Strip 276 -- First Seen: 2009-10-05
Escape From Terra is updated with new pages every Monday through Friday.

What Comes Next

The war is over, but This Means War has a ways to go. Novo Paolo/Bubbleopolis is still in a nebula/stellar nursery, no one knows what happened to the planet Sharen (center of the Intergalactic Council), and the status of the now-surrendered Invaders is yet to be resolved. What will they do when they learn their homeworld is basically destroyed? Will Alyss and Li be re-united? How about Diana (the real one) and Otto?

These questions will be resolved in the next few weeks, before This Means War part 3 wraps in late May.

After that, I plan to go BACK in time about 400 years, to when Alyss and Li left their home in the Sol System to colonize a new world on the far side of the galaxy. As one might expect, hijinks ensue. New subtitle yet to be determined, start date sometime in around the start of July. Stay tuned!

The Transcript For This Page

Panel 1
Large square panel, exterior of the Array station house. The Transport which Reggie and Irina have been travelling in has snuggled up to one of the two transport airlocks, to one side. To the other side is another transport airlock to which is attached a smaller transport vehicle.

Reggie (from inside their transport): Someone else here?

Irina: No, is the Emergency Transport kept permanently here. Just in case.

Panel 2
Interior of the station house; Irina indicates a small console near the inner airlock. It includes something that looks like a 1970s-style telephone handset, with a curly cord attached, resting in a cradle.

Irina: Here is emergency comm intended only for real emergency. Just in case.


Panel 3
Two-shot of Reggie and Irina. Reggie is looking a bit uncomfortable. (He needs to go.) She grins wryly and points off-panel to the right.

Reggie: And, er, the toilet?

Irina: Accessed directly from sleeping room.

Irina: Just in case.
