More colour! Woot! Let’s hope I can keep this going! 
I’m hoping it’s clear from context, but Ms Sherman is Elly, whom we first met in Chapter Eight (and we also saw her in the recent flashback). I also hope it’s clear from context that Scavina just finished sharing her entire experience during the time she and the rest of the Survey Contact Team were cut off from the ship, and not just the bit from that flashback. Hence, the account Darvin refers to.
I had an excellent time in Richmond, VA at RavenCon! The panels went well, or at least I hope I didn’t sound too befuddled to the attendees. My favourite one was Social Media for the Shy and Hopelessly Introverted, which, as a shy and introverted person myself, I had suggested as a topic to the programming staff. It seems I’m not the only one with this dilemma! We discussed how to not get too intimidated online and things that we’ve done to help ourselves get past it. I know I’ve got a Facebook Galaxion Fan Page that’s been languishing for a long time. I hope to make that a project soon…
Also, fellow Canadians! Time is running out to get your nominations in for the Aurora Awards. Nominations close April 15th.
The colors are lovely; keep it up!
All the Miesti would need is a ship… assuming they can’t fly through space…
But as noted, they do remember being space travellers…
Man, Darvin’s eyes are so *blue*! I’m noticing that, and I’m a guy. I’m really enjoying the color! Note: I actually don’t read webcomics because of the art — the story needs to grab me in some way, and Galaxion’s got me hooked. But when the art is good, I notice, and I applaud.
Speaking of the story, it’s interesting to see the Galaxion’s crew try and figure out what they’re up against, as they don’t have the benefit of being us readers. This could make for some interesting complications.
Hope the weather wasnt too bad for you here in VA, Tara. I tell folks who moan about our delightful weather, “If you dont like the weather, wait a few hours”. Its already hitting the 80′s! I so hate summer
I can’t help but suspect the Miesti will end up pulling a trojan horse on the Galaxion, on purpose or otherwise…
With regard to a Galaxion facebook page, I don’t see what that would provide that we don’t already have here in the comments. I find this worldwide obsession with facebook somewhat depressing, I overheard someone saying to a friend “didn’t you get my facebook message?”. And there was me thinking that email was the way to send people messages all these years, I guess I must have been doing something wrong since 1984 when I first got an email account. I’ve even had people insist that email didn’t exist in the 1980s when I’ve said that elsewhere. But I digress.
Oh yeah, I get what you’re saying. I’m also baffled at how apparently some people don’t even email anymore, they just Tweet. But the purpose of the Facebook page would be more to attract people who aren’t here already, rather than to give you fine folks here another place to comment (although I wouldn’t object if that was what anyone preferred). Gotta spread the word and all!
Wondering if some people now view e-mailing someone directly as akin to cold-calling them at home: socially verboten.
It’s a theory. Could be wrong.
Excellent panel idea. Would it be okay if I pass that along to a couple other conventions?
I think that would be an excellent idea. Hopefully more shy and introverted people, faced with the daunting task of having to use social media to promote themselves, will benefit from that.
