Panel 1: A close-up of Alice's phone. She's visiting "Stingers Central," a Starship Scorpio fan forum.

Panel 2: Alice selects the "game romance" thread.

Panel 3: We read the comments.

POSTER: I think the key to the romance is that DEEPCORE's sim is based off Princess Nebula's textual personality in the movies and the old Gemini Paradox game for the PC.

And it accesses both your character choices and your player profile.

So you have to act like the sort of person that Nebula would date. So did she ever canonically date anyone?

Panel 4: Alice reads her phone, looking sour, the comments in a popup bubble next to her.

POSTER: Is this why Alice Ackerman is in that legal battle with Dust? Do you think she's bitter that players could date someone who looks like Brandy Waterfield, given that they broke up before she died?

POSTERS:

ugh why do you have to bring up that clown?

I feel sad for her

ugh what did Brandy ever see in her?

i know right? she's so crazy

Can we please not give that waste of space any more attention?

Panel 5: Alice is exasperated, making the "I read the comments" face.

POSTERS:

guys be nice, there has to be some readon (sic) Waterfield liked her... :/

again I feel bad for her, even though they were broken up I think Brandy's death messed her up

I think Brandy dumping her for being trans drove her nuts

riding Waterfield's coattails is literally Ackerman's entire claim to fame. she's never done anything else of importance

More like alice HACKerman.

I wish she'd just go away and let them make the damn movies, it's what Brand would have wanted after all...

ALICE: Yeah, this was a mistake.
