Interesting that instead of a "yes" or a "no" Hannelore went for being flustered.

But then, we don't really know all her reasons for moving to Earth.

Does anyone seroiusly think she'll stay?

Of course given Jeph's comments a while back it's possible she will stay.  Not permanently, but I can imagine a plot arc where everyone visits mopeyville because she's not around.

I wonder how Station's holo-glass was filled, exactly. (It's empty in 2155, but full in 2157.) I mean, there's no holo-bottle visible. Did Station create a bottle and then make it disappear? Does the not-glass just suddenly appear to be full of not-wine? Or maybe Station makes a holo-fountain appear in mid-air somewhere that shoots holo-liquid into his glass across the room?

Maybe Station could visit the surface using a mobile emitter like The Doctor from Voyager. That's better than Hannelore getting put on a bus space station.

Station has a real glass set on the table next to the bottle, as well as his hologlass.  Hanners must have been quite flustered to have chosen the hologlass rather than the real one to pour into when they were close together or even slightly overlapping.

Well, this is going to require some extremely delicate handling in order to... oh who am I kidding? It's all going to end badly. Hannelore probably won't regress, as such, but she does seem quite freaked out right now.

Possibly because Station rather bluntly said that he'd like to convince her to stay, with the added romantic implications. But that's really not what Hannelore needs; relatively speaking, she's only made any friends on Earth and learned how to interact with them very recently in her life, and Station even suggesting that she might throw that all away to stay in space at this stage strikes me as very poor form indeed. :x

For comic #2157...

1. I am very thankful that this strip was not the weekend cliffhanger.  Waiting to see the results of this strip for 3-4 days would have been awful... :psyduck:

2. I notice the table set-up has salt-shaker & pepper-grinder, as well as plates and napkin-wrapped silverware.  Makes me wonder what courses Station has had prepared for this date?

3. Art-wise, Panel #5, with Hanners' " ...! " expression really caught my eye, with the slightly-off frontal shot.  Good draw on Jeph's part there.

4. Poor Station, whatever he had desired, I am fairly certain it is not quite turning out as he envisioned.  But then, when does wooing a girl like Hannelore ever does...?

5. I also agree with Method of Madness in that the Station's holo-jacket draped over the chair was a nice touch to detail.

6. @bicostp...  "Please state the nature of your medical-  why am I in a coffee shop wearing a barista apron...?"

7. @Carl-E...  Everybody Loves Hannelore.  Starring Ray Romano as Marten Reed, Ed Asner as Pintsize, and Tyler Perry as Hannelore Ellicot-Chatnam.

8. @pwhodges... Huh, I only noticed the real glass to holo-glass with that point-out.  Another good touch to detail there.

9. As for how will QC in Space end...?  Station falls on Northampton.  Everyone dies.

Space wine.

There *is* the possibility that Hanners knew that Station would ask her to stay prior to jetting up there, and was merely dreading the time when that question would be asked. On the other hand, she strikes me as a person that's emotionally transparent, so a Shocked Hanners would mean that she's really surprised that he'd ask that question.

Also, butts. Jeph's seemingly gone a pretty long time without drawing them. At least, for the finished product - I dunno about the stream.

Fixed your post. Initially, the only thing I could think of that FYP might mean was five year plan; this is why, outside of texting, using acronyms for common language phrases is bad.

But the use of acronyms, like FYP, was established usage in email and on bulletin boards (as forums were once called) well before texting even came along.  (Also note what I've done to the acronym using BBCode.)
