Overwhelming Power

Some of you observant pioneers speculated some time ago that the spiky fruit growing on this planet absorbs and attracts electricity from the regular lightning storms. Rosemary made the same observation in yesterday's strip—and now Captain Carter has practically confirmed it the hard way. It looks like Rico is in a pretty tough spot himself.

Next week, the action continues as Rico struggles for his life and Rosemary takes matters into her own hands. Don't miss it! -e

When you're hit by lightning or consumed by some alien, Borg contraption, it never ends well.
Only the author can save them now!
Well, more likely the critter will suddenly sense Wells' tampering and head back to base in a hurry, leaving Rico convinced that he's beaten it until Wells (if she survives) inevitably deflates his ego at a later time. :P So I speculate!
Hopefully that's the low amperage variety of body-flinging electricity.

Interesting artistic parallels between the creature's breath and the torti-ghosts.
What a shocking development!!!

Oh, he'll be fine.
