Latest strip: 276 – Tuesday, June 9, 2026
Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: System Schlock
Heidi (voice): If the spawning of those bots is similar to our respawns, we might indeed be able to hack that chamber such that we respawn in there. OIB-A271, do you see a way to do that?
OIB-A271: I briefly had more access while the bot was destroyed. But, I'll need more bandwidth to pull off a stunt like that.
Heidi: Would it help if I get closer to the chamber with my virtual monitoring device?
OIB-A271: Definitely, the closer the better.
Max: Let me blast that new bot, then we sprint towards the chamber.
Adil: Hmm, then my avatar had better be fitter than my real self.
Alana: The worst that can happen is that we'll all have to respawn. Adil, take Zhang's bat and start thwacking at any materializing bot, for what it's worth. Just don't damage the chamber itself.
Adil: No hand grenades then?
Alana: No!
