    This is the first time I noticed the “proximity alert” thingy. How long has Tyler had it?

    1. Faust

      This is the first of it getting used though it was suggested a long time ago when it would have been useful.

    Since the previous comic.

      My bad. I meant four comics ago. It was established here: http://ps238.nodwick.com/comic/2016-07-25/

    What’s that pink thing Tyler has in his hand in the first panel?

    1. SFI

      His Revenant-Communicator, I’d say

      1. MattStriker

        Looks like a regular cellphone headset.

        1. Opus the Poet

          Can you think of a better way to disguise it?

        2. Ed Rhodes

          Although, oddly enough, it appears to have the Revenant’s symbol on it.

        3. Messenger

          Why disguise? It could really just be a cellphone headset, albeit one used by Moon Shadow to communicate with the Revenant. Just because you’re rich and smart enough to create a specialized communicator does it mean it’s more practical to do so.

          I would expect it’s somewhat more secure than a regular phone, which are almost completely not. Several VOIP phone apps for modern phones are secure, but using the built-in phone feature? You could intercept that with regular tech, never mind meta-genius super-tech.

    27. At least I think that’s what Miss Manners recommends/

  5. HEB807

    Ha! Tyler has Pókemon go 🙂

    1. Hogan

      The Wild Tyler escaped! 😀

    Probably once there’s enough bugs to equal the mass of a small child it’d cause problems . . .

  7. Rock

    What I want to know is, why does she keep looking for Tyler…?

    1. SFI

      Doesn’t she think he wants her object at Power & Glory?

      1. Ed Rhodes

        Unless, of course, HE’S the thing she has to bring back to get her object!

    Flea continues to be the most amusing character in the comic, despite the competition.

    1. Unmaker

      Agreed. He glories in being, well, a pest. But it doesn’t seem to be vicious, just having fun being a pranking personality.

      1. Far

        Child of Ambush Bug then?
        hehehe.

        1. Guesticus

          The child of Ambush Bug and Peter Parker 😛

    2. Flushmaster

      Everything’s better with Flea. He has an entry on TV Tropes’ “Made of Fun” page for a good reason. Other kids play different roles, like Ron being the anxious one, A84 the sweet one, Ambriel the snarker, etc, and Flea fills the role of comic relief while still being an effective member of any team he works with.

  9. Messenger

    Wait a minute. How does that proximity alert thing work? Did Tyler plant a tracker on Sarah? Is it a very high tech device that can sense stuff like bio-electric signatures?

    1. Messenger

      Okay. Went back. 2016-07-25: cell phone. He got her number?
      Raises the question: She turned on her phone now?

      1. Rock

        If Tyler is her quest object, maybe she wants to call the shopkeepers as soon as she’s nabbed him?

      2. Guesticus

        Most people have their phones turned on, so that they know when someone phones or texts them

  10. Unmaker

    Why is she looking around in the fifth panel? That’s not normal “walking by” behavior. That does make me suspect that Tyler is what she is supposed to provide to Power & Glory (as others are thinking).

    1. SFI

      Which makes me wonder how HE knows that and knows to hide from her :/

      1. Unmaker

        My guess is because she acted like a crazy woman and threatened him when they first met. “Avoid the threatening crazy” is sufficient reason to put a proximity alert on her (if you have the technical know-how to do that).

    2. Nobody

      That or, she has the ANGRY EYES, so it maybe she’s hunting Tyler and CC to “eliminate the competition” before they can take whatever power thingie she wants.

  11. Stephen R. Bierce

    It took me a while to think of it, but if I were Tyler I would have told The Flea “for every non-meta insect they ought to have a meta-powered insect as a chaperone.”

  12. gyrre

    It feels like there’s a page missing from this chapter.
