Grrl Power #705 – Hot tub space machine
First time making out with an alien cutie? Probably a good idea to take a moment and sort out all potential cultural baggage. Luckily Sydney is well familiarized with the trope.
Generally speaking, setting up some boundaries the first time you make out with anyone isn’t the worst idea either. The danger there is that you start outlining stuff like “Okay, you can stick your finger in my ear, but not your tongue, but if you stick anything in my butt, then I don’t want that appendage anywhere near my ear…” and the other person is like, “Whoa, I was just hoping to get to second base, you’re already planning the 5th inning.”
The idea of a bath or pool seems really weird on a spaceship, because we’re all used to Star Trek and seeing people getting knocked around the bridge when they’re in a battle or a gravitational whatsit. Large jarring movements don’t sit well with the idea of any sized body of liquid, be it a coffee cup or an Olympic pool. Presumably, the inertial dampeners on Cora’s ship are top of the line, or the tub is usually drained into tanks when not in use. Probably both, really.
I want to see an episode of a Star Trek like show where instead of the people on the bridge getting thrown around, they cut to a guy in his quarters trying to build a house of cards or a ship in a bottle. That or the daycare, and show a bunch of kids cartwheeling around in the air. I could actually see The Orville do the first one. Maybe not the one with the kids though.

Nathan Lowell has several excellent sci-fi book series that deal with the completely mundane and very realistic mechanics of space travel. Golden Age of the Solar Clipper is the first, start at Quarter Share which is still available for free in podcast format.
When you’re done with that series, find the Facebook group about it and find out why we all have sponge numbers.
This is a septuple recommendation for Nathan Lowell. Do a search on scribl.com for all podcasts by Nathan Lowell to get the free stories read by the author.
The weird and wonderful thing about this series is the focus on the journey, and not the action. It is not a perfect series, but one that I visit at least once a year and recommend to anyone willing to listen.
Ravenwood was a nice story as well, hence septuple.
And your sponge number is…? ;)
808 :P
1022.
I checked out the face book group and I still have not got a clue about what a sponge numbers is all about. Some body care to clue me in?
I’d like to see a Star Trek where the engineers start digging into the walls to rip out the dynamite they always seem to install in there.
Captain: “Incoming phasers!”
*WHAM!*
*BOOOM!*
*ensign Ricky goes hurtling across the bridge as his panel explodes from an impact the shields should have absorbed*
Captain: “Well, he’s dead…”
Ensign Ricky: “Why!? Why do we always install dynamite!?”
And the walls must always be made of granite as all you ever see on the bridge and places is chunks of rocks everywhere………….ROCKS I tell you!
I could get random walls having power conduits behind them that get overloaded and explode. But why do the consoles have such high power going to them?
The Borg sent a small ship back in time and killed the guy who invented the fuse.
The problem with that, is that even if the guy does get killed, someone else would invent the fuse instead. It may take a bit longer, but it would happen. Several inventions that we have were actually created by several people at the same time in different parts of the world. Even if all knowledge we have is lost, everything would get discovered again in time.
Not if you just keep killing them.
That never works they will be spending most of their time playing wack-a-fuse. Easier to just assimilate the planet and move to the next.
Maybe a rousing game of “Whack-a-Fuse” is what they do for fun
Is that what they call it?
The explosions on a Star Trek ship is due to everything using power having a plasma conduit running through it. Yes, the crew are sitting at a desk with a pipe filled with plasma some two-three feet in front of their faces, And above their crotch.
In 1966, when Star Trek was first produced, vacuum tubes were still being used in most electronics. Vacuum tubes use high voltage (>250 v), and are somewhat fragile, so damage to the circuit could result in high voltage arcing. Since the expectation for the audience was set by the first episodes, they couldn’t very well change it for later shows. Besides, everyone loves explosions. It wouldn’t be an action show without explosions.
That makes a lot more sense now. Thanks!
You also have to take into account that televison is a visual medium, so they have to show, not tell.
Imagine a “truthful” depiction: the Borg are attacking hard and the crew is nervous/tense. They show no shocks or hurt people in the command room, just a few screens go blank because the sections they are reporting on are damaged/lost, you see damage reports/warning signs flashing across a screen. If you do see damage, it’s in the other sections where there are a lot of people we do not know (and thus have not emotionally invested in).
Then they show the battlefield from outside with the two combattants: two spots hardly noticable in the blackness of space because they are are so far away that getting them together on a screen means pulling out way back.
I’d watch!
instead of the ship vaporizing from any kind of shock hitting it at the speeds it’s traveling at.
instead, it directs all the energy into every single square meter of whatever technological gizmo they have spread through the mass of the ship.
this, in turn, does cause small explosions when the devices fail, but in turn, the ship is not turned into dust when its hit by something going 500 times the speed of light.
Fortunately this doesn’t appear to be the kind of cat man with a spiky dick
Maybe the spikes are retractable.
Based on the nose, I was interpreting him as more of a dog-man.
I was personally thinking a canid-antelope of some sort, myself.
Base on the horns, I was thinking “goat” – and he certainly got Sydney’s with that line.
based on the fact he’s almost DEFINITELY not from earth, I assumed he was whatever he was, tall, polite, handsome, furry, courteous, a bit horny (not just horned), and apparently well hung (though maybe not as much by the standards of his species)
“His penis has barbs” is the kind of thing Cora would have warned Syd about. That is reason #1273 on why Syd asked questions before getting in that bath.
“We’re gonna need another Ricky…”
Will this finally inspire a good amount of risque Sydney based fan art?
We can only hope to be so fortunate.
If there isn’t already, there never will be, unless it is the furry yaoi variety (not saying there is anything wrong with that)
I just want to comment that I have never seen Sydney as actually “pretty”/”sexy” before the last panel of today’s comic. With her hair down like that, though (and a lack of a maniacal expression), she’s quite the looker.
I wholeheartedly agree that that last panel is actually pretty sexy, but for what it’s worth Sydney is literally the ONLY female character in this entire series who I find at all attractive.
And I wholeheartedly agree that only Sydney is true beauty on this comic series.
I mean, at least Mako phrased it in a “this is my opinion” way. You just straight called the other beauties objectively unattractive.
komm, actually its you who are calling em unattractive, I just dont call em true beauties :)
If you are not attracted to them, then, by definition, they are ‘unattractive’ (at least to you)
That Aniston person is supposedly beautiful, personally don’t find her attractive in the least
‘Beauty’ and ‘Attraction’ are not the same thing
Something (or someone) could be clinically ugly, butt someone could still find them attractive
Gue, it is you who assume “not attracted” when not calling them most beautiful persons :) I myself still havent called em unattractive nor actually havent even implied so.
Didn’t really mean you personally, was using the ‘royal you’, and was attempting to explain the difference between ‘beauty’ and ‘attractiveness’
You (raven0ak) also haven’t said if you were attracted to any of them :P
I’m trying to imagine Dabbler’s reaction if she met you, did her succubus magic, and turned into Sydney.
Agree completely about that last panel. That is really one of the best expressions and images in the comic for portraying an attractive female, doubly so for Sydney as she is usually limited to goofball exaggeration. Love the interest mixed with vulnerability that she is showing.
I’m bi, but not male, and I can tell you for absolute sure that the other ladies are attractive each in their own ways…and that they can be incredibly attractive in the way they are drawn at moments, or during actions, that the traditional male gaze would not find “attractive” or “feminine.” (Maxima grimly death glaring and blowing up a blood golem, for example. Hawtness!)
The way how women are told to be “extra feminine” to be “attractive” definitely wrecks some of the ability for non-female types to see them as truly attractive & appealing at non-feminine times.
Mind you, I’m not saying your preferred moment of attraction is invalid. I am saying that your perception of that being her only really attractive moment is a perception hampered by societal expectations & cultural impositions. I also found Sydney incredibly appealing here, where she’s rockin’ her nerd all-nighter talk: https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/1948 and here, I found her incredibly hawt for being thoughtful and tough and willing to dive into battle: https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2934 She knows by that point her shield isn’t completely impenetrable/impervious, she knows there’s personal danger in heading down to face Squidward on the surface…but she’s just so damned sexy for deciding to go for it full-bore, PPO blazing…and then how clever she is in getting around the damned shields, escaping the tractor beam, etc, etc, etc, all of that is highly appealing to my bi self.
It’s not traditionally feminine (and I love the traditionally feminine stuff, too!), but it should be considered as much a possible part of a woman’s appeal as coy modest demure blushing downward glances and body shyness…which are over-emphasized as “ideal attractive appeal” traits for females.
If we move away from Sydney, I also really like Cora’s boldness. Xuriel’s is a bit overblown / over the top, but still absolutely amusing and fascinating, and I loved the interplay between her and the other succubus at the Council meeting, etc. We need to move away from restrictive/repressive ideas that only demure blushing hesitancy can be attractive (and it still can be!) and accept that boldness is also an attractive trait in women, rather than hussy-shaming or whatever. Or braininess, or guts & grit in the face of danger.
So I’ll have to disagree politely on that being “…one of the best expressions and images in the comic for portraying an attractive female…”
I mean, jfc, doesn’t this page’s last panel of Maxima wiping the miniboss at the Council meeting get any of you hot n bothered?? https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/2355
Well, Ladyofthemasque, I’m male and straight, and I find brains and competance extremely attractive in a woman!
In your first example, Sidney the Nerd cute, attractive, clever, and generally sypatico.
In your second, Sidney rhe Warrior is magnificent!
And while Maxima is always hot, striding out of the collapsed tunnel and obliterating the Regenerator was distilled essence of Maxima!
I think you have most excellent taste.
‘Tis not Beauty that is in the Beholder’s eye, butt Attraction in the mind of the belayer
Good thing Frix is a medic. He keeps shocking Sydney like that she’s going to need CPR…
Maybe there will be done mouth to mouth and chest compressions later.
Hey, good point… Humans can breathe the benzene that my respiration expels right?
Guess she can see fine at that distance with no glasses.
Since we only see him from behind, maybe the distance is very very close. Her eyes are definitely following the nearest point :)
You know, it just occurred to me that at their level of technology, it’s probably nothing for them to just fix Sydney’s eyes. It seems to me that seeing her walk around with cracked glasses would lead to somebody offering that.
Of course, I know that it’s Sydney “Look”, but perhaps she would still wear fake glasses because she likes the appearance, kinda like The Doctor does sometimes.
We know that hasn’t happened since back at the beginning of the comic, before this whole flashback arc started when she’s playing the RPG with her friends, she’s still wearing glasses.
Unless, as I mentioned, she wears them because she likes them, not because she still needs them.
Not that I think it will actually happen, it just seems like a missed opportunity.
Didn’t Jordy LaForge choose to keep his visor rather than have cybernetic eyes implanted?
At least until sometime between the end of the series and Star Trek: First Contact.
Those glasses he wears, are sonic, kinda like his screwdriver
I was referring to the “Brainy specs” that 10 and 11 sometimes wore because he thinks they make him look clever.
For all we know, they may literally do that
Perhaps she is allergic to Retinax V. Kirk was, after all.
I just watched an episode of ST:ENT (“Unexpected”), where they still use water-based showers and gravity goes wonky, so the drops just start being floating globules of water and the Captain starts floating while in the shower.
…then they turn gravity back on and he falls on his butt xD
So basically, astronauts in our time are more prepared for how to shower in space than the Federation in Captain Archer’s time.
Good to know :)
Well, sure, in the same way that someone from the 1800s is ‘more prepared’ for how to ride a horse-drawn wagon over a bumpy, rutted path than I am. When you almost never experience 0-G conditions, you aren’t going to have an instant recall of ‘what to do in the shower’.
Was figuring it the other way round: when you are constantly in zero- or low-G conditions you are less likely to forget what happens when gravity goes out
I hope Yorp will just lick the blushing lewdness out of Sydney before they go at it, and when I mean go at it, I mean scratch that itch that Yorp can’t reach and he’s wiggling his leg and getting water all over the room.
:-D
Topless Sydney, please. Everyone else in the cast got some cheesecake!
I mean, Valentines day *is* coming up, so let’s hope we can get a pic for that, ay?
That might be too sexy for normal humans to handle.
I must say, I really like the last panel, it shows just how pretty Sidney is.
After reading DaveB’s comments regarding the “Butt to ear” bit, I am not sure if I want to know if THAT has ever had to come up in a conversation. At least it wasn’t “to nostril” though.
So cute! That sixth panel , especially.
Okay I really need to know DaveB….
What the heck happens in the 5th inning?
Statistically about 3 runs total per team, about 60 pitches, 20 catches, 10 walks, 30 strikes, and 15 outs.
All in all not all that impressive for sex in one night.
I don’t really get the intricacies of the baseball metaphor, but the sheer number of plays makes that sounds like a pretty wild (if awkwardly executed) night.
Well, there are several innings where things happen, but nothing “happens” in terms of scoring. in the metaphor terms, it’s the pillow talk before some one says or does something to “set up the bases” again for another “run”
Sounds pretty good for my ego though if I was in a bar and had 60 men make pitches to me.
heck, I’d be happy with 1 woman
That smirk in the penultimate panel is gold
So… let’s see.
Super bonus points to him for breaking the tension in the most awesome way. XD
Dave, that is the BEST way I’ve ever seen to depict a smirk on a snout I think I’ve ever seen. XD
And now I’m waiting for Dabbler’s first meeting with Sydney on her return, and whether she goes brash about it and turns Sydney into a charcoal briquette attempting to self-immolate, or whether she keeps quiet about it, and just subtly offers a hi-five with something like “Oh, YOU KNOW what this is for.”
I do dearly love Frix’s smirk XD
Yep, I like Frix… He’s got my sense of humor…
On the one hand, this isn’t quite what I’d hoped to have happen (and I’m hazy on that, at best)…yet it fits the comic infinitely better, so this proves why I’m the reader and DaveB is the writer.
If the gender roles were reversed, I’d like to think I’d be willing to go with Sydney’s path here as well.
But Frix’s joke was 100% what I would’ve done.
XD
Well played.
Wow, Sydney is looking ‘Not-So-Tomboy’ now. When she gets back to Earth I think she is gonna have Stories, a New Wardrobe and a MakeOver. However I think Sexy Sydney is looking “real nice” as she is in the last panel.
Well in the presence of the “Swat team of super powered sex goddesses” kind of makes her self conscious. Here we see her in the absence of “Delicious chocolate peaches” so to speak.
Dunno, think tomboy Sydney will still be tomboy Sydney. She felt no real urge to ‘dress up’ for either the restaurant post Archon reveal or Club Oontz.
But think there can be a nice reveal panel at some point when she goes out on a date-date, vs ‘lets go see the next marvel movie together’. Can see all five Harem’s giving her a makeover at once, with Dabbler applying an expert (and arousal effect free) finishing touch.
Bashful Sydney is adorable. Hope you continue this, and thank you for it.
Did Frix repair her glasses? He’s the “mr. Fix-it” of the ship, right?
Or maybe the water is filtered then separated into its component hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and stored as gases?
They’d have to be compressed and stored as liquids, but either form is flammable and thus A Bad Thing™ to store on a spaceship if you don’t actually use it in that form.
I suppose in theory you could use the tanks for either water or propellant though, so there are some possibilities that are practical instead of just dangerous.
You can’t, compress a liquid.
Actually you can, but only slightly (though water is especially compression-resistant), otherwise sound and other waves couldn’t propagate through it. However, I was referring to the separated gases being compressed into liquids, not further compression of a the resulting liquids following the phase change.
They use Capsule Corporation storage, they have a whole drawer full of Olympic swimming pool quantities of water.
*turns around*
This applies to all of us, right?
NO peeking y’all!
And this is why you are standing in front of a mirrored surface, is it? XD
And this is why you are standing in front of a mirrored surface? XD
Well I do seem to be seeing two of you, for some reason.
*blinks and rubs eyes with paws*
I do seem to be beside myself. an error?
or an opportunity? XD
Every now and then when a character says “Turn Around,” Total Eclipse of the Heart pops into my head.
And the lyrics fit so well to this scene, too!
Oh, I *like* that sneaky bastard.
Error. Error. Does not compute.
Frix has fur, but yet has an arm tattoo. How do you tattoo someone with fur?
If humans can figure it out, then aliens can too.
Not sure if anyone noticed this yet, but part of his tattoo is floating above the fur/skin.
You missed the discussion a few pages back when he first appeared? Lot of theories of how it could happen, including the fact, apart from his shoulders and neck, he doesn’t appear to be any more ‘fluffy’ than a hyu-mon
… Don’t think about it. It’s that simple. It’s not an important detail, and a lot of furs do aesthetic markings. As long as we don’t get pedantic about the how, we can focus on what it adds to the appearance and leave it at that. Also, he’s an alien from a hyper-advanced setting, let us not question science so grand it looks like magic compared to our crap.
Just remember what you’ve been eating, Sydney. So don’t try to kiss him. Else you might see him scampering down the hall with his tail between his legs going, “Yipe! Yipe! Yipe! Yipe!”
*ears perk up, looks around curiously*
Oh, not me, never mind.
I think there was an episode of Enterprise where Captain Archer was having a shower and the gravity cut out (hey cute blobs of water floating, and I am floating!) and then cut in again (ow!).
We’re bad people. When you mentioned the kids cartwheeling through the air, we actually laughed. On the other hand, considering Star Trek – if we remember correctly, there’s no real washrooms as such, since waste is Transported out of the body (and converted to … what?) – but there was a scene in one of the movies with Riker and Troi taking a bath. Part of me thinks that was holodeck, though – we’re pretty damn sure they use ‘sonic showers’ or Transporter technology to clean up.
Are you willing to trust their transporter tech to safely remove your crap and not take your lower intestine as well? o_O
Or the pranking uses that Dr McCoys skin zipper-upper has >^.^<
Situation turns uncomfortable.. Frix immediately disarms the situation with spot on joke. I LIKE him! Can we keep him please? PLEASE?!
…I could go with her having an off-world boyfriend, actually. Kinda neat idea.
Weekend get-together’s might be a bit tough. Especially with time dilation involved, though apparently they have ways to get around that. Also considering how many long distance relationships end up into failure on earth alone… Well, I wonder how it works out when your “long distance” measures a few light years at minimum. I’d rather join him on wondorous (though probably in truth boring) space voyages! Heeey Cora. Got room for one more? – though I don’t promise to be quite as sexy (and probably young) as they guys you got!
Actually that made wonder how old the crew is – I mean how often you get the “oh I’m just 700 years old, just a youngin by my species standard” trope played with aliens.
You forget that Sydney can open up her own worm-hole any time she wants, so distance wouldn’t be a factor
Maybe she can finagle a small apartment on Fracture Station — within walking distance of the Grakz vendor — for the occasional canoodling rendezvous.
Gives a whole new level of “Canadian Girlfriend” ?
ET boyfriend……
I get why TNG thought to say kids and families were on the ship was a good idea for an exploration ship, and it makes sense right up until you run into a situation where the ship is being fired upon by the xenophobic aliens you just made first contact with, or your ship is being eaten by the space piranhas you just discovered, or any of the other myriad of things that can (and have happened in Star Trek) when exploring unknown space. Things where having your loved ones die with you would not be seen as exactly a desirable solution.
To say nothing of when suddenly the ship is called on to be a warship and the odds of a bunch of the families getting killed when a Romulan disruptor – or Borg cutting beam – slices through 5 decks, suddenly start to approach near certainty.
Soldiers and navy personnel – including Star Fleet (which in 50 years STILL can’t decide what their actual job is) – sign up for those risks. They know it going in. Their kids, not so much.
There are enough random space stations and planets that I imagine you can off-load the actual civilians in the case of going out to doing something specifically dangerous (re: called up for borg). Doesn’t help with the first contact issues, though.
I also assume, much like any space craft, there are drills for what to do in case of emergency. I’m guessing that the classrooms, for example, double as life pods with separate life support (At least, that’s how I’d set them up). Seal the doors and start sending distress signals. even if you are stuck in a chunk of floating space debris, you’ll have some chance. Assuming the engine doesn’t blow and everything gets atomized (whoops >.> ), so, in a red alert, kids get to class, teacher serves as overwatch, and the parents have slightly less to worry about while some fool attacks the USS Enterprise E. Again.
I’ll look at that blush. I think sitting he’s going to enjoy this more than she thought especially since he’s proven that he has a sense of humor.
I am hearing the Muttly laugh from Wacky Races cue in about there…
It looks like its time for Sydney to buy that “Vagoo of holding” she mentioned WAAAY back in 2017.
(2017-05-04)
Since her reaction was horrified we can imagine he at least is sporting human compatible packaging.
So no dragonfly claw graspers, four headed spike penises, body length extending rat genitals, freaky turtle penis, tiny hole in vaginal armor needle piercing, or anything weird (for a human or his apparent structure at that) equipment.
But he could still be (Uncanny valley genitals), just close enough but slightly off enough to raise an eyebrow. Like it looks like a buttplug type of stuff, long with undulating segments like some dildos, ect…
although no one is considering the reverse problem. Remember Dabbler mentioned she has muscles humans don’t that could ruin human men for human women…well what if Frix’s species also has those, so mating with a human is like…half the normal experience.
Imagine the awkwardness of some scenarios like you lived among slime girls whose whole bodies could produce liquid suction, mini-whirlpools…and some big ones everywhere, getting into every erogenous zone at once…and then you do your thing at a human space station, get to the act and its like…one mouth, one tiny tongue, and minimal bending and surface interactions, like…oh…right…human limitations.
“wasn’t horrified”
curse autocorrect.
I gotta say, I’ve had a bit of a crush on Sydney for a while now, mainly on personality, but good God damn, she is beautiful here.
As a side note, it’s amazing comparing to the first sighting of her. The improvement in artwork is impressive.
Well, I guess Sydney just learned a valuable lesson about cultural expectations & differences. At least as far as it goes for Sydney’s own personal hangups, I find it commendable that she wants to “come clean” with it.
On the other hand, I think Frix is kinda lying about “setting the date” & such, just to teach Sydney some kind of lesson here. Maybe something like “Finish what you start.” True honesty is having the courage of your convictions & I think that’s what Sydney is about to learn…After she’s had a chance to unwind from that tightly-bound mess of strained nerves & learns to relax a bit. I think that’s what Frix is really aiming for, even if he had to play the part of a psychiatrist & feign a bit of indignation to get her to relax.
Setting a patient at ease IS part of a doctor’s job after all & Cora only hired the BEST crew. On the previous page, we saw how Slyv openly admitted that this crew is the best, but I don’t think he said it from arrogance…I think he said it because the crew understands how lucky & skilled they have to be to get on such a crew in the first place. I think he said it out of gratitude! After all, there probably arent’ many ships in the whole of the galaxy where the crew lives & works in opulent living & working conditions, such as having a “Captain with benefits” as one of the perks.
I’m thinking that Frix is just being more subtle than Slyv was with that same gratitude, for Sydney’s sake.
He made a joke. Technically lying, yes, but he wasn’t serious. Check his expression in the beat panel. No deep lesson, just a bit of humor to relax her.
This was, already discussed.
With apologies to Mel Brooks:
Altus: Damn brother! They said you was hung.
Frix: And they were right! :D
Youtube for the curious – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdExsAQuCQA
I sure hope the scene(s) implied to come will end up in the Valentines Day SD. (even if the events don’t come to pass in the actual comic)
even if its just them laying together cuddled up semi nude type thing. all romantic like type thing
I’m sure it’s not what Dave was going for but I imagine Frix with a light Australian accent. Nevermind the question of “why does an alien with no obvious connection to Earth have a terrestrial accent?” It’s just the impression I get looking at his face. Another question, I quickly looked up the definition of terrestrial to see if it related specifically to Earth or just referenced planetary bodies in general. It sounded like it was derived from Terra and I seem to be validated but that begs another question: What adjective would you use to attribute something to planetary bodies in general? Like how would look at two different rocks and “this one is a space rock and this one is a _______ rock.” That said I guess all planets in a way massive “space rocks” but there must be a way and a need to differentiate between rocks that have spent significant time on a planet and ones that spend most of their time in space disassociated with any significant celestial body. Also is it weird that most of us (I assume) don’t think of Earth as a part of space? That space is something which exists seperate from Earth, rather than us constantly sailing through it? Probably the human ego.
Great, now I’m hearing his voice as Crocodile Dundee.
Now I am hearing Bon Scott.
Invader Zim
Sidereal means of or with respect to the distant stars, so I’m sure there’s probably a proper word for it, as terrestrial actually means something like: of a planet, being composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals.a planet made mostly of water may be aqueous, or possibly there’s a planet out there made entirely of lobster in garlic butter, and it would be called delicious
Why not just… Planetary?
SSshhhhh, you’ll spoil the fun!
Truce?
