Hold on with filling the new char slot.
Lets get to the top-left guy now

[Robocorn]

Character slots are limited so I don't lose my mind trying to connect fifty bajillion hanging plotlines.
No quantity of zemblax would likely be able to convince me to provide another one.

I suppose it might be feasible to use zemblax to pay through an extraneous plotline panel by panel.
I wouldn't see 300 getting you more than 3 panels tops though.

I've juts opened up some metagame can-of-worms haven't I?

TQ-04 has been struck down

. . .

This wasn't part of the original plan but it came so far out of left field that it almost works.
I can't really think of a more appropriate way for my Lovecraft parody character's story to end.
Still, it feels kind of weird to see him gone because he's the only character that underwent any development.

Better fill that slot wisely when it comes time to do so.

Wow.  I have a sensation both of sadness and completeness.  That was a successful story, with beginning, middle, and end.

If you have any sort of larger plan for the plot, as you've indicated, you should be angling to get points of development for the other characters.  Also, since TQ-04 is on the same planet (you know, the fifth planet from the Gabronian homestar) as TQ-03, the yogurt plot is far from finished.  (Pirate droids vs. horrors from beyond time?)  And for anyone counting, we now have both ZC-04 (the mutant) and TQ-05 (this one) still in the thick of things.

This death, and the inevitable plot recombination, should shake up the question of how "cyclical" the roster has seemed recently.  Another shake-up could be in that instead of TQ-04's chums, we consider adding TS-419--the "little green man" who's been the right hand of TQ-03.  A change of the mutant colony plot by giving a different perspective.  Or we could wait until TQ-03 dies to do so, of course.

. . .

I'll miss you, TQ-04.

Meanwhile, be scarféd Rauthaz.

So would suggesting the spot where TQ-04 was be replace with a "goblin" be a waste or a great idea?
I keen on having that spot be replace for long time in the batter box, Leeyanne or newcomer AI that murderous litheu.

wait he AI had access to the chair and didn't try to pop TQ-04 off the chair shoot given how liquidy that room was -42 absorb most of the station and killing 04 only stop his progress by an inch given he still has his old cloning chamber there no one who can stop him... outside of a Robotic Corn with one eye with a sidekick who has long flowing hair, Armok, Tearmok, Mogul, Magma,and/or Goblin squad. Shoot he can clone TQ-04 back mind and all and trap him in virtual session of torture then clone another one in means of working on a way to enter Shabalash.
so killing our selves Doomed the universe a little... unless Tearmok gets that mech suit.

My top picks for filling the empty slot:

• Litheu
• ZC-04
• TS-419
• Giga-Nana

I suppose it might be feasible to use zemblax to pay through an extraneous plotline panel by panel.

Hmm... how about TQ-04's ghost surveying the ruined mindwiping facility/droid depot/whatever whilst awaiting his ride to the afterlife?

[peglegpengeuin]

It looks like I'm the only one who wants us to become TQ-04.1, TQ-04's twin-in-every-regard brother.

[Evergod41]

Wait, the society is based entirely on cloning... or at least breeding in tubes. So why wont the slot be filled by TQ-04's clone? Sure he wont have memories of recent events, but he'd be the same sectoid.

[BunnyBob77]

Be XF 3.14, the chief gabronian scientist.

[Rexfelum]

Same reason why we can't

become TQ-04.1, TQ-04's twin-in-every-regard brother

namely, neither "TQ-04.1" nor "TQ-04's clone" exist, because that's not how anything in the breeding process has worked so far.  We've got this idea that us Sectoids are named in whole integers and grown in spawning chambers.  You choose/get assigned a career (or, in some cases, not), and off you go.  The clones are already as uniform, and as unique, as they're going to be, and are not "related" to each other.

Then there's Alpha Rauthaz, who seems to not be a clone somehow.  Not sure what's up with that.

Anyway, I like Andux's listing:

• Litheu
• ZC-04
• TS-419
• Giga-Nana

. . . Though I'd still add poor, confused TQ-05.  I propose that a new poll go up once we're done with this "favorite character" thing.

Speaking of which, TQ-03 is clearly down at the bottom.  Does anybody like the idea of replacing TQ-03 with TS-419?  I know this isn't part of the debate right now, but the poll is just sitting there and I presume Robocorn is gonna do something with it eventually.

--Rexfelum

P.S.: Funky colors because I can.

Edited P.P.S.: Dangit, I just re-read that first link I made.  TQ-02 knew TQ-04.  Do you think he'll ever find out what happened?  Actually, in that link, I see TQ-05 crying to see TQ-01 and TQ-02 leave.  We'd better get TQ-05 back in the story somehow, either directly or via ZC-04, so she can develop further; and somebody needs to learn the news of TQ-04 to share with the others.

Edited P.P.P.S.: TQ-04 was crying too!  The only one not crying was TQ-03!

[Rumrusher]

I still say becoming a clone of tq-04 or any one on the station where TQ-04 died is a bad idea, for the idea that -42 took over every thing searching for -04 and the a chance of limited actions for them that doesn't lead to be pulled into the goop be struck down.

[Rexfelum]

the station where TQ-04 died

Station?  Try homeworld.  You know, Mezizz?  The fifth planet of the Gabronian home system?  Not gonna label that one a lost cause without a fight.  Not to mention that TQ-01, TQ-02, and Alpha Rauthaz are already headed there on the Acier Rouge for some sort of important event in a few hours, so there's going to be a fight somehow.

I may be conflating "get to Mezizz" with "the important event," but the point stands.

[Urist Mcinternetuser]

  No one who is put in his slot will fill the hole in my heart. TQ-01 time please!

Edit: Is TS-419 the guy with the scar? I think he's cool, but if we changed him we'd have even fewer female characters.
Maybe use him for the new slot? Or someone else entirely.

[Cerol Lenslens]

No replacements!

Once a slot is empty, it stays empty! Maybe that'll teach us not to be so cavalier with Gabronian life!

Fare thee well, TQ-04. And may celestial dream beings sing thee to thy rest. (sniff)



Anyways, let's be TQ-01 again. We haven't seen him for a while.

[Siquo]

Leave the slot empty, for now. Awesome story with an awesome ending, that was.

TQ-01!!
