1!!Prologue
2->'''Aksel:''' If you come here, I'll be able to look after you properly!\
3'''Berit:''' I don't need to be looked after, you silly birdie!\
4'''Aksel:''' But--ah--what if...you fall down?\
5'''Berit:''' I'll get up and make myself some coffee.

8->'''Michael:''' ''[loudly and angrily]'' I demand that you call your captain ''right now'' and tell him to turn back to the mainland! I have an important business meeting tomorrow!\
9'''Signe:''' [[SarcasmMode Oh no, an important meeting? I'll call the captain right away on our direct emergency line!]] ''[picks up imaginary phone]'' Hello Captain! Oh yes I'm fine, how are you? So hey, I have a passenger here who would like you to turn back to Ystad...Oh? Oh dear, how unfortunate. I'm sure he'll understand, he seems like a reasonable man. ''[mimes hanging up]'' I'm sorry, another passenger already asked to be taken to the Bahamas, so we're heading there now. But you're next in line with your request!

12->'''Aino:''' Umm, I don't mean to complain, but did you do something weird to these pizzas? They feel a tiny bit like elephant skin.

15!!Adventure I
16->'''Councilor:''' Look, I'll be blunt with you. The one positive aspect of your silly expedition was your refreshingly low budget. Otherwise the consensus was that it serves no national good and carries a substantial risk of complete failure. Your application passed with a single vote, and I believe one of my colleagues only voted 'yes' because he lost his glasses and didn't know what he was voting for.
17-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=61 Page 61]]
18
19->'''Taru:''' ''[reducing the budget to match the funds]'' ...and that would cut the food budget in half! I'm sure they'll be okay with hunting a bit. What else?\
20'''Siv:''' I think we've already removed everything our crew would need to survive.
21-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=62 Page 62]]
22
23->'''Trond:''' Another demographic we should look into is ''desperate'' people, like the ones who were recently fired. And the ones who hate their current employers or coworkers with a burning passion. Oh yes, I'm sure the pool of people who would be ''grateful'' to be offered [[RedShirt a job like this]] is deep enough for our needs.\
24'''Taru:''' Ooh, and what about people who are extremely ''bored'' with their lives? I know where we can find people like that.\
25'''Siv:''' Our crew is just going to be a bunch of weirdos, isn't it?
26-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=63 Page 63]]
27
28->'''Emil:''' This is so beneath me!\
29'''Torbjörn:''' We're poor now, there's no such thing as "beneath us" anymore. Just sleep on the revolting sofas, Emil.
30-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=99 Page 99]]
31
32->'''Emil:''' This can ''not'' be happening! The worst first impression possible! Now they'll think of me as some sort of ''[[JabbaTableManners filthy pig]]'' for eternity! I'll never regain their respect!\
33'''Siv:''' There, there, you'll have plenty of time to make new impressions. Of course they could very well end up being lousy too.
34-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=106 Page 106]]
35
36->'''Tuuri:''' I haven't seen any children in so long, I almost forgot how cute you are!\
37'''Anna Västerström:''' You're kinda fat.\
38'''Tuuri:''' ''[smile curdles]'' I heard your parents say [[ParanoiaGambit one of you is adopted and they don't love that one as much as the other two]].
39-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=131 Page 131]]

41->'''Illness researcher:''' Results for sample 681 are in. "[[EpicFail Notable side effects include: blindness, hair loss and malignant tumors in the abdominal cavity. Did NOT work as a cure or vaccine.]]"
42-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=138 Page 138]]
43
44->'''Emil:''' You don't need to worry about him, he's surprisingly easy to communicate with. I [[LanguageBarrier haven't shared a single word with him]], yet we already [[OddFriendship get along swimmingly.]]
45-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=183 Page 183]]
46
47->'''Tuuri:''' ''[being shown the Cat-Tank]'' Well... it's pretty nice, I suppose. Could be a lot worse. ''[looks back at other, much better rides]'' Just wish I hadn't seen ''those'' first.
48-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=186 Page 186]]
49
50->'''Tuuri:''' ''[looking at family photo]'' What do you think Onni is doing right now?\
51'''Lalli:''' Crying.
52-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=189 Page 189]]
53
54->'''Emil:''' You can get bruises on your FACE?! T-there's not a risk it'll leave a scar, is there?\
55'''Mikkel:''' A scar? No, I'm more concerned about cancer.\
56'''Emil:''' W-what?! What are you saying, man! Did you say ''"cancer"?!''\
57'''Mikkel:''' Yes, yes I did. [[InducedHypochondria Without proper treatment face-bruises often turn into what we in the field of medicine call "face-cancer."]]
58-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=191 Page 191]]
59
60->'''Torbjörn:''' I can't thank you all enough for being part of this magnificent mission! But now... let's all get rich!
61-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=192 Page 192]]
62
63->'''Sigrun:''' ...and so uncle Trond saw that I was the '''[[MemeticMutation most best]]''' out of everyone there and chose me!
64-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=200 Page 200]]
65
66->'''Sigrun:''' Ever faced a troll close up?\
67'''Emil:''' Yes, o-of course... once. But it was really big, a giant! I punched it right in one of its faces!
68-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=228 Page 228]]
69
70->'''Sigrun:''' Firearms are our last resort weapon. A cold blade through the brain is just as effective as any bullet, and most importantly won't wake up the whole block. If your life ''really'' depends on it, then sure, dish out some lead. But that also means the gig is up and we all better start running.
71-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=236 Page 236]]
72
73->'''Sigrun:''' Look, Emil, that's just something you have to expect in any kind of common spaces. It's not like people crawled out into the streets to die. But you learn to ignore it, dead folks aren't dangerous. Just kinda sad.
74-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=243 Page 243]]
75
76->'''Mikkel:''' I'm quite well, thank you. ''[{{beat}}]'' We're out of food.\
77'''Everybody:''' What?!\
78'''Mikkel:''' Yes. But we do have a surplus of candles.
79-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=281 Page 281]]
80
81->'''Torbjörn:''' W-what? They didn't drop off the supplies?\
82'''Sigrun:''' One crate filled with [[MeatVersusVeggies garbage food!]] And a second one mostly filled with a PERSON who is going to eat all of it!
83-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=289 Page 289]]
84
85->'''Emil:''' The prisoner is under control!\
86'''Mikkel:''' He's still not our prisoner.\
87'''Emil:''' Wait, did you say he's ''not'' a prisoner now?\
88'''Mikkel:''' As I said before: NOT a prisoner. No. N-O!\
89'''Emil:''' [[LanguageBarrier Why--why didn't anyone TELL me?]] I wouldn't have acted this way! We're mortal enemies now!
90-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=290 Page 290]]
91
92->'''Reynir:''' Oh, no, they'll notice I'm gone soon. They'll send someone for me.\
93'''Mikkel:''' They won't. ''[explains how it'll take weeks to send a quarantine vessel for him]'' In short: you're stuck here.\
94'''Reynir:''' [[OhCrap But...but...yhhh!]] ''[slumps]''\
95'''Mikkel:''' ...What about that funny story of yours?\
96'''Reynir:''' It's not funny anymore. It's stupid. I'm stupid.
97-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=291 Page 291]]
98
99->'''Reynir:''' I'm really sorry. I promise I won't eat a lot. And if you need help washing dishes or anything...\
100'''Mikkel:''' It's quite alright, I'm capable of working around situations such as these. And in a worst case scenario we can always eat ''you''.\
101'''Reynir:''' That's...fair, I suppose.
102-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=298 Page 298]]
103
104->'''Sigrun:''' Don't worry about that. There won't be anything nesting in a place like this.''[punches fist through the wall]'' This is what we in the troll hunting business call a ''"crap building"''. Because it's complete crap, you see.
105-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=312 Page 312]]
106
107->'''Sigrun:''' It was nice meeting you all and I hope we can meet up in Valhalla to chat some time.
108-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=393 Page 393]]
109
110->'''Mikkel:''' In conclusion: you are safe unless you went ahead and licked your arm. ''[{{beat}}]'' ''Did'' you lick your arm?\
111'''Reynir:''' ... ... No.\
112'''Mikkel:''' [[SarcasmMode Well done.]]
113-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=429 Page 429]]
114
115->'''Sigrun:''' I... don't understand the question. There wasn't even a question in there! Is the question "is he a moron"?
116-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=470 Page 470]]
117
118->'''Tuuri:''' Do you ever think there might be people like us out there far, far away? And maybe they've found a book in one of ''our'' languages and they're now thinking "huh, what a weird language. I wonder if the people who spoke it are still out there?".
119-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=550 Page 550]]
120
121->'''Onni:''' And sometimes, there is simply nothing anyone can do about a bad situation. The world is a terrible place.\
122'''Reynir:''' ...I don't think I can agree with that.\
123'''Onni:''' And this is why you're in your situation. It's true.
124-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=684 Page 684]] and [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=685 685]]
125
126->'''Younger Tuuri:''' Why do you have to be a coward?\
127'''Younger Onni:''' Because I know enough to be one. [...] I know you can't hear ''them'', but ''I can''. You better trust me on this.
128-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=712 Page 712]]
129
130->'''Tuuri:''' I really thought... that it wouldn't happen. That... someone over there would be looking out for me.
131-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=745 Page 745]]
132
133->'''Emil:''' How can I even do this?\
134'''Lalli:''' By not being pathetic.\
135'''Emil:''' Good advice, thanks.
136-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=813 Page 813]]
137
138->'''Mikkel:''' You ''can't'' be a real leader if you haven't faced defeat, and proven that you can overcome it. So maybe you're right; what has happened is a test. But the actual test is right now.
139-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=834 Page 834]]
140
141->'''Mikkel:''' You isolent little ''child''! Why did you run off like that? Sigrun is already ill and you almost gave her a heart attack!\
142'''Sigrun:''' What is your problem, you brain-dead moron? You almost gave Mikkel a heart attack!\
143'''Mikkel:''' Let's not resort to hyperbole, everyone calm down.
144-->-- [[http://sssscomic.com/comic.php?page=878 Page 878]]
145
146->'''Sleipnope:''' We are not here for your ''salvation''! We are the abandoned! The unjustly suffering. And the ''world'' will be made to suffer with us! That is just! That is ''justice''! ''That'' is our path! \
147'''Anne:''' Aren't you tired?

152
153->'''Bjarni:''' Wait... decontamination showers? What was even the point of the ''[[HazmatSuit suit]]'' then?
154-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic2.php?page=14 Page 14]]
155
156->'''Árni:''' ''[Icelandic]'' You all must be in need of a room while you are here, and I have plenty of those in my home. My family would be ''honored'' to be your hosts for your stay.\
157'''Sigrun:''' ''[Norwegian]'' What's he saying?\
158'''Mikkel:''' Free lodging.
159-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic2.php?page=20 Page 20]]
160
161->'''Jukka:''' When were ''you'' thinking of finally retiring?\
162'''Ensi:''' When I have my replacement properly trained and ready! And when I'm dead!
163-->-- [[http://www.sssscomic.com/comic2.php?page=125 Page 125]]
164
165->'''Sigrun:''' Geeze, that settlement! Were ancient people brain damaged? How stupid do you have to be to try surviving this close to a city? We have those kinds of ruins all over Norway too.\
166'''Mikkel:''' Hmm. I wouldn't judge them too harshly. I assume they didn't yet know what was to come. After all, in the beginning they believed they only needed to shield themselves from a disease, and humans who spread it. By the time they found what was coming for them from the ruins they might have been surrounded and unable to resettle. Or perhaps all it took was a few infected rodents to make it past the barricades.
