Duke's order "Can the comedy, Alpine" was spoken again in the episode "Bazooka saw a Sea Serpent."
Judging from the images above, even the Baroness gets hot in her black leather outfit while standing in the desert.
Under the banner of trivia, the Egyptian god Anubus, who had a jackal
head, was responsible for tombs and embalming as well as a weigher of hearts
of the dead; Horus was described as a man with a head of a falcon and was
considered a solar deity.

| The Baroness whispers Sett's name in an awestruck voice, however, the next shot shows her still unconscious. |

Scrap Iron is seen kneeling in one shot and simply vanishes in the
next shot.
