Actually, it would make LOTS of sense to store the machinery of a security system safely within the barriers of it’s effectiveness. At least, if we were talking about a simple sensor/alarm deal it would. However, I’d imagine the kind of security systems for an event like THIS to be more of the “deadly lasers and head chopping things” sort. You know, they kind of stuff you wouldn’t want in the same room as you, even if you’re the one who put them there.

So, this is SORT OF the last of that big batch of pre-convention comics I did. At least, I got the art finished before I left for AWA, meaning all I had to do last night was add the text in. Good thing, too, because this second Conventional Wisdom update is taking FOREVER to finish. I am tiiiiiiiiiiired…

(Historical Notes: Clever suggestion from the comments that Pulse Waves don’t actually have a scent, because really why WOULD either a “pulse” or a “wave,” but instead that the smell is artificially added to warn people if there’s ever a crack in the tube.  Ya know, like actual gas pipes.  It’s a perfectly logical, reasonable suggestion, so of COURSE I didn’t come up with it myself.)
