Strip 455 -- First Seen: 2010-06-04
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!

Panel 1
Robyn and Sajjan stand next to another closed airlock door. There's a light flashing on a small panel next to it.

Sajjan: Only 10% atmosphere on the other side of this hatch.

Robyn: Let's get our helmets on and cycle this airlock.

SFX: (a bit louder) BA-WOOP!

Panel 2
Now fully protected, Robyn and Sajjan approach a somewhat larger airlock door.
Robyn: I think this is where that klaxon is.
Sajja : That's the guards' lounge..
SFX: (fairly loud now) BA-WOOP!

Panel 3
Standing inside the somewhat larger airlock. A row of lockers can be seen blocking the inner hatch. The hatch is partly closed on the lockers.Air is rushing through but not as strongly as we saw in Norman's apartment airlock.
Sajjan: Well, there's your problem right there.
Robyn: What the hell?
Panel 4
Sajjan muscles the hatch to full open.

Sajjan:Ok, you come here and hold this hatch open while I move these lockers out of the way.

Panel 5
Robyn stands by the hatch, holding it flat against the wall, while Sajjan muscles the lockers over the hatchway lip and into the lounge area.

Caption (Robyn): 'On Earth, it would've taken two or three strong men to move those lockers, but in Luna's gravity, Sajjan, managed it without much trouble.

SFX: (fairly loud) BA-WOOP!
Panel 6
Robyn standing by the hatch, still holding it open, peering through the open hatchway (at this angle we can't really see much through the hatch.

SFX: (fairly loud) BA-WOOP!

Panel 8

SFX: (klaxon interrupted, hatch slam) BA-CLANG!
