This is how you end up with a vain robot that has senses you don't
Cubetown employees can be divided into those who fear being sacked by the Visigoths (this one), those who fear being sacked by the Librarian (almost all of them), and those without fear (Brant from the Department of Hi Jinks).
Liz: Have you tried X-raying the box?
But that might kill the cat!
And now this suggests that there are people and things all over the island that the woom machine has changed every day.
Perhaps this is the Gremlin's new entry into doing science? If they figure out the woom device it might be a big deal.
With so much knowledge and cognitive ability AI can jump the Grand Canyon to reach their conclusions.
Insert obligatory “steam-engine time” reference here. (See also: https://kk.org/thetechnium/steam-engine-ti/ )
I think it may be time for these goobers to have their methodology audited by the Librarian.
Also, what happened to the Director, are they purple? What would happen if they spawn a new Moray unit, would they be purple?
I love that Liz is just DONE with this already.
Not to be that guy, but the Aeolipile was a Greek invention. At least in our universe. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolipile
At first I thought this was the naming cause for the device in His Dark Materials or The Golden Compass, but that was another name. https://hisdarkmaterials.fandom.com/wiki/Alethiometer
A super Mario 64 speedrunning lore reference in my QC?
It's the invisigoths that you really need to worry about...
I wonder if she's related to Beepatrice.
A Visigoth in a sack from Paris is travelling at 80 km/hr and an Ostrogoth in a sack is travelling from Warsaw at 60 km/hr. What colour will the bang be?
Grape 🍇 obviously
Jeph - you should read The Proud Robot by Henry Kuttner or any of his Gallegher stories.
And not for the robot (directly) , but for the inventing while drunk and forgetting things.
To think, if only the Romans had the Device, Odoacer would never have overthrown Woomulus Augustulus.
That's was the Greeks, you Visigoth! Hero of Alexandria specifically. He also launched a stream powered bird.
The Drazi would be very interested in something that can turn green people purple, or vice-versa.
"But in purple... I'm stunning!" *passes out on the table*
The cube is actually a miniature Cubetown. If they get it open they'll find two itsy-bitsy scientists trying to open a tiny mysterious cube.
It's like Matryoshka dolls. Cubes all the way down.
When your slime turns lilac Then by Goths you get sacked That's A Moray!
if they haven't broken out the RAILGUNS https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5817 are they even *trying* to get the box open
Cubetown actually ends up getting sacked by Bembo.
Do they have that much ham and sand?
Her number 2 phobia is being called in front of the Librarian. (dun dun dunnnn)
But it's only because the name Augustus makes her think of the Roman empire and it gives her anxiety.
Wait until she finds out that the Device was boxed by the Visigoths.
No comments about sacking the people responsible for sacking the sackers? 😧
She's going to end up pressing the button herself, isn't she?
Ugh. I love her and think she should kiss girls

Still mildly surprised no one in the comic is familiar with the purple earth hypothesis. Also curious if Moray's metabolism processes methane differently, now. And also if she finds herself craving salt, all of a sudden...
Cue the salt vampire from TOS episode "The Man Trap".
OPEN IT, Liz! Open it and fix it!
No disrespect but who the hell is funding these clowns?? There's an awful lot of money being spent around this place with no oversight whatsoever. 🤨
They were working on climate change research with a grant from the Club of Rome.
Visigoths? Meh. Regular Goths are better. What I really fear are the Invisigoths.
Last time I had to deal with the Invisigoths was when I had braces in junior high. (Their lead orthodontist claimed I had ruined my braces by using my tongue! How was I supposed to know the braces were as sturdy as 200 AD Rome?!)
Maybe this could end capitalism and give us all Medicare for all.
Now you're just spouting fantasy nonsense. But please please please end capitalism and give us Medicare for all!
Who says it isn't a hypercube?
🎵 When a cosmic ray hits And flips one of her bits That's a Moray!
When a mystery machine Brings 'goths and you're not green That's a Moray ... Or something.
One of our scientists are already calling it The Device. In Cubetown that holds the weight of law, right?
Are we talking Classic-era or modern day Goths here?
A cube, built while they were drunk, that they don't understand and that they can't open? OH MY WOOM!!!
If you mean this thing, I've never associated it with Romans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolipile Always thought it was Greek.
These days, it's more like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5jnYNCdctw
Oh no…now being sacked by the Visigoths is now my number one phobia!😏
Some people would consider that a good time.
It's actually a plastic hypercube. If you rotate it just right you'll be able to see inside.
But will it still have the view? 😏
Sack me like one your Roman girls.
No, this is getting to be more like a manga. So they must be Romanji girls.
Being sacked by Visigoths might be her phobia, but it is someone else's deepest fetish.
It's Pintsize. We're talking about Pintsize again.
When you don’t want to be sacked by the Visigoth from France — that’s a Moray!
No, that's the new Woom researcher lady whose name we don't know yet. We don't actually know whether or not Moray would like to be sacked by Visigoths.
“I don’t want to be sacked by Visigoths!” Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it, sister. 😉
Visigoths are great in the sack! Not so much outside the sack, unfortunately.
As to this sacking, are the goths hot?
Only thing hotter than Visigoths is Tim Curry from Rocky Horror Picture Show. (Also hot: Tim Curry selling items from Hot Topic!)
No, she's right. How do we know the machine didn't bring any of them forward?
Gothic Horror
