We know from Firefly that most civillian firearms can't penetrate a hull designed to prevent damage from micrometorites ("..even Vera.").

Kari looks awefully dang cute when she's handed the pistol.

Thanks for bringing the plight to the world's attention, David.

'It's ripped my heart out, my life and soul'
Heart-breaking stories of survival and loss are emerging from Victoria where ferocious bushfires have destroyed 640 homes and killed at least 160 people.

The Bushfires are really bad right now.
While my house is not immediately in danger, a town about 45 minutes from me was engulfed and lots of buildings were burned down.

The temperature got up to 47C yesterday (that's 117F).

Fortunately it's going to be in the low 20's the rest of the week (about 75F).

Man, I really wish the comic was updated more than once a week. The story's is getting so awesome the suspense is killing me!

[skythorn]

hope your health insurance can cover that ...

Hey, what are the mark on the right airlock door? Do they represent the number of time they boarded another ship? Anyway, its a nice detail that add life to the ship, it remind us that this ship is old and rusty. I want more of these!

And how can a military formed person (kari) never used a pistol?

Who said "never"? She's had basic training and is certainly a better shot than Dan, but isn't an expert marksmen and feels awkward wielding firearms.

And what about the mark on the right airlock door ? Don't try to hide your secrets from us!

There's something odd about Hal's gun in frame 1. The stock seems out of proportions with the rest of the gun.

[altasilvapuer]

Actually, it looks to me like a normal-length stock. You're probably mistaking the vertical frame line halfway down the stock for the beginning of it.

Personally, I really like the design. It feels mildly futuristic, but still has definite ties to Earth.

On the note of guns, though: Hal doesn't get his sniper rifle this time? Sadness.

Look closely, it's the same rifle. The bipod isn't deployed.
