Monday -- Strip 46 We're back at the docking bays. This is our first look at Raal's ship. It's an original design -- from the looks of it, from Sienar. It's not very big, as far as personal space transports go, but it's clearly larger than say a fighter.

Smiley's packed to go, which in this case means an extra bandolier and a tool of Squib origin strapped to his back. Spilfer, the first Squib readers ever got to know in Scavenger Hunt (1988, WEG) had a similar, but not exactly the same, device.

Tuesday -- Strip 47 It's a pretty roomy cockpit for one person. I figure every space on Raal's ship has the potential to host a party.

Wednesday -- Strip 48 Now, paths are starting to converge. Skorr's back, with some friends -- 4-LOM, Zuckuss, and someone we haven't seen in about ten years, Furlag, from Shadows of the Empire (Can you believe that was ten years ago?) While it's Evasive Action: Prey that's whole-heartedly exploring some of those elements, I couldn't resist bringing back some of that fun.

Skorr's eavesdropping may prove lucrative, and we can probably guess which officer he's radioing.

Thursday -- Strip 49 Here's the reason I noted before that the interconnectedness of these docking bays would be important. While I imagine there were probably locks and other security measures that had be to overrided to achieve what happens here, the event has been distilled down to three panels.

I can imagine Carl Stalling sneaking around music too.

Friday -- Strip 50 Not much to add here, other than noting that YT-1300s don't vary much in the cockpit interior either, apparently.

That's it for the first 50 strips of Rookies. Next week, several paths cross rather explosively. Till next time!
