Just a harmless giant from a foreign land.
Eh, unless biting someone in a fight is illegal, eating them in a fight is probably not either.
Eating a dead body is probably an issue.

New one, in which we learn that the Puppehs have the concept of proverbs nailed, though not exactly in the way we do:
Just a harmless giant from a foreign land.
That's kinda a shit proverb...

It's not a bad proverb, just not one that seems apropos to the situation.
It seems very on-point to me. The proverb means that the scale of the problem changes the needed solution. He is telling them "Stop trying to feed and house them here in the middle of space. Get them to a planet or large space station."

Ah. Yes, I failed to understand your pun. It is quite droll now. :)
And indeed, the proverb makes more sense now. As it stood, I was thinking of the supplies as water, not the patients.

. Got to love plans that involve gently crashing starships...
Think of the mooks!
Gentle spaceship contact? That's always fun.

That looks more like the first argument... the commodore is just wise enough to know when to accept it.

Hey, Sorlie (potentially) gets to boss around an admiral again. She's getting used to this.

Chinook's gonna be hella pissed at whoever is screwing up her targetting profiles.

Anyone else want this as a telly show on Amazon or, shudder, horrors, Netflix?

As a delivery platform Netflix is far superior to Amazon.
Bit it would be an awesome series but it would have to be heavily serialised.
I was right. Chinook is pissed. 
I should have guessed it was Petey.
Back once again at Eina-Afa with the balloons.

That's a fine defense for just killing them. No sane jury would convict him over that (though he might not get a sane jury, we'll see). The problem is the eating them. That would probably be a separate charge than killing enemy combatants.
