He's also a 'captain' and that might have a cultural significance.

Yes, but only two of those have had extended (verbal) conversations and I assumed the third is briefed on anything security related. But having said that, I have no idea how much they have shared telepathically. It might be one of those creepy, "We've just met, but you're continuing a conversation I...

If I were to hazard a guess, can he stay rational or will he be another emotional rutting male? Most of the crew have seen him, but few actually know him.

I wonder about that. To operate and monitor a spacecraft, you can get by with a small crew. But you can also look and something with a multi-mission role like a Nimitz class carrier, it has 6,000 sailors without the added complexity of being space worthy. The limit on crew size might have more to do...

Flipping through pages at random and I noticed that the bandage is blue. Nice attention to detail, it would, of course, match their skin tone.

Or, maybe due to a shipboard radiation accident, he's sterile/damaged goods and effectively useless to the others except as some diplomatic token.

And gladly bought.

I got this as a PM, identical to one I got on Fear the Boot.

I like that idea. All that mass was expensive to put up there, repair, re-purpose, or recycle it.

Awesome! Page 103! Grats Arioch for getting another beautiful piece created and posted. Also, I would personally pay $10 per page of updates via Patreon. Well, he does have a PayPal donation link. :-) I went with $1 a month, that won't break the bank and it might work out well if enough people were...

Rejoice! And, hit snooze until the next page drops.

I don't have a horse in the Hugo debate (although I do have some friends in the Sad Puppy camp.)

I know of the Eisener Award for comic books. Is there anything like that for web comics? [Trying to derail back on track.]

Wikipedia to the rescue.

Fun stuff! Minor nitpick, he probably tied it to his waist and not his waste. The latter would be rather nasty.

That the Loroi have, but we also know that there was another ship that was there before them.

Kirkland in the hands (claws) of the Umiak would be just as compelling of a first contact story.

Well, there is that little tidbit that Ellen Kirkland was talking after the Bellarmine lit up. I can so see a parallel story arc with her in it as an Outsider.

I always heard it as "How about them dodgers?" :) Swerving back on topic... The answer seems to be not much. But, we don't know much about the enemy either. Perhaps the Umiak have some psychic abilities different from the Loroi that humans are also immune to. For example, what if the Umiak are into ...

I'm sure the data is good. Over the life of the carrier, its weight will change with missions, refits, etc. A single number can only describe the vessel at a given point in time.

We'll, if I'm on the jury, I'm not going to cook the golden goose.

Psyched to read the news that Outsider will start up again. Just wanted to post my excitement and encouragement.

My tactical advice for the Winter Tide would be to move in close to a Umiak heavy and in the 'shadow' of whatever the blisters will do. After the blast and possibly under enemy sensor blindness, make a run for it. Heading for the Umiak supply/logistical train/tenders might also draw fire away from t...
