Description

"So, the Administrator invited me to her place for dinner, but it turns out it was just an ambush to kill me. She does this every few years, it's like her version of an employee review! She’s not that bad once you get to know her.
Anyway, got time for a contract?”

Oh my god. That description. That's so freaking cruel and totally in-character for the administrator.

If I were the Administrator, I'd keep out of Scout's way for a while. It's unlikely he'd be able to get to her and kill her but he'd probably smash a lot of security apparatus and kill lots of bodyguards and they're just a pain to replace.

Considering how easily the Heavy and the Pyro infiltrated the Administrator's lair despite the guards and the security in "The Showdown" comic, I don't think he's got too much to worry about.

It's a great picture of Miss Pauling. I wonder what would happen if the Administrator ended up dead in the ambush?

Oh man I love that voice line of hers. It's definitely one of my favourites! (I love how you can hear some random guys in the background as well)

Her voice lines from Tough Break are super dynamic! I like how much you're able to tell about her surroundings and where she is based on the background details of each call.

Miss Pauling really has to put up with a lot, but she'll probably stay loyal until death if she's as committed as was shown in the comics.

Alright, maybe we should form a group here on DA called the Ms. Pauling Protection Squad.

Miss Pauling, one of the most hardcore female game character, and she's just an errand runner..

uberchain In reply to HannanSilverscale [2017-08-31 01:22:29 +0000 UTC]

In the comic book series, Miss Pauling seems a lot more hopeful that there's something for her at the end of all her errands. 

"I've worked for her my whole life. I've lied for her. Framed people for her. Killed people for her. Do you think I'd do all that if I didn't know what she is? What she's capable of? Do you think I'm some kind of stupid pawn here? I know exactly what she could do with that kind of power. And I'll be right there with her when she does it."

However, based on a dream she had, there may be more to it than we think and she might always have doubts.

It may be all concluded in the final comic! Which, given our luck is coming in another 1-2 years...

I dunno man, with Jay Pinkerton (aka the writer of the series) leaving, I don't know if we'll get it at all... At least he promised to tell us what happens if it's not done by the time he leaves!

HannanSilverscale In reply to Beginneratart [2017-08-31 13:41:20 +0000 UTC]

It should be... The reason why the comics are slow is most likely due to having to draw the panel art. I'm sure we all know how long it takes if it's over 40pgs...

Beginneratart In reply to HannanSilverscale [2017-08-31 13:46:51 +0000 UTC]

Not necessarily. The staff did mention that they did have to work on other stuff as well. Besides, ~70 pages (well at least individual photoshop files) is a lot, but it doesn't take a year to draw those.

She's lived for a while now, I think the Administrator understands she's too valuable to kill. However, that doesn't necessarily mean she deserves more days off work to get used to actually having days off work, to say the very least.
