Sleuths in SPACE! by @Thorvald (El Thorvaldo)

My eighth submission to DYOS XII. [link]
Special Musical Guest: John Williams

When we last left CFCMAN, he'd arrived on Wetickra just in time to not catch the Hacker. While Huayna Capac357 hadn't been seen in years at this point, I wanted to link e350tb's Hiram arc back into the broader thread, and this courier ship (pilots still unnamed) seemed a great way to do it, literally and figuratively, under the radar. Add to that a sudden burst of inspiration regarding some other dangling threads from DYOS XI, and I realized I was on the verge of a perfect conflux to bring our amateur detective out of retirement...

This scene was fun to put together, even if coming up with a bunch of alien designs on the fly was a little intimidating. For a series that spends half its time in space, DYOS makes surprisingly little of a literal galaxy's potential of cosmopolitan convergence. If you look closely at the vidscreen in Panel 7, you might recognize the fasces of the National Party of Coruscant; the guy to the right maaaaaay be modelled on Bill Nye.
