It's twue what they say about Wulfenbachs! It's twue! It's twue! And now I want to buy a Wulfenbach Mark I or II from a purveyor of anti-hysteria devices.... Agatha is going to be very pleased when she sees that death ray, I think. Such good advertising.....so powerful....Do Want!

Probably not a marshmallow gun.
OK, I see it lying on the floor in Panel 5 (anybody translated that doorway's inscription yet?). For a moment there I was afraid that Gil had accessed Hammerspace.*
*Toon reference, if you didn't know. It's where Foghorn Leghorn and Tweety keep their hammers.

I like that. It's more popular culture that 'Deus ex Machina' (God from the Machine) of Literature and Drama. Although, it sort of is. Kinda' fortunate it was just lying there, ya' think? I suspect that door leads to the outside. Anyone speculate on the appropriatenes of the inscription?

Mind you, this will be Gil's first big performance as The Baron, rather than simply as the Lightning Thief (sorry, couldn't resist). He might want to present a Kinder Gentler Baron - it's good Machiavellian strategy as well as being merciful. So, despite appearances, maybe it's just a Somno-Ray or an Obedience Cannon. Remember, he really isn't a death ray kinda guy.
Or... wasn't.

I don't think it's from Hammerspace... I think he took advantage of being stuck there to pry apart panels/anything he could and cobble together something very....very....very impressive *drools* I wonder if there's anything in my boyfriend's Nerf arsenal I could mod into that....
