Yay Schlock stayed good! I'm glad Roberts is still alive! Kusari smile! HMMM!

Amazing! And too bad that I missed the earlier post, so that I read this one first. The one time when Pete posts two days after another, just has to be this major revelation.

But, amazing! Kusashi goes from body to body of loyal Sasha clones? I don't think anyone predicted that.

I see what you guys did there.

So, Schlock did it...
All I've seen him do is betray numerous people and kill hundreds more all so that he could draw a triangle on a monitor.

You know most kindergartners just draw a triangle.
No killing involved. Huh, who knew?

The "at most n Kusashi at a time" hypothesis looks more likely now. Is it one Kusari plus one Sasha at a time, or at most two active Kusashi in total at a time (or some number greater than two if there are others active elsewhere)? Or did the injured Kusashus just happen to pass out for a moment while Kusari-in-Spaaaace was leading Roberts away?

Hey look, there are different variants of the Kusari costume! The one on the space station is very similar to the one that was seen at Le Snootier. It has wide legs and four vertical kusarigama sheaths on the back, the hat looks like a separate piece and there are some kind of slits in the mask. The costume that the injured Kusashus recently took off had tight legs and two diagonal sheaths, the headgear was attached like a hood until Bun-Bun tore it off, and the mask had no visible slits. I think the size of the epaulettes also differs.

"Doctor Schlock has done it!"

"Done what?"


"He's finally locked Roberts in a soundproof room!"

Nice! If Daedalus were still around, I'm sure this would be his actual sentiments.

Good eye! I think the costume change happened around when House of Cheese rose, looking at the archives. Although there was some gradual modification that I mostly chalked up to Pete's art style before. I wonder why Schlock has an old one in his space station... And I guess swmartian was right about the silhouette being off yesterday; the legs are different, for one thing.

Also:

"[Rombobjörn] said [her] name! I'm so happy!"
Although I guess Silverwalker came up with the original Kusashi name.

I'd be happiest if this was it.

Artificial gravity is an existing technology, and it's quite simple really. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_ ... ce_station
Just let the station spin, and it will generate a centrifugal force directed towards the edges (according to a coordinate system that follow the interior of the station).
There might be some issues like precession, but in theory it's easy to do.
Since we haven't yet seen the outside of the station, we don't know if it is designed to rotate.

I see two possibilities:
(1) At most n units active at a time (where n=unknown, regardless of which personalities are active).
(2) Only one of each personality active at a time (n units can be active, where n is only limited by the number of individual personas available, as no persona may be active in more than one body at a time).
