Still Lucid

Agreed, "Chicken Chug" is a catchy name. So's "Dart Dodging", something I see a lot of in someone's (hopefully everyone's) immediate future.

Now would probably be time for an extended commercial break.

Im glad they had the presents of mind to detox the smartest person in the room before their friend. Does look like Kat is next in line to "win the prize".

"Still lucid"? Well, that's a stretch for Art and Pip but they are functional, which, I suppose is the same thing. I think the aliens are about to hit the panic button and start trying to take direct action. As SPRoss says, the screens are all going to say "Technical Fault" whilst the fight plays out.

As my father was a fire sprinkler contractor, I feel obliged to point out that the water in fire sprinkler systems is absolutely nasty. The stuff is only flushed when they change the sprinklers, so it builds up all sort of strange black gunk. I'm sure a reality TV actor is stupid enough to drink it, though.

You're right - the water in those systems isn't really "fresh" after years of storing. Full of bacteria, soluted pipe materials, maybe coating from pipe's inside. But, thanks to the Stupidity drugs, the TV show actors are stupid enough and, thanks to the fire hose, they cannot see what they drink .

The producer alien in last panel ... you can almost SEE the panic he has on his face which can't show any emotion at all. Now I want to see what the aliens gonna to do against our heros.

CHRIST ON A BIKE. THOSE TWO ARE STILL LUCID!

Seriously Jackson? A reality show story arc? Not that making fun of reality shows is a bad thing, but come on hurry up now!!! This one is kind dragging on a bit, although please tell me art uses that dumbass muscle guy as a human shield if the darts come down. But seriously when are you gonna give us another story arc centered around Kat and Vanity vs some evil supernatural force. I want an Evil Dead-esque story where Kat becomes this badass demon slayer with a chainsaw and a shotgun delivering Bruce Campbell-ish one liners like Groovy and Swallow This...oh wait here's a good one...PACIFIC RIM!!!!! Art and Kat...Jaeger Pilots...Fighting Kaiju...SOMEBODY MAKE THAT HAPPEN!!!!!

Art and Kat I could see being Drift-compatible.
The squirrels get their own four-armed Jaeger to wreak massive havoc. (obviously)
And as for Pip... poor Pip.

Pip is the Kaiju

Actually I think Pip would do fine working for Hannibal Chau and his black market operations...just imagine how much Kaiju bone powder he would use...when sleeping with prostitutes of course (come on, we all know he'd be the kind of guy who chases down hookers...kind makes sense doesn't it?)

What does it do?  Gives STRONG MALE POTENCY, umph (humps the air). Wonderful stuff. I use it all the time.
