== About the sigils. ==
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who didn't notice that the sigils used in the "sky messages" can be seen as a very abstract way of representing certain messages and ideas. Cubish tripod shapes that vaguely look like computer monitors, flowing lines that resemble giant bird-ish shapes... ect.
{{quote| [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}263 The figures look] like two computers with feet standing next to a vague winged figure. From a distance, it also looks like a face with monitors serving as eyes and the shape at the middle being a nose and mouth. Possible rough translation: "Will you let us speak?"<br />
[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}264 This figure in the last panel] looks like a bird with outstretched wings. Possible rough translation: "You can enter."<br />
[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID{{=}}480 This page] shows the same sigils, but sent up in the opposite order. This means that the sigils being used change meaning based on when they are sent. Specifically: these mean "can a representative come" and "a representative can come". }}
[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/index2.php?show_id=874 On this page], the shape looks a lot like Khepi and her hair. It could mean something like "Tree-mother" or "Protector Matron". The hair looks like it is curling around a dot, which could represent one of her children. In this case, the sigil could mean something like "Protector Matron welcomes you" or "Protector Matron will house you". [http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=833 The flowing symbol] on the blue banner with the dot on the end looks a bit like the one used when we see Khelpi. Considering the streamers, I wouldn't be surprised if it the flowing with the dot did mean "welcome".
