Sorry about the semi-lateness of this page (up later on Wednesday than usual), I nodded off before uploading the page late night. Well, it is up now at least.

This page is very blue, and in more ways than one… I apologize for that, but the rather dour topic is important to explaining why Lockre has been behaving the way he was and is a lead-in to the next page.
As for the coloring, the cathedral is illuminated throughout by blue light. It really throws off the other colors used, which was expected. Do not worry though, this lighting scheme will go away as soon as they leave this area.
Moving on, I am fairly happy with most of this page, although there are a few points here and there that I dislike. In particular I am not too happy with the mirror spheres in the first panel.

Interesting point here, the bridges and archways in the background lead to different exits in the cathedral. Each of these doors leads to the memories of a different Lockre persona, each marked by something symbolizing that persona. For example, the pillar in the first panel represents Light Lockre (note the similarity to the head of his staff), meaning that ramp and archway leads to his memories.

EDIT 3-11-09:
A new version of this page has now been uploaded to fix some of the issues with the dialogue I had. Namely, the speeches before did not accurately convey that it is really Prime who is doing this because he has 'standardized' the process of making friends. This is pretty important as a view into his personality, he really does not like unpredictability and likes process.
