Love the lighting. Also, nice use of expository dialogue.

This has to be my favorite page in the entire comic, for a number of reasons.
1) The lighting. Is amazing. Absolutely and completely amazing, yes. It's something I noticed in your comic- even early on, you paid attention to the lighting. The colors were slightly different, depending on if it was a cloudy or sunny day, or if they were inside.
2) Like someone above mentioned, body language, and also dialog. It just came out so nicely on this page.
3) Kila! Oh my gosh, I missed her. You've been talking about conflicting personality traits recently on tumblr, but until now, I didn't realize how well Kila showed it. I mean, I knew she had a lot of different traits- she is cold and distant, but also protective of those around her; she is smart, but can also be really stupid; she is dorky at times, but also totally hardcore. I guess you can say she has a mismatch of qualities that works beautifully together. Sometimes I forget just how dark she can be. This page pretty much reminded me of that, while keeping her completely in-character by having her reveal her backstory while interrogating a box. ...You're characters are amazing, how do you do it.
4) The actually interrogating of the box. It really wasn't what I was expecting. Truthfully, I expected her to like, throw it away or something, then Pilau find it and go, "Oh my gosh it's a piece of the weapon!!1!". Expect Pilau would say that differently. Whatever.
...tl:dr, I love your comic, it's wonderful.

Ah yes, the inanimate object rant. So cautious around the rest of the world, but all walls fall around such objects....so next...I will interrogate the CHAIRS!!!

That is some sexy ambient lighting.
Some of my favorite moments in comics are when characters talk to inanimate objects like they're crime witnesses. I don't see it often, but it's quite awesome here.
Wait a minute
Kila
it's not a box
It's not even really a quadrilateral
It's like...two quadrilaterals screwed together.

Thanks!
It's a box- it's being held in place by a clamp, like a torture victim on the rack...

I like how Kila's tail puffs out like a cat's in the third panel. That, combined with the clawing gesture, successfully displays her emotion, despite her head and face not being pictured in the panel (which in and of itself is certainly an interesting compositional choice). I also like how in the third and sixth panels, Kila's angular body language contrasts the smoother body language in the other panels (along with the smooth tail), achieving a sort of rhythmic flow between Kila being collected and on the verge of losing her temper, and giving us an excellent picture of her current mental state. Whoops, started to go a bit long there. TL;DR: I love the body language on this page! Excellent work!

Thank you!
People always apologize for long comments. I love them! Too bad I can never think of long replies to go with them though :[

Heh-heh. Those damn talking boxes. (Reb Brown inside-joke.) I am LOVING the ominously, science-y green glow the thing is givin' off! Adds a really dramatic tinge to the scenes.

this scene is so awesome, I love how you are giving us a little bit of Kila's and perhaps other character's past while advancing the story, telling a joke, and showing us some of Kila's personality.
I love Rio's design as well.
And also, you make me sob a little inside, I hope I can get as good as you at this at some point in my life.

Wait a minute... I just noticed something about Rio the bat-lady. The left half of her body is a sightly different color than the right half. Is she the same person that Kila (or rather, Viktier) is talking about in panel 2?

Thanks! Is Ms. Jesmaine aware of the fact that her pilot is most likely indebted to the same person they're chasing after?

Yes, of course. That would spoil the surprise.
