Oh noes!

Landru! They are not of the BODY!

oh cool, double jeopardy time.

i like that kid's blank stare in the corner of the last panel for some reason. like a cat looking at a big bug.

He's just a newBoorn.

@Dvandom — that is a fantastic joke, but unfortunately the heredetary name is Bcorn not Boorn. So I guess he’s just a newBcorn.

That awkward feeling, when your younger siblings have a higher level than yourself.

@Matuun, I think that's the mom with the higher level -- she continued to level up a bit while the child was too young to do much, so has around a ten- to fifteen-year lead...

Anyway. "firebeasts" seems like it could apply to all humans, or only those not in the game -- but that last panel makes it seem like it's all humans. Hope Axiom's got something up their, um, sleeve...

@Silent Observer: Nope, not just the mom. Next to her in the bottom left corner is the younger kid, 3 levels below mom's current, but 12 levels higher than the maybe-teenage kid with the non-pointy stick in their hands.

Aren't the 'natives' born at whatever level their mother was at when they were born? So older daughter started at a lower level, because MOM was at a lower level at the time.

Did her crystal command prism just get yoinked by the groves?

@Eric: I understood that reference! :)
Interesting that Ella and her minion appear to have been ejected from the game.

@Darchangel

Ella and the minion have not been ejected from the game. In that panel, we see things from Macro's eyes. Macro cannot see the game because he is not in the game.

"Axiom, terminate your mom's secret augur process and see if you can save the day!"

@Solokov
I think it's an art errror, not a yoink. Ella's crystal doesn't appear in the first panel of https://www.c.urvy.org/?date=20230603 either, but we see it reappear later (e.g. the page before this one).

I like that multiple eye/orifice motif you've been using for pan-dimensional beings. They have such a slippery feel.

Overmorrow:- we don't see her helmet, or her glowy stick, nor the outfit the other girl is wearing (including her noice hat), not even the giant space-bug about to _eat_ her

@Solokov: This is what Macro is seeing, he is not in the game.
