Yes it is. how are they gonna get out of this? why is the osi trying to kill brock? will seargnt hatred's wife leave him? will H.E.L.P.eR survive? will brock survive? will dr.orpheous factor in in some way? Why did the guild make the monarch stop arching dr.venture in the first place? does this look infected to you? who will the osi send next? butter me i'm on a roll! will the gang make it to spider-skull island? will triana show up? what will kevin conroy do in season 4? bule red green! "whew" sorry I was on a roll there and lost my sanity but a majority of those were legitimate questions.

They are trying to kill Brock because he initiated the Bodyguard Terminate command in ORB.

but WHY?

I mean, Sandow lived a good life after he killed Col. Venture. Why would the O.S.I. want to kill Brock for following Orders?

Or like 21 and 24 would say "You can't yell at us for following orders. - Or kill us for following orders."

I bet it's some kind of bureaucratic screw-up.

I think Brock just didn't know what he was doing. He thought he was getting information on having to kill Rusty but activated his termination code, which is like a really cool suicide pill. If an agent is captured or compromised, he self terminates to protect his secrets. And Brock doesn't know how to stop it.

I think it is something like that also.

I suppose it will be resolved either next week or next season.

This show gets into unexpectedly deep SF territory sometimes, and I wonder if Brock is going to die and be cloned. That would open up all sorts of phildickian questions of identity and being.

That was the impression I got as well especially since he went "Ah, did you just fire me or kill me" after it saying "Agent Brock Samson, Terminated"

(Pre)Sgt. Hatred gave Brock the order's assigning him to Operation Rusty's Blanket in Invisible Hand of Fate. The "Orders Regarding Body Guard - Termination Clause", buried with the Edison phonograph, had a Guild insignia.

Has Brock actually been following (unknowingly) Guild orders all this time?

People who are confused about this clearly haven't been paying attention. EVERYTHING about Sandow and Colonel Venture had guild dragons- the guild didn't used to be an evil organization, it only became one later. You'll notice there's a sword going through the dragon instead of it standing on top of the world. The Guild of Calamitous Intent is a successor organization to this original guild.
