Chronology - Volume 2-1

Volume summary: The Beast of the Rails

The chronology pages describe the comics to assist scholars in finding the page on which something occurred. For each page of the comic, the chronology pages identify the characters that appear, actions taken, significant quotes, and other things of interest. Page numbers from the website are zero padded to three digits and in parentheses, for example: (005), (061), (113). Page numbers from print volumes are neither, for example: 5, 61, 113. Section titles are from the canon unless otherwise noted.

For historical reasons, volumes 1 (I) through 13 (XIII) are usually identified with Roman numerals on the Girl Genius chronology pages and elsewhere in the wiki. From volume 14 on, the story entered a new "act" and the volume numbers started over, in Arabic numbers, proceeded by a "2-". For example, overall volume 15 is given as volume 2-2 on chronology pages.

For a partial timeline of the events in the comic, see Internal Chronology. For more information on the double-page spreads in this volume, see double-page spreads in Girl Genius. For more information on special pages in this volume, see the list of special pages, notes, and annotations.

He finds out the Castle is hindered by the "time-freeze" field, but not not completely disabled. He tells it he is going to perform an extraction. The Castle demands to watch.

	As Gil and Higgs attempt to leave Mechanicsburg, they run into a quick-growing thorn hedge that blocks their way. The Castle asks, as they search for an alternate exit, that they take the scenic route past a good view of the Red Cathedral, so they can tell the Castle what they see there. When asked, "Why?", the Castle explains that the Heterodynes discovered a way to stop time 300 years ago but abandoned it because there are things that even the Heterodynes would prefer not to know that notice when time is meddled with.
	"You brief humans think of time—if you think of it at all—as a natural thing. Ubiquitous. Inevitable. You are blind little fish in the waters of a vast, deep cave. There are… others who see time differently. When it is meddled with, they notice."

The Castle then tells the story of Master Robur and his crisis of faith (cured by pie), and states that Gil's father has now outdone the Heterodynes in recklessness, having stopped time with, seemingly, no plan to restart it. If Gil can't disable the black-level device, bad things will happen, and his time (a-heh) is dwindling.

	Tweedle's uncle (a bishop) scolds him for his precipitate action. We discover that Tweedle doesn't want the Corbettites against him and that he knows Agatha is in St. Szpac. He explains his philosophy of royal power and where Baron Klaus Wulfenbach went wrong. (The man Tweedle calls uncle on this page is identified as a bishop on page 97 ✣ of the online version of Act 2, Volume 1.)
	Tweedle: "Uncle, if the Baron had deigned to declare himself Emperor— the Fifty Families would be his slaves. His mistake was that he refused to play the game. His obvious contempt insulted everything the Noble Houses are. I promise you—I can play this game. They will fight for the honor of dying for a King."

But not if they can't find her, and Brother Otto will take her a good hiding place—the catacombs.

Brother Ulm says he'll tell her, right after they get to a safe place. Brother Otto argues that the tunnels are safe enough, just before the wall comes crashing down on him.
