If Kevin2 says that metastable dark matter turns into non-reactive cold dark matter when exposed to teraport fields (2019-07-20), why can't Cindy (or Petey in the other universe) just kill the Pa'anuri by teraporting quickly in a shell around them?
Ok, ok, sure teraport denial fields. But back before the central generator was taken out Petey had the power to punch through teraport denial fields.
Finally, in 2019-07-21 Sunday's strip, why does shooting dark matter with a GUN disrupt it? Baryonic and dark matter only interact gravitationally.
Howard, I'm so _confused_.

Maybe the gun has been retrofitted with Elf's brainstorm, or loaded with shells manufactured along the lines of Elf's brainstorm? After all, if you can do a long-gun, a shorter-ranged grav-cannon or TAD shell shouldn't be too difficult. |

Becuase that gun uses a braided gravity stream to punch through shields and deliver the plasma the gun also shoots. In this case Cindy is probably just firing up the gravy tube and pouring that all over the Pa'anuri. |

Luckily it was a very sneaky knife... unluckily, next time they'll be multiple elephants. What I want to know is how are the Pa'anuri teraporting when that should be deadly to them. |

.22LR. <- highlite to read. It was reportedly done twice, long ago, both times by professional ivory hunters. --FreeFlier |
