Raharrs on average are stronger than humans, and that's before you account for various military augmentations.
Poll: Flashbacks?
Thinking about some ways to bring in more exotic worldbuilding to the comic without making yet another infodump. How'd you guys like a flashback sequence for one of the main characters? Whose's past you'd like to witness if any? Tell in the comments!

Do not shoot to kill (two O's in shoot)
Alright, some of my predictions came to pass. Now the question on this cliffhanger is what sight greets her to stun her to a stop, if brief.
I'm curious what the 'object' is. Just the spacecraft, or some particular subcomponents?
Darth, ya have me hooked for more.
I think object refers to the place they're at
Russians seem to have a habit of using object as a general term for places and things.
So a more correct read would be "lock down the base?" Could work in a sentence.
I'd use "site"
Yeah, that's definitely better.
That would be my take on it...
Kinda of the opinion of a fourth option to the poll, of ambivalence. I don't despise them, but given they fit in as an aside minor arc, or relevant to the characters at hand, they can work.
Cast in favor, lacking other options. I'm a sucker for worldbuilding info.
The design of these space travelers is excellent. I'd be quite interested in how their civilizations developed, how they function and how the Alliance was formed. Maybe the female alien and the Major can begin communicating and understand each other. Fortunately, neither seem to be too heavy handed and relatively reasonable.
Well, she definitely lifts.
hostages people care about are bulletproof armor
I don't think he's actually worried about himself (at least not primarily). Considering what he said before, he would likely be quite willing to die for the chance to prevent a war with the aliens with such vastly advanced tech and capabilities.
It's not about not shooting him, it's about not shooting HER.
