Updated Chapter Illustrations! · 3:15am Nov 28th, 2015

My ~~art slave~~ illustrator Colby Green got off his duff and got to some of the earlier illustrations. While I'm working on my other project, I'm hoping he can get caught up on a few of the earlier chapters to get them illustrated. So, without further ado, here are two new ones.

And the next is from what might be the most infamous chapter, the joke chapter "An Exception Has Occurred," wherein Turing's budding maiden robot heart first experiences the pangs of affection as it beats for her senpai, Magical Cyborg Princess Gadget-chan! (Note: not a thing, and is not going to be a thing.)
