I know saying “Happy New Year!” is so ten days ago now, but here we are. There’s been lots of great speculation and discussion about Galaxion over the past year, and it has been great fun to read it all. It’s an awesome (and slightly scary! 
) feeling to know that somehow I have attracted an audience who are so much more clever than me! But maybe I shouldn’t be surprised by this? Because it’s just common knowledge that all Galaxion readers are extremely intelligent and good looking to boot.
Happy New Year to all you intelligent and good looking people! And yes, that means you! Thank you for reading. 
Mass micturation to replace the decay inhibitor gel? Or salivation?
I don’t even… that is actually a hilarious thought.
Huh… I guess she’s assembled a workforce? Sneaky Ari!
Also, some of them look familiar, though that may just be the style. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that Ari raided the science lab…
I get a vague feeling some of them may be cameos of characters from other comics; nobody I can put a name on, but I get a Franco-Belgian vibe of this group. OTOH, even if they are cameos, that could be an ongoing cameo that started in the science labs.
I am terrible telling this, but is Tara being sarcastic?
You mean the “intelligent and good looking” statement? I think we can be sure that it is true, as the author’s devotion to absolute objectivity is notorious.
I just can’t help feel that the “more clever than me” to be deeply sarcastic and since I have been vocal for some strips, probably because I written stupid stuff.
Sorry if I written stupid and/or arrogant stuff.
I think she’s just having some fun with us. And, at my stage of life, I’ll take whatever compliments I can grab on to
I did not see this development comming at all, but I LOVE it
It appears those uniforms were hastily liberated from somewhere – laundry, perhaps?
It is the standard work uniform. I think the more wrinkles are just artist evolution (it is easier to draw clothes wrinkle-free).
ok, first: good job with 2016. i loved it.
next…um…conspiracy time? so…what if they were able to refine the chemicals the miesti use and recreate the empath/telapath ability and use them to share information more easily and thus make faster repairs?
otherwise, this is getting good. i hope it continues.
Harumph. It’s been good for a long time. (/fogey).
You are over-complicating it and adding a lot of wishful thinking, fairly typically for conspiracy theories (good job I guess?).
Ari has just gathered a work crew of people that are not normally part of the engineers and is working up the nerve to volunteer them.
Oh no! They don’t actually want *me* for something, do they?
Heh. This reminds me of ‘Trim Parties’ on the sub.
“And I would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for these meddling kids and their mangy dog!”
Wow. The engine room is pretty big.
How fast does Aria waslk, for her braid to be flying up like that!?
