Pulse 406 (Patreon)

Mira returns.  Hasn't appeared awake since page 217 in 2014.

I figure when they turn on, they make a tone, just like the old Apple computers.

This scene with her will probably only last a few pages and then go to Annie to finish out the chapter.  My goal with Mira here is to have her deal with the aftermath of the sleepwalker arc on her team.  Arim is wrecked, and there are complications in several senses to repairing her- and Evilyn is missing.  She'll have to navigate and try to fix those things, and also I feel like I have to try to make the reader like her.  I've spent the whole comic so far making the reader dislike her, and now I have to start bending the curve into making the reader like her.

First time I've ever drawn either Mira or Arim in pants.  I used to have a rule that they were always in a dress or skirt, but I've broken it here.
