Jarrah's Uplink

This is the third (or forth, depending on how you look at it) version of this I did. The first two were quite different, but I didn't like the perspective, so I made another one... which nearly made me late for the upload. Then I had a problem: I couldn't decide if I should have a flashy bit in the middle of the bootgate or not. I was tempted to make a .gif. but the down side was the image was sodding huge. So, I put the flash-less version up. But you can find the static flash version and the animated gif lurking behind these links

The following is useless background information. If you're not into that kind of thing, just skip to the comic link at the bottom.

Morrisey Waystation is one of many around United Humanity space. It services passing ships with hydrogen fuel skimmed from the gas giant you can see on the left, foodstuffs grown in hydroponic vats on the station, and occasionally sells shipments of raw materials mined from the neighbouring moons by an automated mining system. The station is home to just under 1000 people, mostly humans. The round thing is called a Bootgate, and I'll explain all about that in a week or three. Hey, I gotta give you a reason to come back and read this, don't I?

Also, this is a bit of affirmative action against the old trope that starships always have to be depicted "right-side-up" in relation to the veiwers (unless of course the ship is damaged, in which case it may list to the side a little bit).

John's Uplink

Note from Jarrah: John didn't have anything to say this week. I'll pester him for something more lengthy next week.
