Strip 328 -- First Seen: 2009-12-16
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 panel. The Moai-head asteroid is now surrounded by several ships of varioius types, with the Alpha Relentless stannding off only about 50 meters from it.

Relentless crewman: I count 37 craft in range now, sir..

Crewman: Thirty-five licensed media, two VIP yachts.

Panel 2
In the Relentless control deck, the crewman, F.O. Darling, and Captain Gondalia. Gondalia is a middle-aged East Indian, balding, pencil-moustache, wiry, exudes self-discipline and control. He is arching a disapproving eyebrow at Darling. (Don't forget, weightless environment).

Crewman: 40 craft now ...

Darling: I say we laser a couple of the newsies and the rest will scatter.

Gondalia: Are you mad?

Panel 3
Medium close-up on Gondalia, looking decisive.

Gondalia: We must regain control of the situation with minimal impact.

Gondalia: And I know just how we will do that.
