Sometimes, I juste love the littlest of details... Higgs has been reasigned from the Rosen Maiden to Castle Wulfenbach, as evidenced by his cap. Thus questions:
- Is he still a bosun?
- Is this new cap Jaegeresquer?
- How many particles will be crashed into each other to uncover his identity?

I thought Higgs was aboard the Frozen Maiden?  Nope, it looks to be Rozen Maiden. That makes no sense. oh well, it IS GG.

After seeing Monday's installment, I think the "they were once men..." comment was a lead-in/set up for the biy about it being the worst thing they experienced, and how Vole would feel about that now.

Now that you say it, this may be possible as a F could be hidden by perspective. But what is important is the change of affectation: he's now directly attached to Gil.

And a lead-in to what Vole is feeling today, when brought back to a non-frozen timeline.
Could it also be a clue on Higgs, as if he (alone?) remembers what being human is, not being blinded by Jaegerdraught-induced pain. Hypotheses, hypotheses... we're doing SCIENCE!

..so could it be that Higgs is the only person to take the perfected Jeager Drought? He has all the benefits but none of the side effects?

I found a picture that clearly shows that there is no "F".  And I guess Phil is a fan of an anime called "Rozen Maiden".

You know what they say, don't you? About how us MechWarriors are the modern knights errant, how warfare has become civilized now that we have to abide by conventions and rules of war. Don't believe it.

Not that Vole has generally been in what most would consider to be a pleasant mood - but he looks decidedly miffed about now.

So the Jägermonsters get bigger and less human like as they age? Would that mean that the generals are the earliest (surviving) of their kin?

That which makes Dupree think an enraged Jaegermonster is a gift to her...makes me a tad worried.

Dupree looks very, very excited in that last panel. Almost too excited. I don't expect Vole to survive!

she's awash with emotions i usually need to dream of atomic weapons to have!

Gil meanwhile is trying to get his headgears spinning fast enough to figure out what this means to his previously devised plans. he seems to be somewhat of an expert of misunderstanding Dupree.

So, think of her as a Klingon female (at least in this case) - got it.

He might not die, yet, but he will want his centuries back.

That is an awful amount of time to be stolen just to sate Gil's curiosity.  Mad scientist or no, I always felt Gil had more morals than that.  I really hope he has a plan to restore Vole to his youthful state.

At least not all the time.  Also, a good while back there was a question of whether a slaver wasp could maintain control of a spark while they were in the "madness place".

My convoluted theory: The Other encouraged Klaus to use a beacon engine to download himself into Gil. Bringing the other's influence over Klaus with him. The four armed advisor (who's name I forget), having already suspected Klaus's infection, countered this move by somehow inducing the madness place in Gil and keeping him there, while surrounding him with trusty guardians who were beyond infection (Dupree, already treated to prevent it, Higgs, because he's fricken Higgs, and the Clank). This allowed Gil to remain free long enough to duplicate and distribute the slaver wasp antidote, and possibly even free the father in his head in the process. Leading to the current state of war between the Wulfenbachs and the Other.

So Gil must be kept crazy for the greater good of the Empire.
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.

I agree with most of your hypothesis, but I do think Klaus is still in there. Yes, the son is likely to copy the behavioural patterns of his father, but I'm getting a very strong Baronial vibe off Gil, with his feelings for Agatha being the purest Gil influence.

Poorly worded on my part. I assume that Head Klaus is still present, but is free of the Other's control.
