Comic for Thursday 4/30 (early High Res)

You can blame us for that one. Patrons get to make some of these choices, and they're not always good...

But then again, I guess we've already been over the point that Cort clearly doesn't make smart decisions, long or short term.

In this case Quel is likely right. Pretty much the entire universe is going to be after Cort at this point, due to the power he carries. Not picking a side at this point is just going to spell his death.

I feel bad for Quel. He probably honestly believes that his advice is the best for Cort, and that he can protect his friend and do what's best for him. OTOH, even the most benevolent organization is going to rip a star-destroying weapon out of any individual the first chance they get, "just to be safe"...and probably drop that individual into the nearest black hole for good measure.
