Grrl Power #1399 - When offers of pampered luxury raised its ugly head... (Patreon)

Thank you for the support! You guys and grrls are awesome!

I probably could have left this page to the imagination, but uh... I didn't.

Max hasn't been in a lot of situations where she has to run away from a situation. I mean, she doesn't have to run away, but it would be pretty ridiculous for her to beat up a mob of overly enthusiastic munchkin mole-wolf things. Of course, Max understands a tactical retreat. Though like this time, nearly all of her retreats are diplomatic retreats. You know, the kind that don't escalate a situation. Womping a bunch of shorties would definitely be off-mission.

It would make tomorrow's Fracture Station Gazette. Probably not the front page. It's largely a trade publication, featuring big shipments coming in and going for sale in the many, many bazaars on the station. Also there's a section for Station politics, galactic politics, sports... like a huge sports section, because there are so many sports across all the races. Also the comic strip section is humongous and 90% of them make no sense to 90% of the population because a lot of humor is pretty culturally dependent. Slapstick and fart jokes are the closest things to universal humor there is, even if a lot of races are super verklempt about bodily functions.

Then there's the culture section. There's a lot of cultural festivals. There's a "New Year's" celebration almost every day somewhere on the station, because there's so many races there and everyone's homeworld orbits are not synchronized. 

And don't forget the personal's section. "Hey, saw you looking weird at the Zimblim New Year's party with too many orifices in your head, but I was into it. I was the tall cyclops at the psychic's table foretelling everyone's death. Hit me up on FractureNet." 

Stuff like that. What I'm saying is that The Fracture Station Gazette is like eight inches thick and is physically impossible to neatly fold. Or it would be if it wasn't distributed electronically, because printing 80 million of those every week would be a ridiculous waste of paper.
