Alice Grove MCDLT - January 2017
brasca:
New year. New month. New poll. And for me a new avatar. I felt this was appropriate since Gavia is my favorite.
Hopefully this strip will get back to 2 updates for week. 2016 was disappointing and I'm not all that enthusiastic about 2017 so I need some pick-me-ups.
BenRG:
Not a 'rocketship' but some means to get to the space habitats in a way that is actually obvious in hindsight like a point-to-point teleporter or portal generator. Remember that Ardent got to Earth thanks to the cooperation of an 'operator'. That doesn't sound like they necessarily need a classical spacecraft of some kind.
Either that or something entirely out of left field.
"What is this place, Alice?"

Possibly, but the scientists of the time when the bunker was sealed may not have developed working teleporters and while Ardent can upgrade certain technology I'm not sure what he could upgrade into a matter transporter. Besides Alice seems to think that there are rocketships to be found in the bunkers and she'd know best since she was probably there at the time.
FunkyTuba:
Jeph was saying on twtr that he has built up a 2wk QC buffer and had more than that scripted. hopefully he'll be able to spread some of that banked work over to alice
Edit: perhaps I'm being weird here, but rereading this cold it comes across back to me as sounding entitled, which was not my intention... Jeph of course is free to deploy the fruits of his industriousness in any way that works for him and I'm glad he's in a super-productive phase 👍
Skewbrow:
This scene reminds of the passage from the old adventure game Space Quest II. The only (IIRC) way through a maze of tunnels was for the protagonist to keep a glowing gem in his mouth (something he first had to find from an underwater cave in the swamps).
