Latest strip: 285 – Friday, July 10, 2026
Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: This Sucker Is Nuclear
OIB-A271 (voice from phone): Nope, none at all. They are just plain frisbees. However, I do notice something very interesting…
Alana: Which is?
OIB-A271 (voice): The reactor's output goes to a lower zone near you, it consumes an enormous amount of power and produces a lot of heat. But, I cannot look inside it, its “level security” is off the charts.
View of OIB-A271 in the real world.
Alana (voice): Any way in?
OIB-A271: No obvious way… but, there is a ventilation shaft. Not ideal, because it's a pretty steep vertical drop and I cannot see how deep really, or how it ends.
Alana (voice): Well, if it kills us… the respawn chamber is nearby. Let's go.
