...I'm beginning to suspect that Tobi is a robot/cyborg to a greater degree than I originally thought, or that she is one of those weird technomancy related things.
What I'm trying to say is...
WHY DOES SHE HAVE X-RAY VISION THAT IS SPECIFIC TO MACHINES!??
Yes I know that that will likely be explained as this goes on, but until then, I'll be dying from the endless theorizing of my subconscious.

how would one describe tobi's skill? or thats just a subjetive way to show she can understand the mechanism?

Three is the coolest character without a doubt. I love Pablo and enjoy Burk a lot, but Three is beyond awesome.

Ya, no offence, its a great change, but the style doesnt really fit with Tobi's plot, the old style was good, but this one just doesnt feel right to me.
Its your choice though! Great page, as usual!

Woah, could Tobi do that before? It's been so long since Rauel that I'd forgotten.

@Tilo: no insider info, but I'm willing to bet (esp given other such* abilities in this comic), that it's just straight-up technomancy. Kinda like that kid in Heroes. That is - an innate ability to understand all machines/electronics just by looking at them. Although apparently, here, it's like she's also able to somehow read their memory chips/IO, on top of just seeing how they work.
* many of the abilities in this comic, like most shounen manga, or western superhero stuff, violate their own implied changes to physical laws. Which is kinda the point, because if you try doing any sort of "hard scifi/fantasy", it tends to be really hard to have flashy, fun powers with variety. It's a wholehearted embrace, here, of the "rule of cool".

My guess is that she has some sort of device grafted onto her which allows her to communicate with the device in the creature's body.
However the creature's s either damaged (possible if these are undead creatures and the transmitter was a part of it in life) or follows a different protocol, hence the data doesn't make any sense.

Nice update! 3's hand is pretty scary - thank God he's on Tobi's side.
And we see Tobi's "magic" ability once more, which is cool.
To all those who keep pointing out the style for these last pages, remember what Neorice said: it's done for now so he can give us faster updates and get things moving.
Here's hoping we'll stay focused on one storyline until the right time to jump to another one comes. I really wish we could've finished up Burk's cliffhanger moment.

Tobi didn't use it in Rauel, but she did analyze the elevator.
2631: The Gremlin - Saturday, April 16 2011 - 9:31 AM
If the style means extra comics, go for it!

There are things midget was not meant to know...

Sounds like a "Quantity over Quality", issue to me. More frequent updates is great and all but when Neo said he was going to get back to Noah and Tobi's stories, this style isn't what a expected.(for Tobi I mean)sorry chibi just isn't my thing.
But great work as usual, Neo I'm extremely glad you have the time to work on the comic again.
2634: The Gremlin - Sunday, April 17 2011 - 9:55 AM
In my opinion, it's just an art style. And you still get closeups. I don't see how a slightly altered art style is really lower quality.

I'm starting to suffer some heavy withdrawal! I had too much comic this last weeks and now can't go 1 day without it!
:D Three's hand is sick as all heck.
