Sometimes being known as big trouble keeps your loved ones safe!
Sadly when you not very big there’s always someone that wants to
test the rumors…
So it wasn’t a odd happenstance, it was planned. An attack fleet
trying to destroy a P’teran ship “just because?”. This is a test,
to see if they had Imperial tech and to see what the Imperial
fleet would do, tread carefully now, it’s a trap!
Being “known”, and not very big, you just described my misspent youth.
Fortunately for myself and everyone else,
things never went as far as I was willing to take them.
I had the all-time record for detention in high school, mostly
because everyone decided my sister was a whore after her rape
and I was always trying to defend her, plus after seeing me
pick up a guy and throwing him over a 6 ft fence for picking a
fight with me and backing out at the last second, there was
always groups that wanted to test me…
More so when it became common knowledge I could bench 200 lbs
and dead-lift 400 by time I was 17, getting me mad was a game I guess…
Rough neighborhood but the owner of a small diner teaches basic calculus?
I smell a story.
Not as small a patrol ship as I thought if they carry two Tobies. MIGHT not
need to fight a holding action until backup arrives. Weapons reminds me of
a young Ted. I expect Scar is right and the Pteran was actually DRIVEN thru
the wormhole. This is indeed where it begins for real.
Evening classes. It’s a poor neighborhood, but the residents
don’t have to remain poor.
Besides, people eat and drink while learning. Owner’s no fool.
Instructors are volunteers, they eat and drink for free.
A light long range cruiser maybe with the toby’s staggered could work,
The Pride was a decent-sized freight hauler and it carried 4. Weapons
most likely grav missiles and kitty litter w/ conventional warheads for
warnings etc… still a good match for core ships, the Pride took out 2
cruisers and a frigate on it’s own.
A reputation can be both a blessing and a curse. I never started fights,
but I sure as heck ended them. I got suspended three times in one year
for fighting in middle school. People learned not to mess with me when
I threw an old student’s metal desk from one end of the classroom to the
other, diagonally. Strong arm, but my aim sucked. I missed my target
by two feet. Probably was a good thing though.
Most of my detentions came from an incident which sent a kid
to the hospital and almost got me expelled. I was trying to
not let anything get started by the main office when I snapped
and back-fisted a kid dislocating his jaw, when he put his hands
up I grabbed one and dislocated his wrist, then holding it high
I landed a solid kick to his ribs breaking 3… The cops got called
on that and I was forced into counseling… But those jocks never
tried to start crap with me after that… and my Sensei kicked my
tail for using his teaching like that.

Does he teach, though?
Maybe the formulae (or fragments thereof) are just for decoration.

PC – You did a remarkable job on her expression
in panels 3 & 4. Especially her eyes.
Thank you.
