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!

Pablo: Emily, how about we dispense with formalities?
Pablo: I'm Pablo, you get addressed as 'Emily, and witnesses will be called by their Christian names.

Panel 2
Pulled back to see the screen from behind Pete and Naveed.
Pete: Ouch! Back on Terra that'd get him a PC citation and fine.
Naveed: Shh!
Pablo (OP): I have asked Emily to recount the events leading up to the fatal shooting of Sv Sherwood.

Panel 3
Cut to inside the court room. To left side of the frame is Pablo, sitting behind his desk and facing the audience. To the right is Emily Rose, now standing up.
Pablo: Then to state why she does not believe she should be assessed any damages for fatally shooting Sv Sherwood.
Pablo: Okay, you have the bully pulpit.

Panel 4
Angle the camera so we're looking over Pablo's shoulder at Emily. We can see some people in the gallery seated behind her. Emily is looking confused. Some of the audience are smirking at her.
Pablo: That means you have the floor, Emily
Emily: Oh ...
