Let's Burn Some Muscle!! p147

Heh… boobs which want to take over the universe is an old joke (like here: <a href="http://goo.gl/4ck68Y" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/4ck68Y</a> ) could be an interesting story, but I think I think LBSM is too rational for that. Besides most really disdainful things Than did when she was as big as she is now or smaller. We've not seen nothing REALLY atrocious since she became the head of pATAgon… it does not mean she was all good all that time: she did something “bad”, obviously, else Feds wouldn't bother to push her out of pATAgon, we've just not seen that. Heck, she even refused to bring “doctor in quotes” into pATAgon… most likely because she knew that bored “doctor in quotes” could do something really crazy!

What if the boobs made her do it, and Alexis is the mastermind now?

Who's Brenna Myers again?

AFAIK Alexis never kidnapped anyone and haven't tried to sic the cops on anyone. She haven't used bought senators and haven't bribed police, too. She's not above gloating, sure, but few people would be good enough not to gloat when they defeated their years-old rival. Note: Alexis is undoubtedly a better person, but to say that she's a saint would be a gross overstatement. The fate of oft-recalled Brenna Meyers attests to that: mistakes happen, but as we know instead of trying to help her somehow Ysabell just transferred Brenna to “long-term specimen observation” facility. The mere fact that Alexis approved existence of such facility is disturbing… but compared to many things Than did… that's not so bad. Than is not better planner, she's just freer in her plans since she does not try to play “fair”. Which could be Alexis downfall… competitors rarely play “fair”… the most you could usually expect is “legal” which is not the same thing at all. Than is undoubtedly bitter here because Alexis have stolen her breasts, but she couldn't even openly complain that such deed was “unfair”: she tried to do the very same to Alexis first. And while Than needed to be brought down a peg or two badly… I seriously doubt that Than decided to turn into Mother Teresa just because of that one episode. Yes that episode undoubtedly made her rethink her former attitude, about her acquitances and friend (do she have any?), she have changed and, most likely, lost some of her arrogance, but to suddenly become a completely different person… as Stanislavski said: “I don't believe.” She have some plans… I guess we'll know about them in the next chapter…

Funny how quick Alexis is giving Than the same arrogance she had received before. Showing she isn't really any better than Than. Sure Than might have received a hit but she isn't K.O. yet. I think there is still a bigger plan behind all this. Compared to Alexis, Than sure is a mastermind.

I wonder if this is a point where we see a change in Than's character, where she becomes a bit more humble since she's been brought down a peg.

Than crashing in Annabel's garage? I'd watch that sitcom. It would be like the odd couple, but with more boobs. Hope Annabel isn't out of the picture though. She one of my favorite background characters. She has a Jessica Rabbit "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way" kind of vibe to her.

We still don't know quite how long its been since Alexis took over and what the larger state of things is with respect to the Feds. I imagine probably not much has changed assuming it hasn't been more than a couple weeks or months at max. For somebody like Annabel, it sounds like she's maybe still just employed directly by Than as her personal assistant so not much has likely changed there.

I'm thinking there's something a little sinister behind Than's transition that she's not telling us. Who's to say she truly lost?

Munch

Than's lips look fuller.She IS taking this pretty well,but I really want to know more about what her new plans are.

CZealot

Lower frame? Than's breasts are off to the right, she have just turned her body about 60 or so degrees. Her breasts have lost A LOT OF volume and bound to be quite pliable thus such move shouldn't be uncomfortable. And she could see straight ahead in such position, which is also a plus.

Khimru

I think the shot is a sort of POV slightly behind and in between the curvature of Than's breasts.

I could see this interaction ending with Than walking away towards the camera muttering or thinking something sufficiently ominous to herself, hinting at her real motivations. I just have a really hard time thinking Than would take all this totally in stride and not at minimum have some sort of revenge plot at the very least being cooked up in her mind, even if she isn't ready to launch it yet. There just isn't anything that we've seen of her thus far personally to make us think she'd have not only her company taken from her but also her boob size stolen from her and she'd basically be totally ok with that. I'd totally be ok with Than going back to the Doctor or back to her R&amp;D hideout to look into Boost or bringing Heather on board with her filler to think of some new way to one up Alexis... provided nothing too crazy happens to Than in the process :)

Guybuddy1

The first frame's perspective is really cool but I'm still trying to wrap my head around what's going on with Than in the bottom one. She's grabbing Alexis but the way her body is angled seems off or something. Its hard to tell with the shot as zoomed in as it is I guess.

Guybuddy1

Kind of agree, I think. I really hope that Than is not done yet. The fact that she helps with the transition means that she really cares about fate of pATAgon… which is really unexpected although I'm not 100% sure if she does it because she cares about fate of pATAgon dwellers or because she considers it a temporary setback and is still hopes to dislodge Alexis at some point. I like one quote from “Rifts” RPG where Splynncryth explains why he avoids confrtontation: “This planet is filled with beings of immense power. If I brought my full force to bear, so would they, and we would tear this planet apart.” I like to think that THIS is why Than does not like to attempt a direct confrontation. Would be interesting to know how many of former Than supporters have switched to Alexis, how many of these have stuck with Than and what they would attempt to do…

On the other hand I must commend Zdemian for nice (and a bit unusual) perspective of the first frame. It shows the insane size of Alexis breasts (we don't see their size but it's easy to see that it's “exceptional load”-class size), we see that they are most definitely attached, we see the [minuscule but existing] range of Alexis mobility (she probably could move her body a feet or so without shifting her boobs), it's really nice frame.

Khimru

For half a second, it looked like Than just shoved aside her own boob and it wasn't attached. Quite the freak out moment. Her shirt and Alexis's outfit are a little too similar in close-up view for my comfort.

JA

Clearly Than is bigger as a person than I gave her credit for. Though this is clearly some time lapse later, so until proven wrong by a flashback, I shall continue to believe that she spent a while crashing in like... Annabel's Garage being coddled by her only friend.

mr.coma

Which brings about the question, how much has the corporate takeover affected employees like Annabel?

Uhhh. Don'the get cocky... I think Than's sarcasm and being to the point means she is planing something.

Clark Nova

I see that envy in that probing, palming, grope. I have this distant feeling Than is gonna dredge up that employee "test subject" file pertaining to the early Boost trials experiments.
