…. and that’s it for the rec area for this chapter. Now maybe you can see why I was all “MOOOOOOOM! I DON’T WAAAAAANAAAAA!!!! when it came to modeling the thing – six weeks of work for eleven or so days of production. There’s a reason Print Comics are light on 3d (and on backgrounds in general). Four pages remaining – two panels of the next are done and now that this page is off of the priority list I can concentrate on the first panel of 3.1.40, which I’ll need to complete 3.1.39.

This is the last we’ll be seeing of the Daedalus crew and passengers until early into Water, which I’ll hopefully be starting in September or October.

In terms of Actual Plot, this is the last page of the chapter – the next page is pretty and the three pages after that are seedlings that serve to link TV.1 and The Dualist to where things are going. Think the interstitial bits at the end of The Dualist, only with actual relevance.
