hedgie:
If the birds have ostrich like legs, they'll do better than horses. Over long distances, bipedal motion is more efficient, and ostriches have *very* efficient locomotion.
FunkyTuba:
Update!
I think that's the first sliver of actual interest and wonder we've seen on Gavia's face in the whole comic.
pwhodges:
And Ardent's still beating himself up over it in spite of Alice's explanation.
Kugai:
The Reeducation of Gavia continues. Todays lesson - Firemaking without Nanotech
Poor Ardent, he's gonna be in a funk for a while I think

I also think that there is a bit of blame being directed from him Alice's way too. He needn't bother; I get the impression that Alice blames herself for everything, including things that, for no sane reason imaginable, could she be responsible. I suspect that's what made Sedna leave her. She couldn't handle Alice's thundering conceit that, if only she was faster, smarter or more perceptive she would have foreseen and prevented some disaster.
I'm starting to wonder if Gavia is going to start on her very own Tech Tree. Sedna is going to teach her about the base principles that underlie science and engineering and she's going to start trying to push herself up them by pure force of will (and endless amounts of scrap stuff lying just beneath the surface).
