Triangle and Robert #1411 I've thought of a solution to Orpuddex's problem. / I just recovered consciousness to find that we're on the moon. Don't change the subject. / I was brought here by the non-evil Starham. You crash-landed here after the ship depressurized. / Depressurized? I remember seeing ham. / The evil Starham must have smashed its way into the ship. Was it in the ship when it crashed? / I said "you crash-landed here", not "the ship crash-landed here". I think the ham is piloting.

Triangle and Robert #1412 The evil Starham threw me out of the ship and is piloting it? / You were sucked out when the ship depressurized. I don't think the ham even noticed you. / How does a ham notice? Or pilot? Robert, is sentient ham going to be the Eighth Race? / No. / I wasn't asking you. / The good and evil hams should cancel out once the Meat Sentry's plan takes effect. / Answer one question, raise three.

Triangle and Robert #1413 The Meat Sentry launched a third ham, with a lead-based honey glaze to protect it from the cosmic rays. When it gets close enough to the evil Starham, a chain reaction should destroy your ship. / We could have just launched a ham itself instead of taking it up in a ship? There are lead-based honey glazes? Ham can start a chain reaction? We're not going to have a ship to get back in? / Yes... not normally, but Linda adapted one... at zero atmospheric pressure, yes... and Linda's not very good at rescue planning, she was mostly concerned with keeping the evil Starham from reaching Earth. / Hooray! We're stranded!

Triangle and Robert #1414 If I were to ask a question concerning our continued lunar survival, would the rules of comic narrative come crashing in on us? / The good Starham's generating an atmosphere. / Odd, it doesn't smell like ham. / You don't have a nose.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1414
Triangle and Robert #1415 Did you just hear a thump? / Sort of. / I'll go look. / It's the evil Starham, and I think it's stunned! Bring the good one over here quickly! / How can a ham be stunned? / I don't know, meat's not my specialty. I think that we can combine the two hams to form a portal, though.

Triangle and Robert #1416 I thought you said crossing the hams was bad. / No. I never said anything even resembling that. / What are we going to do about the Dairy Sentry? / The what now? / The point was to get a Starham to transform the Dairy Sentry. / Wow. I'm surprised you remembered that. / So? / I'm saving the bones for soup.

Triangle and Robert #1417 Who dares come here? / Raise the universal gravitational constant of a pocket universe and the pudding will collapse more quickly. / What? / What? / It just sort of came to me. You can test Triangle's collapse hypothesis faster than real-time. / Very well. I shall perform the experiment.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1417
Triangle and Robert #1418 Robert, how... wha... what... / I figured the plot needed my help. / But you hate the plot. / All the more reason to get it over with. / Chosen One, you have my deepest thanks and apologies. My stirring was indeed meant to create life and chaos, not to destroy. Leave me now. I must release the tortured spirits from this misguided factory. / Hubba-wha? / Yay! We won!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1418
Triangle and Robert #1419: The Beforings Beyond: / The Chosen One has corrected the error of the Watcher. / So the plan proceeds. / Yes. Phase Four has come to pass. / Puddagogy.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1419
Triangle and Robert #1420 Robert... I'm jealous. / You were the one who realized what no one else did about Orpuddex. / I believed Orpuddex's interpretation of his past as much as anyone else did. I wasn't really expecting the experiment to vindicate your theory. / That's just it. What took me years to start, you finished in the space of a few strips with a single brainstorm. / We don't have brains. / Do you have to say that every time a metaphor involves a human body part?
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1420
 
Triangle and Robert #1421 Yip yip? Yip yip? / Calm down! / I'm trying to stretch these two bones into as much soup as possible without destroying their magic. If I just gave you the bones there wouldn't be any left for the next crisis. / Yip yip! / Robert, can you take the Dairy Sentry out for a walk or something? / Come here, boy!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1421
Triangle and Robert #1422 Arf! Arf! Arf! / What is it? / Down, boy! Wait, do I know you? / Ruff! / Down! Down! / Is that the Dairy Sentry? / Yes. / I was hoping to meet with the Sentries. Are they all... / No, just the one. / Grrrr...
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1422
Triangle and Robert #1423 Hold! / Would you believe I come in peace? / I would, but I doubt that the other Sentries would be interested in discussing anything with you. / The others are here? Would you pass along a message for me? / I doubt it would do very much good, but I am willing.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1423
Triangle and Robert #1424 Can I... listen, I would like to... is this a bad time? / Yes! / You get back here and pick up these crumbs! / They're not my crumbs! / It was your idea to bread the thing live! / Please be quiet, I'm still vibrating.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1424
Triangle and Robert #1425 If you'd breaded it properly the crumbs would be in the crumb tray! / You said it was stunned, It wasn't stunned. / You gave it time to recover! / What exactly were you trying to do in my kitchen? / Ms. Concarne here wanted to bread an eel. / Not electric, I hope. / No, it was acoustic.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1425
 
Triangle and Robert #1426 F# / What? / The eel attacked me before it went under the sink. I apparently make an excellent tuning fork. / It's under the sink? / It's not my fault! / My sink? / No-kill sashimi was not my idea. / Get out, all of you.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1426
Triangle and Robert #1427 You, as well. Out. / As soon as I can move. / Then tell me. Why an eel? Why breading? Why in my kitchen, of all places? / This restaurant's closer to the aquarium than our own cooking sites. / But... a live eel? / Ms. Concarne had a theory about using live seafood as a spell component to save costs. Why an eel in particular, I don't know.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1427
Triangle and Robert #1428 I can move now. I'm sorry about all this. / Yes, you probably are. / Can I help you get rid of the eel and clean up? / No. I told you to get out. / And wipe your lower vertex so you don't leave a trail of breadcrumbs through the dining area!
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1428
Triangle and Robert #1429 I still don't understand why they had to use my kitchen for their experiment. Perhaps this sort of thing is why the Sentries of separate foods groups traditionally lived in different lands. / Oh, well. Right now I have an eel to contend with. Where's the big fork? / This scene sort of trails off from here. Let's jump ahead to one with Cube in it. / Hold on, I'm not ready yet.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1429
Triangle and Robert #1430 It works! It actually works! And... it's not being drawn. / I'll draw it later, when I have a better idea of what it looks like. / I should get Triangle and Robert over here and do a demonstration, I suppose. / Yeah, They should hear what it has to say. / Next saga: The Coming of Recapulon / Saga? / Well... no.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1430
 
Triangle and Robert #1431 Hey there, neighbor! Out walking the Sentry? / Hi, Cube. Yeah, one last walk before we change him back. / I discovered something on my last expedition. I think it might be important to the strip. / We have enough plot already. / It might be able to help with some of the loose ends, actually. How about you and Triangle come over later tonight or tomorrow, after you've taken care of the Dairy Sentry?
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1431
Triangle and Robert #1432 Hold still, I'm still making some very precise broth measurements. / I thought the soup would be done by now. / Hardly. / Last time, I wasted the Starham's power on a single pot. This time I'm not boiling a thing until I'm confident I can get the maximum possible number of servings. / That sounds reasonable. / So far I'm up to an estimated five thousand half-cups. / I knew saying it sounded reasonable would get you to mention the unreasonable part.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1432
Triangle and Robert #1433 Cube wants us to come over and look at some sort of plot-related artifact. / When I'm done with the soup. / How many people do we know? / What? / There's no reason for any one person to have more than 99 healing items. / You know I don't believe in that stuff. Leave me to my soup.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1433
Triangle and Robert #1434 This has been going on too long. Just make the soup already. / Not until I can be sure there'll be enough. / Enough for what? / Enough that I won't feel guilty if we run out anyway. / How could we go through five thousand servings of magic radioactive soup? / It doesn't matter. We might. / I'm supposed to be the one obsessing over trivial improbabilities. / It's not trivial. We have to be prepared for... something... ?...
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1434
Triangle and Robert #1435 Triangle, there aren't any battles left to fight. We don't need to stockpile healing potions. / It's never wrong to stockpile healing potions. / Listen to yourself. You once said you weren't a warrior. / I'm not a warrior! I just want to... I just... / Robert, watch the hams. I need to go for a walk. / I've never hamsat before. / You'll do fine.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1435
 
Triangle and Robert #1436 I don't know if this will work. / Could you explain for the readers... / You do it. / Triangle wanders the streets of the city, hoping to again stumble upon the strange supernatural road on which he first encountered the will of the Beforings. / Close enough. / You know that even if you find the place it won't be staffed well enough to help you, right? / I do.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1436
Triangle and Robert #1437 ...and then I get confused and double back here, and... / there. / TRIANGLE? / I have some questions. / I SHALL SAY WHAT I CAN. / Yeah, actually, can I talk to your supervisor? / SUPERVISOR? / You're tier one supernatural support, right? / I CAN"T JUST ESCALATE YOU ON YOUR SAY-SO.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1437
Triangle and Robert #1438 What do I have to do for you to escalate me to your supervisor? / YOU MUST PASS THROUGH THE CHECKLIST. / Okay, let's start. / HAVE YOU RECENTLY INSTALLED A NEW BELIEF SYSTEM? / System? No. / HAVE YOU BEEN INGESTING ANY PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES? / Just soy and fluoride. / An indeterminate amount of time passed as Triangle answered question after question. Eventually... / OKAY, PAGE SEVEN. HAS A FRIEND, NEIGHBOR, FAMILY MEMBER, OR CO-WORKER RECENTLY UNEARTHED A POWERFUL ARTIFACT WITH A POSSIBLE LINK TO YOUR DESTINY? / Uh... yes. / THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1438
Triangle and Robert #1439 Triangle! You're back already? / Apparently my personal crisis won't be resolved until we talk to Cube and trigger a plot event. / And yet you don't believe in the ninety-nine potion rule. / I... I know that quips like that are something you very much enjoy, but... not now. I'd rather not hear them at the moment. Let's see Cube. / Should we just leave the Dairy Sentry in the house? / I sincerely and without sarcasm wish that I could care. I'm not trying to be rude. At least, I don't think I am.
http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?1439
Triangle and Robert #1440 Hi there! You'll really like this thing I dug up. Works great. What's wrong with Triangle? / I think he's having an identity crisis. He wants to fight without being a fighter. Or maybe he's hung over. / Hung over what? / Don't banter. It bothers him. / Right then. Now, about this demonstration. I was called in to a construction excavation when they found a Fourth Race "temple." We all know they're not really temples, but... I'm forcing myself out of the panel with my text again. Poot.
