*Blinks and backs up a few pages to read*

the broken docking clamps do not bode well

Reactionless Drive, then... They got brushed by the fringe effect of the Field Effect Plateau... Smoothing out the field within the bubble causes the drop-off to be more severe... This doesn't matter normally, since a ship isn't near the edge of it's own field... But get brushed by someone else's, and OUCH...

I now understand why Tugs, and Rated Pilots are both required by law...

I like to explain it using magnets. Two magnets working together stick well and a smaller one can influence a larger one quite a bit. But if you have another magnet come zooming through with the same polarity and the fields interact-

CHAOS.

the problem now is this is becoming a attention riveting comic, and it's a back-burner project for Flinters.

Actually I just drew the cover up today- it's a watercolor painting at 11x17 in size. I'm very happy with the results and that will be posted shortly.

The entire comic is done and I'll be posting the other pages shortly as well. I will have the entire thing laid out and I hope to give it to Jarlidium Press this week so they can get it printed in time for Further Confusion.

But don't worry, this comic is most certainly going to continue. :)

Keep it up, and you might end up in High Orbit....

You know, one of the first serious and furry story that I ever read came outta Seattle, at the pencils and inks of Steve Gallacci and his Erma Felna, EDF story. Come to think of it, he lives in Seattle, too, doesn't he?

(grinning eeeevil grin) you know, wouldn't it be something if Steve could read this and be spurred to write new storys?

That... would be awesome if we could get ALBEDO restarted.

Steve is in Seattle, you are in Seattle, Do you have his contact information?

No. Steve is very reclusive.

I suspect that leila dowling and possibly Lex nakashima may be able to get ahold of him. I think he may be on here, and deviant art...

"Safey"? :3

A little duct tape will set that all right...

I can't wait fort he next installment! :)

"A LITTLE"!!?

Beggin' the Admiral's pardon.. but Red Green doesn't have enough duct tape to fix THAT!

Enough duct tape, and I could build a new ship. Building a working FTL drive out of it might take a bit more work, though; duct tape's semiconducting properties at the superluminal threshold are a might unpredictable. Something about Heisenberg rolling in his grave a relativistic speeds, or some such.

Remember, it's never impossible, it just costs more.

...Well put. I stand corrected.

You mean superconductive properties

No, the superconductive properties are actually quite stable. It's the mass flux switching necessary to maintain the reactionless field at the superluminal threshold that requires a semiconductor with predictable current degradation properties as the mass flux approaches maximum. Most duct tape vendors cut corners and don't screen batches to bin rolls with comparable mass flux breakdown levels. One usually has to do it personally at time of assembly, which means going through seven or eight rolls to find three 5cm strips that match.

Oh; right, of course.

Ah, but the rotational force of Heisenberg could be used as a means of propulsion. :)

Only if you can locate him when he's rotating at those speeds!

The Mythbusters might...

Now the drama really begins.

"My apologies, Captain, I was only trying to keep up with you."

Who/whatever it was that passed them so fast is the real problem. And how can you warn anyone if you didn't get a fix?

Any get the number of that truck that just hit us?
