Grrl Power #1233 - Attack of Alexsiri!

Thank you for the support! You guys are awesome!

Well, the immediate emergency has passed, so it's time for a quick exposition. It doesn't help mitigate the situation, but at least Sydney and Harem have a better idea of what they're dealing with.

The "relatively recent emancipation legislation" means this particular category of magend isn't forced to do a particular job. That said, a lot of ætholiths generally prefer occupations like librarian, security system overwatch, inventory management, stuff like that. Many of them will take their body to work, then hop onto a specialized control cradle, and essentially "become the system," making them prized for such work. There's a also a large contingent who prefer to live monomorphic lives, attached to a single body, just like all the other organics. That doesn't mean they don't upgrade their meatbags on occasion. Being able to feel EM like a shark is popular with them. Most of them have that function in their horns, so don't expect the typical ætholith to go around headbutting anyone and throwing their 9G antenna out of whack.

Nearly all ætholiths are super not okay with jumping onto an unwilling host, because they don't want anyone proving the anti-ætholith contingent fear mongering correct. If it's found out that Lapha is trying to pull this move here on Earth, the other ætholith's won't invite her to play in any of their reindeer games anymore.

The new incentive is basically done. I want to put some finishing touches on it, but it should be up... you know, whenever I suggest it will be up with the Thursday comic that hasn't worked out, so let's say it will be up with next Monday's comic, but there's a teeny chance it might maybe be up with the Thursday comic. I mean, probably not, but maybe?
