The animal ag team is very annoyed that some mystery person keeps leaving food gifts in their eggs fridge.
Edit: Gave Talita more phone battery. The asset was reused from Gillie's phone and I forgot to change it. Talita is more responsible than her.

I still don't know what to call these guys that Talita eats. Guinea bugs? Butterfly shrimp? Maybe I should bother making up a Shess language word for them.
Edit: What if guineapilars and guineaflies

Centaur laughter is derived from a panting response like human laughter, but is a lot less frantic and resembles hiccups more in speed. The laugh involves the first step of their breathing cycle, where air exits the lower lungs and enters the upper air sac, compressing the lower abdomen and expanding the upper one. As a part of the inhalation motion they reflexively jerk their nose upwards. The...

Deuterium is hydrogen with a freeloader neutron in its nucleus, making it about twice as heavy as a regular hydrogen. So heavy water, is, in fact, slightly heavier water.
Also, Dirtball's icecap wasn't pure heavy water. As in, not all of its water molecules contained deuterium, it just had an unusually high percentage. For perspective, Earth's oceans have about one atom of deuterium in ev...

Holy fuck, I am so immeasurably glad to be finally starting this chapter. Sorry it's been so long, I had to research hydrogen production plants and then make a massive 3D model of this set (even though the scene is pretty brief lmao rip) which you'll be getting a much better look at on the next page. I'm excited for this chapter, it's my second favorite.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. HI. I'M BACK.
I've been working on comic pages, but unfortunately mostly on the easy last half of chapter 6 (conversation in an apartment) and not the difficult first half (new locations, vehicles, exosuits, etc). I'm posting them in chronological order though so that's unhelpful for speedy updates.
There's one more log page, about the electrician worm rob...

Babylita keychains and Bip pins! The Bip pins are already ordered, they will be UV printed on cobalt blue pantone dyed metal. I think they will look cool, I wanted to do a design that wouldn't have worked well with an enamel fill pin. The double-sided keychain I need to finish drawing, but I'm pretty satisfied with the current concept. The "it's a girl!" side will have glitter epoxy, since tech...

Here's a poll to gauge interest, feel free to vote for more than one. Gillie and Idrisah are batched because although I love Idrisah dearly, I know most of y...

Oh, Talita...
That's the end of Chapter 5 (minus the Log pages) so I'm gonna be taking another 3-ish week break. I'm gonna be at Small Press Expo during that time so come say hi if you're in the Maryland/DC area on the weekend of the 14th-15th.

I was worrying about how Gillie wouldn't be able to realtime call the wormhole people (lightspeed comm lag was something I failed to account for in the original draft of the book) then I realized she probably could, because if they're stationed at a hub wormhole then the lag would only be as long as it takes light to reach Dirtball's high orbit. Meanwhile, it took about the length of that conve...

(Turns to my Patreon audience, the most dedicated RttS fans on the internet) So have y'all heard about centaur clans?
Lmao anyways. This book is written with the expectation that most readers will be completely unfamiliar with setting, which is a good thing, but I do feel silly sometimes writing entry-level lore exposition and then presenting it to Patreon like half of you haven'...

I kind of agonized about panel two's background but I think the extremely tourist-flavored phrase guide gets the point across. Now I need to find a proofreader to doublecheck my Arabic handwriting.

A video forum is the long distance version of a video conference, and is in some ways closer to a group chat or email chain. It will group local people into live video calls but also allow them to record video chunks and attach them to a reply chain. This works better than "live" calls for groups of people over a couple minutes of lightspeed lag from each other.
