    Besides, in any meeting between two young ladies (Tenshi and Zasha) and an older man (Carl),
    it’s ALWAYS a good idea to have a “third party” witness (Mrs. Hikaru) to stop any he said/she
    said allegations/accusations/innuendo/etc.
    Plus, the meeting is in an open public place, no one will feel trapped.

    As an up-and-coming NCO, this type of thing was drummed into me repeatedly.
    Which is why, when I read news reports about Officers and NCOs being accused
    of sexual misconduct and “conduct unbecoming”,
    I have to shake my head in wonder and disgust.

    Sad but true but I don’t think it’s purely about their personal safety Mrs. Hikaru has been helping Tenshi run her
    business I suspect it’s not only a contract but something a bit more personal and above-board.

    I really don’t see why the Admiral thinks they have FTL there’s no indication of it but I believe she’s being cautious
    and being pre-emptive a “just in case scenario” it would be a huge tactical advantage in the Core’s favor in which
    case it’s time for some serious clandestine action and possible aggressive? Grav tech was the Wolf empire biggest
    advantage and FTL would greatly diminish it! And lets face it the Empire was a bit OP.

    Espionage across a species boundary is going to be many times more difficult than what we are used to on Earth,
    even with the common language. Unless you have a dragon’s shapechanging ability or something to mimic it.
    Come to think of it, add that to the list of possible SciFi tech that could balance the Empire’s gravity tech, along
    with FTL and one I’ve mentioned before, Star Trek level replicator technology. You wouldn’t even have to have
    that one to the same degree, just the ability to change matter to energy momentarily and back into matter, but
    different elements. No more need to mine, your trash becomes your source of whatever raw materials you need,
    and if you carefully engineer the exchange to be slightly exothermic, an energy source that is cleaner than fission.

      Matter conversion is a tricky and costly practice Star Trek can do it because they solved the energy needs
      once they had warp drive and started the federation it allowed them access to tech from the other members
      it became easier. Grav tech is a step in the right direction it solves a major problem in our current space travel
      in RL the human body simply doesn’t function well in mircogravity. Using conversion to create energy has a
      huge problem the energy needed to start it is as much if not more so little return there. Plus the break down
      of atoms can be very explosive lol.
      Don’t forget the dragonflys are telepathic and can teleport without being visible that alone has proven helpful
      many times already http://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-806/ just to name one and don’t forget Dagger showed
      a doctor his face as a cheeseburger once LOL! Oh the mayhem they could cause on an unsuspecting ship LOL!

        I’m assuming conservation of baryon count is a given, which means no complete mass-energy conversion, at least longer
        than the Heisenberg principle would allow. The ‘careful engineering’ comes in by choosing output atoms very close to the
        input atoms in atomic mass so that you DON’T have the massive energy release of a fission reaction, or hydrogen to helium
        fusion for that matter. The reaction C14 -> N14 releases energy, but much less and the energy-per-baryon slope in the
        vicinity of iron is even lower. Yes, it would take enormous energy to force such conversions by any means we know now,
        but so would generating a gravity field. This is a science fiction world.

        On a lighter note, I constantly tell my kids they LIVE in a science fiction world already. Nuclear weapons, pocket
        communicators, rail guns, interplanetary communication (right now with a world completely inhabited by robots), gene
        editing, cloning, and on and on.

          LOL I hear that your talking to a guy that’s been talking on a corded wall phone while watching BL/W TV with tin foil
          flags on the rabbit ears while in a heated discussion about 8-Track tapes over cassette tapes AND how little I cared
          about the Beatles breaking up… I had to practice Abby Road in school choir I STILL can’t stand to hear that song lmbo.

          Here’s a thought about PC’s FTL bomb shell:
          artificial wormholes, short lived and power hungry to create but if you have 3 or more dreadnoughts open up wormholes
          on the outskirts of a system and take a few minutes to recover and drive in fast from several points the defending system
          won’t know where to go to meet them plus having wave after wave come in that way you could overwhelm any planetary
          defense system.

            Artificial wormholes?
            Shades of B5 “jump gates”!

    It’s on me I had the impression that Tenshi was the elder sister PC you don’t seem to ever show your hand until you yell GIN LOL!
    But it’s what I love about this strip 🙂
