Howdy, New Readers! Thanks for reading Exiern!
Written by Scott T. Hicken with art by Antipus, the comic updates Thursdays. Please check out the Archive to enjoy the earlier adventures of Typh and Peonie!
Exiern contains mature themes and is best for readers 18+.
I suspect we will now find out what Typh’s assignment from the King is — or at least the cover story that they agreed to — the one after the banishment cover story, that is — assuming there isn’t a third cover story to hide the King’s true objective. This could take awhile.
No, we aren’t going to get everything that Typh is doing here, it still too early to revel it yet. what we going to get is, one of many cover stories that was decided between the King and Typh before this whole affair started and what her true mission is. The cover story between Gauden and the King is that Typh is there to protect her and she will do that to some degree, but, that all that Gauden knows about Typh true mission. Now Typh is going to reveal some of her true mission on a need to know basses with each cover story she tell us, with this being the first cover story she telling. So we can expect maybe two or three more cover stories in the future when Typh needs to inform or tell people in the future too. We won’t get the last cover story of what this is all about until we get to near the end of this story arc. We aren’t any where close to that end yet, so we aren’t getting final cover story yet of what really going on.
Captain Ruh Roh is aboutto learn that, just because she is the captain of her boat (deliberately typed) doesn’t mean much in the wider world (which is everything not covered by her dinky-dinghy)
A Captain on her ship is the absolute monarch of said ship. If an Admiral is aboard said vessel, the Admiral can give an order to the Captain – but if the Admiral and the Captain give conflicting orders to a midshipman, the midshipman is obliged to obey the CAPTAIN. (Which a smart Admiral will of course already know, which is why a smart Admiral will not make such a mistake in the first place)
Compare this to Star Trek: TNG. If Picard had an elite special agent sent directly from Starfleet HQ to be transported by the Enterprise… Picard would not tolerate this kind of crap. In fact, they DID occasionally have elite operatives and special envoys sent directly from Starfleet HQ to be transported by the Enterprise, and Picard never did tolerate this kind of crap.
Or to put it another way, if the King wants to reprimand Captain Roh for enforcing discipline on her ship and exercising her own discretion, he can come do it in person. Until then, Typh is about one more “I don’t have to respect anyone else but you all have to respect me” away from spending the duration of the voyage in the brig.
I like Roh, and I suspect Typh does to. Typh has a low threshold for bullshit. Roh, unlike Galden has shown a low threshold for bullshit. She neither gives it OR takes it.
“You’re in jail!”
“Your FACE is in jail!”
“You cheated!”
“Your FACE cheated!”
“Huh…?”

Unless, now that she is out of the country, it would be helpful to the mission for the captain to know what the mission is…
…
Nah.
Helpful to the captain? Yes! Helpful for Gauden to overhear? Not so much.

Doesn’t change the fact that off their ship, they are nothing, it’s why you rarely saw Piccadilly off his precious space boat
