So it looks like word of Maxima's stunt with the Fel has spread. I guess I could leave you guys speculating as to why aliens want to kidnap and auction her off, but... I mean, come on. It's that or some Ferengi wants to press his Latinum into her Gold. Ew.
Eeyuh. I just gave myself the willies.
You do have to admit, it's pretty ballsy trying to capture someone who one-armed a battlecruiser. But "Fire Third Eye Demon Thing" whose race I have yet to name (see previous appearance of a different girl) is right. Someone out there would probably pay a lot to control/study/recruit Max.
I know I've already gone on at length about the economics of post scarcity societies where only energy, information and entertainment would be of much value, so when "FTEDT" says "billions" that's just a convenient translation to benefit you guys. She's really talking about lots of energon chips, dessert schematics for food replicators, and digital files for Game of Thrones, Dexter, True Blood and Heroes, all minus their finals seasons of course.
Ray sometimes has some semi-laudable aspects. If he didn't, he'd never have anyone to regret making certain mistakes with him. He's normally sleazy, usually an idiot, but sometimes he's a hot idiot. Thus; mistakes. That usually only happens when he can keep his mouth shut for more than two minutes at a time, so it doesn't happen often.
Take this scene for example. If Dabbler and Cora didn't hear him mutter the "without cutting me in" line, his intervention with the mercs might seem... a little macho. Like, in a good way. But also aggravating, since he's butting in on them doing their job. Well, on Dabbler doing her job, but Cora's never said no to adding downrange ordnance to whatever Dabbler is shooting at. If they did hear him... we don't know about Cora's hearing, but we do know Dabbler has, well, huge ears. So, if they did hear him, then the "I'm disgusted with you and will you put on a shirt you heaving pile of man-beast fine but I'm only showering with you to conserve water so keep your hands mostly to yourself." possibility opens up. As I said. Mistakes.

I appreciate how the hair grew proportional with him, as well.

Well what they know was only a portion of what they could do and most of them were pretty straight brute types or attack types so if statis field would work on Max surely it would work on others. What they didn't see were the tricky types like Halo and Dabbler who are the real threat in these kind of situation. I mean If halo opens a forcefield around there no one is leaving and she can use tentacle orb that thing still has tens of tons of lifting power not to mention squeezing :P

I love Dabbler's expression in the final panel.

I new that outfit looked familiar. βI am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it further.β Landork Calsleazian, callback.π

"Oh, and Hanover? Goodbye."

Shades of Hanover Fist! I always liked Captain Sternn's line: "Relax - I got an angle."

I'm thinking more likely a halo shield intervention, or a molestorb wrestles away the gun.

I imagine Cora would have to in the event of a fight breaking out on her own ship.

I wager an internet dollar on 'C: Deus has a 'small' bounty out on her, to show off Earth heroes (and to watch her fight.)' Not the most likely of results but the thought pleases me.
John Fiala
Well, as the person in charge of the tour group, it is sort of his responsibility to deal with any misbehaving tourists. And he did!
Ben Nikel
Lol, sleazy hulk! I like how his hair got messed up when he dialed his strength up.
Richard Riley
"fine but I'm only showering with you to conserve water" *snort* Love it. :)
BJ
Nah, he's about to get a hefty Earth-fine. Dabbler's about to be her heroine.

Oh my God, he's gonna be her HERO!

I don't think they intend to make a sex slave of her. You know how constant a control that would take? I'm guessing either (a) they want to put her in cage matches or (b) they think she's real gold and want to melt her into ingots.

$5 says she breaks out of that stasis beam in the next comic or two. And she will be PISSED.
FeyOne
These mercs are about to get a serious lesson in how outclassed they can be by earth supers. And that's not even thinking about the beat down that Cora and Dabbler will end up putting on them.
akrasia
We know Dabbler has specifically prepared for minimizing collateral damage in fights, I wonder about Cora?
Thisguy
I get that Max is in a league of her own, but these mercs must be pretty confident about abducting Max on a ship that isnβt theirs, in the vicinity of a half dozen other militant supers.
