Transcript

show

• Taneel: [off-screen] OK people, listen up: We'll be on the Veetan homeworld in 20 minutes.
• Taneel: I want your gravity belts on at all times. This planet is denser than my great aunt Gertie... And if you take that belt off, your lumbar region crunches into a lumber region.
• Skitter: Two bad zingers in one announcement. Nice work.
• Taneel: Bottom line: Veetans may be able to schrug off their massive gravity like it's nuthin' - but we can't.
• Skitter: Dang! Your people must be wicked strong.
• Nosh: We are pacifists, so "strong" is not a word we focus on.
• Nosh: But by your standardings, yes: I am pretty strong.
• Nosh: ... I could squash a grape like a grape!
• [Nosh stares into void in sudden realisation]
• Nosh: ... Is not best use of that saying, I think.

Trivia

• This is the first time Taneel's dense great aunt Gertie is mentioned.
• This is the first time gravity belts are mentioned in the comic. Neat. Where can I get one?
