We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

Why would they have been expected to try to dock under such circumstances?

They announced to come in "hot", and will not sway from their path... http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider135.html
Still, an interesting maneuver. I wonder if the shuttle will cut power and pretend to be "debris", in a hope to avoid attracting attention from the Umiak.
Still, not a very fair maneuver to the station.... Shielding the missiles from defensive fire....

page 140 is out.
Shuttle is out. Station seems to be gone. From here, the story can go multiple ways.

This chapter runs since page 92, which has been published on 1st of August 2011. You'll be looking at something like 1 chapter per decade... Currently, the whole story forecasts 7-8 chapters (and we're still in chapter 2). (Chapter 1 started 30 May 2002) There has been some fun on the outsider forum projecting when the comic might end. I might need to free some budget to support the creators patreon, to help get the story moving.

There are two more finished pages, for his patreons already. For once, Francis decided to not update en bloc, but either weekly, or every two weeks. His forumites hope that'll allow him to finish another page before the stack is out,...

And the next page is up. http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider149.html
Due to server issues, the forums of that comic are down. The creator is expecting a server rollback, and therefore the page might disappear again for a while, until he brings it up again.

Nice, page 150 is now up too, And one panel of the next page was shown in the WIP thread already. No background to be rendered, so it goes fast.
Apparently the comic always stalled when a new setting appeared, as Mr. Francis makes the setup and then renders it from different angles.... And that always takes a lot of time, reducing his motivation...
Enjoying the current speed for as long as it'll last.

Believe it or not, yesterday page 151 went up. 4th week in a row!
By content not much. Yes, we Humans do have a nakedness taboo.

So, first lesson when dealing with computer security: never open attachments from unknown, unsollicited, or unexpected sources!
But in this specific case? I wonder if I would not start that smart chess program, that's been able to understand my language despite first contact, been able to analyze my hardware so that it can send me something, and that could bypass the "fly mode", and yet was not able to autostart itself....
