No joke, I googled “worst Star Trek technobabble” and filled in the blanks in this comic’s script with the results.

So… I’m annoyed a bit by the way this page looks. As originally conceived, this “gap” between the normal sections of the station was going to be a lot bigger. Well, taller and deeper, anyway. It was going to be a narrow ledge along the middle of a sort of metal canyon (if you’re into the Star Wars expanded universe, then think the sort of thing you’d see in Nar Shaddaa) Buuuuuuut, if the past 600+ pages demonstrate anything, it’s that I’m better at drawing characters than exotic locations, so I just couldn’t get the effect right. As a result, we get just another hall that’s slightly more cluttered with glowy things than most. It serves the purpose of the story, and that’s what really matters, but I still with I could have pulled off the original idea.

Also, is it clear that Avatar’s in the Glowing Tube of Fatal Glowing Stuff because she knows Trigger wouldn’t appreciate her spying on his alone time with Skye? (Skye probably wouldn’t want anyone watching her work either, but it’s not like Avatar doesn’t already know what she does) It seemed obvious enough to me when I drew it, but just now I’m struck with the fear that others might not get it right away. Honestly, the only reason she’s following THIS way instead of just quietly walking down the hall a few steps behind like a normal person is ‘cos she hasn’t done anything “indestructible” lately. Gotta keep these plot points fresh or they’ll go bad and you can’t use ’em any more.

(Historical Notes: Readers picked up on an additional interpretation for Avatar spying on Trigger on is “date” with Skye… one that flagrantly disregarded the fact that she’s permanently prepubescent and not interested in boys whatsoever.)
