Not really surprising… She’s been using it as a weapon; and long, narrow cylinders which remain almost entirely undamaged when used to hit thing are sort of completely impossible to bend by their wielder (otherwise they’d already BE bent; the force at impact being far higher than your flex strength with both hands).
Sadly, Gauntlet hasn’t figured out yet that The Singularity isn’t trying to make THEM learn things; it’s observing their actions to learn about them…
Of course, since neither of the children are from conflicting “tribes” as it were, being that they share common mentors and were raised on a different planet wherein constant conflict, negotiation, and inescapable trauma, is just another part of the day.
They’re trying to compare insects with reptiles. However, what they picked up were couple of chimera.
If Revenant and Clay industries ever choose to they could probably make a utility belt or armour set that does all the knee jerk hero ing. Auto defence, damsel snaring grappler, etc.
Singularity. Robots with singularity as their leader are usually up to no good (from an organics point of view).
So the robots are going to wait until the conflict is over (i.e., a million years) and then return two batches of people who don’t know it and who are hopped up and ready to fight, so they can start the war all over again. Robots are stupid.
I get the feeling that it isn’t taking into account the possibility of a third neutral party being involved. Can’t it tell that Gauntlet (can’t remember his name) isn’t like the other greenies?

I guess 84 did not use the flagpole to wrap up the non-Argosian after all, as she is holding it, still straight, in panel 6.

Wrong it’s trying to teach the two races that sent them not to fight. It hasn’t figured out yet that they don’t want to fight.

…Of course Moon Shadow had air bags. This is the goshdawn Revenant that we’re talking about.

Wait until you find out about Big S’s secret weapon…

Oh, dear. Who wants to bet the Argosians already retro-engineered Argonite, and that’s what was in that bullet?
Tgape
Probably Tyler wants to bet that, if I’m not mistaken.
Personally, I feel it’s a sucker bet. The Argosians had a lot more time to develop that stuff than we ever had, and a lot more reason to.

Not quite. Also, the way these two species are going, I ‘d guess the short odds are on them accidentally wiping each other out.

Thank you, that is all.

I’m as big a fan of comic book physics as the next guy, but you don’t survive a hundred-storey fall with air bags, that’s just impossible.
You use your grappling hook. Wasn’t that the very first lesson the Revenant taught him?
