After like almost 6 months they've finally reached the Impulse Field Regulator :P I have for a while now had a script written out for most of the rest of Guzcomic... but it's gonna be a lot of pretty complicated artwork from here on out. Here's hoping I can power through!

Begin Image ID.

Page one. Two panel comic. Panel 1: Guz and Rutherford in the Jeffries Tubes. They have a dull, bored expression. Guz says, "OK. We're here. Impulse Field Regulator in Impulse Deck Starboard Beta-3. Panel 2: Same shot, but the door has opened offscreen to reveal a striking red glow which casts shadows on the wall of the Jeffries Tube. Guz and Rutherford are now shocked. Rutherford says "What the Heck?" and Guz says, in large green gooey letters, "WHAT?"

Page two. Four panel comic. Panel 1: Looking down the impulse engine deck. The impulse engine is comprised of two spherical fusion reactors, a set of warp coils, and a rocket engine-like nozzle. Through large windows we can see the adjacent impulse engines. Various pipes seem to be glowing red-hot, and there's electrical sparks and arcing, and a strange floating loop of clear fluid or water is arching over the impulse engine. Rutherford and Guz look down the deck, we see the back of their heads. Panel 2: Rutherford is climbing down the ladder to find that the floor of the deck is waterlogged. Guz is climbing down, but upside down, above him. Panel 3: Close-up of Rutherford. He taps the combadge on his chest. "Rutherford to Main Engineering." The badge makes a chirp-bzzzt! sound. Panel 4: Guz, still upside down, taps her combadge. It makes the same chirp-buzzing error sound. Guz says, "Internal comms are down; and there must be too much subspace distortion."

Guzcomic pt.11 - except... Guz isn't actually here this time.

I saved drawing the LCARS until pretty much last and I had a lot of fun with it. My favorite part is Ensign Kerman's display--like, I was just in pure joy while drawing it, rare self-love win.

The three visible OCs are Ens. Eyeless Iris, a Kanopian from Final Space (created by my friend who also goes by Iris; I haven't seen Final Space myself), Ens. Lisdolin Kerman, a Kerbal from Kerbal Space Program (my own OC), and at the console in the final panel on the first page is Ens. Velik, a Vulcan OC created by my friend Jenny, who I have drawn before.

Page 1: Four panel comic on the bridge of the Cerritos.

Panel 1:

On the viewscreen a ringed gas planet with an additional rainbow ring farther out. Tendi and a Kerbal are at the conn in the background, Captain Freeman is in the midground, and an angry-looking Lt. Shax and distressed Kanopian ensign, Iris, is in the foreground.

Ensign Iris: "I'm reading a distress call from the large planetoid in this system's Kuiper Belt."

Distress call in earpiece: ...ert! USS Twilight in severe distress. Requesting assistance from any nearby vessels.  USS Twilight computer: This has been repetition two billion, three hundred seventy-three million, five hundred ninety-five. Message repeats. Red al...

Captain Freeman: "Ensign Kerman, set a course. Warp me, factor two."

Panel 2:

Ensign Kerman: "I can't! The warp drive won't engage!"

Panel 3:

Tendi: "Amazing! The rainbow magnetodisk of the gas giant is interfering with the warp coils! The superjovian magnetic dynamo seems to be interacting with some kind of minor moon made of Dilithium & Verterium to produce a weak static warp field, so the warp drive can't couple to normal space."

Panel 4:

Freeman: "Then give me maximum impulse."

Kerman: "Aye captain. ETA is 10 hours 34 minutes, but we clear the magnetodisk in 15 minutes."

Page 2: Four panel digital art comic.

Panel 1: The USS Cerritos is flying on the outskirts of the rainbow magnetodisk, with a red dwarf star in the background to the right and the ringed planet in the background to the left. The Cerritos is a saucer-shaped ship with two long blocky warp nacelles below it. A faint plume of gas can be seen coming from the back of the saucer.

Panel 2: The Cerritos flies by the viewer. We can see its slower-than-light impulse engines on the bottom of the saucer emitting the plume of gas, but one of the six clusters of the impulse engine is dim, with only three of its six thrusters lit up.

Panel 3: We zoom in on the starboard set of impulse engines, and see that the dim segment seems to be lighting up more of its engines.

What is the hurry about anything you are doing? Is your life one big game show with a clock ticking giving you so many seconds to respond or you will miss out on the Grand prize? Relax and consider the following: Slow down and assess what is actually going on by being aware, listening, and attuned to the moment. WORTHY NOTE: We want to take ownership of our lives, then the mastery of it RELAX A…

Somebody’s planning to build an “impulse engine”

In a video on the YouTube channel Bloomberg Quicktakes, Fearn and Woodward propose using the “Mach Effect Gravity Assist” drive to cut interstellar travel time down to within a human lifetime. https://nerdist.com/article/star-trek-impulse-engines-mega-drive/ OK, so it’s “proposing” to build, not planning. One website screams “they’re building…
