Google Translate: "Shinji says: Since this comic is set on another planet, gravity acts on the sci-fi ship. Specialized setups allow you to pretend to be weightless underwater or in a submersible, but both are difficult to do in any meaningful way.
Since e=mc2 says that mass and energy are equal, we would expect "gravity plating" to never occur. This means that a hypothetical technique that produces a strong gravitational field would require an energy equivalent to the mass that produces the same gravitational field.
So while Macro almost fell on his face, Axiom didn't fall down thanks to his plot armor. This is the height of humor."
who, what, where? i saw nobody almost fall, and Axiom is something like a hologram

Yeah, I think Shinji is a bit confused.
THe only panel in which we see a delta-V effect is panel 6 -- in which the slanting floor does seem to imply that Macro is feeling the effects of accelleration, but clearly as he is -running-, he's not feeling it sufficiently to be likely to fall!
That said, Axiom is also IN A CHAIR, so one wouldn't not expect them to feel the effects of even very fast accelleration nearly as strongly as the passenters, any more t han a bus driver will be affected by a hard stop as much as a standing straphanger!

Wow, Axiom's neck is super jagged and stretchy!
If I had to guess, Axiom was going to take their crew for a swim, but had a change of heart at the last moment. (We know it wasn't because they feared there might be some pee in the pool, from an incident we saw way back when they were introduced to us.)
Now maybe they're going to head back out into space for some reason.

My guess is that having negotiated a cease-fire with the trees, Axiom took a detour to gather the survivors of the Fides before heading back out to help the trees make the fires cease. That way _all_ the citizens on Pennsyl can get taken care of.

Silent Observer says:
Pretty sure Axiom can see that the efforts of the dreadnaught are still required for firefighting -- but it'll be more efficient/effective with a trained and experienced crew (even if their training is on newer systems, most of it will carry over and many more hands will also help).
Besides, continued firefighting aid was pivotal to the cease-fire (snicker!) with the tree networks.

@cab, I have some. It's 100% Arabica, medium French roasted. I'd share it with you but... I can't figure out how to upload it using a Mac.
My old tower PC had a built-in cup-holder, but it always seemed kind of flimsy so I never used it for much, apart from holding these small, flat poly-carbonate and aluminum foil discs with microscopic pits burned into them. It spun them and made odd whirring noises. Still not sure what it was really for. XD

I think that some time has elapsed — enough that the fires have been put out. Picking up the crew of the Fides would be next on the to-do list, given that they’re sitting pretty comfortably in the escape pods.
All pods reporting in? And the hulk of the Fides possibly salvageable? Who’d a thunk it? From that airburst, and all the fires its wreckage started, I’d figured the ship and crew were goners.
It’s impressive that the dreadnought still has a forest on top. Hopefully, that stays put; it’s very fashionable.
And now I need to find this album. Thanks! Like I didn't have ENOUGH CDs ripped and compressed so as to fit on my old iPod Femto 3 1/4 G-Plus Gold Edition.
