If pink is an affront to your particular  sensibilities, we do apologize. If you happen to love the color, then you’re welcome.

But for real, STORY STUFF! What’s up with these Lost Ones, hm?

    It is obvious. Zap is The Maker and brethren are the fleet of genious ships, which gunner wants to have.

    They're trying to steal Daedalus (the “pink naked lady”). You have been spared the trouble of reading a few weeks back! *takes a bow*

    Whoa, you gave me an epiphany!

    Efrem's psychic power is blue, and Excelsior's hologram form is blue. If we use this as a basis for the other ships, Zap's ship would have a green computer lady, Gunner's ship would have a yellow computer lady, and Daedalus's maker has pink psychic power.

    In my opinion Daedelus and Ecelsior were ships made by Zap, who was preparing to the war.Then something has happened, so Zap betrayed Gunner, hid the ships and after that something cause the amnesia.

    A dormant spaceship AI locked away to keep her from achieving an unexplained goal.

    This could be really good, or really bad.
    Either way I'll be reading :D

    Well, she says “his brethren”, so I assume those would be other psychics. Remember that when Excelsior needed a captain it sought out a psychic. I wonder if Excelsior found Efrem too? And both Efrem and Zap ended up with Gunner…

    Great, throw another mystery at us, Naked Glowing Woman, why don't you?

    Other than that: nice art as usual. Keep it up!

    Go back and re-read what Gunner said. I have plenty of basis.

    Come on people, keep up! Apparently at some point prior to the head bands that control the psychic army some of them escaped GEF capture, Zap must have been charged with recapturing them or at least finding them. But that's still iffy. (This is Zap's ship, he is psychic, ship must find his brethren, other strong psychics perhaps. Maybe there's a whole planet full of them, like DBZ's Saiyan stuff.) See previous comments re: Zaps ship.

  • it's new stuff. there's not much more to get than what Daedelus said.

  • The first link doesn't show that it's Efrem's ship, just that he was probably the last one in that room before Kasey. (A point no one has run with for some reason)

    she's an AI. you try reprogramming someone while retaining their personality.
    hard.

  • mirrim

    I hadn't thought of potential reverse engineering. That makes sense. Garfalk's explanation too, though it depends on how you define “objectives”. If it's like “job”, then many people can change jobs without their identities being destroyed. If it's like “directives” or Asimov's laws of robotics…then yeah…you'd have some serious problems LOL. Anywhoo: question resolved. Thanks! :D

  • JamesonGrey

    Well yeah, this is the starship they're looking for, but what about the Pirates? Naveed pulled a sword on Pirates – I wanna know what happens to the Pirates! Who cares about some Lost Ones, it's all about the Pirates!

    That said, why does “Are you a starship?” remind me of little Anakin talking to Padme in Episode 1. “Are you an angel?”

    Okay, I stand (well, sit) corrected, per one of the links you posted below: http://zapcomic.com/2005/03/20080922/

    Gunner does refer to Daedelus (not by name, of course) as Zap's ship. (I did say “as far as I can remember” … :Þ )

    Still, Gunner has never shown any interest in Excelsior, other than to get aboard in order to get access to Zap, so it seems unlikely that he was ever associated with Excelsior in any meaningful way in the past …

    :)

    Wait, it just hit me (I blame it on the drugs ;) ) … Efrem was the last one in that room, and presumably did something to disable Excelsior's holographic interface. Now we see that Zap apparently did something similar to Daedelus … perhaps these are hints at some super-secret psychic conspiracy against our Sinister Serpent? Only time will tell …
