Outsider page 272
🕑 Added 2024-03-01 02:37:08 +0000 UTCI originally had this scene set when Alex and Beryl were still guarding the magazine, and Alex was contemplating whether he should deliberately try to set off one of the torpedoes. But I think it fits better here.
Thanks as always for your support.

No, but we can hope...

Has Arioch said romance is going to be part of the story? The comic thus far has been PG, but it's easy to imagine a different version with bonus scenes (e.g. page 47). PS definitely on Team Fireblade here.

Great hero shots at the end there

I'm loving how this is progressing!

Talon seems pretty transparent - she's a pilot who knows her limitations and was perfectly happy, eager even, to put herself under Alex's command. Tempo by contrast has radiated shifty diplomat vibes from her first appearance.

Personally, I suspect that he's going to wind up with Beryl, Tempo, AND Fireblade. Considering how rare males are in their society, such an arrangement would not be all THAT strange. Especially as Humans seem to have a slightly higher body temperature than these ladies, and they DO seem to like warmth...

I agree Arioch, the scene fits here. Looking forward to the rest of the story. Could you by chance go buy a winning lottery ticket so that you don't have to work and we don't have to wait a month between panels? :)

It has often been suggested that in battle, soldiers fight not so much for nations, ideologies, and great causes as for the comrades in the trench alongside them... Especially when they're not icky space bugs.

Fireblade a.k.a the Nightmare Inducer is back.

@Arioch, very nice choice.

Interesting that this suggests Alex trusts Beryl specifically. I suppose Tempo is harder to trust and he likely doesn't know Talon well enough. Beryl has been pretty transparent and more directly involved with him.

The allure of blue alien women conquers every reservation.
