Huge heavy machines and smaller robots digging large holes at the edge of a cliff?
What could possibly go wrong! Maybe the game will be called on account of a naked chick again.

If the cliff doesn't collapse from the mech/digbots as Spirantz points out, and if hC somehow doesn't show up at all, I think after today's strip, Oasis might actually refuse to help Torg against Hereti-Corp.

Oasis wins this fight. Sorry, Riff.

I picture Torg putting himself between them and much yelled explanation.

OK, this piece of WILD spec may better belong in the W.O.A.P.O.A.H. thread - but until Gregnier gets the next 'episode' set up......
So after the Oasis v. Nash fight, someone mentioned noticing a blob (likely just a tree or other foliage - remember, I'm never right with my spec) and I specced then that the blob was Steve Hereti - that he did not die in that explosion so long ago, and this has been a sort of elaborate set up on Steve's part to force Oasis to 'grow up' and become a 'controlled mind made human'. Without that change, the 'new' hC could simply change Oasis' programming from being controlled by Steve to being controlled by them (as in 4U City). Steve forced control over to Torg by commanding Oasis to love him and then removing himself as 'father' figure. Now, as Kesandru pointed out in the March 9 reaction thread, Oasis made a significant 'advance' just now.
My prediction: This exchange with Torg and Riff will complete Oasis' growth in the sense that by the end of it she will no longer be under Torg's 'spell'. Hopefully that will not involve any sacrifices... <Riff> <*cough*> Steven Hereti (still alive) has been keeping tabs of his creation (probably through some GPS tracking device and stealthily observing her evolution. When the ultimate break is made, Steven Hereti will reveal himself - and since he's an enemy of the new hC will join forces with Torg et al. Oasis will be pissed as all hell at first, but will ultimately agree that hC needs to be destroyed (or Override B-1 is not something that she can grow out of?) for Katie's sake.
Perhaps Steve Hereti is not needed for this part, but having him as an ally would make it more likely that they will succeed... ...and could make the ultimate story more interesting...

I wonder if Bun-Bun will show up next. Surely, he's seen the video too, and he's smart enough to know who he needs to follow.

I picture more discussion, then more people showing up.

He's got a casino. Even he doesn't really want to leave it. An interesting strip I found. Oasis knows Riff is linked with hC. My spec is, Riff gets owned. The fight is stalled and Oasis loses her mind and runs off again. Torg doesn't actually get a chance to talk to Oasis. On a side note that poor priest, it feels like it was donkeys years ago.

Luckily, Riff came up with a brilliant plan to avoid Oasis's wrath from then on: http://www.sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/020709

Torg said to Riff "... like you TRIED to kill Sam?" Emphasis on tried. Does Torg actually know Sam survived? Shouldn't this read "... like you KILLED Sam?" Unless Riff or Isabella filled Torg in on Sam still being alive, which would indicate some sort of collusion here. Though I guess it's possible Riff told him Sam was still alive before they split ways.

Someone is going to end up being the voice of reason between Torg and Riff. Likely candidates: Zoe, Bun-bun, Kiki (yes, Kiki).

Maybe Riff will run into Zoe...Zoe must have been let in on some of the discussion about Riff and "monsters" that Izzy had with Torg. Maybe she, knowing both sides, can talk some sense into him, or at least clarify that their two goals are the same!

Short term spec
Torg will save Oasis from the crumbling cliff. Oasis eyes will turn into hearts.

I think Torg will save her too by jumping and grabbing her arm. And we have to have some discussion-sharing between them after all this time, they can't just be like pool balls, hitting each other and then bouncing off again , so maybe as he is holding her, he convinces her to listen.
