Triangle and Robert #2371	...with notorious "protagonists" Robert and Triangle, who claim to possess the world's largest zucchini. / "Claim"? Look at the thing! / Given their tendency to perform various hoaxes on behalf of "wacky scheme" clients, the claim is of course questionable; however, I can say that it certainly looks... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2371
Triangle and Robert #2372	Technical... uh... I'm getting out of here. / [[video 'snow']] / STAND BY http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2372
Triangle and Robert #2373	Wh...what did you just do to our zucchini? / Euthanized it. / There was no reason for what you did to that zucchini. The Book of Salads Past has already been reincarnated. / I am glad you're back and have no idea what you're talking about. Would you mind narrating a short flashback? / You weren't after... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2373
Triangle and Robert #2374	If you weren't trying to recreate the Book of Salads Past, why were you growing a reincarnation zucchini? / Uh... Robert, do you want to field that one? / No! / Well, first of all, I have no clear notion of what you mean by a reincarnation zucchini. / We were growing a very large zucchini because we'd... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2374
Triangle and Robert #2375	I was part of the team growing the reincarnation zucchini for the Book of Salads Past. / I think I know what some words in that sentence mean. / The Book of Salads Past is a moderately ancient tome of recipes which hints at the Godfood of Vegetable. / Remind me what a Godfood is. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2375

Triangle and Robert #2376	Godfoods! Foods so powerful that their very recipes dimly possess universal consciousness! / Right! / Those. Like the Fondue and, apparently, the Starham. / Yes. The Book of Salads Past was destroyed in the recent past, but could be brought back into being within a reincarnation zucchini. / That being...... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2376
Triangle and Robert #2377	I recovered the Book of Salads Past just before being captured by the... I never did get their name. / We're not sure about that either. So you escaped, and the other prisoners had heard you talking about the book and completely misinterpreted it, resulting in... Right. This entire situation now makes... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2377
Triangle and Robert #2378	...something important, yes. If we don't destroy Beta Tapiocus, it will destroy us. / Survival of the polygon species and the possible alteration of cosmology itself... / I'll accept that that's worth having the Sentries team up, for the necessary duration. / I think I'm beginning to see why you didn't... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2378
Triangle and Robert #2379	Nothing questworthy happened? / No. Should it have? / Have you read about the Meat and Grain Sentries' quests? / Are they in the comic? No, I haven't. / I'd suggest doing so. / Will it take long? / No. It doesn't seem to consume any time at all. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2379
Triangle and Robert #2380	I'm back. / You didn't leave. / Spooky. / I think my Fondue quest, to the degree I had one, actually happened before everyone split up to handle their own quests. / And the climax was your realization that following the group was limiting your potential? / Precisely. For the sake of record-keeping I suppose... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2380

Triangle and Robert #2381	After using the remainder of the Fondue to heal the sick, we set out towards the Farm the Dairy Sentry was now remembering as the site where he had learned its recipe. / The Dairy Sentry was remembering a lot of things, but they probably belong in his flashaback {{flashback}} and not mine. / So he will... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2381
Triangle and Robert #2382	If this is my flashback, where's the thing that wasn't broccoflower? / I'm trying to find a reasonable representative piece of clip art. I haven't had any luck yet. / "Trying to", progressive tense? I thought time didn't work like that between the strip and you. / Eh. It varies. / I should probably stop... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2382
Triangle and Robert #2383	I cut and pasted it from a larger appropriate-looking image of a fractal. I think it's approximately what you were fighting? / That sticky-up bit on the right doesn't match, but it's pretty close to what I remember otherwise. / The actual fractal you were fighting kept shifting around anyway. This is... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2383
Triangle and Robert #2384	As we approached the Dairy Sentry's farm, we were engaged in battle by a spawn of the ancient evil which had... / The reasons are more the Dairy Sentry's story than mine. I'll just talk about the battle itself. / I'll just reiterate that it was no broccoflower. The danger it posed was real and substantial. / Any... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2384
Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	Any reasons not to kill this thing? / None. / Then let's. / My fight. Rest of you, stay back. / Stay what? http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2385

Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	I said stay back! My fight! / It's all our fight! / She was energized with potential gravy. He was going into some sort of biscuit-making maneuver. / That... uh... / Hurt. / We need to coordinate. / They need to calm down and let someone with tactics do it. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2386
Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	Can we stop arguing for one minute and just kill this fractal? / I have it under control! My fight! / It's growing! I think it's somehow feeding on us arguing! / Everyone shut up and attack! / No... I think we need to keep shouting and overfeed it. / I'm not so sure about that plan. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2387
Triangle and Robert #2388	I'm not sure I believe this story. I know the Sentries aren't a well-coordinated team, but arguing with each other in front of a thing trying to kill them? That sounds exaggerated. / So does killing every lightning god on the planet or jumping out of a plane from awkward embarrassment. / So this is another... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2388
Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	Keep arguing! If we argue enough, it'll explode! / Shut up! This is no time to be arguing! / You argued first, Linda. Just let me attack it alone! / You stink at attacking! / What part of this is my fight do you not understand? / The part where I don't get to kill anything. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2389
Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry Although He Isn't in Any of Panels of This One	You don't have to kill everything. This is a dairy job. / Fine! Go ahead and lose! / I will! I mean... No! Yes! / It got bigger. / I told you that! http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2390

Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	I told you you'd lose. / ... / We've taken one fourth a rout and you're wasting time to insult our fallen member? If we're going to be a team we should act like one! / No, we need to - / This isn't some kind of puzzle we need to study to find the clever hidden solution! We need to hit this fractal, as... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2391
Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	What? / "Coordinatedly." That isn't a word. / That moment was probably the turning point. There was no greater wisdom of the group to which I could defer. There really never was any. It had been wishful thinking. / Whatever I was going to do next, I would be the one to do it. I invoke... a border... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2392
Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	I am in no condition to fight this thing, but at least I'm paying attention. / He sealed himself in with the monster. / No, he sealed us out. The border would only stop us, not him or it. / What's he trying to accomplish? / I didn't hear the Grain Sentry's reply to that. http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2393
Triangle and Robert #2394	And then the fractal mauled you to death. / I'm standing right here. / That doesn't automatically mean you didn't die. / I didn't, though. I did get mauled a little, while I was getting my bearings, but then I hit back. / Any particular technique? / I mostly just stabbed it. It divided into smaller fractals... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2394
Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	He's winning. He's turning the fractal into cole slaw. / That's impossible. / Fractals aren't cabbages. He's just covering it with cole slaw to suffocate it. / What makes you think it breathes? / To crush it, then. Or bury it. He's using cole slaw as a weapon, not transforming the enemy into it. / Says... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2395

Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	"Says you"? That's real mature. / What do you know about slaw? / Can't you stop arguing for long enough to... No. You can't. We all saw different things in the Fondue, right? Maybe we're not supposed to be together. / Let's tend to the wounded then go our separate ways. There's no way it could be any... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2396
Untitled Flashback of the Vegetable Sentry	You had a battle without me? I told you to call me back if anything attacked and you just let me scout? / The wound is minor, as is the condition of the Dairy Sentry. / Then I lost consciousness. I came to in a motel room; everyone had agreed to split up and done so while I was still unconscious. They... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2397
Triangle and Robert #2398	Thank you. That flashback will certainly give us all something to think about. We can hope that the humility learned by the Meat and Grain Sentries will prevent something like that from recurring against Beta Tapiocus. / The Dairy Sentry couldn't beat one fractal, and that was just an offspring of the... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2398
Triangle and Robert #2399	Do you think it'll work? / What? / Us against Beta Tapiocus. / Depends on the "us". / If that's the case then we've already mostly won. The whole point is for polygons to be the ones making their fate. / I'm not sure it's wise to be hammering that theme so bluntly. We need narrative uncertainty left for... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2399
Triangle and Robert #2400	I just realized horrible writing. / What? / We knew Mr. Disease before any of the other Sentries, and yet when we've / talked about the missing Sentries we haven't mentioned him. We should be more aware of his absence than any of the others. / Unless he's not really absent. / He's probably been with us... http://tr.froup.com/tr.pl?2400
