310 - Turbulent Times

El Cid

on April 16, 2020

I'm a bit late with this update, sorry about that. Also, I apologize for the dialogue if it seems clunkier than usual. I had this page already done weeks ago, dialogue and all, but I couldn't find the file. I don't know I accidentally deleted it, or if it was saved in some weird place all along and I just don't know where it is. So I had to re-do the dialogue on the fly, and honestly I forgot what exactly they were supposed to be saying in each panel. But I still mostly remembered the gist of the conversation, so… this will have to do, I guess!

AUTHOR'S NOTES

In the first panel, Rana is referring to the cargo vessel carrying Rahu (the “sun eater”), which vanished near the dwarf planet Salacia. Because this story will end well before any of that stuff comes into play, it's really not super important to know about (though it will come up again).

And yes, Salacia is a real dwarf planet. It orbits beyond the orbit of Pluto with a large inclination. I figured it would be a nice remote location for a Somalia-style space pirate haven.
