Woo woo new chapter! And it features: a resplendently over-rendered zucchini plant. Exactly what you're reading this comic for.
Transcript
Rasheed reaches through the large prickly leaves of a zucchini plant growing in a hydroponics medium to cut off a zucchini fruit with his pruning shears. Talita walks past the door to the administration wing warily as she leaves the recycling plant, watching Idrisah talking to an avian intern who is using a desktop computer. Idrisah doesn't appear to notice Talita.

My goodness, I could look at that zucchini for hours. Any agriculture worldbuilding in RTTS has me rattling the bars of my enclosure

Rasheed the noble warrior fighting the good fight against the spider mites indulges in a great victory: the humble zucchini

When we get our printed copy of this book, and are avidly and enthusiastically subjecting our friends and family to it, this zucchini plant is going to be one of the very first things we make them look at.
“Look at it! Look at this! LOOK AT THE ZUCCHINI! This is a COMIC!”
And they will understand.

While growing zucchini in an entirely controlled environment has the obvious benefit of avoiding seasonal gluts, it has unfortunately spelled the end of National Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Day.

I love your resplendently over-rendered zucchini plant! It’s beautiful! If, in between chapters, you just drew a bunch of over-rendered vegetables, both from Earth and other planets, I would definitely be here for that. Artists doing art is always welcome. (And I love the way you art!)

Can’t wait to find out what especially high-resolution zucchini has to do with this escape heist.

Resplendently over-rendered plants is exactly what I’m hoping for every time I open a new webcomic page 🙂

Honestly, if I didn’t want to see resplendently rendered organisms, who would I be? Fortunately: when a whole chapter is named after something, it’s important to feature the titular eponym!
……right?

Using gloves to protect against the fearsome defenses of the zucchini plant… smart. Something I think I’ll do every time and yet somehow every year I end up in there, wrenching the fruit off the stems with my bare hands…

That zucchini plant is marvelous.
