I was hoping for a surprise when I clicked Asahi NicoSeiga, but alas, the manga wasn't there

Spoiler for Odette II:

Hmm? Regarding the design for Odette II (White Swan) from the novel. Jacky said he needed the Odette II for her monomolecular crystal mast used on the bowsprit. Monomolecular crystal which formes the plasma crystal is suitable to accumulate high density energy and direct it to the target of Stellar Slayer (the originally intended weapon, not the supernova bomb).

Kinda hard to imagine how it would work if there is a Season 2 of the anime.

p.s Damn it my University's subscription does not cover the contents for Plasma Crystal at IEEExplore

I chuckled a bit when Kenjo asked the girls their opinion about what Jacky said to them regarding about the switching side from the Rebel Army, selling the weapon etc.
Gruelle, Rin, and Chiaki: "It's a trap, right", "I think it is a trap", "It is obviously a trap".

Spoiler for Come See The Dancing Stars:

It reminds me when Alex was trying to outrun Jumping Jack Flash and his Viper ship at the start of Hoshi no dance wo Mi ni Oide.. He asked his men, and they said "It's a trap", "A trick", "It's a camouflage, right?", "Obviously it is a trap".

Not to mention the ships warped out at Pirate Route (Corridor West 22). In this timeline, the galaxy was yet to be unified by the Empire. In the prologue of MiniPi vol 1, Princess Apricot warped out at Corridor West 37, which Kane told the two women in the cocktail dresses that in the past, the space was known as Pirate Route.

Recently I re-watched The Wrath of Khan, The Seach of Spook, and Star Trek 2009, and I'm emotionally compromised when Spook said his famous words, "I have been and always shall be your friend". I wonder when Chiaki is going to say that .
You could say that Methuselah in MiniPi is the equivalent of Vulcan. Sadly, Chiaki doesn't have pointy ears (BBA-tachi have them ), and is is not clear if Nora is her mother. If she is, then Chiaki should be half-Methuselah.....wait how does that even work?

In recent Sensei's tweet, he said he would like to work faster this year. Other good news is that HoshiPi reprint vol 2 and vol 3 are scheduled for February and March releases.
