    First! Ooh, I hate people who do that.

    Is this the first time we’ve seen the headmaster at this level of detail? I did not know that he had a robo-snake / God Emperor of Dune outfit going on.

    1. Me-me

      We saw him up close at the ball game, but he was “sitting down” so I didn’t notice his yuan-ti heritage either.

      1. leor613

        We’ve seen the Headmaster when he first bonded to the PS238 Mark-1 before, and he looks more or less exactly like this. I’ll try to find the page.

        1. leor613

          Mea culpa, we haven’t seen the Headmaster in the full Mark-1 suit before this page; we’ve only heard Herschel explain to Alex von Fogg the negative effects of bonding with the Mark-1 permanently.

          So this is indeed the first time we see the Headmaster cosplaying as Golobulos from “G.I. Joe”. :p

        2. artificer-urza

          I wonder how many people are going to know who Golobulos was?

        3. leor613

          Come on, Golobulos isn’t that obscure a character! He was voiced by Burgess Meredith, for crying out loud! 😛

        4. Tgape

          Um, that was then, this is now. G.I. Joe is somewhat obscure now, according to conversations I’ve had with some younger people. Sure, there was a movie, but that was for people like you and me who watched G.I. Joe back in the day and watch nostalgia flicks that HUG our sense of nostalgia in its LIBRARIANS. At least they’re not so expensive we need to pay through our REDECORATING noses. So a mildly obscure character from G.I. Joe is rather obscure to today’s youths.

    Neato, can’t wait to see where this little chat goes with said “headmaster” and who I’m going to guess was that female von frogg character.

    1. leor613

      For the last time: It’s LADY! ALEXANDRA! VONN! FOGG!

      (And kudos for guessing correctly!)

  3. Christopher

    So the headmaster is not the real boss of the school?
    Just who is it instead? Could it be the building itself due to being based on the PS-Nanites?

    1. hswoolve

      … maybe …

    2. leor613

      Nope. Nice guess.

  4. Matt

    If the bigger bad isn’t stroking a cat, I’ll be disappointed.

  5. James

    Hmm~ Who do we know at Praetorian with that kind of attitude….Von Fogg!

    1. leor613

      Well done!

    “There are some parts that are much harder to crack than the rest, but I’m sure there’s nothing worth paying attention to in there”

    … I didn’t peg the guy for being *that* much of an idiot…

    1. Christopher

      He said “at the moment”.

      So he knows that knowledge might be important later on and he will continue to work retrieving it.

  7. knug

    If its a fluffy white cat sitting on the couch controlling the headmaster, I will laugh for hours.

    Time for everyone’s favorite game… Name That Villain!
    Followed by someone posting the answer after the villain is shown…
    My current guess is Baphuma’al simply from the nodwick cross-over. Someone has to get the 1st wrong(or right) answer first.

    1. leor613

      I’m trying my hardest to avoid spoilers, but I don’t feel too bad shooting down that guess. This isn’t a cross-over, and it’s not Baphuma’al (or Count Repugsive!).

  9. leor613

    Okay, how can I comment on this page without giving away spoilers? Huh. Well, I’m stumped. Unless you guys want to talk about the Prefect?

    Okay, the Prefect, the Prefect… yeah, he’s thirty-five, single, has meta-powers that make him ideal for Administrative Villainy and LARPS in his spare time. He earns a six figure salary, oversees a staff of instructors who specialize in various forms of torture, and is currently organizing a production of “Annie Get Your Gun” for the Praetorian Academy Drama Club.

    1. Agent G9

      Id actually like to see a meta powered version of “Anne Get Your Gun”

      1. leor613

        The Headmaster may be a tyrant running a school designed to churn out “military contractors” with meta-powers, but he does have some standards! (Plus the Prefect had his heart set on a Drama Club. 🙂 )

        1. Urist McDJ

          Personally, I’d pay to see them do ‘Into the Woods’.

        2. leor613

          Miss Kyle and Miss Oberon were going to have their classes produce “Phantom of the Opera”, but after the incident with the hamster, Principal Cranston grounded Miss Kyle’s class. 🙁

  10. bt109

    My vote for the big bad is Dr. Irons, if only because I can’t believe that explosion was enough to kill him…and he’s already taken an interest in PS238 and its talented children…and he’s already got the whole cyborg thing going….okay, that’s actually not sounding quote so stupid anymore.

    1. Tgape

      Yes, but there’s still that annoying alibi issue, which was the only problem with it being Dr. Irons in the first place.

      Sure, there’s time travel, so it’s possible. But it’d feel cheap.
