Ok Livarian cog wizardry is great and all but that's literally a cybernetic armadillo and I'm so ready for what's coming

Is that a cyborg platypus?

Steam powered armadillo!.

... is that a mechanical pet armadillo ?

So cute! Why in the world does it have its own smoke stack?

Fake robot animals with combustion? engine...
Oh my gawd...
Was Pablo UNDERSELLING how horrible Alvaral is?

Are we/is Burk looking at "Alvatech looking like an animal" or an animal with added Alvatech? And why is he smiling?

Burk, I know what you're think-

Actually I don't, but don't touch that steampunk armadillo!

I did not expect the steampunk armadillo.

Last panel. A rat with chimmeys ?

Even the animals polute...

Steam powered rat? or a methane producing rat?

I wonder why Alvarians hate Livtech as much as the reverse - but that's very much the vibe I'm getting. Either that or they've very much learned to keep their distance the hard way - Livtech seems the least "learn by doing" tech.

Also, I just realized that Pablo could be a fake diplomat, if he had similar abilities to Tobi but without the eyes. He isn't, but. That could be how he constantly operates his stuff safely.

Even the armadillos are coal powered.. who wants to bet they'll have coal powered smart phones?

I'm glad Pablo also realizes that Guy would be much more appealing if he weren't a Guy. now put on the cat ears, Guy.

Burk got his attention caught by a nice Alvarat. Will he start speaking to it?

Alvatech powered rat/armadillo?

Ah yes, a dieseldillo. Burk seems to have a potential new companion.

I love you, Alvatech Armadillo.

I was not expecting a coal powered armadillo. I hear their footpads transmit black lung.
