Ah, finally back to the great outdoors! It was starting to get stuffy in there, with all those atmospheric gases!
Transcript
Adam: You’re a GMH?
Phoebe: Excuse me!? I’m in the typ genepool with you, twerp!
Clayton: Where do you find these people, boss?
Talita: I’m not in charge of hiring.
Most of the crew has suited up and loaded into the personal transit buggy. Talita fusses with Dominic's suit.
Talita: Dominic, you forgot a helmet latch again.
Dominic: (unintelligible)
Talita: And your radio.
They exit the airlock and go back out into the barren landscape of the junkyard. The protective berm looms to the right, and behind it the launch loop stretches through the sky and disappears over the horizon. The tall plant buildings dwarf the procession of vehicles exiting it, which appear only as a string of lights.

… in charge of UNhiring, perchance … ?
I’ve read up on Tumblr and ran into the info that in RttS, humans are considered the oozy ones …
(… of course, now that I want to link to it, I can’t find the post again …)
… in a similar vein ……. are Demodex folliculorum still a thing … ?

Cheevwut is in charge of hiring, right? They maybe need to up their standards a little.
Claire
With hiring candidates like this, maybe Cheev could be talked into hiring Bip, eh?

Is Talita looking up or down in the second panel there? I cannot figure out which bit is her pupil 😡 My eyes are just getting mildly baffled by a shadow I think.

She is looking up. The bit that have you confused under the eye is her second eylid (or at least I assume that’s what is confusing you)

How did Dominic pass his EVA cert when he keeps making mistakes like this… Also if there’s a spot for Talita on that buggy or if she is on foot alongside it.
Amanda/OwlBear
are those two always like that, or just because they’ve been drinking
Anna
It’d be funny if they were drinking together. Ohwitiil and Cheevwut vibes.

Ah, so it’s a Launch Loop. It kinda looked like a space elevator at first. Makes more sense with the ixion logo too.

There’s a page that goes into detail about dirtball’s launch loop… somewhere. I can’t remember where 🙁
