Ominous shadows in the background! Watch out! Wait what? Why’d I come out of a lurkdom again?

awww, the meet-n-greet with old friends sorry to say it, but you drew Rei in quite the sexy pose ^_^

Welcome aboard, Rei! Lesson 1: how not to get shot by psychotic assassins. ^^

Jamming

@ AKADivya – You came out of the lurkdom because the shadows were crowded with Archangel’s psychotic assassins.

I hates psychotic assassin’s, they makes us professional assassin’s look bad. They never bury their bodies properly and they leave blood everywhere. Have some pride in your work, like professional assassins.

Cultural/personal quirk: it takes the energy out of the situation for me when a person presents the plot in a conflicting manner. Here, a) sister was very young b) sister was very helpful (as warrior, implied by 3d person). It could happen, but then I wonder about the meaning of the presentation, to the point it harms the enjoyment. (And yes, I _know_ we humans are acting inconsistent. So sue me for my inconsistency! :-D)

@ Jamming: Seems to me Pro. Ass. has pride, never bury it properly and leave plenty of boasts everywhere… 😉

@Trob

I don’t want to you take this the wrong way, but I have been noticing a trend with you. I’m not sure if English is your first language but ever since you have started posting here it has been very difficult trying to figure out what exactly you are trying to say. Everything you write is overly complicated in some cases (and from other readers.) you seem like a “Troll”, I’m not sure if this is your intention or not, its just tough to figure out what you are trying to say.

I’m not trying to call you out, just figured I would explain something on our end to you and how we sometimes see your comments, which may or may not be misinterpreted. Its been an on going battle trying to figure out if that’s just the way you talk and you mean no harm or if you are being critical and trying to start something. lol Sorry to bring it up, its just something I have been wondering about every time I read one of your comments. lol I don’t want misinterpretations to bugger things up.

Just a quick note: those shadowy figures are Grey and co, not psychotic assassins, that would be pretty cool though, XD.

@Hampstap85: Are you really sorry I did that? lol. She is pretty though, maybe that’s why Talos is so protective of her :P.

@Torbjörn: What Drew said, also…

Rei’s only been in a handful of pages and has had only a few lines. I would wait until a character is actually established before pointing out what you perceive to be flaws with her presentation. Also, just because Talos works better without her does not mean that she cannot take care of herself. As her brother he cares for her and wishes to keep her safe, he knows she would be of better use to Agrippa and the Resistance than tagging along at his side in the most dangerous regions of the galaxy.

Can O’Shea understand the Azatoth language? As I recall it had been mentioned that Alexis can. That’s why I was wondering what the humans can make out of the alens’ conversation.

Thanks!

Yes, he can actually speak a couple languages. I didn’t really establish this anywhere, but it’s something you’ll likely see in the future.

It seems to me as if Torbjörn thought that Talos said/implied that he had the help of his sister while she was still a child, and that it seems very unlikely that a child would be of much help. But that’s not how I read the page:

1) Talos and Rei flee Asura, and at this time Rei is still a child.
2) During the years Rei grows up and helps her brother out.
3) Talos wants to protect Rei by handing her over to Agrippa, and it’s her protests which Talos considers ‘childish’, not her competence. (Though I suppose that “many ways” could include more areas in which she is a child. But Talos could also be exaggerating.)

Thanks for a great comic, keep up the good work! 😀

Oh, I was coming back to check on some background and see that there are unanswered comments and it is a context to the next page 154 comments.

@ Drew: Indeed english isn’t my first language. Of course I don’t speak as I write on the web, I mostly don’t write as cerebral either. I explained why on the next page (need for a thorough analysis to be able to back up claims).

As for interpretation, the netiquette was originally and still most practical to take the positive interpretation as I mention in the other comment. Of course you don’t have to agree. If you can’t understand and can’t ask, or are otherwise worried about my comments, don’t read them. Of course you don’t have to agree with that either.

Also, I don’t like nick names. Again, you don’t have to agree on being agreeable towards me, just me trying to be helpful.

@ Holly: What I said to Drew, also…

As for Rei, see below what I say to Gillsing. Noted on what you say on the whole presentation, but I had a problem with the immediate presentation.

@ Gillsing:

Precisely! Thanks for the alternate reading, 3# was obvious and no problem for me as #1; #2 solves #1, and I can accept that.

@Trob

Ah I see then, that explains why everyone has to decipher what you say, makes sense now. Also, to bad about the nick names I’m not stopping, people know who i am talking to when I say Trob, I’m not putting in the entire name every time.

Also the comment about me not reading your comments, seriously? Holly and I make the comic why wouldn’t we read the comments, whats the point in even having comments enabled if we were not going to read them? Plus we have to check for Spam, Trolls, flame wars, etc.

Its also hard to read your comments in a positive manner when they are always so negative with no helpful information, only saying whats wrong with it. Its not just us seeing this, we have friends that read the comic that mention you, and I have received emails about you from other readers as well so I don’t know what to tell you about that.

But whatever, whats done is done and doesn’t need to be brought up again. Your getting the nick name. :p when you post if you have critiques explain how to correct something or what you would do. However don’t be surprised when we don’t use them, this is our comic and while we may use ideas that other people have we still know whats best for the comic. We know whats going to happen, we know when we are introducing story elements, people, etc, we know the characters personalities better then anyone else. The fans for the most part are in the dark on this and that’s the way we want to keep it. We like seeing what the fans think is going to happen, looking at there guesses and them getting involved in the story and characters.

All that’s left to say is enjoy this piece of Science Fiction work and consider its still a fictional story and its meant to have fun with not to be based on pure scientific fact. Then it would be called Science fact, and you can goto NASA for that. lol

Better if the bodies are destroyed completely. Hogs gotta eat, you know!
