1: The intruder tilts its head and looks behind it, responding to a sound in the dark.
<Off-panel a clicking chirp>
<The Intruder trills>
2: The ruined wreck of Kas’s car lays at the bottom of the bank: a strange furry mound sits atop it, dimly lit, a strange creature like within the impostor Kas from Issue #15.
3: Two purple tentacle-like arms wrap around the severed, bloody arm of Kas left in the car.
4: The arm is pulled toward to the figure on the car: a strange mass of hair and tentacles, grasping at the arm. It makes more clicking sounds.
5: Kas looks over his shoulder, crawling away towards the light of the road. The Intruder turns back towards him.
6: The Intruder swiftly swipes down, digging sickle claws into Kas’s legs, making him scream.
Is the mimic-entity a totally different being than the intruder-entity?
Are they both reprogrammed pieces of Black Star?
I find it more likely based on their actions they are on opposite sides. These “Followers” seem to be the secret keepers, those who hide “The Secret” Ms. Dornez talked about with her spooky mentor snek. That’s just speculation, IDK what the disks are for besides some sort of control index for the Portal.
This “Doppelganger” has the agenda of spreading the Black Idol, and seems to have a pretty good idea on how to do that. (Sent offerings to the moon in hopes of getting it to Earth.) What gets me is the Followers motives: Why Just the disks? What is the Endgame for getting them? would they destroy them? Or use them to access a portal themselves?
