    Hope they have a better reason for making a decoy than ‘we didnt have a couple spare people to WATCH the first rocket’

    It was a fake after all. Right timetable, wrong rocket.

    Who knew Mallard had a rocket?!? I thought the area looked familiar, it’s Montana!

    It stands to reason that they would still have under ground silos and that some were still operational. Maybe the silo was controlled by the main TS settlement.

    At this point, ray guns and zero guns aren’t going to have that much of a useful effect. Especially not at that distance. Might as well just throw your guns at it.But, not to worry. The rocket isn’t carrying a satellite after all. Actually, it’s a colony ship and it’s carrying every single Topsider off to a better world. The reason the outpost dome was full of MUTTs and the dummy was swarming with them is that the TSer’s had let the things out to roam loose before picking up and moving stakes. A shame that the TSers thought that Linda and Doug weren’t genetically perfect enough to be part of the scheme.

    Linda is as surprised as the others. The reason is that she and Doug were briefed to guard the rocket, but were not told that the rocket was a decoy. They were were actually part of the decoy.

    Surely Mallard’s gonna at least strip Flask of her leadership role…Anybody else thinking Wally could be her replacement? He certainly has the right moral stuff.

    That was NOT another rocket, it was the superstructure and antennas of the topsider outpost, beyond the rocket control dome. BTW I was being sarcastic about it being Mallard’s.

    No problem here. It’s not a satellite, it’s just the last of the zero bombs. That could really put a negative spin on someone’s day! Oh well, nothing much left to hit out there but beans anyway. They’ll probably all get medals.

    Rockets initially rise slowly and accelerate rapidly thereafter. Does Petey have any time to reach, then deactivate the satellite atop the rocket, in an act of self-sacrifice?

    oh good. Flask failed all over the place. Do I dare hope that’ll slap her in the face, shake her self-confidence, make her start thinking, …. probably not. .I’ve never been worried that something would happen to endtown. That’s what this strip is about after all so unless AAron wants to end it, or move everyone to a different spot, nothing’s going to happen to endtown itself..Sorry Aaron, but that’s just how it goes – you can’t threaten your main character (in this case the town) and have anyone really take it seriously unless you’re getting ready to end the story.

    so are they going to the topsider outpost now?

    seems like there are only 2 ways to stop it now petey flying or they go into the outpost and find a way to make it crash from there

    It all makes sense when you think about it. The TS know mutants have some sort of surveillance. They also know that any attempt to re-establish a satellite network would have to be challenged. Hence the decoy. Patrols would intercept most attempts, but any that got through would not endanger the project. If the mutants could establish large underground facilities, it would be a piece of cake for the TS to construct a missle silo. The disturbing piece of this puzzle remains the mutts in the control center. Mutts appear to be useful devices, but you would still want some humans around for an actual launch of this importance. This would seem to imply that either 1) the control center was part of the decoy, or 2) the actual launch was not imminent and the mutts were essentially babysitting the launch controls until it was actually time to launch. Flask linked to their control systems and the real missle launched in response to the countown she was monitoring and (we think) had initiated. We assume the payload is a satellite, but it is different in appearance from the one the mutts loaded onto the decoy. Monday cannot get here fast enough!

    There’s too little time to change Wally’a gun He’d fired it last at Flask, set to stun And Flask’s own potent weapon is lost Petey tossed it aside — a win with a cost They don’t have much left to throw at this bird (Though Flask will hurl a snarling word) In seconds the thing will be out of sight We think we know just what’s on the flight The mutts within the Topsider bubble Were decoys too, and part of the trouble Flask knew this wasn’t right — and said zip One more mistake she’s made on this trip =|====/ Level Head Vote for Endtown 2.0 And for Doc Rat, too The Endtown Forum

    Well, you fooled me again. I thought you were presenting us with something to delete our overgrown pussycat. She did mention that she was looking forward for something with teeth. My bad. Well, DODF3, one good thing that came out of Montana, besides me, is the movie THE THING.(the original one)This point isn’t as crushing for a Friday. I think.
