Yep. Stuff is getting WEIRD. As if it weren’t already.
I hope nobody minded that I kind of went on Silent Running last week – I had a major deadline to meet at work, which included traveling a long distance mid-week to a meeting at a construction site. So I’ve been pretty busy.
I’m also still having weird site issues I haven’t had time or spare effort to resolve: f0r some reason I can’t hot-post replies to comments at the moment, and because of the loads of spam I filter out I have some pretty intricate site guts that attempt to keep things reasonably secure, but which also hinder my ability to find or implement an easy answer. So that means that responding from my phone on my way to work is kind of out of the question for the moment, so my response times are way lower than usual.
Anyhow, I’m still rockin’ and rollin’ here. More work, more deadlines and so on, but one thing at a time. Until next week, folks!
Hah! Called it; note the aura departing (next to last panel) and her eys returning to their normal color (last panel).
😀 You win the prize! Whatever that is… I’ll think of something.
Want a UNA pin? I still have those.
Sure, not that I expected any swag. 🙂
Sure, why not? Send me a mailing address.
Technically, that would be the legendary Marvel No-Prize(tm), which can be repurposed to just about any venue. 🙂
Whew! Glad that’s over.
Oh, it’s NEVER over. Never, quite.
I like how your story about psychic robot ghosts really sticks to its guns regarding the hard sci-fi setting. 😉
What, starting with the thousand-ton robotic tanks? 😉
Have I failed to hang all of this together yet? I’m going somewhere with this, trust me. 😀
Hehe, I trust you.
…So long as it’s not all “just a dream”. 😛
It was ALLLLLLL a dream…
Now let’s all have Waffles and Nanners!
The END!
I promise… NOT that.
“We need a priest… no, two priest!’
Yeah. Exorcism sounds like a very sensible approach right about now.
The power of Microsoft compels you!
🙂 I;m a player in a role-playing game set in an extremely distant future and, whenever we find a computer that has been unused for a while, invariably joke about how many software updates (ESPECIALLY from MS) are waiting for it if switched on.
(“Please Stand By. This System Is Loading 423,688 Updates.”)
It hasn’t happened yet, but we expect it to.
Funny you say that, about a month ago my workstation did an update of over 36,000 items. So your estimate might be low.
😯
Yikes!
Also, I hate to double-comment, but I’ve been meaning to ask forever. What’s the purpose of the quilted section on the right shoulder of the UNA uniforms? I have been assuming that it’s there so one can more comfortably shoulder a rifle, but I’m not sure.
It’s just an officer’s tunic. If you notice, enlisted UNA soldiers have no shoulder pad and an extra pocket. For holding all the orders-in-writing the guys with the padded shoulders issue. It’s a way of making officers easy to recognize in the bunker – in the field they’d wear common BDUs with low-viz insignia to conceal rank to avoid snipers, etc.
The only exception is Dr. Haakman who has a modified officer’s uniform. This is because unlike the others, the medical staff is from the Royal Dutch Navy and Haakman, though technically a senior NCO (Senior Chief Petty Officer, or Sergeant-Majoor, note the sleeve chevrons on his uniform). He is therefore actually a senior enlisted man commanding out-of-rank due to UNA manpower shortages, wearing an equivalent Naval uniform modified against code to make him recognizable as a command authority in the event of an emergency.
Ah, thanks for the reply. It makes much more sense that way, and also looks cool as hell.
Definitely weird. Did you already tell us her eye is going to grow back, or am I being presumptuous?
I did not say one way or the other – and I won’t confirm or deny anything. UNA policy, doncha know. 😉
Victor….Victor….is gone for now..
