The Nightdimple Comic Strip

Cast:

   Lieutenant Nightdimple is a mote - a sentient artificial entity created eons ago by an extinct race for use as a remote data gathering unit. He is now an independant being and is a security officer in Starfleet. He is a dark blue black sphere about 4 inches in diameter. He is composed of partially collapsed matter, is virtually indestructable and absorbs energy directly from almost any energy source, the stronger the better. He can generate tractor and pressor beams to manipulate objects. He wears a harness of red straps to carry his micro-tricorder, communicator, and other tools and has a small vehicle (seen at right) of his own design to carry objects around (in this case his pet spider).

   Ensign Georgette Spinner is an Arachnian, a race of large intelligent spiders. She is a genetics expert in Starfleet. Arachnians look similar to earth jumping spiders, but are about 3 feet long as adults.

   Ensign Fingerbutt is a male Arachnian serving on another ship.
