Hiya gang. Slowly grinding back into the comics production mode. This is one of the inter-chapter lore dump pages, this time explaining what tailed spacers are and featuring the "orbital grandma polycule," as some people on Dirtball call them. Tailers are unisex and tend to play it pretty fast and loose with gendered terms. Although if you asked some of them they wouldn't self-identify as grandmas, they mostly find the nickname amusing.

Ooh, interesting how the four of them display the range of hairlines tailers have!

Absolutely love the lack of gendered clothing in regards to their gender identity. Making Paul dress "effeminate" with he/him pronouns is a really useful visual way to show how Tailers approach gender and presentation. (Same for Tyler falling more on the butch end of the spectrum) great job! Paul makes me feel very seen haha.

I can't stop murmuring Orbital Station Grandma Polycule to tune of TMNT

Out of curiosity, did these four get together *before* they started working together, or did they start dating after becoming coworkers?

Tyler's microgravity earrings are so fucking inspired, also I bet they all have some MEAN grandma-style recipes tailored for microgravity too... space grandma polycule's homemade lasagna, anyone??

If I can ask, why hasn't robotics technology advanced to the point of making efforts to genetically engineer humans for certain tasks obsolete? Why not have dirtball be a few robots recycling scrap? Even if Nedebug descended AI must be paid for their work, it should be cheaper than maintaining a crew of biological beings.
