This is probably the most dialogue-dense page I've drawn in months. Normally I try not to rely to heavily on characters just saying what's happening, but it makes sense in this scene, since Nina is interrogating Lisette. I've made a point of not showing explicitly how intelligent the aliens are unless it's part of a poll option, just to make sure. But at this point there's pretty much no denying that they're fully intelligent, and likely perfectly capable of piloting ships or doing anything else. Maybe we could say it's a hive mind thing... they are telepathic, after all... the Queen probably gets smarter the more minds she has control of.
It's interesting because I really pushed for a short chapter with the last issue, but between the 14 pages of the previous issue, plus all the pages of this issue we're already at 46 pages... this story is definitely going to end up actually being longer than the Cap'n Lily story. Lol although that story is still technically ongoing, with Kenneth's take on it. I wonder what we'll be doing next on Side Dishes...
