She adopted the...the chrono-assassin?! What is this

Faust on page 395
The matrix game she made herself has a crono killer junior as a NPC?

Jonathan on page 395
The chrono assassin was her creation, seeing sje can't have kids she made her own virtual one, interesting, lets see if I got my ducks in a row, if not feel free to shoot em down lol

What do we do now? We wait.
Webcomics reader motto.

Of course! on page 395
Everything makes sense now!

Kid Cthulhu on page 395
Fascinating, captain *Spock eyebrow-lift*

Charidan on page 395
All that remains to be seen here is if these are new memories or old ones.

Pie on page 395
Do note, fellow readers, that the kid's speech isn't all warbly like the chrono-assassin's. I mean, I have no idea what to make of that, but uh... it's a clue!

Jörg on page 395
The eye color is different, too.

Weirdman3214 on page 395
The issue of both eye color and speech being different is perfectly normal considering that this kid is clearly artificial. Some kind of damage could have made his speech units malfunction and his eyes could be easily re-programmed for a different coloured light or they could have been totally replaced.

I got nothing. Maybe the creature from the black lagoon will rise up out of the sink next or something.

edache on page 395
This is starting to feel like a David Lynch movie...

thing 1 on page 395
I tend to agree. This comic left the rails long ago. There is something to be said about "coherency". Weird stuff for weird sake only gets you so far.

Paul on page 395
Unexpected twists and confusion in a story that begins with a kid time traveling to his future self. Seems to be firmly on the rails to me!

PrimordialRageChick on page 395
@thing1 It'll all be explained soon enough....it hasn't actually been many pages since Charlie's death, so this less coherent version of BSS can stand a good many explanation-free updates before it'll be only "weird stuff for weird sake". Give it a chance to develop and be explained, aight? I see what youre saying but I think we need to let it happen before we jump to judgement

SenpaiSizzle on page 395
My guess is she ends up cloning/"cloning" this kid, whether an actual clone due to a horrible accident or trying to make him real from virtual reality (assuming this is vr, and not a memory).
If so, that could be where the cloning/"cloning" went screwy - then some shit happened - then he went rogue and became the chrono assassin.

Drakey on page 395
This fake kid is/will become sentient. At some point, he will also become physical, probably by his own resourcefulness or request. He'll hear about what happened, realize that he would never exist if it didn't happen, and kick off the events that lead to his own existence, probably sending a proxy to die in his place.
Charlie wasn't sent forward to be kept safe. He was sent forward to die.

Mr. Jones on page 395
The captain once attempted to explain plot twists to me on a particularly long voyage. He introduced me to middle American television and literature to drive home the point that plot need not make sense in the moment, only in retrospect. I was confused then; I am confused now.

0xf10e on page 395
@Pie/Jörg he's not the chrono-assasin - _yet_! ;)
@Drakey hmm... sounds too plausible ;P

Phlatus on page 395
Eos, what are you creating in that VR world of yours?

G on page 395
I think the kid is female, not male so probably not the assassin

silvermare on page 395
Lol. Souffle boy.

Volfa on page 395
WTF??
It just occured to me that we've possibly been deceived, and Eos was the true main protagonist of this story all along

KonaGuy on page 395
If only Morgan Freeman were here to explain things, I'd be so happy.

Jono on page 395
I hate when my virtual machines have an error then I have a child suddenly

Volk0v on page 395
Maybe she tried to make a clone but it came out kind of messed up?
so sudden jarring time skip
or maybe this is a scenario she created
or maybe it's a dream
Maybe someday we'll know
