Scarlet, dear . . . you’re going to get a headache doing that . . .
And you’re going to need to be thinking clearly – you have a decision to make: Do you go along with it in hopes of being able to deal with whatever disaster they create, or do you wash your hands of it?
Well, Scarlet is a hereditary Ghost Whisperer, and she’s probably been studying her grandmother’s theories about consciousness and the Akashic Records. I wonder if she’s been developing some Seer-like powers of prognostication as a result…
… because I get the feeling she’s saying to herself, “I can see so many ways that this idea could go horribly wrong for these heedless idiots! This is a speeding train that’s about to go off a cliff and crash right through the roof of an orphanage, and I can’t find the brakes!!!”
Wait … yesterday he said “Paranormal sweep.” Thing is, THEY are paranormals. The whole school is crawling (literally) with paranormals of one sort or another. How are they going to distinguish between themselves and other paranormal entities? Or between lingering effects of the pupil’s and staff’s paranormal activities and “ghosts” paranormal activities? Residual energies must be all over the place all the time. Even when everyone has gone home.
Perhaps Daylla was referring to a sweep specifically to catalog and eliminate the expected activity by the paranormal students and staff from consideration. If they have the tech for it, someone has probably compiled measurements of the energy signatures of most kinds of paras, so they can check their readings against a list of the para types who are supposed to be at the school and pick out anomalies.
That feel when you suggest a perfectly sound, reasonable and logical course of action and the rest of the party ignores your advice and decides to do the exact opposite.
It’s almost like a compulsion to do so.
It took me a while to connect the dots, but I eventually figured out why the military is so insistent that people follow orders.
This is also why one of the first things the military teaches new officers or officer candidates is “Never give an order that youy know won’t be obeyed.”
It gets the troops in the habit of not obeying orders.
I’ve been wondering why they didn’t investigate this room first before going after some random abandoned building. They know they have ghost sign here — why wouldn’t it immediately become their top priority?
Looks like Scarlet hasn’t told them any of what she learned about her grandmother and her own abilities, though. Wonder why not?
Poor Scarlet!
Of course, she may solve the mystery of who this ghost is.
BTW, who is their advisor?
Dean Peterson?
Bryn Andersen. School principal and, more recently, Katherine’s significant other other.
Bryn is the principal, not necessarily the advisor.
I suppose it depends on whether or not the principal has principles…
She’s dating the mother of two of her students, that answer your question?
I’m getting the feeling Scarlet doesn’t want to go through with this.
Ya think? o_O

“I’d of gotten away with it too, if it hadn’t been for those dang’d kids!…”
‘ofF my stupidity’

Maybe it’s a sweep by paranormals…?
“Wonder Twin powers activate!”
‘Form of a. . . broom!’
‘Shape of a . . . dustpan!’

Remember, as far as most para’s are concerned, there is no such thing as ‘ghosts’
I see someone getting hit with that checkovs gun that was established like a year ago.
C’mon…Castela is a plant. This hominid stuff is hard…even for hominids.

Scarlett: We should not do that thing.
Everybody Else: We are doing the HELL out of that thing!
Research the history of this room by planning for a future event there?
…Is it just me, or does something about this seem to be a bit…off…about this idea?
0.o

I wonder if Daylla’s & Castela’s exchange, in the 2nd panel, has anything to do with Scarlet *bonk*ing her head against a file-cabinet.
