Unity: Sound-scent synaesthesia (2007/04/16)

Juni: No, of course I figured a ship of this size would already have that sort of thing taken care of. I'm just feeling so useless now.
Sam: You're not useless. You just need some time off.
Sam: How do you hear those things anyway? The outer cloth is a few kilometers down, right?
Juni: I guess I'm just attuned to it. It has a very distinct scent.
Sam: Scent?
Juni: Sure, you know how certain sounds make different smells?
Sam: No, I can't say that's very familiar.

Unity: Is it safe? (2007/04/18)

Juni: [[Building a sand hill]] So you were saying what I do, before we were interrupted back at the restaurant.
Sam: Mm, right. You're one of an octet of scientists working for Tamu Haring, who ensures that Unity is on course and all its occupants are safe.
Sam: You don't talk about your job much, but as I understand it you mostly deal with how it all works together. So you coordinate the others, with Tamu making the final decisions.
Juni: So the other seven scientists... do they have...
Sam: No, most of them don't have an agent. You're just generally paranoid.

Unity: Not really (2007/04/20)

Juni: "Not really?" What about this "incident" I've heard so little about?
Sam: A full investigation is underway.
Juni: And? What do you know so far about it?
Sam: I can't tell you. The entire investigation is confidential.
Juni: Even to me?
Sam: *Especially* to you.
Juni: Well that's a bit off-putting. Can you at least give me a little hint?
Sam: Please, Juni. Just drop it.
Juni: And you wonder why I'm paranoid.
Sam: No, not really.

2007/04/20: That was close

This latest comic came down to the wire for lateness (and I even had a run-in with Photoshop crashing and me losing all the coloring). Not that it really matters or anything.

2007/04/16: Jeeze, that's a tiny buffer

I've been busy lately. Just not with the comic.
