Nebula and Tony spent at least 22 days in space... of which we got to see only about 1 (heartwarming) minute. So I tried to doddle Nebula’s captain log, with various degrees of details, care and success... Since I can’t really write but manage to draw ok enough to convey what I want in quick doodles, I settled on a sort of comics-strip-with-longer-description format.
FYI, Nebula does record a captain log: the very long, detailed description of the main event of each day is actually written under each picture. Each entry just describes the main occupation of the day mind you. I mean, they probably played paper football everyday from when Nebula learnt to the day the lights went out.
Summary right below, and bit more details (with my limited English, it’s all over the place but I did my best to add fun complements to the doodles) about each day in the individual posts linked at the end.
Day 1: Nebula and Tony fly away from Titan aboard the Benatar ASAP. Destination: Terra (C53) aka Earth.
Day 2: Nebula finds Tony passed out, victim of an infection from his wound. She decides to try and save his life.
Day 3: Nebula installs Tony in Peter’s and finds a picture of Gamora. She keeps it with her.
Day 4: Tony gets better and insists Nebula listens to some good Earth music. Tony likes Quill’s playlist, Nebula is a bit more skeptical.
Day 5: Tony asks Nebula about Gamora, whose picture she put on a shelf in the living quarter. He talks to her about his own brother, Rhodey.
Day 6: Engines come to a stop. They spend the whole day repairing the propulsion systems. All the efforts just buy 2 days worth of flight time.
Day 7: Nebula asks for a demonstration of the nanotech armor. She’s impressed. Tony promises to give her a small case implant when they reach Earth. At the end of the day, the engines shut down.
Day 8: Nebula stands by Tony as he watches a video of Peter that the suit recorded when he came to help in NYC.
Day 9: To keep their brain -‘biological or otherwise’- busy, Tony and Nebula play games.
Day 10: After she learned to have fun, Nebula decides Tony should learn a new skill as well, like wielding a sword.
Day 11: After two entertaining days, Tony insists they take a picture with the nanotech helmet. He wants a souvenir from the trip. See after credit scene for the result.
Day 12: The Benatar passes through an active warzone. Nebula is wary they would meet militia ships, the kind that take no prisoner. So they shut all the power down and wait.
Day 13: Tony and Nebula feel confident enough to get all the power back up. A high voltage surge through Nebula’s arm disrupts her robotics. Tony offers to help with the reparation. He owes her.
Day 14: The heating system is shutting down. Nebula gives Tony one of Gamora’s jacket as this of Quill is way too big.
Day 15: The Benatar drifts by a giant cluster of new born stars. Tony introduces Nebula to the concept of a dinner date (between friends).
Day 16: Tony and Nebula find one of Groot’s video games.
Day 17: Nebula realises Tony has nightmares, just like her.
Day 18: Tony and Nebula build a robot to fetch the last bit of food they can find, that the fox stashed in a narrow air vent. Nebula lets Tony eat it all.
Day 19: The lights shut down. Tony and Nebula have a chat.
Day 20: Tony teaches Nebula to dance. With discoball-nano-helmet.
Day 21: Tony and Nebula hole up in the least freezing place of the ship, the maintenance room of the still-cooling down thrusters. Nebula finally has a nap.
Day 22: Oxygen is about to run out. Nebula puts Tony in the pilot’s chair for him to die the more comfortably possible.
Day 23: Vers has found the ship following the fox’s instruction. A few hours from before the oxygen levels reach critical level with regards to Tony’s health, she brings Nebula an emergency oxygen tank found in an abandoned ship.
Day 24: Captain Marvel lands the ship in the Avengers facility on Earth.
‘After credit’: Five years later, Nebula is about to leave Earth once more, with Quill and the Guardians, to search for her alternate sister. She reminisces. See Day 11 for when the picture was taken.
