I see a stealth insertion of a Raharr Military team and a pitched corner to corner Regolith-tunnel battle in the near future. Also Nea as point and back in the saddle. Good for her, think she needs to let of some steam! =)

That's assuming that there are tunnels along the conduits; regolith is a rather loose material, somewhat like sand here on Earth. Plans for (human) moon bases that include using regolith as a building material have it mixed with cement or the like to make it suitable in the first place.

Also, I'd guess that, steam or not, Nea is tactically-thinking enough to start digging in right at the center instead.

But but, no pitched battle in Semi-darkness is NOT hollywood material..

Why, she could then just walk up to the front door and chime the bell saying

"You are Nicked".

Well, I suppose we could have her fight her way OUT of her OWN place-in-space instead ...

Radiators? So effectively this area is just a giant heat sink designed to spread the dispated head of whatever is running there, over an area of several square kilometers so its barely more heat than the rest of the surface and whatever its disipating the heat from is completley invisible to their sensors.

I'm guessing this isn't something the "Ghosts" would have tried with a much more advanced species, so if it really is the "Gosts" then the Alliance really has caught them unprepared for a fully space faring race.

Check that first panel again - it seems tailor-made to abuse the filter for "phantom marks" that come from signal noise, as discussed in the last 2 pages.

Not pictured: Zane or others asking very pointed questions to the Raharr/Alliance scientists about their protocols of collecting and analyzing data ...

With intrusion into the human computer networks, I'd certainly be questioning if the same has happened to the Alliance ones and ordering a deep and detailed analysis of the code behind the sensor filters.

Oh my sweet innocent summer child ...

It's not just the filters, but practically every part of Alliance computing gonna get a thorough audit. The nerds gonna watch code 'til their eyes bleed ...

Damn. If the last panel of the previous page was the full image of anomaly, and was not followed by the three others, it would be a absolute cinema transition.

The plot thickens... 👀

TRIVIA
If a spaceship accelerates at the same rate as it would in a free-fall under Earth's gravity (Otherwise known as "1G acceleration"), it can reach Jupiter from Earth in just under 6 days. It would need to flip in the middle of the travel, to start decelerating and enter the planet's orbit.
