Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Winston is learning a important lesson here:
Never introduce your girlfriend to your family."If it lives it can be killed.
If it is dead it can be eaten."

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
You know I kind of want Winston and Florence to visit Dr. Bowman next. Spread the crazy ´round a bit.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Given Winston's job, I suspect he and Dr Bowman could have a long, enjoyable conversation on the ins and outs of biohacking your planet.
Yeesh. The psycho chimp is a better potential in-law than the Thurmads.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
For today's comic, I am reminded of Artie's exclamation in the last comic of this Narbonic week.

And now the engineer starts to display her knowledge on how to use leverage to reroute a train (of thought).

So that's why we're so ****ed up.
Good to know. Maybe I should consider chemical castration after all.Yes, I am slightly egomaniac. Why didn't you ask?

Yeah, Gregor, you won't live that long. We've been wrestling with that one for at least four thousand years.

Given what we've seen of Bill Raibert, I think it's less apathy and more doesn't-have-a-free-microsecond.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
I though the guy nominally in charge of the base in the south pole was also allowed to give her orders?

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Yeah. It's a little scary sometimes how smart Florence is. Imagine that with somebody who doesn't have a disposition so sunny it can ripen tomatoes.

Okay, Florence gets a laugh point. Good thing I was alone right then.

Little blep!
I'm pretty much the opposite of concise. If I fail to get to the point, please ask me and I'm happy to (attempt to) clarify.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Well, I was really hoping that it'd be a new type of problem, such as a liquidity crisis, but it does seem it might be a retread of "upper management are morons": a pump repair shop that tried to outsource pump repairs. Bit of a disappointment, if so. I appreciate it is an easy target, but it will be a bit repetitive.

Yeah, we're cycling all the way back to when Sam rescued Kornada during the hurricane and learned the corporate motto of 'always screw the contractor by withholding payment'.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
With the lead-in of 'forget our workers, we'll save money'.
Periodic maintenance is easier than replacement. Incentive - a little time spent now means they don't have to work as hard later.
Since they no longer have to worry about the 'later' part... who cares about the 'now' part?May you get EXACTLY what you wish for.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Well its even worse? The workers were told the pumps were no longer their concern.
And it does seem like either a case of incompetence. Or Malice.
Where attempting to cut cost makes it all fall apart.
Question is if its deliberate or just because the manager is all theory no experience.thnx to Starwoof for the fine avatar

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
New comic. Hmm, now I'm wondering where the moon comes in to this.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
This space station was probably a base of operations for the engineers that were installing thrusters on the selected asteroid, or something. If so, they probably provided a significant influx of cash that is now gone.
Somewhat relatedly, I have this vague idea that there were supposed to be two moons, and Florence re-did the math? It was ages ago, and the comic had a graphic to explain that two moons don't have the same mass as a single one with the same total diameter. Anyone remember where that was? I think it explained why Florence is independently wealthy.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
I do remember something like Florence getting a reward for submitting an alternate trajectory that would save them money.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
I don't remember the specifics, although I know it was something she did at Winston's after he stitched up her leg during the hurricane.

Re: Freefall 3: Death Ray Byproducts
Thank you so much.
I've no idea what is involved in moving moons around at their tech level, but I stand by my speculation that it involved a certain amount of manpower, which provided an influx of money to the station, and when that phase of the process was complete, the station found itself in hard times - possibly triggering the manager's "save money at all costs, even if the costs are higher than the savings" actions.
