![Vertical comic structured like flow chart. (1) Einstein had an insight that overturned physics, thus proving his value. (2) I hope *I* have value. I’ll try to have an insight that overturns physics, to check. (3) [Time Passes] (4) Oh no! My insight didn’t overturn physics! But I don’t think I’m worthless… [arrows to two different options] (5a) Healthy Path: Maybe this was not a well-thought-out test of my value. (5b) Path of Ruin: The establishment must be *suppressing* my insight!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreihhxykbw72fblbjeupqscutarbdowk73mhsdkqrtzjwrpzqzamjem@jpeg)

![PANEL 1: The MACHITO floats above a cloudy planet, stars in space behind them.
LOCATION: THE MACHITO, ON SASEET
Nando, from inside the ship: But Captain…you’re acting like you’re going to stroll in, give your report, and stroll out.
PANEL 2: NANDO, a young man in a baseball hat and imperial uniform, stands next to the CAPTAIN, an older woman with a grey bouffant hair and glasses. She stands at a control panel, holding a mug of coffee.
NANDO: …What if this is just an execution’s summons from my uncle?
CAPTAIN: I’m damned if I go, and I”m damned if I don’t go, ‘Nando. At least in going…there’s a chance.
PANEL 3: The CAPTAIN takes a sip, while SKITTER, a squirrel-like creatures with a mohawk, flies in his chair in silhouette behind her.
CAPTAIN: You now better than anyone: if I DON’T report in, he can take over the ship remotely.
SKITTER: The Empire can do that? Fly this ship REMOTELY?
PANEL 4: NOSH, a large bumpy alien, leans in, while NANDO squints in reaction.
NOSH: Is called “Drive Recovery Protocol.” Is meant for when peoples steal a ship with a Cruz drive.
NANDO: They’re right. As the onboard Familia, I”m actually supposed to trigger it locally. But Emperors have done it remotely, in the past.
PANEL 5: From outside the ship, we see the MACHITO flying through FTL space, stars streaking by, as the ship heads toward a bright light.
SKITTER, from inside the ship: Wait wait wait. Why doesn’t the Empire just fly EVERY ship remotely then?
NOSH, from inside the ship: Is not good pilotings. THERE IS A HUGE LAG. You send signal to turn left, and like two minutes later it turn left. So steering is not comfy fun times.
PANEL 6: NOSH makes a motion of one fist punching in to another. SKITTER, in his chair, looks worried in his reaction.
NOSH: But THAT is not a problem during drive recovery protocol, because you prolly trying to fly ship into HARD-TO-MISS SPOT. …like thermo-nuclear star.
SKITTER: I seeeeeee [music note]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wdj5xqp2vansvnbxugyxujwg/bafkreiftki45tzaticomkbom74l37tjklfv47462kvrl7w5qpuazr66wau@jpeg)

![Comic. [Giant balloon reminiscent of a hot air balloon but wavy and laying on the ground with “bloop” “bloop” sound effects. Two people are in a basket attached to one end of the balloon.] [caption] Hot water balloon rides turn out to be significantly less romantic than the air kind.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreiekfxpa7ftvzd2xpsuyjv5czmrpb5ihpmvnhj3ug5gadsrbbybx6m@jpeg)
