We're back! Sickness has been purged! Plus, slowly making progress on the Legos in the basement, which have been rather strewn about.

Swiftbow: You can't expect every order or piece of dialog to appear on screen. From Part 31, you can see the Intrepid is not firing weapons after being trapped in the Slow Dimension. In Part 32, they are firing at close-range cruisers with phasers only.

BrickVoid: *Natashia sorry, fingers are butter today.

BrickVoid: I'm still not seeing where Matashia gave orders to restrict weapons use. She certainly didn't give any order to specifically restrict them. In fact, Episode 3, Part 29 has her actively giving orders to lock onto targets, in the very first panel of that comic. So I'm still not understanding where or how she had issued a "Weapons Hold" or
equivalent order, because I am simply not seeing it.

Oldrmourer: "Weapons Free" generally is used to tell a pilot/ship/unit/whoever that they can fire whatever they want at their discretion, "Weapons Hold" is generally used to order a "wait for firing order" command but target and be ready to fire. Unless they changed it over the centuries ;)

Swiftbow: She gave orders previously to restrict weapons fire because they were caught in the Slow Dimension and therefore it was mostly a waste of ammunition/energy.

BrickVoid: It just doesn't sit right with the fact that they've already actively engaged the enemy, why does Nastasia feel the need to reaffirm firing at will at the enemy, when that's what they're going to do anyway? I get it, I just don't understand the reasoning behind it.

BrickVoid: I thought that since they were already being attacked, that it was already the case that they were engaged in combat, and that it was superfluous to issue a "weapons free" command, therefore, it was instead considered a typo alert. I just call them as I see them, if it's not a typo I'll just move along now.

Swiftbow: That's not a typo. "Weapons free" means that restrictions on weapons use is lifted. As in, free to fire at will.

BrickVoid: Since the attackers are on the Intrepid, they could just lock onto them with teleporters and teleport them to deep space, or a secured area they can't get out of, without weapons! That's happened before in Star Trek, although to a lesser extent! :D

BrickVoid: Typo alert in Panel 5, line 4, Natashia's second word balloon: "all weapons free" should read "all weapons FIRE."
