And he's alone out there...
I'm a little curious why she thinks of Gharr as "that idiot". Zane knows that Gharr did something deeply idiotic on this mission, but Nea has no idea about that. Did she just find him annoying during the flight from Jupiter to Earth?
trying so hard [] to [communicate] with me
It's sort of universal law that grunts look down on scientists, no? =) He's an idiot because he's obviously miscalculated something, given their current situation.
Huh. Disqus believes this comment to be "toxic".
It contains the words "scientists", "idiot" and "obviously". Clearly it's part of a flame war.
So, the question is now: "ensure his safety" by trying to help the people who have her in custody, or keep "no talking" cranked up to 11? What are the practical applications of her revelation?
Unrelated note: that font with the built-in white border really looks nice on the whole, but adding a little extra white in a few places seems like a very good idea. A particularly good example would be the first chunk of text in the third panel, where the comma looks like it's some kind of funky semicolon or something, or maybe it's an asterisk with a note at the bottom of the page, or... It's usually great, but there are occasions where it just ends up looking funny.
I think she'll take one of the options that isn't keeping quiet. That may not mean she starts talking, but it does mean she will be inclined to action.
Oh, that's rather delicious. Her understanding of the Directives is that she has to keep quiet, but her mission orders require her to break that rule in order to retrieve the guy who will absolutely break that rule.
Looks like there are multiple reasons for her grouchy face on the chapter cover.
