Yeah, something about the comic just didn't hit my adorable bone right, and I'm pretty sure that that's it. The beginning is really sweet, but then they're all just lookin' at them. Thank goodness Potter came in to save the day.
I couldn't help but wonder how many of them actually know Hanners either. Obviously she grew up on the station and we know that a lot of the older scientists and workers there do, but some of them look pretty young. Having them just staring at a girl they only know as "the boss's daughter" like that is even odder.
Also pointing out the differences between the panels made me notice the person on the left with their back to the scene. Also strange.
All in all, though...pretty cute. The HannerHug and having Marigold turned in towards the Science Man like that made up for some of the creepy.

Well, how long ago did Hanners leave the station? She's 22 now and I'm pretty sure she was there during her teen years. As far as I know* she could have left between ages 15-17. Maybe even 18. That's only 4-7 years off station. Most of the people could have probably been there like 5 years. Yeah, most of them would at least have a 4 year degree of some sort, but everyone's a genius so some people probably got a degree and went up to the station at like 18 or something.
*sorry if it's known when she left and I'm way off

Digging the gagging scientist quite a bit.

Potter may not be discharged, or necessarily even disciplined/punished for being drunk whilst off-duty, despite opinions and military experiences from our forum-cast. However, public drunkeness has rarely (if ever) been beneficial to one's career or service, as well.

Normally for drunk and embarassing off-duty, a "counseling" is likelier to happen than actual charges being tried, unless it becomes too frequent an event or interferes with duties. Still the articles are there, including the one of general "disreputable conduct", to be used if the command finds something more severe needs to be done. But yeah, as was commented after her first appearances, she seems destined to just complete her mandatory tour and then her poor judgment in her personal life will stall her career progression.

Panel 4 is the most hilarious thing I've read in a while. I will do this at some point.

Lt. Potter

In that she, on or about March 19, 2012, at Space Station Chatham, at the birthday party of Dr. Chatham, when not in uniform, used offensive language and behaved in a drunken and riotous manner by yelling, "F*ck yeah! Hug the sh*t out of him!"

Alternate to Charge 1
In that she, on or about March 19, 2012, at Space Station Chatham , at the birthday part of Dr. Chatham, while not in uniform, did completely ruin the moment by yelling, "F*ck yeah! Hug the sh*t out of him!" at a moment of extreme "D' awwness".
Charge 3: s.97 Drunkeness
In that she, on or about March 19, 2012, at Space Station Chatham, was drunk and behaving in a disorderly manner likely to bring discredit to Her Majesty's service.

Alternate to Charge 3
In that she, on or about March 19, 2012, at Space Station Chatham, was severely intoxicated and behaving in a disorderly manner, and was rendered unfit for duty
Why yes, I have had to write a few of these up over the years.

Pfft, if the Air Force were this strict, then about a dozen colonels and GS11-14's would be kicked out for vandalizing my unit's mascot and our HQ while they were drunk (on a work night, no less). What did they do? TP'd the HQ, and 'decorated' our mascot (a giant concrete gator) with a red hat, an Angry Birds bag in its mouth, chocolate syrup and maple syrup poured all over it, cotton balls, string cheese, a feather boa and more TP, topped off with a giant cardboard and marker sign mocking us.
And no, this isn't a story from "back in the day", it happened four months ago.
God I love the Air Force 8-)
