quantum locking? if the green material could be made superconductive on command, wait until the magnetic field has pierced the material, make it superconductive, boom, not going ANYWHERE.
this is the part when the lander flips over and falls to the ground and explodes in a michael bay-esque fashion(after galina gets out in a super slow motion way)?
Though it is possible that the lander and the alien ship are not insured. Sucks to be them!
On a more serious note, the ship is large enough to generate mild gravity and the Black hole it used to pull itself through space may provide a more notable gravity on its own. Or the ship could simply have artificial gravity on the grate extensions in the docking bay so the workers won't float away by surprise.
from what i see i don't think the ship is touching anything that could give it stability, only one leg is touching the platform, while the others seem to be floating, and the ship is only being stable by the rcs.
The back leg might be touching, Deo. Still that arrangement should fall over, I think. There isn't enough to keep it upright. So something else is going on. Maybe an invisible platform? Or could it be green space ants, some nano-bots that are forming a pillar for supporting her parking job?
Maybe we will find out. Knowing the evil duo though, they will just leave us wondering.
Ignoring the theoretically beneficial green ants,
I see three legs landed, two to the side of the lander and one on the center on the lander.
I hope the door is on the correct side for her to get to the platform w/o tipping the lander over...
In all seriousness, blame my shitty writing. I was focusing so hard on pacing the dialogue that would tie in properly to the next few pages that I failed to account for visual timing. The image shows the lander just starting to touch down, but the dialogue needed to convey certain information that would only become apparent after it came to rest. In retrospect, I really should go back and re-do this page and the following one to fix the problem.
( one of the things that got missed ( in my protoscript here ) _ was that Galina touched one pad to the gantry and her ship just stabilized .. shes a bit confused as well.. it shouldn't be this stable bu8t it is.. and yeah the "claw" is another ship in the background .. So its as much my fault as anyone elses.. :D
Yes but on Space:1999, the moon left orbit of Earth and somehow, people actually survived on Earth (and the moon, for that matter!), so I think the science on Space:1999 is suspect. XD
Space:1999 - Laughable premise, interesting execution. But isn't that kind of a 1970s television mantra anyway?
I was probably 9 when Space:1999 hit. I remember watch the first episode, going, "Nuclear explosions would not knock the moon out of orbit." And, "If it is going critical, you don't have time to spread out the fuel--but if you DO have time, it WILL work." 9.
Hmmm. Maybeee I am seeing too much into your maybe, but if there is some association to a cathedral, I find it hard to accept that it would be universal. So, if I go further with this observation, then there is a connection to our past when cathedrals played a major role in our history. Maybe these aliens were observing our past around the first millinieum and liked what they say in some of the architectural designs. We continually reinvent past fashion to make it new. I could say they were here before and abducted someone who influenced this but that just feels too obvious, convenient.
I don't think so, Grismagistus. I think it is a perspective thing. I think the 'claw' is in the background, but from the viewpoint we are given we can't tell how far apart they are.

Galina : what? *boom!*

Game over!
