THE RANT:

Hello everybody, and welcome to the first episode of _Impraxisal_, a screenshot comic in the world of _EVE Online_. This is in the vein of comics like _DM of the Rings_ and _Darths and Droids_, although _Impraxisal_ isn’t a campaign comic like those are.

Since you never actually see anybody’s face in _EVE Online_, the backgrounds will consist purely of beautiful nebulae, space stations, and epic space battles. Character identification is done by a combination of the colours of their speech balloons (which correspond to the Empire faction they are a part of - green Gallente, blue Caldari, red Minmatar, and yellow Amarr), and the font used for them. Unimportant NPCs get a white balloon and a generic font. If you’re having trouble telling who’s who, check the transcript, it includes the character’s names.

Also, since you never see anybody, there will be a lot more “unsound effects”, describing what’s going on. I’ll try to keep these quite brief.

EDIT: please excuse any spelling mistakes. My kitten really likes my keyboard.

TRANSCRIPT:

CAP: C’mon! Can’t you just give me a new ship?  
BROKER: I don’t know, Cap. Considering the debt you’ve already got…  
CAP: Well, I can’t pay off that debt without a ship, can I?  
BROKER: … fair enough  
BROKER: I have a ship I can loan you. It’s relatively cheap, but it’s a bit of a fixer-upper.  
CAP: How cheap are we talking?  
BROKER: 70 million ISK  
CAP: That’s _ **cheap** _?  
BROKER: It is for a 400 million ISK Praxis, all fittings included  
CAP: … I don’t really have a choice, do I?  
SFX: Key toss  
SFX: More debt  
BROKER: Hire an engineer
