In the upcoming issue #4, it’s pretty important that Bocce (who is back on the Khoruysa Brimia) cannot get through to Roka on their comm system. But the Kaagan-Vas are able to communicate with their boss here. To explain that, I intended to point out that they have much more advanced comm technology with them. On this page, it appears in panel 3 as the gray box just behind the saddle bag that Warsaw is rummaging through. It can also just barely be seen way back in issue #2 on page 14, with Baso adding it to their gear from the lockbox. Ultimately, I decided I didn’t need to shoehorn its mention into the story just to explain a minor detail that most readers wouldn’t care about anyway. But it’s there in case anyone does care. 🙂
I think this falls under the category ‘hidden continuity’.
Fun little details you can pick up when you re-read the story and take a better look at the art work.
