I snorted out loud at the harpoon thing. :p

That delights me! :-D (Especially because I threw this in just with the intention to patch up a potential plot hole.)

Tarik a bit slow on the uptake.

But wait, what fiendish plot is this!?

Microraptor
Tarik tries, but he is far from being a master detective yet! ;-)

Ytterbium tried this out once before - but now this seems to work significantly better!
But don't worry, we'll find out soon what it actually is that she is trying to accomplish here... (Spoiler: It's nothing good!)

Wouldn't that have been bringing a harpoon to a gun fight?

I guess Sören would at least have had a tiny chance to disarm or to impal- uh, I mean to incapacitate Ytterbium before she has the opportunity to pull the trigger...

I think I saw that on Cowboy Beebop one time... :p

I am unfortunately not all too familiar with Cowboy Beebop - but yes, this sounds like the kind of crazy thing that could happen in an anime...

Uh oh, looks like shit's gonna go Sealab 2021 down here

I sadly don't know much about Sealab 2021... :-(
(Aside from recognizing the obvious parallel of the plot taking place under water.)

Um... it kinda looks like that might be doing something that even Ytterbium wasn't expecting...

And that harpoon thing. Golden :)
Microraptor edit delete reply
Microraptor
As of yet, it's all according to Ytterbium's plan - with the emphasis on "as of yet!!!" ;-)

And I find it intriguing that so many of you are commenting on the harpoon thing - sometimes it's something rather unexpected (by the author) that catches the readers' attention!

I love Tarik being oblivious af :')

Nice to know that the "Tarik only gets it after it has become super obvious"-thing comes across as intended! :-D

(Also, it kinda ironic considering that earlier I established him to be a total Sherlock Holmes fanboy...)

Sherlock fanboy, oblivious as anything... *sigh* he has my sympathies.
Microraptor edit delete reply
Microraptor
Yep! The irony, the cruel irony!

Maybe one day I'll actually do a "Tarik tries his hand at being a detective" chapter...

Nooo that would be painful! XD It could work... but it would still be painful to watch.
