Previously on Marooned…
While attempting to send a message to Earth, John fell ill. He returned to the Martian sanctuary Vita to administer antibiotics, which made him worse. Ugo has now brought him to the Volotrum (also called The Dark Ones), his only remaining chance to be healed, where he has been speaking to “She-Who-Hears” about his predicament.
Meanwhile, Asimov and Ril got trapped in a sandstorm and had taken sanctuary inside Captain John’s ship. They have returned safely and are now awaiting the return of John.

It’s like programing a VCR.
If that’s true, he’s REALLY in trouble!

heh heh… Nice strip today, Tom.
I think it’s more like finding the fault in a circuit board assembly. The “Here goes nothing…” will then precede the touch with the soldering iron (insofar as those are still used at all).
Heh, it’s like the game Operation – don’t touch the metal edge – YOW!
Holy crow! Cliffhanger much?! Nicely done, sir.
“here goes nothing”… those are nice words to hear when you’re dying!
whoa, waitaminute, where’s her right hand in the last panel? Uh no, she did say this was gonna hurt… lol.
She seems totally in command and all knowing up until that last frame which is perfect, just the way it should be.
She said “dead or worse…” I’m late and have to press “next” to see what happenned!
