Me, not you on page 416
Charlie!

Cutting it close indeed.

Thooooooom, you marvelous devil you. You fix everything!!!
Faust on page 416
The shot heard was as he stopped climbing the fence I think. Are we then and there?

I really love this comic and just caught up. Keep up the great work man! :D
Solar on page 416
... So. I kinda stopped reading for a bit after Charlie was shot.. and then.. wtf? I am now caught up again, but I really am utterly confused. Nothing is making sense anymore! (All that didn't make sense before seems so... straightforward and simple now, relatively speaking.)
Of course now I really, really need to see where this story is going (where it came from?). I curse you for twisting my brain with time travel paradoxes and alternate realities. I also thank you for an engaging story. :)
Magic Trees on page 416
I feel like I already know what's about to happen.
Or I don't.
You can never tell with this comic.
Solar on page 416
@Magic Trees: We already know what's going to happen. It's already happened! (damn time travel...)
Anyway, time for some speculation (some, like the first, entirely for fun.)
(Attempt #2... #1 ran me out of space with too much elaboration...)
- "Thoom" is the sound of time moving. The big "thoooom" gun was a time gun, displacing parts of you from the rest of you. Creative way to kill?
- Memnon had his adult body (some form of android) from the very beginning. His 'mind' lived in the VR world as he grew up, where he could learn about the world in as close a fashion as he could to what a human would. Also Eos gets to raise the child she could never have this way.
- Rothwell is actually Memnon's predecessor, the first iteration that didn't quite succeed, but enough to realize that he had a will to live and would never exist if Memnon went through with his plan to change the past.
- Some forms of time travel may actually be temporal cloning - A duplicate actually travels, but the original stays put. Somehow Rothwell maintains some sort of connection with his original in the future. His mind seems split between times.
- Emi. Memnon's "daughter". A girl, so we assume, that could be a transvestite Sam clone. Post apocalypse, clothing is whatever Memnon managed to retrieve from outside.
- Eos. Barren. Perhaps a transwoman started as yet another Sam clone. Perhaps her interest in cloning lies not so much in trying to have a child, but in understanding her own origins.
I think I will stop here as my ideas are getting further and further from 'plausible'.

Ah, I feared they would not go to the same place or time... And maybe it was on purpose... She's is really pretty, and particularly so on third and seventh panels.
mrgawe on page 416
So EXCITING!!
PrimordialRageChick on page 416
I sense possible future love triangle
Also, what happens after she saves Charlie (if she does so successfully)? Are we back to slice of life? Or is it (please not this) the end??
Kid Cthulhu on page 416
Aww yeah! Things are about to get really crazy!
Mr. Jones on page 416
Whose eyes are these?
caribouchat on page 416
@Mr. Jones: I think they're Eos'.
Not Charlie's, not Sam's, not Sam's mother's...
Phlatus on page 416
Is "EMI" her name, or does it stand for ElectroMagnetic Interference? (Or both?)
Note the change Tober made to the Ash's bio a while back, "Charlie's only best friend. " (There's a strike-through on "only" that didn't paste so I'm winging it with markup tags.) However, we've not seen any peers introduced who could be considered friends, so I think this young lady may be the person who makes it a plural.
We still don't know what became of Rothwell - did Eos blow him away or is he in custody/on the lam or completely withdrawn from this timeline? Is his distorted speech a result of being projected from one place/time to another?
Dafuq on page 416
I still say causal loop in play
Deof Movestofca on page 416
This site looks strangely familiar.
Opus the Poet on page 416
Emi is diminutive for Emilia. Not sure if that applies to this situation.
Dark on page 416
...What the fuck is even happening?
Rukatin on page 416
@Dark
Don't you know? There's a Whorl Overflow :D
The Theorist on page 416
It appears we have simply experienced a time loop that has given us Emi. Her existence in the past has paradoxically closed that loop and now the past is once again the present. All that we saw during and after Charlie's death can no longer happen the same way because a new element has been introduced.
Dark on page 416
Looking back to before shit hit the fan...
I think I get what's happening right here, right now.
However, it's the "How" that confuses me the most.
Faust on page 416
So many people in this have used the ka-magic-instant-kid move in this comic and we are clueless about if they are originally organic or software. Simply getting an answer to this opens up so many more questions.
