The one outside the circle? That represents Derse and its moon.

Or do you mean the frog statue that Aradia beheaded and kicked off the top?

Does anyone know why the Draconian Dignitary created Bec?

Also, what's the device on this page? http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003842

And how did Jack get the white king's scepter if the hegemonic brute was killed by what's her face?

Does anyone know why the Draconian Dignitary created Bec?

It is what Dersites are presumably supposed to do, just like how Snowman created Doc Scratch.

And how did Jack get the white king's scepter if the hegemonic brute was killed by what's her face?

We don't know its origins, but it was already floating there and Rose used it to put her walkthrough on it so anyone in Paradox Space can access it.

Here's how the White King's scepter went: First, it was in WK's possession. PM came to him, and he gave it to her. When she wanted to head out, HB attacked her to get the sceptre for Jack. But he punched her so hard, the sceptre went flying off a waterfall. This all happened in [S] WV: Rise up.

Later on, in [S] Descend, CD had retrieved the White Sceptre and gave it to Jack so he could start the Reckoning.

Vriska encouraged him to.

[Blaperile]

Actually, Vriska just made CD show the location of the First Guardian code. DD went to get it out of his own.

[The_Codfish]

The Dersite Agents knew Bec would prototype himself. So it was part of their plan to gain power.

How did grandpa Harley manage to get a giant yacht inside the ruins?

How come grandpa Harley didn't get post-scratch duplicated? And when did he arrive back at Earth? I saw him flying through a portal with his yacht, together with Rose's mom and John's dad, which leads me to the next question;

How did Rose's "mom" and John's dad get on the battlefield?

How come grandpa Harley had a Typheus in his possession?

How did grandpa Harley manage to get a giant yacht inside the ruins?

We don't know, but he probably captchalogued it before going in. We're not even sure whether he went into the session through the Frog Temple or not, but he probably did and B2 Jade probably did too.

How come grandpa Harley didn't get post-scratch duplicated? And when did he arrive back at Earth? I saw him flying through a portal with his yacht, together with Rose's mom and John's dad, which leads me to the next question;

He did get duplicated, he now is Jake. There were 8 ectobabies that John created. The Reckoning sent them to B1and B2, 2 copies of each meteor ended up in one of the places.

The following persons are the same persons:

• John Egbert and Poppop Crocker.
• Rose Lalonde and Roxy's Mom.
• Dave Strider and Dirk's Bro.
• Jade Harley and Grandma English.
• Jane Crocker and Nanna Egbert/Crocker.
• Roxy Lalonde and Rose's Mom.
• Dirk Strider and Dave's Bro.
• Jake English and Grandpa Harley.

We don't know when exactly he arrived back on Earth, but it was after when Jade had already arrived on Earth (for he recognized the dead Dream Jade as his daughter), and while Jade was still young (for Grandpa got killed while Jade was still pretty young).

How did Rose's "mom" and John's dad get on the battlefield?

Grandpa Harley brought them there. This is what he did in the Medium, in chronological order: Pick up Sassacre book on LOWAS (the one Nannasprite had dropped on LOWAS), save John from Underlings, take a Transportalizer to the Veil (followed by Dad), leave the Sassacre book in the Veil (which would be sent back on a meteor with Baby John), ship Dad and Mom on his ship to the Battlefield, find Dream Jade's body and then he left as Dad and Mom waved goodbye.

We don't know whether he immediately went back to Earth or not, as Jade mentioned in a conversation with John in Act 5 Act 2 that both of them would meet her Grandpa (the B1 and not the B2 version as she didn't know about her penpal being her "grandpa" yet) and this has not happened yet.

How come grandpa Harley had a Typheus in his possession?

It's not Typheus, it's a Typheus Minion. He presumably hunted it on LOWAS, just like how he has the heads of other Underlings in his house. Maybe he entered Typheus' palace. We don't know.

It's not a yacht, it's a battleship. It was probably built in the Medium, seeing as, unlike a normal battleship, it can fly.

Grandpa Harley did get duplicated; he's Jake. He arrived back on earth sometime during Jade's childhood, most likely using one of the transportalizers that lead from Derse/Prospit to the frog temple.

Mom and Dad were dropped off of the battlefield.

It's only a minion. He killed and stuffed it.

[cyberHeroine]

I think the duplication question may refer to him being duplicated when he returned, presumably through a defence portal?

In which case the answer is that only the 8 ectobaby meteors were duplicated, hence the lack of meteors in B2

He also pilfered the fourth wall from Jack's office, though that wasn't shown, only referred to.

Ok,this is more an IDE, but I think she was referring to B2 Jake- remember how when Roxy went through the dreambubbles and saw Rose, she 'knew' Rose to be her daughter instinctively? Same deal with Jade. While dreaming, she saw them meeting B2 Jake in a Skaia cloud, and 'knew' that Jake was her 'grandfather' even though it was young him. Her dreamself is also kind of flighty and disoriented, so when she woke up she could just remember meeting Grandpa, not the part where he was only 16 or so.

[Legendary]

She might also have seen the two of them meeting Poppop, and just didn't notice the subtle old man differences.

How would they even go about that? Poppop is kind of enjoying his space flight adventure right now.

Any reason for the hatius? Usually AH posts his reason on the website.

[Wulf]

Any reason for the hatius? Usually AH posts his reason on the website.

None that I found checking on his tumblr or twitter. Presumably either:
1. Something came up in real life requiring him to put the comic on hold for a few days.
2. He's taking a few days break for whatever reason-- to be fair we got 33 pages over the course of the last two days of updates, and it's only been < 4 days.
3. He's working on something that takes a while to draw/put together. Could be a flash video, could be a game, could be a particularly elaborate image.

I have seen several places reference that the uUniverse's Incipsphere has reversed colors. Is that coming from anywhere but skaia growing dark and Jack's uniform here?

We've also seen a bunch of prospitians in black/dark grey clothing I think?

As Rose explains in the guide itself, it's a server located in the furthest ring (like the one that contains the program that summons Lord English). Because of its location, people from different universes can access it (i.e. Kanaya).

And how did Jack get the white king's scepter if the hegemonic brute was killed by what's her face?

(it's Peregrine Mendicant/Parcel Mistress/Prospitian Monarch) The Droll gave it to him; how the Droll obtained it is not known. I suppose PM didn't take it an the Droll just picked it up.

cal looking at the sun is a callback to when Terezi was looking at the sun in Make Her Pay, but that was done by a different artist (viivus I think)

was this one also done by viivus or was it his take on it?

[Redux]

Andrew says he hasn't done collab work since Cascade so that was most likely his take (edit) on it.
