Rule #1: Never put the medic in harm's way if you can help it.

And yes, Kadira is getting some on the job training from Carter. Over-specialization is for insects and breeds in weakness...

Next time go in through the wall.

Heh, I'll bet Danny Boy has to put up with a lot of really bad impromptu renditions of that song...

What kind of barbarian are you, going in through the wall?

Yes he does. He really, really does...

At first thought that what Danny Boy is saying in panel 2 is some "street" way of saying "bitch", before I realized that it's the abbreviation for "Bishop"! :-D Would be kind of a rude way to talk to your supervisor...

Oh geez... I hadn't thought about that...

Though, to be fair, he might be able to get away with it. They actually go way back (they served at one point in Iraq together).

Perhaps all Dr Halversons are Chaoses, but not all Chaoses are Dr Halversons?

That's deep...

It makes me think about the Venn diagrams of Autumn Bay, which break my head...

What are the odds that the entire team is making it out of this season alive, intact, and completely sane?

That IS a great question! If I guess correctly, do I win the money? XD

That doesn't look like either an explosion or a fire--perchance was that trip wire attached to something......parachronic?

Professor Etheric
Aw no... They got the explosive. That flash in the last panel is the team's light shining at the "camera".

It might have been a storytelling error on my part. I just thought it would look kinda cool...

Well it DID look cool, and I wondered if that might have been what it was, but there wasn't enough context to tell. A doorway framing Bishop would have done the trick. :)

Oh yes, rule #1, I know too well, I played the walking-medkit priest in AD&D, that sort of sucked ;D

A cleric in AD&D? Yeah, that was not so great.

At least they got better in 3e and beyond. :)

Me - Yay this priest type has so many cool spells-

Rest of the party - oh no no no we need you for cure light wounds and cure medium wounds spells!

Me - sigh okay then, I drop the combat spells and just engage in regular fighting..

*fights mediocrely and maybe gets one monster killed while everyone else at least five each.

Hooray.
