Ha! They built personal residences on land they didn’t own.
And got caught. Absolutely serves them right. And even in our world,
there is no requirement to compensate them,
since it isn’t a case of eminent domain,
but of clearing illegal structures from public land.
NOW we know why they tried to pull this, they had illegally
built their homes on someone else’s land WITHOUT permission,
this was a weak attempt to put a stop to anyone finding out.
Ah they were disarmed, now it’s time to talk this idiots down
and get them to surrender. They had to get this close since
the external antennae was taken out.
Not just that.
If I read the prior pages right, the spaceport would have made a seaport
necessary for interasia trade, which would have would have messed
up their nice beachfront.
The fallback plan, industrial park, would have given the couple power
in town and maybe drawn the interest of the government, something
that would have threatened their private little kingdom.
The way I read it, it is their land, but the zoning doesn’t allow for
private residences, public use only.
I suspect they build their homes or rezoned the area so they had
the quietest neighborhood in town with the best view. Reading a
few pages back, a seaport for Interasia trade would have made
it necessary to rezone the area they build their homes on.
And with no higher authority available after the fall, the town was
the town council’s private little kingdom. Even the industrial park
would have gotten the town noticed with the Empire of the Sun,
i.e. threatened the town council’s rule.
At real engagement range (10’s if not 100’s or even
thousands of kilometers), something that size would
be next to impossible to locate visually no matter
what color it was.
that,, was the problem with tv an movies…
the “Visual” look vs what it really looks like.!
with that you run into, “What size is it.?”
IE: BSG, the cool shot of the viper chasing the
raider over the back of the Galactica. –
made the ship over 3 miles long… http://ravensbranch.allen.com/galacticasize.html
panel 5 (i know perspective.) IF the dagger is
30m away then the windows behind it,
are about 50m in size…
but to see one the other is skewed…
Like in “Attack of the Clones” at first glace it looked like
every ship was about to collide with every other one.
Another issue with the OG Galactica was was they were
all miniatures, so visual distances were just “off.” CGI
hasn’t helped any, if anything, it’s made it worse. Still
cracks me up, those nuts that claim that the moon
landings were faked and the images sent back had to
be CGI… 25 years BEFORE CGI was invented… Much
less perfected.
That’s like the American Indians thinking that cameras
stole the soul of who ever was photographed. Many would
kill anyone foolish enough to show them their picture to
them to “save their soul from the white demons.” No joke.
My great grandfather thought radio was some kind of
trick, my grandfather insisted that TV was a fad that
would end “any day now” and my father still thinks that
“Alexa” is a person like on a two-way radio…
And the younger set thinks that the tech they see
everyday has been around forever.
Ah, well it came up with many African tribes as well,
“Any tech sufficiently advanced will look like magic to
those less advanced” which was the entire idea behind
SG-1 and such. Even had cases in TOS where the
locals were being controlled by some forgotten
computer, or some other device. Which is where the
panic over AI has come from, too many TV and movie
depictions of them going rouge.
It wasn’t my intention to offend, just repeating history.
Picture cameras were around in the late 1800’s, many
tribes were still out of touch back then. The invaders were
forcing too many things at once, it was bound to happen.
There was a movie (i forget the name) that someone was
time traveling back to the old west with SMGs and
robbing anyone they could, I believe it was a Van Dam flick.
Hunkpapa, and since the ‘eyes are the windows to the soul.’
each picture steals a portion of the soul.
there are 11 pictures of me in existence. and each time my
ID expires, i ritually destroy it…
joke? how about those that believe earth is flat,, or rabbit
drops colored eggs,, or ,, i can go on, but that gets more in
to religion…
The free ride is over.

Sayonara councilors, adios, aux revoir, and good-bye even.
Everyone remain ccccalm when they get here through the hatch.

I just watched this, it dates back to last April. It
puts me in mind of this conflict.

I love that Daggers are black. They’d be impossible to spot visually.

“Before Invented”… don’t you know.!? it’s all been invented.!
the gov just sets on it till they can make the most money!

.. umm.. i am Native American…
hence why no profile photo.
I can’t believe I had to think about that to realize you were joking…

What you (somewhat) quoted was Arthur C Clarke’s 3rd
(and best known) law:
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic.”

Damn. Panel six. I forgot to add jump nacelles to the enemy Dreadnought.
*sigh*.
If you had put them in, what would they have looked like?
I will render one and email it to you.
(sudden image of pylons with a huge coil spring with a point
on the north end and a combat boot on the other…)
(SPRINTS to to the bathroom mirror) and shouts
“Stop it! You KNOW better!!!”
😛
PC, maybe they jumped the nacelles out, once the attack started?
“Trying to protect their ftl drive edge?”
Or they were made so badly they broke up and fell off?
The mods were a rush job…
Super ballsy move by Ukraine.

I apologize. There will be no Wednesday page.
I thought I could last through today, but am going back to bed.
We’ll keep. You just get better.
PC, we’re here for you, you know we will
as long as you’ll have us.
We will be here. You look after yourself first
