      Just scoot into the 13th dimension and you pass them up. Unless you want to whop some of them on their backsides, then you unlock the gate into the 12th dimension and you can get away with shadow whopping and they’ll not see you. It’s like swatting at a mosquito that you can hear but you can’t find. Heh, heh.3

      Good times. Good times.

      Well, the eighth dimension is right out, since that’s where the red lectroids are imprisoned…

        Better avoid the sixth dimension too, its forbidden.

        Buckaroo had quite a bit of trouble with those red Lectroids. John Lithgow lost his mind over them. Poor guy. He’s never been the same since. Last I heard he thinks he’s an alien teaching Physics.

        Sigh. It’s the stress.

      Bud went to the dimension where the demons reside (the 11th dimension) when they destroyed the Calendar Machine, in order to rescue Jin’s mother.

    If Scarlet had suggested that they “Reverse the Polarity of the Neutron Flow”, I would suspect her of being a Time Lord.

    Does Scarlet get bustier the more she uses technobabble?

      Yes, yes she does.

      I’ve got another three years of field observations and data collection before I can release my paper on the theme + archetype character physical traits inversion approach to the Wapsiverse however current preliminary findings support such a hypothesis given the anecdotal history. You may recall that I was the long-time reader to established Monica’s locked-in age using only time and seasonal clues embedded in the strip several years before Paul actually confirmed it officially and canonically. Yes, pride can also puff up ones chest.

        I would, but remembering back that far tends to make my head hurt.

        Definitely an impressive phenomenon! I hope it works as well for you!

        I recall other unusual phenomenon associated with that part of the anatomy. One recollection is the phenomenon of that part emitting a glow or rather intermittent glowing accompanied by a medium level sounding humm when the subject is in a hyper-aware, hyper-focused state of mind.

      It’s a little-known fact that technobabble possesses both mass and volume, which obviously has to go somewhere. 😏

    Alas, I tend to tune out the latter-day “Star Trek” talk. (I would’a said “technobabble” but Meander beat me to it.)

      I live for a good dose of technobabble. My only real fault with latter-day Trek is that they tend to avoid it.

    So, has Scarlet already researched what the anchors actually anchor, why whoever anchored the anchors did so, and if they considered the harmful effects on x-based lifeforms when they did?

    Because, y’know, altering how something behaves, when you don’t know why it was behaving how it was, can have the potential to result in some pretty nasty fallout.

        Is that before or after they see their own shadows?

    Hit by lightning – the paranormal’s version of dropped on your head maybe?

      No, droppednon her head would mean she is an idiot. This is more like the lightning supercharged her neurons and made her a super genius.

    Being hit by lightning at a young age does tend to produce some interesting side-effects, witness “Powder.”

    Thought Bud was referencing “Doc Brown”, but he hit his head on a toilet
    Oh wait, he did get hit by lightning as well, sort of
