/ Fooker: Where do you work, a circus...? / [[The Gamester points at a naked Fooker, who is quivering and trying to cover his groin while Mischief covers herself with a blanket]]
/ The Gamester: Mischief... care to explain this?
/ Mischief: He... followed me home? / [[The Gamester appears stern while turning to Mischief]]
/ The Gamester: You know this form of conduct is not permitted..
/ Mischief: Of course it's not permitted! Nothing fun around here is permitted! / [[Mischief's face, with a determined expression is shown]]
/ Mischief: I've spent eons studying this and learning that. I haven't had a nanosecond of fun since they assigned me to you! When I'm not repairing holes in timelines or balancing interdimensional fluxes, you have me watching boring time paradoxes, waiting for them to crack! I don't have time to study, much less some time to enjoy myself! Can't I have just one day off? One this millennium? http://www.gpf-comics.com/mischief/d/20070615.html |

/ Dwayne: Ki, I just called two minutes ago. / [[Sharon and Yoshi stare at Dexter and Trudy. Yoshi seems to be reacting to something.]]
/ Ki [[off panel]]: Then call again!
/ Dwayne [[off panel]]: Fred said he'd call as soon as they came through.

| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[The Gamester hesitates as Mischief observes]]
/ Gamester: Well... / [[The Gamester appears reluctant, and Mischief rejoices]]
/ Gamester: Okay. You can go to the Richie Maze and play Zirtball for a century or two.
/ Mischief: WOOHOO! / [[The Gamester and Mischief are looking at a floating, naked Fooker]]
/ Gamester: Now that leaves just one piece of unfinished business...
/ Mischief: I'll handle this! / [[Mischief looks forward while the Gamester looks on]]
/ Mischief: Thank you, Fooker! I had a wonderful time, but I'm afraid our date must come to an end. I'll also have to erase your memory. Sorry! Bye-bye! / [[The slime molds look on]]

| GPF Archive: Monday, June 25, 2007 | [[The Emperor's throne room. Alternate Trudy, wearing the pin that Trudy formerly wore, looks in the direction of the MUTEX. Her face is stern; perhaps she is holding back tears. From behind her, Alternate Chuck looks impatient as he speaks to her.]]
/ {{ It is clear that he does not yet understand that she is the Trudy from his own dimension.}}
/ Alternate Chuck: Look, I know you miss your friends, but you've visited this dimension long enough to know it isn't safe. We have to get out of here. / [[Alternate Trudy begins to move, her brow still furrowed. Alternate Chuck raises an eyebrow in reaction to what she says.]]
/ Alternate Trudy: The secret imperial shuttle should still be docked one floor down. We can escape in that.
/ Alternate Chuck: How did _you_ know...? / [[Alternate Trudy goes toward a doorway out of the room. Alternate Chuck's eyes go wide.]]
/ {{In a quick breach of the "fourth wall" as he recognizes which Trudy has stayed in his dimension, Alternate Chuck looks at the audience, not at Alternate Trudy.}} / [[Alternate Chuck follows Alternate Trudy out of the room. Both are pumping their arms and appear to be running now.]]
/ Alternate Chuck: Good act, T.
/ Alternate Trudy: Give me an Oscar once we're in the clear. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070625.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, July 2, 2007 | [[Outside the palace. In the distance, the sky is filled with spaceships over the city skyline, and on the ground, an enemy walker appears to attack a couple of Greys. Overhead, a shuttlecraft flies toward the left, away from the palace on the right. In the foreground, Pi and Planck watch the shuttle. Pi's face looks angry, and he may be shaking his fist. Half of Planck's face is still blue, and the mop head is still stuck to his scalp.]]
/ Pi: The Imperial shuttle! The Emperor is escaping!
/ Planck: Should we be happy or mad about that? / [[The scene shifts slightly. Mischief appears above and behind Todd, smiling as she greets him. Todd looks back over his left shoulder at her. In this panel and the rest of the strip, the tops of a large number of Greys' heads are visible in the background.]]
/ Mischief: Hey, Todd!
/ Todd: Mischief! Did my parents get out okay? / [[Mischief is still smiling as she speaks to Todd. Planck's blue profile appears in closeup in the foreground.]]
/ Mischief: Sure enough! I watched them cross the barrier a little bit ago and sealed what was left of the breech. Everyone is back except for the three of us.
/ Planck: Who's he talking to? / [[Mischief continues to smile. Planck looks at Pi as he addresses him, but Pi, Todd, and Mischief are all looking at something off panel in the left foreground direction. Todd shades his eyes with one hand, and Pi's eyes are open extremely wide with astonishment.]]
/ Mischief: And you'll never believe what I saw as I popped into this dimension...
/ Planck: Pi, do you see...
/ Pi: By the great mother test tube... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070702.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | Pi: Mother ships! Our mother ships!
/ Pi: By Kados! How did they get here? / Pi: Hold on.... I'm getting a telepathic transmission.... It's Muon....
/ Muon (broadcast): 3141592, this is 18883531. Sorry we're late. Things back on the homeworld have been a bit... hectic. / Muon: Drones have been going haywire for the past hundred million ganadans and we only just learned we were free of the Skaboola. We figured we should investigate and mustered as many ships as we could. / Muon (broadcast): Any particular target we should hit first?
/ Pi: Anything that moves. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070709.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, July 15, 2007 | [[Outside the Emperor's palace. In the background, there is a multitude of Greys and an enemy walker or two. Pi, with his back to Planck, points into the air. Planck watches as Mischief grabs Todd under his arms from behind and levitates above the crowd with him. Todd looks back over his shoulder to look at Mischief as he replies to her.]]
/ Mischief: Did you see where the Boss went? I haven't found him yet...
/ Todd: He's here? I thought _I_ was here because _he_ couldn't be. / [[Back on the ground, Pi and Planck are in closeup. Planck looks dismayed. Pi has a huge evil grin on his face and seems to be pumping his fist in victory.]]
/ Planck: Should I be concerned that I just saw a flying human girl pick up that trench coat kid and fly off thataway?
/ Pi: Quiet, Planck! We've got some revenge to be had! / [[Mischief and Todd appear to be flying; their hair is windblown, and there are spaceships in the air behind them. Mischief holds Todd with an arm across his chest, a bit like the lifesaving stroke in swimming. Mischief looks ahead, while Todd looks and points back to the palace.]]
/ Mischief: I know he was tracking down our culprit, but since I didn't see any other spheres around, I thought he must be in here somewhere...
/ Todd: That palace is about to blow... / [[About half of Mischief's face is seen in extreme closeup. She looks with concern off to the side toward a building or possibly a spaceship. Some sort of machine, maybe a walker, is partway through a window.]]
/ Mischief: It's okay. I've stopped time for everyone but us. We should be out of here in no... Oh, no... It can't be... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070716.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, July 23, 2007 | [[Mischief holds Todd as they fly toward a window into the emperor's throne room. In the distance, the sky is filled with spaceships. Part of an enemy walker, possibly wrecked, is in the throne room. Mischief appears anxious.]]
/ Mischief: He's in the throne room. I can feel him, but just barely.
/ Todd: Why? Is he hurt? _Can_ he be hurt? / [[Mischief and Todd stand in the throne room, looking around in different directions. The room seems cluttered with debris. Mischief continues to look concerned.]]
/ Mischief: Not in a mortal sense. No mortal could have the power to injure an entity, but _another_ entity might. Fighting is banned by the counsel, though. / [[Mischief and Todd continue to look around. Mischief is horrified: her jaw drops, her head shakes as if recoiling, her hand comes toward her mouth; presumably, her expression changes as she finishes her speech in this panel.]]
/ Mischief: We are beings of pure energy and thought. This visage you see is for your (forgive me) primitive corporeal mind to comprehend. So we can't be hurt as you would under... _NO!_ / [[Mischief and Todd both look up at a small ball of light, no bigger than the palm of Mischief's hand, slightly above their heads. Todd looks at it with a puzzled expression. Mischief is sad and raises her right hand toward the light.]]
/ Todd: What... is _that_?
/ Mischief: It's... all that's left of him... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070723.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, July 30, 2007 | [[The throne room. Mischief holds a ball of light in her hands, which she said in the previous strip is all that is left of the Gamester. She looks down at the light with concern. Todd also looks at the light.]]
/ Todd: Is he... dead?
/ Mischief: No. We can't die, not in your sense of the word. But he can cease to exist. / [[Mischief continues to look at the light in her hands, still looking concerned. Todd looks at her.]]
/ Todd: That's a semantic debate for another time. Will he be all right?
/ Mischief: I... don't know. I-I've never had to d-deal with this b-before... / [[Mischief continues to look down at the light in her hands, with a sad expression on her face. Todd frowns as if he is thinking hard.]]
/ Mischief: I... don't know what to do, Todd. He's fading. I can give him a small measure of my essence... but that won't stabilize him.
/ Todd: Forgive the crude metaphor, but is there such a thing as an extra-dimensional hospital? / [[Todd and Mischief disappear in a flash, each leaving a silhouette of light.]]
/ < http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070730.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Todd and Mischief are standing in a large round room with gems all around]]
/ Todd: Where are we?
/ Mischief: The Celestial Nursery, where realities are born. If anyone asks, I never brought you here. / [[Mischief passes by a gem while Todd examines it]]
/ Mischief: Each gem is a proto-universe, a possible reality that never came into being. Some become real universes, but most just sit here winking in and out of existence. / [[Mischief, holding the Gamester's remains, sticks her arm into a gem]]
/ Todd: You're putting the Gamester's remains in one of these things?
/ Mischief: Yes. It will destroy the protoverse, but it just might save him. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070806.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, August 13, 2007 | [[The celestial nursery. Todd frowns at Mischief, who appears worried as she looks in the direction of the gem where she put the ball of light that is the remains of the Gamester.]]
/ Todd: Hold on now. You're going to destroy an entire universe -- and countless lives -- to save the Gamester?
/ Mischief: A _protoverse_. It might _not_ contain life. / [[Todd continues to frown at Mischief, raising the index finger of his right hand as if scolding her. Mischief turns to face him and appears angry, possibly shaking her left fist at him.]]
/ Todd: But that implies it _might_ contain life!
/ Mischief: Todd, please! Do you _want_ to just stand here and let him cease to exist? / [[Todd continues to frown, waving his arms. Mischief's face is turned away, toward him. She appears to be shrugging.]]
/ Todd: Of course not! But destroying entire galaxies to save one life...
/ Mischief: There's a high probability this protoverse hasn't even had a big bang yet, let alone develop sentient life. / [[Todd and Mischief both look at the gem that contains the remains of the Gamester. Todd's expression is neutral, Mischief looks sad again.]]
/ Mischief: Besides... It's the only "safe" source of extra-dimensional energy powerful enough to regenerate him... I hope. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070813.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, August 20, 2007 | [[The celestial nursery. Mischief looks with concern at the large gem where she has placed the ball of light that is all that is left of the Gamester. In the background, Todd, his expression neutral, looks at Mischief.]]
/ Mischief: He's stabilized. That's good. That means he's not getting weaker. But he's not getting stronger yet either. / [[Todd and Mischief look at each other, their faces in closeup. Mischief looks a bit puzzled.]]
/ Todd: How long will this take?
/ Mischief: You're thinking linearly again. But... I can't think of a better way to explain it so you could understand.
/ Todd: A simple "I don't know" would suffice. / [[Todd and Mischief sit on the floor between the large gem that contains the Gamester and another gem. Mischief slumps forward, her arms around her knees, and looks down with a sad or worried expression. Todd leans back against the wall behind them, with his left knee up and his left arm draped over it, looking up with a neutral expression.]]
/ Mischief: I... don't know.
/ Todd: So... we wait.
/ Mischief: We wait. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070820.html |
| General Protection Fault--The Comic Strip | [[Ki is on the phone, calling Nick with Yoshi, Dwayne and Sharon in the background and Trudy sleeping on a couch]]
/ Ki: GIVE ME THAT PHONE! Nick? Say something. Say anything. I just want to hear your voice... to know you're okay. / [[Nick is on the phone with Ki, with Fooker, Justin, Maddie Agent #18 and Fred]]
/ Nick: I'm here, and we're all fine. The Mutex and Velociraptor have been shut down and the link to the other universe has severed. It's finally over. / [[Scene shifts back to Ki]]
/ Ki: I wish we didn't end up on opposite sides of the country...
/ Nick: That was a safety precaution. Using Yoshi's Mutex clone meant one helmet per person. Reusing one could have been dangerous. / [[Scene shifts back to Nick]]
/ Nick: But I'm sure the UGA can arrange some emergency transportation to get you guys back on this coast soon enough.
/ Ki: That's right. I seem to recall something about a wedding... / [[Nick looks tired]]
/ Ki: We told everyone to stay in town, that it was just delayed. It shouldn't be a problem to pick up as soon as we get back.
/ Nick: Actually... let's push it back another day or two... / [[Scene shifts back to Ki, who has a slight grin on her face]]
/ Nick: Keep in mind, I haven't had any sleep in about three days...
/ Ki: And you're not getting in any on our honeymoon, so you better get it in now... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070827.html |

/ Yoshi: Wow... So Nick the nerd is the one that designed Trudy's power source... and hooked up to his VR, the two become an interdimensional transport. / [[Yoshi rubs his hands together in satisfaction, with an extremely evil grin on his face. Behind him, Sharon looks over her shoulder at him, her eyes wide with mild surprise.]]
/ Yoshi: Think of all the kewl things I could do with this! It's like Stargate-SG1, only awesome! I could go anywhere, do anything! In some other universe, I could be a god! / [[Sharon crosses her arms and narrows her eyes. Yoshi's eyes go very wide and his head jerks with unpleasant surprise.]]
/ Sharon: Don't get too cocky, kid. Now that you know my boyfriend's a spy, you _know_ he's probably going to wipe your memories of this thing and this whole incident... / [[Yoshi runs away screaming in despair, his arms flung in the air. Sharon, her arms still folded, looks after him with grim satisfaction.]]
/ Yoshi: NOOOOOOO
/ Sharon, thinking: Ah... Teen geek angst. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070903.html |
| GPF Archive - Monday, September 10, 2007 | [[The living room. Trudy remains unconscious on the couch, and Dexter is still sitting behind her. Ki and Yoshi look down at her from the left and right, respectively. Yoshi points toward Trudy.]]
/ Yoshi: So... _This_ Trudy... She's from a different universe?
/ Ki: With a totally different history, personality, and memories. / [[Dwayne stands behind Yoshi; Dexter looks up at Dwayne.]]
/ Dwayne: How will she integrate into our world? Our Trudy is a wanted criminal world-wide.
/ Dexter: The UGA can give her a new identity, like someone in a witness protection program. / [[Ki, Dexter, and Sharon look at Dwayne.]]
/ Dwayne: Well, I guess we owe her for helping us. She'll need a job. We've been without a marketing director since Trent left. Do you think you guys could work with her? / [[Ki looks down at Trudy, who still appears to be unconscious.]]
/ Ki: Well, _she_ didn't tear GPF apart and nearly take over the world. I agree, we're in her debt, me most of all. I say she's in. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20070910.html |

/ Sharon: So... um, hi... _sis_. I... know you can't hear me, but I, uh, wanted to apologize for how I reacted when you told me you... _she_ was my sister. / [[Sharon squints and holds the palm of her hand to her forehead. A bit of Trudy's face is visible.]]
/ Sharon: I mean, I know _you_ didn't do all the terrible things she did. I can't hold that against you. But it's going to be hard, with you _being_ her but _not_ being her... Gosh, this is awkward... / [[The scene shifts so that their faces are no longer visible. Trudy's arm is lying at her side, and Sharon holds her hand.]]

Fooker is wearing the uniform of the Emperor's guard and seems to be adjusting it or trying to scratch his arm through it or maybe trying to take it off. His face looks a bit beat up from the battle, and he has a black eye. Maddie and Agent 18 are wearing black U.G.A. jumpsuits. Both of them appear unharmed.]]
/ Maddie: Well done, team. We achieved our objective with zero casualties.
/ Fooker: And gained a couple interesting Halloween costumes... / [[In the foreground, Maddie looks intently at Fooker as she speaks to him. In the background, Nick is visible in outline, sitting and holding his left hand to his ear, presumably talking on the phone with Ki.]]
/ Maddie: It was... good working with you again, Jason. It hasn't been the same since you "retired." But seeing Murphy in action tells me you probably ended up on the right path. / [[Fooker and Maddie continue their conversation. The background is blank.]]
/ Fooker: Thank you, by the way, for not trying to kill her when you saw her again. After Paris...
/ Maddie: Murphy won you fair and square. I'm a big girl. I learned to move on. / [[Fooker's face has an evil grin. Maddie smiles gently and looks toward Justin in the background. He is looking off to one side, away from Fooker and Maddie, and is also still wearing his Emperor's guard uniform.]]

/ Fooker: She's okay, Fred. She's with Ki. / [[Fred gestures with a couple of pseudopods, as if they were hands. He may be shrugging.]]
/ Fred: Good. I lost track of her at the non-wedding, and I've had the cell off to cut out distractions. Dr. Phil, Glen Beck, and Katie Couric all want me on the same day, and that "Socrates" nut won't take a hint... / [[Fooker is still looking away from Fred. Both are seen in profile.]]

/ Patty: He... was really special, and the only man I ever loved. But as you probably already know, I'm not the most open with sharing my feelings. I did something very stupid. Naive, careless, cruel, and stupid. And I drove him away. / [[Patty is seen in closeup profile. Her one visible eye is closed tightly, as if holding back tears. Dexter looks at her sadly.]]

/ Patty: I don't begrudge Nick and Ki their happiness. I hope they have tons of it. But I don't _deserve_ any, and every wedding I attend is a bitter reminder of my own selfishness. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20071112.html |

But I've changed, and they forgave me. / Dexter: I doubt you'll probably ever see that guy again, but maybe if you open up, you'll find someone else.

/ Voice From Off-Panel: Okay, we're done with the parents. All we need now are the bride and groom... / [[Fooker turns around, slightly surprised, while Sharon smiles as Dex and Patty walk out, arms around each other's backs.]] / [[Fooker turns to Sharon while Sharon narrows her eyes in amusement]]
/ Fooker: Well now...
/ Sharon: Stranger things have happened at weddings...
/ Fooker: Don't jump to conclusions, now. / [[Fooker and Sharon walk away with Fooker's arms around Sharon]]
/ Sharon: Still, I think Dex deserves a break.
/ Fooker: And that's exactly what poor Patty will get if she doesn't insist on being on top. {{slight pause, apparently as Sharon steps on his foot or elbows him in the gut}} Ow. http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20071126.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, December 3, 2007 | [[The wedding reception. At the upper right, Ki, smiling, descends a staircase followed by Nick. Ki is in her wedding gown. Nick has removed his jacket and is wearing a ruffly white shirt, black trousers, and green vest and bow tie. At the foot of the staircase, to their left, Fooker addresses the crowd, looking back over his shoulder and gesturing with his left thumb toward Ki and Nick. He is dressed like Nick, with his jacket off. Behind Fooker to his right (stage left) is a table that holds something tall that could be the cake, a punch fountain, or a stack of wedding presents. Behind the banister of the staircase is some sort of shrubbery. In front of Ki, Nick, and Fooker is a crowd, mostly facing the happy couple. Most of the heads are gray and indistinct, but the recognizable ones include Otto Wisebottom (Nick's uncle), Charles Wellington (Nick's father), Wallace T. Bruin, Tim and Scott (formerly of the Brotherhood of the Twisted Pair). Slightly closer, in partial profile, are Sharon, Ki's mother, and Linda Wellington (Nick's mother). Yoshi, facing away from the staircase, appears to be eating something, bringing a spoon to his mouth. In the foreground are Patty, still looking jaded, and Agent #18, partially facing each other. Between them, Sydney, in her flower girl dress, smiles down at Persephone, who is still wearing her flower "girl" veil and sitting on a table next to Fred. As Fooker announces the entry of Ki and Nick, there is much applause.]]
/ Fooker: And here comes the couple of the hour!

| GPF Archive: Monday, December 10, 2007 | Mr. Oshiro: So... our children... now they are married.
/ Charles Wellington: It would definitely appear so. / Mr. Oshiro: Your son... he is an honorable young man. He has earned my respect, which is a difficult accomplishment.
/ Charles Wellington: And your daughter is a lovely young woman. I'm sure they'll be happy. / Charles Wellington: Nick has always spoken fondly of her, and the times we've spent with her have all been enjoyable. They make a cute couple.
/ Mr. Oshiro: [[bittersweet]] The gaijin and my little lotus flower... / Charles Wellington: You know, technically, if you immigrated here to the States, that actually makes *you* the gaijin...
/ Mr. Oshiro: [[angrily thinking]] And now I see where he gets it from... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20071210.html |
| GPF Archive: Monday, December 17, 2007 | [[Fooker, Justin and Agent #12 are congratulating Ki]]
/ Ki: Thank you guys for coming. We could never thank you enough.
/ Agent #12: We hope you two live happily ever after. / [[Ki moves on to other guests]]
/ Fooker: So all the loose ends are tied up?
/ Agent #12: As best as possible. Amadeus will take us off probation... eventually. / [[Fooker and Agent #12 shadowed in the background, looking at Yoshi in foreground]]
/ Fooker: Did Yoshi's memory wipe take? Dexter's didn't hold more than a year...
/ Agent #12: So far, but he *was* resistant. We'll keep tabs on him, given his aptitude for mischief. / [[Fooker and Agent #12 in foreground, looking at Trudy seated in background, her head bowed over her hands]]
/ Fooker: And what about Miss Sunshine over there?
/ Agent #12: Her new identity is in place. Now it's time for her to make something of it... http://www.gpf-comics.com/d/20071217.html |
