XRia: This is a bad idea.
Travis: You can go anywhere you like on base, you know. And it's not doing you any good hiding in your room all the time.
Ria: I don't like people staring at the freak.
Travis: No one's staring at you. I'm sorry there aren't any Sunlanders on base right now, but Kieselburg's a Yellow Band for them. They mostly opt for postings in Green or Red.
Ria: There are Sunlanders in the Blues?
Travis: Of course.
Ria: They work with -- with you people? Don't they have their own company or something?
Travis: Why would we do that? Look, the whole world is not like Kieselburg. There's a lot of opportunities open to you.
Ria: Opportunities.
Travis: Sure.
Ria: For a backwater teenager.
Travis: ... Kieselburg isn't that --
Ria: With no fancy schooling. With no experience. With a halfblood kid in tow.
Travis: ...yes!
Travis: Longer minute!
Travis: Uh -- give me a minute...
Ria: This stuff really don't pass through your brain before it hits your mouth, does it?

The year is 2007. Elizabeth Barnabas keeps house for her private detective brother: a respectable woman even in the staid Anglo-Scottish Republic. Except Elizabeth doesn't have a brother....

Yellow Band: the Imperial safety ratings system, indicating how generally bad conditions are for someone of a given gender, race, orienation, et cetera. IAF personell posting to areas that are not green is strictly opt-in, and the fanatics, as Travis indicates, tend to head for the worst areas.
Despite a long period of resistance, I've finally joined Facebook (it was for work purposes, okay?) and since I was on it anyway I went ahead and made a fan page for the comic. If enough people show interest in it I may even do stuff like post commentary or panel detail or other things that don't really seem to have a place on the main comic, so if that interests you, sign up. At the moment, though, I'm my only fan, so posting extras for me seems rather... sad.
