Hm. Didn’t think we were coming back to these characters this chapter.
Last I checked, Bunsen was one of our leading candidates for the mole. But if she’s been dressing down Fuschia this entire time, I don’t think she would have had time to transfer the gauntlet schematics to Echo, right? (Unless she secretly tracked the gauntlet’s entire development process, and only pretended to discover it tonight…)
Actually, scratch that analysis. What we know is that Fuschia finished the new teleporter today. We don’t know when she finished the gauntlet, or whether she was keeping it secret.
My main suspect for the mole is still one of these two (because I do not want it to be Fuchsia – or Angel, the cat…) I used to suspect Bunsen, but now Doc is actually on top of my list. He was the one who sent Binky and Mustard to the peanut-factory/trap, wasn’t he?
He did, yes. (See Chapter 2, pages 22–25.) But I look at it the other way around: it seems suspicious to me that Bunsen tried to keep Binky and Mustard away from the factory.
As for Fuschia, I don’t see how she could be the mole. We’ve seen too much of her motivations and backstory for that to be plausible. Plus, she wasn’t in the loop for the peanut factory visit, because she didn’t have access to Clown Corps HQ until after Chapter 4.
And Angel? Well, I don’t think a cat can be a mole per se… but Raspberry could be the mole, and if he is, he might be using Angel for that somehow.
“There are two kinds of scientific progress: the methodical experimentation and categorization which gradually extend the boundaries of knowledge, and the revolutionary leap of genius which redefines and transcends those boundaries. Acknowledging our debt to the former, we yearn nonetheless for the latter.”

That said she could have done the test in a lot of safer ways, like not teleporting it onto her hand as the first test.
I guess this way they at least know about her tests and can add some restrictions and safety considerations to them instead of having her go completely wild.
at leastsomeone’s having a good day
I’m already looking forward to the sequel, Clown Corps in Space!
Good for her!!!!!!
