Who is Eizar?  Have we seen his/her/their work on the site before? ???

Uh, yeah. She did both Nymphomania and Enchanted Summer.

Took me a few minutes to scroll back and find Nymphomania.  Wow!  In spite of the fact that I have no clue what this entry could be about, I'm excited to see her take on the SJI universe. She seems to favor softer shades that allow her work to project intimacy...if that makes any sense.???

I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by this.  There's very little hint in the title.  It isn't contiguous with the current continuum (so it's not like this is Adrian trying to free everyone or Dani reasserting herself).  The only inkling I get (and this is probably wrong) is that this might be an explanation of how Claudia gained autonomy over the New York harem (though frankly, such a storyline would seem to be at odds with the artist's preferred moods and portrayals in past work for the site).

Oh, first I thought you meant the models of aircraft that Claudia has around, but it sounds like you're referring to calendars...and I still don't get it.  I get the impression that Adrian might try his hand at deprogramming everyone or turning it over to someone he trusts, but who could he possibly trust in this situation?

Well, that was totally unexpected.  She's a military brat?  Of a General?

I'm on my mobile only for the weekend.  Can someone tell me what the pop up text says?

Lastly: how young is D supposed to be here?

HOLY...er..cow!! :o :o :o :o :o :o  Dani used to be Canadian Lois Lane (in some continua anyway). ;)  I would not have pegged her for a pilot or a military brat either.

At first blush, the link looks considerably different, but maybe not.

Remember, it's not the General's plane.  It's a loner from an outfit in New York.  A contractor in New York...hmm.  Maybe the industrialist to whom it belongs ran the New York harem.

I actually didn't see anything about her calendar but the month.*headslap*

That pop-up text is the understatement of several centuries.  He's so busy that he didn't notice his daughter got kidnapped and her personality changed completely (unless she muted it around him in deference to military discipline....but I don't get that sense from this installment).

Daphne can we assume that Teterburo is actually Peterborough, Ontario where we Canadians have an Air Force base?


Title: Re: Saint James Infirmary Guest Page 5: Resume Own Navigation

Teterburo Airport is a small airport just west of NY. I'd think this was just before she became involved with the Watch in NY.

On a totally unrelated note:  I am guessing this scene is happening at CFB Uplands/Ottawa International Airport  in Ottawa, Ontario because if the General had to drive to National Defense Head Quarters  (NDHQ) from anywhere else it would be a looooong ride.  It would make sense also that she ferry the plane back from this location as there wouldn't be a need for any refueling stops on the way.  On a double side note:  If you have ever lived in Ottawa; the only two games in town are Politics and Hockey.  The first gets far more attention from the populace than the second... And NDHQ is right across the street from a really big shopping mall :)..  Yay for Canada references.. maybe for a winter episode you can have them all eating beavertails.  Its not as dirty as you think.. its a pastry.

That's a very good guess, but there is one other airport it could be... :)

Dani used to be Canadian Lois Lane (in some continua anyway). ;)

Just a reminder that these guest pages are canon (the events described really did happen in the main SJI continuity, just at different times). It's not an alternative universe or something. :)

Actually, I take that back; it does have to be YOW. A special prize to the first person who can tell me the other airport I was thinking of, and why it can't be that one. :)

CFB Rockcliffe.  

 Now home to  Canada Aviation and Space Museum.

Its a pretty cool museum

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CFB_Rockcliffe

It can't be Rockcliffe...
Reasons:  

Rockcliffe got decommissioned years ago.

From the article:

By 2009, the Canadian Forces had completely departed from Rockcliffe. Most RCAF buildings had been demolished by this time, although some of the abandoned military housing remains; mothballed for potential future use. As of October 13, 2009 the roads leading into CFB Rockcliffe were permanently closed off and access to the base will no longer be possible. After several decontamination and repair operations are completed, it is expected the property will be sold to private interests for future development as previously announced, although the topic remains uncertain and still causes much debate.

Uplands got amalgamated with with the Ottawa international Airport (well parts of it) so it is still an active base (Love wikipedia!)
If it weren't for the uniform/air force aspect then the plane could have landed on at least a half dozen airfields in the Ottawa region.
Rockcliffe is still used by the Rockcliffe Airport and Flying Club.

Well well well, so the girl that started this all was an Airforce brat.  Hmm... The story demands that the General finally finds his long lost daughter while she's under the control of our hero, after all we can't make things too easy for Adrian.

Minor nitpicks from a former Canadian Forces guy...the cap should be a blue wedge, not that...whatever it is. He also wouldn't be putting it on getting into the vehicle. The driver should be in uniform, and wearing a cover. You don't salute in the Canadian Forces (or most other Commonwealth forces I'm aware of) if you aren't wearing some form of headdress: you come to attention instead. Saluting without something on your head is what Americans do, and if there's one thing the Canadian Forces is very picky on, it's not being mistaken for Americans.

True story: some officer-cadets showed up for their first infantry officer training session at CFB Gagetown one summer and being all gung-ho (ironically) about it, decided to have their heads shaved partway through the course. They were informed they were confined to base for the duration of their training, and said confinement continued for some of the slow hair-growers after they returned to the military college in the fall until their hair grew back in. In the words of the regimental sergeant-major, "You are not fucking Americans." There were a few choice words from senior officers informing them of their error in judgement as well.

Yeah... I mentioned this in PM, but: In the script, he was in uniform and cover, and it didn't quite make it to the art. :) The cap issues are all my fault, though.

Okay, I'm afraid I misread most of the discussion locating this entry.

As for my comment about Dani being a Canadian Lois Lane (in some continua), I was referring to the existence of multiple Superman continua (where Lois' parents have a variety of different conflicting characteristics), not trying to classify the exchange we just saw as alternate universe.  Lois Lane has been a character for more than 70 years and I don't even want to guess how many writers and artists have tried to tackle her.  However, the story of her parentage has a lot more give in it than Clark Kent.  Her father's name is Sam Lane, but he's been a reporter, a medical doctor, a lab scientist, and a general at various points.  The favored classification for him at this moment is as a general (but I think he's Army, not Air Force).  I was so surprised that Dani was a military brat and that her father was at least a one-star that I made a celebratory comment, tried to be clever in qualifying it, and just fell into the mud.

Give the prize to jmundt29.  Lois Lane knowledge has a lot more street cred than knowing about Ottawa.

You won fair and square; we just have to find something suitable. :)
