The moon has a 12% variance on earthward facing. If the base is near the earthshine termination shock, then earth would occasionally rise and set, both on the same horizon.

If Dave would have been a gerbil it would had been fair to ask

Now the situation’s grave!
We see Dave and Dave and Dave
As they run from all the chaos Mell has made!
And we watch as each one crawls
Thru the shafts inside the walls
As they’re hiding from the battle ‘bot brigade!
Now Dave’s telling Artie he smells like alfalfa,
Artie tells Dave, “Now that’s really uncalled for!”
Madblood’s annoyed that his scheme is destroyed!
All his plans fell through!
‘Bots said, “Who are you?”
Now it’s Mell who tells them what to do …
He’s overruled again!

Highlights: this story arc boasts “all the tender human drama of a 1980s body-swap movie“.
And also: “I have no formal art training“? That’s… a little bit surprising.

“Optimal time for panic”.

Another thing Dave doesn’t have time to ask: “Does my voice really sound like that to other people?”

Dave of course is my favorite Dave, but the other ones are cute too, although Artie should wear glasses. And For the Record the “Complain to Helen” part of the story is one of the best (that and Dave winning Lovelace)

BTW I haven’t mentioned it, but I love the Speech! Now I definitively have to watch Patton

You can kinda make it work, though; it depends on whether “Curse you, Narbon! Once again, your perfidious intern has foiled my schemes!” counts as ‘complaining’ or not.
