It's Iimi! See How They Run! (Part II)

Pre-Comic Notes:

At 61 pages, this comic was too big to be shared in one post. This is Part II. If you haven't already read Part I, please follow the link HERE.

Post-Comic Notes:

One thing to remember about the timeline is the UAE and California are 12 hours apart. So, while the story takes place on March 4^th and 5^th from the perspective of Dubai, it runs from the evening of March 3^rd to March 5^th in California. (Zurich is 9 hours ahead of California and 3 hours behind Dubai.)

The Dubai to Zurich events were inspired by a real Dubai to Zurich flight I followed on a flight tracker during the scripting (I wanted to know what countries they'd be flying over). It must have been a rough takeoff. It left over an hour late, climbed to 18,000 feet, and fell to 8,000 feet before reaching cruising altitude. It apparently arrived at the Zurich terminal 2 minutes early despite that.

Zero Hour was 8:25AM (Dubai time) when the flight was scheduled to leave. The actual takeoff and arrival times were taken from the flight tracker of previous flights on the same route. I learned that flights seldom departed from DXB on time.

Believe it or not, it is possible to still get first-class tickets from Dubai to San Francisco the night before (I checked). But it was too late to get any flights leaving the same day. The charter prices were a non-guaranteed estimate based on whether a plane was available. The charter companies all had a "call to arrange and set price" on their websites, so it was probably more.
