| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Fooker: I-it CAN'T be...
/ Ki: YOU! I should have KNOWN you were somehow behind this! / Ki: And you just couldn't stay away, could you? You had to take one final stab at ruining my and Nick's happiness! Not THIS time, Trudy!
/ Trudy: I'm afraid you have me... confused with someone else, Ms. Oshiro. / Ki: "Ms. Oshiro"? My, aren't WE formal now. Allow me to formally get out of this gown and I'll formally kick your--
/ Fooker: Wait, Ki! / Fooker: You can't rip her a new one, not until we find out what's going on.
/ Ki: Why the heck not?
/ Fooker: That's NOT our Trudy!
/ Ki: How would YOU know? / Fooker: Because I KNOW where our Trudy is, and she's NOT here. I don't know who this woman is, but beating her up ISN'T going to help find Nick. / Patty: [[speaking to Scott and Tim]] Did you ever get the impression we came into this mess several years too late? http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060115.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Linda Wellington: Thank you for telling us, Mr. Duncan.
/ Dwayne: I promise we're doing everything to find out what's going on. / Mrs. Oshiro: Aiya. This is terrible. Your son does not seem the type to run from his own wedding.
/ Linda Wellington: He's not, so I agree with Fooker that something has happened. / Mr. Oshiro, scowling: Bah! I _knew_ he was untrustworthy! At least _my_ child is here.
/ Charles Wellington: Actually, your _son_ still hasn't arrived, so we're technically one-for-one. / {{Actually, Yoshi has arrived, supporting someone who appears to be Trudy from another universe/dimension/timeline/reality, but Dwayne must not have mentioned this when he told the parents about Nick's disappearance.}} / Linda Wellington: Technically, dear, we're down two, since Lori can't get here.
/ Charles Wellington: Quite right. I guess it doesn't look good for the Wellingtons...
/ Mr. Oshiro, looking enraged, totally disgusted, or both: BAH! http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060116.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Dwayne speaks to Ki. In the background, the woman who looks like Trudy is sitting, with Fooker looking at her.]]
/ Dwayne: Most of the guests have left. Nick's dad is handling the last few stragglers.
/ Ki: Thanks, Dwayne. / [[ Dwayne speaks to Fooker. ]]
/ Dwayne: Oh, and I just saw a couple of black SUVs and a van pull up. I'll bet the cavalry has arrived.
/ Fooker: Gotcha, chief. / [[Dwayne and Nicole are in the background. Dwayne's arm is around Nicole's shoulders. In the foreground, Ki glares at the woman who resembles Trudy, who is drinking something from a glass. ]]
/ Dwayne: Nicole, why don't you and the contractors go see if Nick's dad needs any help...
/ Nicole: Um, okay... / [[Ki and Yoshi are behind the Trudy-clone. Ki is frowning. Yoshi's expression is neutral, perhaps worried. Ki addresses Yoshi. ]]
/ Ki: We need to have a _very_ long talk once the dust settles. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060117.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Fooker: Maddie! Justin! So glad you could make it! It's just not a party without you guys.
/ Maddie: Ha ha. / Justin: We brought the mobile forensics lab with the satellite link. Technically, this is a breach of a dozen protocols...
/ Maddie: but Amadeus wished us lots of luck. / Fooker: Well, we've got a big mystery with little to no circumstantial evidence, so we can use all the help we can get.
/ Justin: Um, one more thing, bro... / Justin: We had one extra passenger who insisted on coming to see you...
/ Fooker: Amadeus?
/ Justin: Um, no. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060118.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Fooker approaches the van.]]
/ Fooker: Hey, 18! How's the ol' trick knee? Still got that bullet floating around in there?
/ Agent 18: Hmph. / [[Fooker raises one eyebrow.]]
/ Fooker: So who's your guest? Dr. Not, here to profess her undying love?
/ [[Agent 18 scowls.]]
/ Agent 18: Don't I wish. / [[Agent 18 walks away from the van, carrying a suitcase or attache case in each hand. Fooker looks after him with a question mark over his head.]] / [[Fooker looks inside the van. He is shaken.]]
/ Voice from inside the van: Hello, Fooker. You look like you've just seen a ghost.
/ Fooker: In a manner of speaking, I have. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060119.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Mr. Oshiro: So this assignment you put off until the last minute did not even EXIST?!
/ Yoshi: Look, this wedding isn't going anywhere, so what does it matter if I was late? / Mr. Oshiro: I do not know which is worse, a son who procrastinates, or a son who lies to his parents to fraternise with an older woman!
/ Yoshi: It's not like that! She needed my help! / Mr. Oshiro: Indeed! I am sure this "Trudy" person has only served to further your "education." I was 15 once. I know what sort of "education" you probably sought!
/ [[Yoshi, with shocked look, notices Agent 18]] / Agent 18: Heh ...
/ [[Yoshi attempts to hide behind the collar of his coat]] http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060120.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Ki: We'll give her a few more minutes to rest, then we'll find out who she really is. / Alter-Trudy: Hmmm...
/ Sharon: What? Why do you look at me like that? / Alter-Trudy: You don't really know her, do you? "Your" Trudy ...
/ Sharon: No. I know ABOUT her, though.
/ Alter-Trudy: I see. / Alter-Trudy: Let's just say you should get to know her, if you can. You have a number of things in common.
/ Sharon: I doubt that. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060121.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Sharon closes the door to the bridal changing room as Ki undoes her hairstyle with a hair roller, looking sad]]
/ Sharon: Does this... "Pseudo-Trudy" bother you as much as she bothers me?
/ Ki: Sharon, right now I don't know up from purple. / Ki: What was I thinking, asking Trish to be a bridesmaid, after all that's happened with her? And "Pseudo-Trudy"... All we have on her is Fooker's word that she's not "our" Trudy. But I was ready to rip her limb from limb. Have I gone completely mental? / [[Sharon leans forward]]
/ Sharon: After all Trudy did in the past, I could understand your anger toward her "twin." As to Trish, you've been under a lot of stress this week, with very little sleep. You're not firing on all thrusters. / Sharon: You've got a rather obsessive father that you're trying to please, and you're worried about offending the Wellingtons. And now with Nick missing, you've lost your last real source of strength. / [[Sharon and Ki look sad]]
/ Sharon: Honestly, if I would have been in your position, I would have already gone into "Sharon smash!" mode and gone bridezilla all over the place.
/ Ki: Thanks. I think. / [[Ki leans her head on Sharon's shoulder as Sharon looks uncomfortable]]
/ Ki: Do you think time just had a Blue Screen of Death, and we could just reboot today?
/ Sharon: If we can, can we skip the part where "Trudy" looks at me like I'm made of chocolate? http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060122.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Ki: Okay, we set the parents, contractors, and others not "in the know" at tasks to keep them busy. That leaves Yoshi and his "guest" for us to interrogate. / Agent #18: I see *someone* needs a refresher course in using the memory wiper.
/ Agent #12: You forget that "someone" has officially retired. Besides, these people have kept our secrets well enough. / Sharon: Speaking of "someone," where is he?
/ Agent #12: Catching up with an old acquaintance. Who is this "guest" your brother brought? / Ki: You could say she's another "old acquaintance."
/ Agent #18: Déjà Vu.
/ Agent #12: That doesn't even come close... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060123.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Dexter, Dwayne, Sharon, Ki, and Justin, Agent #12, and Agent #18 are assembled. Fooker peeks in the door behind Dexter]]
/ Agent #12: Okay, now that everyone's assembled, let's review what we know. Nick Wellington has disappeared. While he supposedly left Ms. Oshiro this "Dear John" letter, it is the agreement of his friends that this is uncharacteristic of him. It must be fake. / Agent #12: A forensic sweep of his apartment by Team Beta turned up nothing, nor has our surveillance equipment picked up anything unusual.
/ Ki: Surveillance equipment? You had Nick bugged? / Agent #12: Nick has been labelled a "person of interest" ever since the New York incident in 2002.
/ Agent #18: When you invent the most powerful weapon known to man, people tend to take notice. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060124.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Agent #12, Fooker, and Ki are discussing what happened the night before the wedding]]
/ Agent #12: Although it has been passed around several times, the only fingerprints on the letter appear to be Nick's and those present here.
/ Fooker: Can you tell what happened last night in his apartment? / Agent #12: Jason apparently dropped him off around 3AM. He then had a brief conversation with Ki before he--
/ Ki: Wait a minute. Conversation? We didn't talk last night.
/ Ki: After we left the church, Sharon and the girls took me to her apartment for my bachelorette party. I didn't get home until after four.
/ Justin: Voice print analysis clearly marks it as your voice. / Ki: Although I'm curious to know what this mystery is about, let it be known that I don't care to have my private conversations secretly recorded.
/ Justin: Wait 'til you find out what you're getting for your birthday. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060125.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Fooker, Sharon, Ki and Maddie all discussing Nick's disappearance]] / Maddie: So you weren't there. Did you call Nick at or around this time?
/ Ki: No, I didn't talk to him after we left. If you recorded it, what did they say? / [[Maddie pulls out a microcassette recorder]]
/ Maddie: We haven't listened to it ourselves yet. I was just going by the report the listening agent made. But we can listen to it now... / Narrator: Several minutes later:
/ Recorder: ...to monitor it from this side, like Fred usually does. We should-- < http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060126.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Agent #18: Our records are incomplete on this "Mutex" device. We've had conflicting reports...
/ Maddie: And who exactly is this "Trish"? / Ki: Patricia Marshall. She's been a real enigma for us, so we were hoping you guys could explain her. She showed up a few years ago and has been shadowing Nick for some time, always asking about his inventions... / Ki: She acted very weird, claiming to have multiple personalities. If she didn't, she sure acted like two different people.
/ Trudy: [[offscreen]] That's because she was two different people. / Trudy: [[in the doorway]] And the same person at the same time, from a certain point of view. And she's the very reason I'm here. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060127.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Good Trudy: I apologize for my appearance. I practically went through hell to get here. I also apologize for involving Yoshi. He wasn't my first choice of contact, but he proved to be the most opportune. / Ki: Who exactly are you?
/ Good Trudy: I am Trudy Trueheart, but not the one you are familiar with. I lead a small band of patriots seeking to liberate my world from an oppresive tyrant. / Good Trudy: I am well acquainted with the "evil" Trish you encountered, as she was from my world too. And if one of your agents could bring in their "guest" as this involves her as well, I'll try to explain. / Good Trudy: You see, just as "evil" Trish was the "opposite" of the "timid" Trish you once met, I am the "opposite" of this woman, the Trudy you first met seven years ago. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060128.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Lord Nick: It's time to check in on our progress. Duchess? Can you hear me? What is your report? / Duchess Ki: No progress yet, milord. I've been trying to keep him busy, off-guard and disoriented. He hasn't had any sleep since he arrived, aside from the brief anesthetic to transfer him from the landing zone to here. / Duchess Ki: He is showing evidence of the strain, but he still resists, and I think he suspects something isn't right.
/ Lord Nick: Really? / Lord Nick: Curious. Perhaps he isn't as blindly trusting as we thought. Refresh yourself on the surveillance footage of your counterpart. Your performance must be believable. / Lord Nick: I will initiate our fail-safe plans, just in case. By whatever means necessary, I will obtain this man's secrets... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060129.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Nick: [[Yelling]] KI! Where are you? This isn't funny! / Nick: [[Thinking]] Well, it could have been. Once she finally shared her "Counsel of Ethendale" novel with me, I kind of hoped I could make her a virtual reality version to play with. / Nick: [[Thinking]] Of course, this wasn't part of the novel yet. She told me she was thinking of adding the scene, but she hadn't finalized it yet. I would think she was trying to get a feel for how it flowed... / Nick: [[Thinking]] ... if that were the real Ki. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060130.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Nick: "I read your documentation!" And she said it just hours after she heard me tell Trish I didn't take notes. The real Ki would've known that anyway. / Nick: There are several things "off" about her, but that was the clincher. Then all the smaller things could no longer be ignored. Who is she? What does she want? / Nick: Physically, I can't tell a difference. Her face, hair, smell... even that tiny little mole on her neck she usually keeps hidden. Whoever she is, she went to a lot of effort to fool me. / Nick: The old Nick might have innocently let that slide, but Trudy then Trish taught me to be more suspicious. And suspicious is a mild word for where I am now. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060131.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Nick is in a forest, sitting against a tree. He holds a sword in his right hand.]]
/ Nick, thinking: Time to take inventory of the facts. I know "Ki" convinced me into the MUTEX as a pre-wedding stress reliever. Ignoring for now the blatant sexual overtones... / [[The forest is no longer visible. Only part of Nick's head is seen, and behind it is an empty room, with no visible doors or windows.]]
/ Nick, thinking: I have a vague memory of an all white room, then a blank, followed by finding myself here. I can't prove it, but I suspect I made an unscheduled intermediate stop. Unscheduled by _me_, that is. / [[Back to the forest.]]
/ Nick, thinking: The sensory experience is different here, kind of like my first MUTEX experiment. That was true VR, with that odd sense the reality wasn't quite right, even if it looked it. I never got that after I hooked it up to Velociraptor... / [[Nick holds the sword in both hands and looks at the blade.]]
/ ... After it became an interdimensional transport. So I'm _not_ connected to the MUTEX anymore. I'm in a true virtual reality, but whose, and where? http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060201.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Nick is in a forest, sitting against a tree.]]
/ Nick, thinking: Deducing my true location would certainly be easier if I had the MUTEX's remote, but it's missing... Along with my watch and PDA. My "host" must want to keep me unplugged. / [[Nick frowns and puts his hand to his chin, concentrating.]]
/ Nick, thinking: And she chose a low-tech fantasy setting to minimize my chances of hacking the VR. Clever. So I have to play her game for now. At least now I'm actively playing and not just being played. / Nick, thinking: I can't let her know that I know. If she knows that I know, she might change tactics. But how do I know she doesn't know that I know? I know she knows that I know I'm "in" the MUTEX, but does she know that I know she knows that I know? / [[Nick puts his hand to his forehead. His face looks partly tired, partly sad.]]
/ Nick, thinking: Oh _NO_... Now I'm doing bad comedy routines by myself in my head. Maybe I am getting a bit too exhausted... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060202.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Nick, wearing padded medieval armor, is sat against the base of a tree in a dense forest]]
/ Nick: I'm beat. I haven't slept in over 36 hours, and fitfully before that. I have no way of knowing for certain what time it is. / Nick: That means I'm not at my peak mental faculties. I'll have to watch myself. I have to remind myself she isn't Ki, so I can't let her use my emotions against me. / [[Nick looks back over is shoulder to see who is talking to him]]
/ Ki: Well met, good sir knight. I pray your journey was pleasant and uneventfully? / [[Ki emerges from between the trees in a flowing dress and pointed elf ears]]
/ Nick: Of course, she isn't going to make it easy, is she? http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060203.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Nick (to himself): Alright "Ki". Time to play your little game
/ Nick: Kithinera! The elven council of elders told me you were to be banished! / Ki: Banished from Ethendale, yes. But I do not care. I want to travel to Sternhelm with you.
/ Nick (to himself): One last test...
/ Nick: Don't you mean SternHOLD? / Ki: Of... course. My mistake. SternHOLD. Your people shall be my people. Your gods shall be my gods. As long as I am with you, that is all that matters. / Nick (to himself): And so she fails. Ki would never miss a detail like that. So "Ki"... game on. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060204.html |

| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[The wedding party and UGA agents are assembled in a room. Trudy from the alternate universe addresses the group.]]
/ Alternate Trudy: What I am about to tell you will most likely be difficult to comprehend, but if what I've heard about this group is true, the bizarre is often routine here. / Alternate Trudy: "Timid" Trish, like the Trudy Trueheart sitting among you, is a true inhabitant of this universe. "Evil" Trish and myself, however, are not. We come from an alternate universe, similar yet vastly different from your own. / [[Agent #18 scowls. Ki and Trudy turn around to look at him as he speaks.]]
/ Agent #18: Alternate universes? Dont tell me we're supposed to fall for this science fiction crap...
/ Ki: Keep an open mind, Agent #18... / [[Trudy looks sad, or perhaps rueful.]]
/ Ki: If you had experienced some of the things we have, then her "bizarre is often routine" comment would make a lot of sense.
/ Trudy: Try talking to your future self sometime. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060206.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Ki addresses Trudy from the alternate universe, who looks stern throughout the strip.]]
/ Ki: We've learned through the MUTEX that alternate dimensions apparently exist. If Nick's superheroes have their own universe, why can't there be other versions of _us_ somewhere? / Alternate Trudy: Precisely. From the very limited information I've gleaned from my travels, there could well be an infinite number of universes in existence. Each one could be a minute variation upon another. / Alternate Trudy: Given enough permutations, vast differences can occur. Enemies become allies, heroes become villains. An innocent joke about taking over the world becomes a sinister threat, then a terrible reality. / [[Ki becomes wide-eyed with surprise.]]
/ Alternate Trudy: I'm afraid, Ms. Oshiro, that your adversary in this mystery will be both strangely alien and as familiar as looking in a mirror... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060207.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Ki appears astonished. She addresses Trudy from the alternate universe.]]
/ Ki: Are you saying... your universe's version of _me_ kidnapped Nick?
/ Alternate Trudy: Yes, although she was not the mastermind of the scheme. / Fooker: Then who, pray tell, is?
/ Alternate Trudy: Emperor Nicholas the Puissant, the counterpart of your Nicholas Wellington. / Alternate Trudy: In fact, many of you in your "alternate" forms are a part of his oppressive regime, a world-wide totalitarian government that rules through terror and fear. / Dexter: Nick as a fascist dictator? _That's_ definitely hard to swallow...
/ Fooker: If he doesn't have a goatee, I'll be sorely disappointed.

/ Narrator: The aliens were at war with their mortal enemies, another race from a nearby solar system. Nick quickly formed an alliance with the "Greys." If they would help him conquer the Earth, he would help defeat their enemies. / [[Nega Ki overseess some captive Greys]]
/ Narrator: The Greys, however, did not count on Nick's duplicity. Before they knew it, they were virtual slaves, their own technology used against them. Nick now had full control over Earth, but a new threat came from the stars. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20060213.html |
