Description
Comic 155: Noble SacrificePanel 1: Show the ship being his by several meteorites as it is entering the atmosphere. Not a hologram.
Captain (voice-over box): "We turned on our active cloack in favor of our shields in the hopes that the inhabitants might not notice use. We simply didn't have the power for both. Unfortunately-"
Panel 2: Captain is in his chair looking down with regret it seems.
Captain: "A meteorite pierced through our third thruster, part of the stabilizer and a coolant tube. Luckily we were far enough in that the successive meteorites were too small to do anything but damage solar cells."
Panel 3: Captain holding up a hypodermic injection-like device with a tube sticking out of it that's empty but has some mixture residue in it.
Captain: "My medic was killed upon the invevitable impact. A few power conduits were also damaged and we spent what time we had left repairing them."
Panel 4: Captain dropping the device.
Captain: "I, Jihax Curinhl, and my crew had to use to much of our remaining power repairing the power conduits and keeping the enviromental systems running. The door was still magnetically locked and we had no way to force it open either."
Panel 5: Captain slumping back in his chair.
Captain: "My two remaining crew and I only had enough supplies to poisin two of us so we would not feel the pain of our suffocating demise. As captain I, of course, chose to face my end and spare my crew the torment."
