This is epic and amazing and Falst’s arm will have been rendered completely unsusable by the time they get out
These two have an excellent dynamic and I love them both very much
That arm has been damaged for so long, Ali is going to have trouble healing it, soul-stracture reweaving itself faster in Ferins and all (remember mentions of it in çhapter 10 and when Alinua had to remove a metal bolt from his wrist). Even if she ignores his complete lack of self care in this situation, she’s gonna be understandably upset that every damn person in this group keeps getting hurt the moment she averts her gaze, I believe.
(A feeling Kendal, Erin and Falst all experience on the regular as well, I believe)
This is an action packed, exciting page! I love all the comic book descriptions of action! Especially ‘Wump! Wham! Skidddd’!
@Veggiesnake Well it looks like and I was wrong. Not only was Falst not dead- he immediately saved Dainix from the sane fate! I admit your Kung Fu is greater than my Kung Fu…
Boundless energy that Falst’s body can not constrain.
P.S. @Veggiesnake- I made a Freudian slip above. I meant to type ‘You were right and I was wrong’. (bow in apology and respect!)
Falst still carrying the team with a broken arm. Why am I not surprised?
So between Dainix, the spider and the gas pocket, the automaton decided the spider was the greatest threat it seems. It may have even calculated that zapping the spider would ignite the gas and take down the cave person, eliminating all threats, while it got Falst to safety. Good idea on paper, in practice, not so much.
Hmm, I wonder what’s in that pouch Dainix is reaching for in panel 4; must be something in responce to the igniting gas. My money is on some kind of mask of face covering to keep any harmful fumes out.
Lovely display of lighting and SFX, I like the subtle rumble effects going on in panels 3-5; overshadowed by the harsh cracking and popping, but still there and foreboding in the background. With that and the final “FLOOM”, I think running is the name of the game now.
Prediction for next week: I’m going to go for a wild guess and say that gas pocket explosion will not only destroy the dome but also cause a noticible rumble above ground. This will alert Erin and Tess and lead them to finding out the boys are not there.
Falst is the intuitive improviser (and good guy despite his fiercely independent growling) while Dainix is the well prepared professional. Sorry to harp but the two are wonderful foils for each out in gross and subtle ways. (‘gross’ as in loud, broad ways)
Dainix: I appreciate you saving me, but your arm has to be *so* broken now-
Though the robot has assisted with the spider, it might not be so helpful next page. After all, these robots are very anti-cave people, and now Falst is in close contact with one…
Falst. Honey. I know your possible newfound bestie is in life-threatening danger, but at least 205 of your bones are probably broken so would you PLEASE calm down?
at this point i am convinced that Falst is the epitome of that one highly specific character trope where the character is screaming ‘God damn it, damn you! i hate you!’ while saving someone’s life completely on instinct and also maybe taking a bullet for them.

That got me to laugh!
Dammit, I was just about to make the same joke
Not gonna lie, I’m so used to reading this on mobile that even on computer I scroll down to read your comment XD
@Zer0 Wolf is a true friend to mobile phone users here (smile)
We are currently witnessing the prototypical Kyana DNA taking effect

Tho
Alinua is either going to be mad again or relieved that the injury is much simpler than Kendal’s 😛

The bolt was from Chapter 15.
Who’s a good lionboy?! You are. Yes you are. <3
Falst: Shut up.
Dainix, squeezing in beside you: Am I a good boy?!
Yes, I’m bringing back the Dainix is a labrador retriever thing
You would do us a great service by doing that
Falst – a cat who doesn’t like being called a good boy but secretly loves it.
Dainix – a labrador who craves being called a good boy and would do anything for that.
he never learns
that arm is gonna be mega broken
Yay! Robot saves the day.
Danix! Be careful, bro! Catboy’s got a probably dislocated shoulder!
i think it’s a *tiny* bit more than a dislocated shoulder
‘minuscule’ even

Bright robot laser
Spider down, but how’s Dainix?
Falst comes with the save
(Bonus)
Messy landing, but
Beggars cannot be choosers
At least they’re alive
The robot shoots lightning, breaks spider and wall
And Falst catches Dainix amidst his fall
Utterly disarming loyalty and care from Falst.
I wonder how much longer in these caves for them, ‘cuz if a while…we’ll witness Falst’s arm disintegrate into dust.
I am pretty sure Dainix knows first aide given his background but can he find or have the right tools?
oh my god. i think Falst might be a top

Falst sees lightning ‘CRACK’,
Dainix lacks a safe escape.
Leap and bound through pain.
I guess it really is “bridal carry or be bridal carried” in this world…
It’s supposed to be Snap, Crack, and Pop, not Crack, Kzzzt, Pop and Snap.
My thoughts exactly!!
But don’t you know only bad things ever go “crack” … [Insert puritan comment on how rice crispies are the devil]
(facepalm and moans) I’ll I’ll give that a two groaner…
Ouch bro he was pulling out a grappling line or something he would have been fine please STOP ???

Falst! Every instinct to be a hero! Does the catch perfectly, but OMFG what is he doing to his poor arm?!
TL;DR: How does he just shake off all the broken bones??? Also, spider get zapped.
Maybe adrenaline is numbing the pain? Then its not gonna be great for Falst once it wears off
Helpful bot? AI Bug-zapper?
Dainix: I appreciate you saving me, but your arm has to be *so* broken now-

do you think i could plug my phone into the robot’s electric laser scorpion tail?
I like that one @Tombshire! Thanks! (smile)
Did that robot just helpd them?
get scooped orange boy
bridal style
Lightning butt will never get old
wait, what happened to Dainix’ knife? he’s still holding it in panel two, but it’s gone from panel four. I guess he must have dropped it
So the cargo bay is already collapsing; I’d hate to be anywhere near it when the gas explosion goes off.
Hooray! Now Falst’s bones are twice broken. He’s really testing the limits of ferin endurance down here, isn’t he…
Ok but will we still get to see the Dainix bridal carry Falst?
Cute carry
Imagine Falst just dropping Dainix and screaming from his broken arm in the next page. Like…
Dainix: “Falst… You saved my life! How can I ever-”
*Falst drops Dainix and falls to his knees*
Falst: “AaaaaaaaAAAAAAA-“
Falst. Honey. I know your possible newfound bestie is in life-threatening danger, but at least 205 of your bones are probably broken so would you PLEASE calm down?
Dainix: Falst! You saved me!
Falst:
Falst: Stop looking at me like that it’s not like I had a choice
Don’t break yourself Falst
The fans will riot
at this point i am convinced that Falst is the epitome of that one highly specific character trope where the character is screaming ‘God damn it, damn you! i hate you!’ while saving someone’s life completely on instinct and also maybe taking a bullet for them.
Finally up to date
Also Kyana carrying everyone vibes
