Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Nice way to show that Miko is human and has her limits. On first introduction, she and Targeter in particular seemed super-competent and unshakeable. As time has gone by, they’ve gained more dimensionality and showed believable flaws.
Agreed. The very bizarreness of Miko having a meltdown points to them as super-competent.
But yeah. Day after day of spending life in a “make a wrong move and everybody with you (including you) could burn down to a skeleton” bubble has got to get to anybody.
I once spent 2 weeks in a sealed NBCD suit as part of a Navy exercise…
Need a pee? 2 hour de-contam. Use the baggie instead.
Food? 2 hour de-contam. Suck from the fluid pump, and chew suit rations.
Shower? Forget it.
Eventually most of us figured the actual test was ‘how long can someone go without freaking in an NBCD suit… instead of the advertised ‘decontam a small island’ scenario we’d been given…
Getting out of that suit was the most awful (think smelly) yet delightful (thin being able to scratch your own ass) experience.

Would I do it again? Hell no.
