Career Goals
Good news is that here is a comic, bad news is that I’m still without power, running water, internets, etc, etc, and may be like this for a few more days according to the electric company. (I look like a vagrant, but a hopefully classy vagrant). Anyways, Scout Crossing will update this week, I’m just trying to get to it with my limited workflow.
Stay safe mate. Really appreciate that you are even bothering to update when so much stuff is going on.
…I know what I want to be now! A fucking wizard! Why? Because that’s one amazing career goal. Hope you get everything back to working order soon, Scott! Also, I hope things aren’t torn apart out there.
You should make a wallpaper with the last panel or something. Without the text its a pretty sweet picture.
Nice going man, really like your work 😛
Badass last panel. She looks like she has a doctoral degree in the art of Win.
it seems like a career i could be interested in…
Turning into a black mist monster is my back-up career goal
Stay safe Scott. Your health and safety is far more important than the comic!
Hear hear!
Actually, nigh-invulnerable being with enhanced strength and speed is part of my required resources for future plans (no, I’m not kidding). The recent exoskeleton prototypes produced by DARPA are hardly sufficient for increasing safety in combat, I look forward to the day when soldiers will have the armour and firepower of a tank, while enjoying increased mobility (and yes, without being in a tank!).
If anyone of you are interested in some completely illegal myostatin inhibitor treatments let me know and I’ll process your medical history.
Yay for psycho muscles!
Also, what if the OTHER side has aforementioned tanks-suits?
A large part of the scope of work for the suits would actually be rescue, we already have robots ranging from the size of a fingernail to the size of a minivan that look for trapped or injured people. What we need is a way to safely extricate people from rubble. A think-tank I know came up with a lot of ideas during the trapped miners situation, but none of the solutions were viable with modern technology.
Also a person who’s undergone myostatin inhibitor treatment would not have “psycho muscles,” the mice and dogs who have muscles sometimes 4 times as large as normal also have 50-80 times the amount of myostatin in their body in the first place, therefore inhibiting it has a bigger effect. The myostatin inhibitor treatment would actually be part of a project to allow soldiers to fight at older ages: imagine a world where you could fight like a 40 year old when you were 80!
I’m sorry I was so vague in my prior post, I had been up for 58 hours (not kidding) rebalancing the books so we could squeeeeze (just barely) a couple of new CX1s into the budget. We needed them so we could do more complex modeling, in less than a couples of months. My sleep deprivation irritation isn’t helped by the fact that the people at Cray Inc. are bl**dy annoying to work with.
I feel our pain Scott…Irene may not have hit me -as- hard (I managed to keep my power) but I was without cable or internet for the last 3 days…the only information I had on the safety of my friends was the radio (quite olden-tymey) and any who were able to call me (thankfully I keep my phone on a different company than my TV and Internet, otherwise I’d have been without that too.
As many other fans have said, stay safe good sir! And stay dapper all more importantly! For a day when Scott is not dapper is the start of the end of days.
Don’t worry scott, as my friend said “Irene is nothing more then a dirty slut.”
Hey scott not sure if you heard of them before but I thought you’d probably like this video.

The mysterious changing bust strikes again!
Would it be rude of me to project a rumination of an assumption as to the resolution of this fine complication?
i believe the curse will be broken by the spectacular performance which is happening henceforth, ergo saving EVERYBODY and making nigel happy and human
For about five minutes before Teryn’s dad beats his 100+ year old face in with a simple jab.
Seriously, stay safe Scotticus, It’ll be rough, but you will make it. When Katrina happened 2005, half of my family was unreachable for nearly two weeks, then a few years later Ike hit us and we lived without almost everything but well water for a week. It’s a scary bit of time, but you will pull through.
Stay Safe, Scott. Don’t want ya doing this if it’s too dangerous.
But seriously, Thank you for doing this. You’re in the middle of a power outage, with little to no utilities, and what do you do? You Update Nerf-This. Scott, you are one awesomely cool person. Thank you.
High five?
I’ve seen way too much hentai to know where this is going.
Oh Scott, don’t be apologizing for a damn hurricane! You can’t control the weather. So, it’s much more important that you are safe and not dead in a tree somewhere. Hope you stay safe Scott, and thanks for updating amidst all the crazy shit Irene has dragged up.
scott i’d help you out if i could, we were lucky, irene only messed us up for 12 hours… and i live practically next to the water
I love the unique sound effects you find here — J’CHIFF!
Stay safe!!! You are awesome for keeping up with the comics while all of this is going on. 🙂
Scott, you should get this:

Holy smokes your hired!
He is cursed? What is this madness?
Vagrant. Oh how I love that word.
Huuuhh. So, becoming a black mist monster with 20 eyes is NOT a solid career goal?
… I need a back up plan.
Hm.
He really needs to think about updating his resume.
Keep safe and warm Scott! I half plan on seducing and marrying you one day, which I really can’t do if you get crushed by a falling telephone pole! Great comic though!
Taryn has some breast droopin goin on. Like a anime warrior chick.
well yeah, that was MY career goal..
Last panel, textless, as a wallpaper-type.
