AJoIH Update
2 years ago
"There is No Place in Purgatory for War Criminals, They Go Straight to Hell" -Ukrainian Representative to the United Nations Sergiy Kyslytsya to Russian Representative to the United Nations Vassily Nebenzia February 24th 2022 0534 Eastern Europe Standard Time As you may have noticed I've gone slightly longer without posting an AJoIH page than normal. AJoIH is by far from dead and I continue to work on it, however slow it may be. THis is mainly because me and Trinity have somewhat agreed on a hiatus of the graphic novelization of AJoIH over a variety of... "inconveniences" lacking any better proper terminology. A large part that I want AJoIH to be is that, at least in the beginning where it matters, to feel like it truly can happen and is based as close as possible on real world things, from technology, to terms, and even procedures and timelines (more in terms of short individual things not an overall timeline of the story, timelines for how launches happen and things develop). Sadly however if you look into it, many things that happen in the beginning are things that can be best described in the old time military phrase of...
"Hurry Up and Wait"
Where you do something quick, wait a long period of time for everyone else and everything else to catch up and get on the same page, before continuing. One good example of this is Docking Procedure of Manned Spacecraft to the International Space Station. From the beginning of the actual procedure to being able to get crew on board, can take 5 hours, all while the spacecraft is at its furthest from the station 200 meters, with many many small individual things that have to be done. I understand that these mean close to nothing to 99.99% of readers, but it allows the inside glimpse of the "behind the scenes of Space Travel" that I want the beginning of AJoIH to be. Popular culture always glosses over the great inside of space travel, with the most given being glimpses of Mission Control when things go wrong such as "Apollo 13" or "The Martian" and "For All Mankind", with little in the ways of the science and physics. Me and Trin are working on ways to overcome this hurdle and return to getting pages out again, however with Trin getting a new job and Me climbing the ranks of the U.S. Army and getting more and more responsibility that seems harder and less likely by the day.
However, once the story is able to progress past the beginning and get to what I estimate to be about 3 or 4, things should become substantially easier as it can finally leave that "Hurry Up and Wait" phase and finally get its legs underneath itself.
Suggestions for helping overcome this are welcome and hoping yall have a great day,

Or like in Star Trek where the loading process for a photon torpedo is only shown once or twice, but starships can fire multiple torpedoes in rapid succession (or in the case of the Enterprise-D fire multiple at once). Maybe they have an autoloader, but somebody has to feed the autoloader.

OP
To be fair on that though, ships and vessels with torpedoes have multiple tubes as loading torpedoes is a long arduous task that can take many minutes, so they have multiple tubes to fire multiple at a time and/or very rapidly
