Hey! It’s that guy! Wow, he almost never shows up in this comic. No wonder the other people on the bridge look so stunned.
Did you catch the colour update from Saturday? Actually, you were much better off viewing it on screen than in the printed format, which turned out to be in a sort of newspaper-format guide to TCAF. And speaking of TCAF! Oh, it was all kinds of awesome. Read about it below in the blog. And it featured (from my point of view, at least) the debut of Galaxion Book 2! We’ll have it up in our online store soon, and with a lovely deal for people who want to buy both books.
Wow… it’s Alex Never-Appears-in-This-Story Anderson!
Damn ! The color went out on this display again- (WHACK !)
was there a bet? = )
LOL!
Hah, I remembered his name! Although for some reason I thought he was colonel not chief, I’m still half right though!
No, you are totally right– he’s the chief engineer with the Interplanetary Patrol team and he has a rank: Lieutenant Colonel. Good memory!
Ohhhh it’s me! Well in the Star pirates universe at least… I wondeer what’s troubling him… So Lieutenant Colonel? Sounds good to me.
By the way, nice picture of the TCAF… that sort of convencion is well… It’ll be pretty hard for one to take place here.
I’m still hoping to find out what happened to the people trapped underground and don’t understand why the people on the ship aren’t acting like there is a problem…
Perhaps I’ve just lost track?
They are doing all they can (which isn’t much; they’re in a holding pattern), they’re just not panicking about it. Fusella also set a few things in motion in the beginning of the chapter, the results of which have been happening off-screen.
We’ll be getting back to what’s going on down on the planet shortly. In fact, that scene is currently on my drawing table!
It also helps to remember that TerSA protocol prohibits Fusella from sending another team down to the planet to assist. Jerran reminds Fu of that right after the SCT was taken underground. The team there is pretty much on their own. Fusella did speak with her science team, and the engineers, and threw them together to work on an idea, and has left them to do what they do best. We’ll see the fruits of that collaboration in due course. The rest has been self-distraction on Fusella’s part, because she can’t do more than is already being done, and the bridge team is monitoring the situation on planet. She trusts them to let her know as soon as something starts to happen, but they’ve been out of audio-visual contact since the SCT went underground.

Tara accidentally set this week’s update to post the 16th instead of the 17th. The error was noticed this morning and corrected. Page 211 will be up on the site tomorrow (Tues) morning. Galaxion updates Tuesdays, not Mondays! (except rarely, if you follow the RSS feed)
Oh, hey, it’s… wall dude.
