Hokay, Prince Douchebag has officially gone totally batshit! I mean, gas the whole palace, my Liege? Cah'mon now! At least Adventus there has some sense when it comes to Nuclear Options. The Cassians aren't worried though, they don't breathe.
Also, Douchebag still thinks it's the peasants rioting. What a fool.
" The Cassians aren't worried though, they don't breathe. "
Do we know for a fact that Cassians don't breath? Yes, they're androids (gynoids). But we know that androids in New Troy have organic, synth brains and, often, other organic parts. Many eat food of some sort for nutrients for their organic parts, if not for energy. And burning food for fuel suggests they need to breath oxygen.
Luna is known for medical androids with positronic brains, but that's Luna.
Aside from the Cassians, I'm wondering if Ceci and Dolly would be okay. Ceci, at least, is a Black Angel. But Dolly's new body is designed to be as human as possible. (Heck, Dolly got drunk off her ass in that bar. So we know that alcohol can make her pass out.) And let's not forget Teedee and Ada.
BTW: If they can flood the vents with a deadly gas, then they should just as easily be able to flood the vents with an incapacitating agent. Though, in real life, knockout gas does not work the way it does in cartoons or on shows. It's illegal stuff and one reason is because there's a chance it could be fatal (i.e., overdose).
Cassians have built in filters and protective layers they can ignore nerve gas. As can Ceci. Dolly carry's a breather. as do Teedee and Ada. Also all of them have Bio sensors that would alert them the second gas weapons were used.
He's exactly the subordinate that Decimus deserves: A slow-thinking sycophant high on paint fumes. We can only hope his proximity slows down the self-destructive tendencies amongst the leadership.
Dammit that wasn't Maxus. Way to go Douche-ass, seems the blood flowing out of his head and into his ass has caused him to forget that the poison gas will also kill Acantha and Lynn Taylor. This jerk-wad general wanna be seems to have at least a half-wit he talked Douche-ass out of gassing the palace, and probably save the lives of everyone in Nova Roma. Fairly sure that neither Cally, Grandmother, Aeneas nor Dolly would have stopped until everyone was dead in the City if Lynn and Acantha were dead.
" ...has caused him to forget that the poison gas will also kill Acantha and Lynn Taylor. "
Not necessarily. Kali said that Acantha (& Taylor) were in the lower levels and descending. His Wackiness may have realized that they would be out of the area of effect.
Yeah, while I have little sympathy for him, I don't envy him either. He and Kali are walking a very fine line: to directly defy Emperor Crazypants is both against clear directives and suicide.
But following his current orders only exhausts their resources while likely not inflicting much harm on the enemy. I can't remember if it's been revealed Kali has the option to see that Dek gets a "much needed nap" (cough, cough) when he starts issuing orders that will clearly bring down *everything*. Given his paranoia, I doubt he would leave himself vulnerable that way...
He said "the outer vents". That suggests that it's not the whole palace. My first read was it was mainly near the entrances and even perhaps entirely outside.
I think he has just FORGOTTEN about them, mjkj. He is so lost in his frightened fantasy, not thinking about anything but protecting his precious skin. And punishing those that are threatening it. :-P
Hell given the sound of this last page no ones going to have to kill this douche-kazoo. He's going to die of either a grande mal heart-attack or cerebral hemorrhage.
Heck, Malati has probably insulted him to his face a few times.
Ofcourse, she's dead now, but I'm sure she was the go-to gal, if something nasty needed saying.
also pc down AGAIN.
*walks to teedee. "gotta borrow this be right back" borrows her ppc and turn half
of uptown nova roma into a burning wasteland then hands it back
"thanks I feel much better now" and gives teedee a beer
I wonder how many selfies TeeDee has with people who she's just done that to.
"Wince or scream for the camera...Thanks! Great face there. Just for that, if you want, I'll kill you now, instead of letting you suffer as you bleed out. I hate to do it, but that one's going up on the wall, so I feel kinda' generous."
Though realistically, TeeDee would have a lot more profanity for a statement that long.
I am the very model of a modern new Lord General,
I've information vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I know rulers of New Rome, and I quote the fights historical
From the Palace Gate to Murder-turds in order categorical...
You've gotta' give him credit for not overlooking the attitude of enormous nuclear fireballs that are light years away. Not many rulers are comprehensive enough to try to keep the stars from getting too uppity.
Hey, hey. That technopath could readily turn into good news by removing that near absolute loyalty thing.
I gotta wonder what originally tips Decimus into insanity, what it that they made the lime skittles into green apple? (I say as I sit here with a bag of skittle lamenting the loss of the lime flavor
aaannndd I just realized something absurdly creepy. I look a lot like a blond Decimus with a left side part...
and while flipping up to get a good look at his face while also being able to see the mirror I just read the rollover text.
My god, I love that so much.
SOMETHING JUST CLICKED!
Dr. Silver is the answer to all the problems! She's a technopath, she can neutralize the 'switch' of sorts Decks has going.
She can free the Cassians, convert the bots, turn off the autoguns, disable the various self-destructs...
[since this is mostly just the stream of consciousness coming as I carefully observe the page]
Noctis has a drawn weapon and this look in her eyes... what if she were already freed and is presently using that lack of good news as a smokescreen to hide that she has been 'compromised' and is about to act on my above theory, preferrably by offing the evil overlord of incompetence.
Of course I bet I am overestimating everything at the moment.
But still...
Decimus have more than just the Cassians to keep a poor Cuberpath busy.
And he relies mostly on manpower to begin with.
So even if she wrecked every technical installation, he would still be dangerous.
Still, she can certainly add more gravel into the gears, than most can ... and then .. TeeDee breaks the rest. :)
And by danger, I mean Decimus.
Yah.
Like Godzilla is a "large lizard".
Knock knock
Who's there?
Maxus
Oh SHIT!

Sorry I can't send the real thing.

He's basically putting on airs, that he doesn't deserve.
Ah well, I think he will eventually be schooled by Maxus himself.
" ...has caused him to forget that the poison gas will also kill Acantha and Lynn Taylor. "

Or in this case, android emotions.
No sweat. After all, I'm Lord General. I won't fail you like Maxus. I have five minutes experience, after all.
Noctis: The good news is .. I look Totally HOT in my battle gear! Win!
Heck, Malati has probably insulted him to his face a few times.
Ofcourse, she's dead now, but I'm sure she was the go-to gal, if something nasty needed saying.

More like "since"!
Or dead.
This can only go two ways really.
... in pieces.
... with jagged edges.
... pushed up into his rectum.

This is a really bad day to be a Cassian though, as Prince-jerkface is in full crazy mode.
