And that wraps it up–at last– for Chapter Seven! What, me write a cliffhanger?
Some good news: it seems as though Canada Post will be back delivering mail as of today. But with more than two weeks of backlog, I don’t know how quickly things will get through. If yours is one of the orders that’s been sitting in limbo, I will be mailing them out probably in a few days. I’d rather wait for the crush of undelivered mail to move first, so decrease the chance of packages going missing in the confusion.
Weee… the end of that long, character-building chapter!
Hi Tara!
The creasing around the eyes is a very nice detail compared to her “smooth” look before the adventure really got started
I always love big closeups of characters – good job on our intrepid Captain in the last panel! You can definitely tell she has been under stress, compared with the closeup on Chapter 1, pg 10
Anticipation does whet the appetite !
-Absolutely, totally gold: “That’s a Panic Alarm!” ! ! !
-woops. “That’s a Panic Alarm.” ! ! !
Of course it’s a panic alarm. That’s what you do when alarms go off. They don’t call them “soothing” alarms. “Oh, the Soothing Alarm went off. Time to get a massage!”
Great page. This is turning out to be a good story.
the soothing alarm would probably sound different anyway-
on that ship I’ll bet there’s already a button for Foot Massage-
if not and you mentioned it you would have a line outside your door…. !
Oh, man. I want a soothing alarm. Wouldn’t that be nice to wake up to, instead of the standard blaaaaat blaaaat noise? And I’m sure I could do with a soothing alarm telling me it’s time to go read a good book or have a nap. Aaahhhhhh….
well for waking up it might work better if it was more like an incentive- reminding you of the reward more pleasant than being nestled in your sleepy-cocoon- like the aroma of coffee or chocolate !
Took long enough. I’m hoping the stuff with the missing cat pans out into something meaningful, but it’s nice to see things are shifting into high gear again. I can’t wait to see what’s been going on with General Nelson and all on that weird planet.
What is this “panic alarm”?
Sounds like “panic attack” after which whole crew goes into “panic”.
But that’s not how professionals operate, do they?
You’d swear that Star Trek: Next Generation had “soothing alarms”. Whenever they went to red alert, or there was some alien creature eating Deck 8, the alarms would be screaming, the lights would be flashing, and everyone would be *sedately walking* to the source of the trouble. Sorry, but on MY ship, if that alarm is going off, if anyone is bloody walking, if they live through whatever it is, they’re gonna be on report — I want them sprinting, on the bounce, MOVE IT!
Red alert does not mean “oh, my what a nice time for a leisurely stroll”, it means “god oh god we’re all gonna die unless we get to stations fastfastfast”
Just found (and read, start-to-finish) your comic, and love it. Good plot, storytelling, and I LOVE the art. Keep up the good work!
Welcome! We’re always excited to hear from new readers.
I really like that last panel profile of Fusella!
I’m also mildly surprised how she keeps such lovely hair while living on a spaceship. Do they even have showers on board?
