Runaway to the Stars: Page 153

A video forum is the long distance version of a video conference, and is in some ways closer to a group chat or email chain. It will group local people into live video calls but also allow them to record video chunks and attach them to a reply chain. This works better than "live" calls for groups of people over a couple minutes of lightspeed lag from each other.

I love how you've fleshed out how the internet and data logistics of your world works. Its just all these tiny details that would normally be left unexplained in other settings that makes your world feel so much more alive and tangible.

I was wondering why talita didn’t mention the fact that the renovation will be pointless since shes leaving with bip, but then i realized shes probably not ready for that leap yet. right now the three of them are just committing felonies together to help bip leave, they havent come to the decision to go with them yet. cant wait for that realization to set in :)

i adore talitas facial expression in the first panel omg (also i think the second to last panel has a typo. "you have to have to tell people")

They use wormhole switchboards to communicate but those are fitted on the same structure as the ship transit wormhole generator because of their power requirements, specialized equipment, and their collapse risks. So communication is mostly limited by light speed, since the data travels to and from the wormhole via laser.

I'm assuming they can't just have a network of micro-wormholes that allow for FTL communication no matter were you are.

Don't worry, Talita, you'll be surprised when the new Centaur crew moves in!

Yep, Chapter 2, when she was getting ready for the party. I can’t speak for Idrisah, but the hijabis I know leave their headscarves off if they’re at home or in an all-girl space.

I didn’t even notice the laptop said video forum! Interdasting

Have we seen Idrisah with her head uncovered before? I'm not sure of her cultural preferences.

Something tells me Idrisah’s going to have to eat her own words in the call to her mom…
