Grrl Power #543 - Patreon 2x

Easiest way to do that is actually to go to the homepage for the comic. <a href="http://www.grrlpowercomic.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.grrlpowercomic.com/</a>

Is there a way to read the comic here starting with page 1? Or do I really have to click myself through "Load more" at the bottom of the screen?

Be neat if the last orb was a control panel, so Sydney could use any combination of orbs with one hand. Of course, then she'd be seriously overpowered...

....really big cloud of clustered bubbles would remove ambient water-pressure around the body, resulting in a sudden loss of buoyancy - awesome potential attack, you could sink boats like this if she can make a big enough bubble underneath them - hey, does she have positive buoyancy with the bubble cloud around her - would she be dragged upwards? So many potential exploits... and I vote for Bag of Holding, even if we already have one of those in 'verse.

Your confident assertion at the beginning of your post is not as rock solid as you assume in the Grrl Power universe. :)

Warp Drive might be part of the propulsion orb, one of the two unlit chains. I don't see the holodeck being necessary, it's more of a luxury or a specialty system. Navigation is my bet. On a world with a suitable network of satellites, it might work as GPS, and otherwise it might use inertial or stellar navigation. Out in space it could show where to aim for your destination, based on what's unlock on the propulsion orb...

I also wonder about the final orb. That and the gas orb were both tested out before hand, but there powers were unknown because they didn't seem to do anything. We now know the green one makes gas, which we could only see because Sydney happened to be under water at the time. If the final orb could open up a portal, then either something is missing or she would have seen the portal during her tests. Maybe it's how it puts stuff into it's hammer space. Still there would need to be some kind of interface for taking stuff out of it. I'm also wondering about a nav computer. It seems like that would try and feed Sydney information somehow. Either a hologram display like the tech tree, or feed it directly into her mind. Either way it seems like she would notice that.

I love the way Sydney's mind works.... &gt;:D

Given this might be some kind of space ship, I wonder how many arms the race that made them have. It seems like you would have to use more then two at a time in some cases, since you can't drop the shield while in space, and you need the life support a good deal of the time, and can only move with flight.

Here is what I am wondering. Since matter can neither be created nor destroyed, where is the "air" coming from? - Does the orb absorb air when not in use, compress it, and release it at a later time when needed? - Does it convert surrounding matter into air? For example, under water like that, does it break H2O unto O2 and H? What happens to the H? Does it convert CO2 into O2 when above water? Where does the Carbon go? ...and in both cases, what happens to the excess heat from the process? - Does it pull in the air from another location, essentially teleporting it? - It it is matter conversion, which I think seems the most likely option, what are the limits of that conversion process? More importantly, are there fail-safes in place to keep the conversion process from going too far? ...oh, and extending Max's last question, can it be used to create other gases? Fill a space with Helium, Hydrogen, or a "sleeping gas".

Sydney having a GPS power makes me think of this comic from a few years ago in El Goonish Shiv (Sorry for linking another creators work in your comments) <a href="http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2176" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2176</a>

well... give a child a toy... i think it would be really cool if it was the nav another anoying thing speaking with you other then your personalities xD

So when is Ashley going to make gloves that mean Sydney can hold three orbs in each hand?! and is that Harem about to get the shock of her 5 lives?
