Strip 324 -- First Seen: 2009-12-10
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
Two-shot of Fiorella and Doris in the Split-Tail cabin.

Doris: So what is that thing, anyway?

Fiorella: Well, it looks like a Moai.

Panel 2
View of one of the monitors on the console, showing us for the first time what the asteroid looks like. It very strongly resembles one of the famous “Easter Island Head” carvings. We can see Fiorella's hand pointing to it.

Fiorella: Huge prehistoric carvings found on Easter Island, on Terra.

Fiorella: They look like what we saw, but a way lot smaller.

Panel 3
We see Doris in foreground right, looking thoughtfully at the monitor. In the background left Fiorella continues her mini-discourse.
Fiorella: Some people think the natives of Easter Island didn't have the technology to quarry, transport, carve and erect the Moai.

Doris: Then who do they think made them?

Panel 4
Medium shot of Fiorella, looking unsure of herself as she speaks.
Fiorella (quietly): Aliens.
