Mayday! Mayday! We are going down. Structural damage. We would like to land at the airport, on a runway if possible. We need full emergency response!
Copy your call of mayday. I do not have you in the system; please identify. Over.
Woah, the kiddos are all grown up!
And this time, he gets a name
Just checked the link to the Tomb, nearly three years real-time
Funnily enough I bought a mug with those very words on it last week.
"Bring up #3 Flanksail"?
I knew it!
Considering some people mentioned it last page, should hope so
So hes a combination of Vorlon and Shadow?
I know that must be a Babyon 5 reference… but I don’t get it.
In Babylon 5, the Vorlons are characterized as always asking "Who are you" while their opposites, the Shadows, ask everyone "What do you want?"
I like Vir Cotto’s answer to that second one:
"What do I want? I want to live just long enough to be there when they cut your head off and stick it on a pike, as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high a price. I want to look up into your lifeless eyes and wave like this (waves). Can your associates arrange that for me, Mister Morden?"
In Crusade, we get the other questions:
Who are you? (The Vorlon Question)
What do you want? (The Shadow Question)
Why are you here? (Emperor Turhan’s Question)
Where are you going? (Techno Mage’s Question)
Who do you serve and who do you trust?
And yes, Vir Catto’s answer was fantastic.
What about a ‘How?’ question?
Growing up, it was ‘Who, What, Why, Where & How’ (heh, that would make a great name for a Law Firm 😛 )
You missed Loriens question.
Do you have anything worth living for?
Why are you here? Where are you going?
Those were Lorien’s questions.
That was SOOO cool episode! And the one where Delenn brought minbari warcruisers to protect Babylon 5. And…!
He’s the son of Turg the Minotaur
A sphynxetaur… sounds about right for his ancestry…
Better than any of the suggestions we came up with ‘back in the day’
Is that the same pronunciation as sphinctseater?
"We want to not die!"
"Hi, Low!! Is your father home?"
Trying to recall if anyone on that ship would know anyone on that cloud… The Fox maybe? He seems to ‘get around’
The Fox is the only one on the cloud who’s likely to know anyone on the ship… I don’t think anyone else there has connections with the kingdom. Of those on the ship, Caelin and the King are the only ones I can think of who might know the Fox… if only by reputation.
Caelin, King Runtherd, and Eddy met The Fox in the "Lucas by Moonlight" storyline.
Ah, so they did… and someone even posted a relevant link against the previous strip…

"Right this moment? To land and make repairs."
That’s an odd thing to have on a mug.
Not an unreasonable pair of demands during wartime, eh?
t!
Grinning madly. So, so happy to see Low again!
What? Like Captains of ships don’t *expect* to deal with the Harbormaster?
I’ve been away and doing a batch catch up so write this in the near-certain knowledge no-one will read it but I am really disappointed no-one mentioned the Red Leader reference…
Good catch. But alas, you’re right. It didn’t go in. It just impacted on the surface. Alas.
