That is possily the worst thing anyone can possibly say when they are allready in trouble. Agathahetrodyne 04:22, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
Err, Agatha is now apparently able to unconsciously access memories and techniques of Lucrezia. And that new little clank looks worryingly like a miniature hive engine! Brrokk 11:52, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Well, Lucrezia says that Agatha is tapping into her knowledge a few pages back - it's primarily why she wants Agatha to die. However, Agatha also saw and handled the mini-hive engine - though she didn't have time then to figure out exactly what it was - but the mini-hive engine was not created by Lucrezia, so its design wouldn't be in her memories (however the combination of Lucrezia's and Agatha's knowledge and talents should make such a thing obvious). Some design elements could certainly come thru. But I think what we have here is the Alpha Prime Dingbot - one Dingbot to rule them all (until Agatha builds another of course - she seems to build those things automatically). And we also have Zeetha delivering the famous last words. --Zerogee 13:16, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
Interesting thats the first dingbot i've seen with an antenna. and yes they are totally doomed. Agathahetrodyne 21:47, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Is it the first we've seen with two eyes? All I can remember offhand had only one eye. --Zerogee 01:58, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
- It is the first time a Dingbot with two eyes has been highlighted, but some have appeared before ✣ . Argadi 09:05, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
Yes indeed... doomed. Zeetha violated Rule Number Two: "Never ask how bad it could be, because ´it´ will hear you, and demonstrate just how bad it can be." FWIW, Rule Number One is Pratchett´s "Do not act incautiously in front of wrinkly bald smiling old men". -Sir Chaos 22:42, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
I'm a bit concerned over the fact that the mini-clanks are stealing parts and tools, and I don't mean I'm concerned simply because it's hindering the sparks' work. The mini-clanks don't generally do things just to be a nuisance (even if that is a consequence); they must be separately working on a project of their own that requires the tools. Construction of a new clank? Repair of some castle mechanism? Or maybe they're just busy hiding booze and women ✣ , as that's the last command I recall them being shown to receive. =P --Undomelin 07:47, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
