“And why isn’t Ruddock getting rid of these damned mice?”
Jude
Because I have a sneaking suspicion Christopher is going to make use of them further along …and I don’t mean just to entertain Ruddock, or for readers to have something to count.
RUSSELL STYLES
Because the Coyote is on the Strib ship. Not sure what he’s eating there.
Rikard
Strib on strib snark?
Strib-tease.
Pitgamer
What the Baltivaak?

“If you can SEE whether I’m singing or not, you’ve better eyes than most.”

What was the flash of light? I assume that Ruddock has some way to communicate.

Doesn’t he have that laser that he barely knows how to control?
Pete Rogan
Oh, no. No, no, no, no.
But I’m afraid — yes. It IS him. Or it.
Well played, Christopher. Going for some chips now. I think I need to hear some crunching teeth for a while.
Nice to know the “puppy dogs” aren’t paranoid.

Wait, how did Ruddock get on the Strib ship?
Carefully …
He let himself out for a walk.
Wasn’t it determined that Ruddock is female?
Goodness, was it? My impulse was to say no, but… huh. Now I’m unsure of myself. I guess I’ll go back and look. :-/
In comic, Emily and Pierrot, one very familiar with coyotes and the other an animal lover, both refer to Ruddock as “him” in the last panel here: https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2020/08/20/082020-forgiveness/
The author once commented on a comic saying, “Good boy, Ruddock.” here: https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2020/02/20/022020-where-to-wait/
Indirect evidence is that Ruddock lifted a leg to piddle: https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2020/01/09/010920-kid-kind/
– but this is a behavior sometimes observed in female canids
After having sniffed Chiphu’s crotch post-surgery, Ruddock said, “I suddenly no longer have the urge to hump your leg.”: https://www.baldwinpage.com/spacetrawler/2020/03/04/030420-back-at-the-ship/
– but again, this is a behavior observed in some female canids
