Alert readers will notice that the aliens’ names are directly related to the color of their uniform. Is that intentional? Of course it is, silly! And naturally, the guys in red shirts are the ones who will die most frequently on away missions. But probably not in this comic. I haven’t felt the need to go “grim and gritty and people dying” the way many other comics do to try and relieve flagging sales. But since I’m not charging for AST, I can do what I want.
