Bip has a lot to grieve.

And Chapter 3 is done. I'll be taking a break from RttS pages to catch up with other art for the next month or so. After that, it's all new pages that I haven't shared roughs of to Patreon before.

Massive congrats on finishing chapter 3! This has been one of my favorite pages since I saw it for the first time in sketch form. Such a huge and sudden change in mood, as well as us alongside Talita having to figure out the implications of what it means, and the dread that sits in. So good.

Congratulations! Enjoy the much deserved break. Thank you for your incredible work, seeing your work always makes me want to draw.

Congratulations on finishing the chapter

You did a remarkable job at finishing the chapter right before the year's end. You should feel proud of yourself. With so much work put into this you should take as much rest as you need. I look forward to both your 2024 artwork and the eventual continuation of the comic. Have a good new year.

Happy new year! Everybody's dead.

Is space travel still very dangerous? When accidents happen how do any survivors get help if the ships around them don't have the propellant needed to get them? Do people usually not travel because of this?

I can't imagine being a sapient AI capable of super-computer computation, especially one with emotions and deep interpersonal relationships with organic sapient beings that can, in mere moments, cease to exist. Among those few seconds of computation, just before the power buses fail, one of those computations being the absolute certainty in all the statistical facts of the matter, that your crew will have certainly perished with no hope of survival. I guess the only silver lining about the whole thing would be the fact that you can simply erase those memories, as if it never happened, but that would itself be distressing

Do AIs experience similar deleterious effects under isolation to those that bug ferrets do? I can't help but think how lonely they must have been before Talita found those phones. Going from a family of ten to floating alone in the void of space, losing contact with much of your memories and brainpower over time... even if it was temporary, Bip's been through a lot.

Ah yes the horrors of space travel, decompression incidents, and broken halls, it likely happened so quick that attempting to make it to the emergency boat was practically impossible I love it, it's been such a delight to see this comic come to fruition especially after watching you so long and seeing all the growth with the designs and characters and the world I know the previous owners of the runaway are important but not like super duper important (not to mention you taking a break!) But have you any ideas or concepts for the previous occupants~ Happy new year can't wait to see what you make!

Oof, what a gut punch 😭😭😭. I don't know if there are significant differences in how AI react, at least in the short term, to catastrophic trauma and loss, to other sentient social beings, but even knowing the statistics associated with the damage, I can imagine Bip holding on to the smallest thread of hope, in the absence of knowing. Also, the composition of these three panels is briliant. it's such a lovely use of a double page spread, and so quietly striking, for Talita to have the realization of what Bip is really asking, while we see the vastness of space reveal itself behind her, both as the wonderous, unending potential she has an opportunity to run toward, and the vast, cold danger she has been reminded that it can be. Not to mention all the conflicting feelings she is likely feeling about seeing the vibrant remnants of a culture she herself originated from, but has little actual connection to, either materially or emotionally. There is so much going on in the dilation of pupils and a simple lift of the head. Well done, Jay!
