe inadvertently?) to him. She sure was aware of the risk earlier, but does she understand what’s, quite literally, going on in his head now?

    • If only they were on speaking terms… ;)

      • Matt [in Middletown]

        Well, he just said “Jane” and immediately his head lit up with this scene.
        Perhaps she is trying to say something but the dense fool isn’t listening?
        (He IS “Minervan Standard Advanced Tactical Brick” in the flesh?)
