This must be the most panels I’ve ever crammed into one page. That’s just how it goes sometimes– it’s a pacing thing. Also, if rotary eggbeaters– or six-cylinder engines, for that matter– seem strangely retro for a sci-fi story, that’s OK. Aria hails from one of the more distant colonies, where funky stuff like that is probably actually still useful. No accounting for the six-cylinder eggbeater, though.

Pretty girl. Alone. In a deserted part of the complex. Uh oh.
Word.

You have hit upon the very reason why my computer room looks like it does.
Our computer room looks like that, too. Actually, every horizontal surface that happens to have a computer near it is covered with bits of stuff, and so is every horizontal surface and shelf in the garage. My desk is better… I try to keep it more tidy than my dad keeps his.
My whole house looks like that (unless we’re having guests over and then we tidy what we can), though I tend to blame a lot of it on the kids. Who are often busy building things out of their toys. Hm. I’m almost afraid to think what Zan’s house must have been like when he was growing up!
I believe that plopping noise I hear is the other shoe dropping.
And… six-cylinder eggbeater? The mind boggles!
Heck, I wanna see those *eggs!*
Floor-mounted, of course. Don’t think “eggbeater”, think “food processor” — then go looking for 55-gallon barrels or old washing machines. Knead dough for a professional bakery – or for Paul Bunyan’s kitchen!
You know, when I was writing this scene I tried to put in the craziest gizmo I could think of. But somehow you’ve made this almost sound plausible!
Six-cylinder egg beater?? You know, now I want to try and make one of those….
For those shipper’s out there…..she said, “a brother just like you.” That’s almost being told, “I think of you as a friend, Zan.”
They’re never going to kiss, are they…
Yes, the way this iteration of Galaxion has unknitted the Zan*Aria ship that was pretty much canon in the 90′s version, is very comprehensive!
6 cylinder eggbeater is underpowered…

Bet ya’ Mythbusters built one!
