WCDT 2111-2115 (Jan 30 - Feb 3, 2012) - QC in SPAAAAAAACE!!! Week 2!
pendrake:
After being far too long away due to family, illness (hospitalized), binfuls of work, gaming-guild "drama," and a late start to being able to Force-choke jawas (thankfully I had pre-ordered my Collectors' Edition box)...
(Thorin Oakenshield voice) I...have...returned!
And my gods, QC has apparrently jumped the shark so high in that time that it needed orbital booster rockets!
For comic #2114...
1. "Today's Special: Space Cake!" Hopefully better than Astronaut Cake, because I have had the latter and it was terrible (vaccum-dehydrated neopolitan ice-cream cake...blech)
2. Aww...poor Lt. Potter, she (hopefully) did not deserve that. Not that I am complaining about Station's action at a sense of humor, either... :evil:
3. Art-wise: it is also pretty cute & funny how much Lt. Potter is blushing (from bottom lip all the way up to her beret), so much so that Hannelore is to be somewhat subdued in the punchline panel for it. Wonder if that was on purpose, since a blushing Hanners often takes center-stage among the fans?
4. I find it very uplifting to see that in Jeph's world, the space program and pure-scientific R&D is healthy and thriving, unlike their Real Life versions :cry: . If the Arachnids ("bugs") of Starship Troopers were ever to find us now, when we cannot even get off our planet for any long period of time, Humanity would be extinct in a single generation, if not in a single year.
5. As for military presence, it was likely "insisted" (military speak for: "we ask out of courtesy, but you do not actually get a choice") rather than requested. Especially if Professor Ellicot-Chatnam is a brilliant as been hinted at. Genius is often looked upon closely by government &/or military, for good and bad.
6. @jwhouk... And don't you mean no Space-Shipping...? (baa dumm tssht)
7. Warning - While you were typing, pwhodges & Is it cold in here? had to put on their Moderator uniforms and berets. You may wish to review you post, and tread lightly... (Nice to see some things have not changed that much while I was away :wink: )

No, it's Chekhov.

Station was probably scanning them with terahertz radio waves.

Station only says he can scan to the molecular level. Maybe he only scanned them to a less invasive level sufficient for security.
Never mind that though. I want to know about the SPACE CAKE!
Is it cold in here?:
Doesn't Hannelore have anything to say about her guests getting searched and patted down in her home? Like "I vouch for them, do you have a problem with that, miss"?
I do not envy Lt. Potter, even if she does live aboard a space station. Living someplace where you're working at cross purposes to the provider of your life support sounds stressful.
EDIT: what about chemosensors? Station has to monitor the onboard air pretty closely anyway. Sampling the airlock and checking for explosives and gun oil seems feasible.
Mr. Doctor:
--- Quote from: pwhodges on 02 Feb 2012, 09:57 ---But is the mere presence of a female a loaded gun? That could be seen as a rather sexist way to look at it.
--- End quote ---
It's more than just a female. It's a pic of a female that got drunk and kind of nude which gives the vibe that it might happen more than just once.
It's not like I'm agreeing with Kugai. I'm just saying what I think he is saying because I didn't thought about sexism when I read his comment.
