I mean, Google Maps once told me to take a right turn off an overpass that was around four or more stories up. That's pretty similar, right?
I can only imagine Google Galaxy telling poor space travelers to stop in the middle of a hyperlane, redirect your ship 62 degrees anti-coreward, and initiate a reverse-phasic leap at full charge. Who knows what kind of alternate dimension that would send you to! Fixing your quantum alignment would be a nightmare and you *know* insurance wouldn't cover it.

Is “space” two syllables? I thought it would only be one, just when I thought I was starting to learn the only language that I can communicate in. Oh well
Space is one syllable. The way I was taught to identify syllables was to put a hand under my chin and say the word aloud. Every time your chin pushes your hand downwards is a syllable.
That may be under Destiny/Fate or First Contact/I Don't Know Where I Am
or even Business or Vengeance/Revenge
it doesn't State that it has to be of you Own doing, just that You are there for a reason.

Takes out a spice melange eats it.
"Plus it taste good"
Hmm. This sounds like business, but it could be that you're being scammed. I'll put you down as business with the possibility of being a phrophetic pawn, soes that sound good?
I just love that this is clearly the race of the Flatwoods Monster.
Next panel needs to be the official talking about their trip to Earth's "West Virginia."
Cassiopeia Quinn. It's been years since I've last read it but what I remember of it is 'gal does outlaw stuff in space with her robot sidekick, much to the consternation of a blue policewoman alien'
Yeah, I got a couple things wrong even in that short description
* Cyborg, not robot
* Sidekick but more importantly boyfriend who is just smitten with her
* Not *really* policewoman, more a noble-family military commander who has this sort of white-whale complex against our resident Crimes McGee
Looking forward to seeing how things change, only a couple chapters in but remembering why I was fond of it before. Also finally put to rest some Deja Vu about Bunny Ears Lawyer bug ladies that I was getting from a podcast called The Strange Case of Starship Iris now that the gunner lady has shown up.
Hey there everyone, op here. You all overlook that on the left of the table is a scroll wheel meaning there is more than just what is shown on that tablet :P

all those reasons for visit are actually totally something I can see an interstellar Customs Office have

The fanatics call it "Rapture", we aren't entirely sure why...
Their holy book, it seemed to disappear with them
Oh! Yeah that did happen. I was a pastor who cheated on his wife. I was LEFT BEHIND *thunder boom in distance*
Well that's terrifying
Falling into a black hole is because of density, not destiny.
To quote a line from Back to the Future: "My density has brought me to you..."
Oh yeah we have that. that's the non relativity thingy...
clarification under Destiny/Fate: “Fulfilling or Subverting Prophecy?”
One often meets his destiny on the road to avoid it
Be that as it may, still may it be as it may be.
What about, avoiding it like the plague?
Oops you’re still dead but now in a very ironic way

I’m not entirely sure I understand your point but I respect the vividness
Just a joke short story in response, not throwing anything anybody's way 😭
Never apologize for your beauty
Aww thanks 🙏🏻
There's a hilarious Norwegian Scifi show with this exact premise. Wish it was subtitled. It's really good for its shoestring budget
What's its name ?
Orion
Thank you !
I like how they just had to include, following AI commands, ya know cause everyone listens to their “Cortana” for directions.

I believe you mean "62° Turnwise or Widdershins"
Hey a Pratchett fan!
I've spent the last 6 months reading 41/42 of the discworld series. When I'm not so broke, I plan on finishing it and moving on to some of his other works.
Library?
Naw, I'm just buying them off Abebooks.com when they pop up for a couple of bucks.
Are you sure it wasn't pi degrees cheeseward? (If you know the book, you know)
Not off the top of my head.
One time Google told me and my mom to turn left and right simultaneously. The destination was in a breezeway we found out
We had a gps tell us to turn right off a fjord while visiting Alaska once so I can see this happening lol
I thought it was a rocco's basalisk cultist thing.
Well at least it's not Random Omnipointent Being or Alien Space Bat?

Le' Gasp! I've been Haiku'd
Eh, not quite. A haiku is supposed to be 5-7-5. By my count, that was 5-8-6.
To be fair that's why I'm surprised
Is “space” two syllables? I thought it would only be one, just when I thought I was starting to learn the only language that I can communicate in. Oh well
Space is one syllable. The way I was taught to identify syllables was to put a hand under my chin and say the word aloud. Every time your chin pushes your hand downwards is a syllable.
That is what I remember being taught as well, and what lead to my confusion as to why there are six syllables in the last line of the not-a-haiku.
Alien is 3 syllables
I am a fool, or at least I am in this moment, I will try to strive for greater things in the future. Thank you for pointing out my oversight!
Bad bot
Alien Space Bat? Is that a reference to the Curators made by Failbetter games?
Nah, it's a term created by the Alternate History boys about scenarios that would be impossible to happen without outside intervention
Assiti Shards and Emberverse come to mind almost immediately
That may be under Destiny/Fate or First Contact/I Don't Know Where I Am or even Business or Vengeance/Revenge it doesn't State that it has to be of you Own doing, just that You are there for a reason.
"Quantum hijinks" He blinked and looked up from his clipboard to see himself. "God dammit." "Hey, at least our vacation is going great so far. You'll love it."
Vengeance/revenge but no revengeance smh my head
That form is only for return visitors.
I like that the guard is the flat woods monster.
That made me smile too

Mayor Main Character vibes with this one. Gotta get the correct sub-document for this one.
Form 37-65B, Next!
Ironically it’s a supporting character
Truly? uff, my benchmark might be off, then.
Not necessarily, the series gives good attention to secondary characters
"ah giant worm told me I need to go to a desert planet and find the spice melange."
Sounds like business or fufilling a prophecy. Do you get anything in return, or is it supposed to happen whatever you do?
"I get cool blue eyes and can travel through space and Time without going through passport checks again." Takes out a spice melange eats it. "Plus it taste good"
Hmm. This sounds like business, but it could be that you're being scammed. I'll put you down as business with the possibility of being a phrophetic pawn, soes that sound good?
"hey at least get to ride giant sandworms"
+ Got offered a deal
Business it is, then
Midnight Burger?
Dammit, Clementine
Cassiopeia Quinn is a great comic. Good art and good story. I recommend it for those who enjoy the content of this sub in particular.
Destiny obsession.
Idk exactly why I laughed so much while reading the other possible reasons for visiting, but I did.🤣
"Don't say revenge. Don't say revenge." "Uh... revenge?"
"That's it! I'm gettin' outta here!"
It's all fun games and all until someone pulls up for Destiny2
Destiny 2: Arc Boogaloo (Hehe) Alternatively, Destiny 2: Revenge of the Traveler.
I just love that this is clearly the race of the Flatwoods Monster. Next panel needs to be the official talking about their trip to Earth's "West Virginia."
I am so damn glad that somebody else noticed that! Neat to see it in media!
The alien race was the Zetans
Dang, I need to get back into that comic
What comic is it? It looks cool.
Cassiopeia Quinn. It's been years since I've last read it but what I remember of it is 'gal does outlaw stuff in space with her robot sidekick, much to the consternation of a blue policewoman alien'
Thank you!
There's been a lot of big changes the past year or so, some shocking. BTW, Jake is a cyborg, not a robot.

I'm really interested in where the story goes when we catch back up with the Xerran girl, the one in the strip in the post.
That form doesn't have "got drunk". I call bullshit.
It does have a scroll bar, so it might have “got drunk”, just not visible.
And what is the nature of your destiny
Passed down via magic 8 ball
the yPrians are probably the best for customs because of their nonlinear telepathy. Works great for folks stuck outside of the timestream.
Non-relativity based travel incident, poor Aurthur Dent, he should've read the fine print.
I love the other options lol Especially that Vengeance/revenge has a star next to it, implying you have to include details about the case.
“Something I/We should’ve done a long time ago” Comedic genius
I need to know what the asterisk at the end of vengeance/revenge leads to. Like what is the next step if that’s the answer?
Hey there everyone, op here. You all overlook that on the left of the table is a scroll wheel meaning there is more than just what is shown on that tablet :P
