In the inky blue of space [shouldn’t that be inky black? – Ed]. In the inky BLUE of space, stars twinkle, as they for eons ever have. They punctuate the monotony of nothingness and man, as he ever has, looks for meaning. He attributes shapes and mythologies and plans adventures yet it is only when he actually sets out, that the vastness of its reality breaks his reverie and he quakes at near infinities.
But that’s what ion propulsion drives are for, right?
A planet, mere AU’s away spins with clockwork precision in a place where time has no real meaning.

Meet Me At The Jump Gate is a pixel art webcomic set in the far future with Max as the main protagonist. Max hauls things from here to there for credits (in the future, be it utopian, dystopian, scotopian, ectopian or any other topian you would care to mention, they always seem to use credits or creds. Funny that) and whilst tracking the movements of a stock by haulage contractor would be of passing notice as a webcomic, our story hopefully plots a slightly more exciting path across the star chart of space.
Max escapes from Space Station Brompton1 after an attempted detainment by over zealous Security Services. As to why the aforementioned Security Services would want to detain him, he has no idea. He has a consignment to deliver and has no time for wrongful accusations, time is money. Well, actually, time is relative but there’s plenty of time for that later.
So, with a spaceship bristling with Tech, including his trusty ship’s computer, he heads off, little knowing the adventures that are about to befall him.
