Mister Dilsby Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 !!!! Whooo! 'Artie' for Artifact? Whatever. This is awesome. Great effect showing Jeb and Artie at all the simultaneous locations of Artie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smjjames Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) I grinned when I saw the third panel because I recognized that as a scene straight out of 2001: A Space Odessey. As for the first time-traveller, are we talking about Glery....... or someone else before that?- - - Updated - - -!!!! Whooo! 'Artie' for Artifact? Whatever. This is awesome. Great effect showing Jeb and Artie at all the simultaneous locations of Artie.I see Jool twice, so there are two at Jool, and the last panel seems to maybe be in deep deep space, further than Eeloo.

Noname117 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Well, this just got a bit interesting. I like the picture of Spore thrown in there; the tiny cell-stage kraken just makes the picture. Anyways, nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I just realized a min ago that the first green panel may actually be Kerbin.I'm curious as to how you'll make the artifact for Eve because theres no ingame easter egg to stand in for an artifact on Eve.I suppose you could borrow something from a mod as a standin.

Starhawk Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Very nice stuff, Parkaboy!Nice exposition with the dialogue between Jeb and Artie.The tablet joke was very funny.Happy landings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Someone who has been busy communicating with her past self and actually deliberately changing the course of history, perhaps? Except that future Phoice came after Glery, so, unless there are two separate alternate Phoices (that would make a hell of a paradox), it has to be someone else. However, the one they seem to implicate, Stelrine, also has a future time travelling clone, so, it's probably someone else, who has yet (or maybe never will) to appear as an alternate-future clone.

Noname117 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Someone else. Glery arrived after the first couple of rifts.Now I'm really interested, since it would've had to happen the day the monolith appeared, which coincided with their first launch...

Parkaboy Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) Now I'm really interested, since it would've had to happen the day the monolith appeared, which coincided with their first launch...Not necessarily. The day of the first launch was the day Artie decided to contact the kerbals. So the mystery visitor could have arrived any time before that.Someone who has been busy communicating with her past self and actually deliberately changing the course of history, perhaps? Phoice is probably just an opportunist. Edited September 18, 2015 by Parkaboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thegamer211 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 RIP kerbal universe #0455000-003You will be forever remembered for your anomalies.Jokes aside, I can't wait for more chapters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noname117 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 This is so epic. I love the monolith dialogue and the spore reference.To be perfectly honest, Parkaboy is probably the most qualified person on the Kerbal Forums to make a Spore reference. To say he's famous there would be an understatement (Also, several people in that community are demanding your return, Parkaboy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To say he's famous there would be an understatement (Also, several people in that community are demanding your return, Parkaboy).Really? I haven't played Spore in years, I just didn't enjoy playing it anymore. I was also very disappointed by the lack of support and the fact that EA dissolved the studio and let go many of the developers. But lately I have been getting an itch to play again. Maybe I'll dig up my dvd and reinstall the game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Zoom Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 I'm one of the fans who knew you first through Spore, though I've not played it recently either...Loved seeing it in this last post, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 You know... Parkaboy, were you on the GamingSteve Spore forums? I think I vaguely remember a Parkaboy from there, or maybe we were in different forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, enough remniscing, on with the comic!Derailing the program from the course that the two scientists are on is going to be a major split in the time continuum.
