Oh, sure.  Bring up the exploding horses to win your argument, Jacob.  That’s not fair.  Also, trust the journalist to be the only one who notices that Fumiaki has skedaddled…

↓ Transcript
Girii: You can't kill him just because he might...
Jacob: Explosive. Horses.
Girii: ...Okay. Maybe he is a little crazy.
Jacob: Look, I don't have to kill him. But we should restrain him, and not trust any of the tech he's invented...
Roger: Uh, should we keep an eye on him? Because I think he ran away.

  1. God of Cows says:

    Well it worked, didn’t it Jacob?

  2. --jt-- says:

    Seventy-five percent of the people he’s talking to here is doc’s tecnology.

  3. Jerden says:

    Come on Jacob, it’s not like you trusted him in the first place.

  4. Skur says:

    Damn, I had a long backlog to read up from and I didn’t see the thing with the Fumaki-cyborg coming.
    Now I wonder if I’m just unattentive or whether I can put it on the early morning headache.

  5. Ryan says:

    I was thinking Fumaki was a clone rather than AI, so that was news to me.

    In Fumaki’s defense, the exploding horses did apparently perform their intended function!

  6. Jerden says:

    But Ryan, there are saner ways!

    Of course, they’re all really boring.

  7. Gin says:

    I like the fact Jacob stated flat out they could restrain Not!Fumiaki instead of killing him; at least from how I interpreted his early character in this story, this is a major change from how he used to be. Awesome character development!

    Also Jacob’s smug look in panel two is hilarious, for some reason.

  8. Ilmarinen says:

    Explosive horses, huh? Big talk from a man who used to carry a case full of superplagues around.
