This is the exact reason that you keep the medic back.

Once again, the magical theoretician of the group is Johnson. They don't have an actual mage of any sort, but he is a fair approximation.

Though, to be fair, there are occasionally complications...

Be sure to check out the latest page of Bleach Blonde Valkyriesof the Fourth Reich, where our reporter friend Felicia has made an appearance. And yes, she is in New Mexico, as promised.

Also, Carter Lake has a cameo in Eternity Complex. Check it out! :)

I'm guessing that Johnson gets some of these ideas from talking shop with Sophie.

It's more that there is a reason he can talk shop with Sophie. He's got a lot of theoretical knowledge in the field of thaumatology.

Magic technobabble! (Magicbabble??)

So basically, what they did was comparable to using a match for light while peeking into an oil tank to check how full it is...

Right. To be fair, they couldn't really have known, and even as far as they did know, they took precautions.

Ah, so they screwed themselves just by walking in? Heh.:D

What can I say? This is a dangerous line of work.

At least they got some info before it all went boom... :)

"Cool guys don't look at explosions..."

-..they calmly walk away from them.
-..they have seen so many already it's really nothing special anymore.
-..they know it could harm their eyes (they forgot to put on their cool guy dark shades).

Panel 3, Bishop's first speech bubble, there aren't enough "i"s in "Right" to convey that Johnson used a whole bucketful of jargon to say "The instability I mentioned reacted to our stuff." ^^

I respectfully disagree. The single "i" with the ellipses is more indicative of the "I'm not sure I caught all that" thing that Bishop is going through.

Ah, my apologies. I didn't realize that Bishop was confused, I thought that he had seen through the bloviation.

Your lexicon warms the cockles of me heart... :)

But do we reach beyond that, perhaps to the sub-cockle region? :)

Does he just make this stuff up on the fly?

Professor Etheric 9th May 2017, 10:13 AM

No, he actually knows what he's talking about. I think... :)
