Since Monday (nor Pete actually) really know how this is all going to work nowadays, these threads are going to be done a tad differently. This and most subsequent threads will be 'placeholders' until a new comic goes up. Right now that should still be near midnight eastern time. Once that happens, eventually the "placeholder" will be changed to a "proper" thread. But since Monday could be asleep or lazy until that happens, you will at least already have a place to put your reaction to the strip. And please, do not post in this thread until the new strip is up, which could be soon, or days. ---- Vote for Sluggy Freelance at Top Web Comics. Remember to vote EACH day.

Oh my.
That's either really good or really bad.

"Chen, get your butt over here, I need a hand." "Yes MOOOOM. Don't flip out." "Hey, watch your tone" "I ain't got to take this. I have my right."
And Chen best cover his arm with his long sleeve as Torg specifically came for a watch. And Chen better hope to wind it up / swap the batteries.

Huh? I was going to say that Torg apparently never looked closely at a certain license plate, but the dots I remember aren't there anymore. Spooky! :-Þ

Oh my gods, I am sitting on pins and needles here and will probably continue to do so for the rest of this arc. This will be detrimental to my butt skin's wellness I bet. This is amazing.

I'm sure someone can find a link to the last time we saw a working watch...
What it can and can't do.

Dr. Steve gave voice commands that Oasis obeyed completely.
Kiki stole the watch and gave it to BunBun but the watch couldn't be used because it is voice imprinted to Dr. Steve.
In theory Chen can't use it, but clearly he's got some kind of plan. Maybe he borrowed Daedaelus' or Roberts' voice and can give it commands through a recording? Or can modulate his own voice?

That look on Chen's face in panel 4 and his familiarity with the computer...
How quickly he found the watch, like he knew right where it was going to be...
Not buying that Chen hasn't been here before.

Bun-bun was able to cut off Dr. Steve's control and thought he could get Oasis under his control in a short time using a computer. We don't know whether it would have worked because of Kiki... But if Chen is familiar with the system, maybe he thinks he can get Oasis under his control very quickly, especially if the system is already able to recognize his voice due to his past interactions with Steve for any reason.
