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
Tall, skinny panel. Exterior shot of the North Pole Towers, one fairly close, the other a few klicks in the distance. Shadows are very long
Caption: The duel was to take place at 'Sherwood Forest,' a tree farm located near the top of NoPoTo#1 (North Pole Tower Number 1).
Caption: The mag-lev train conveying Pierre and Guy was on time, and they arrived at the farm at exactly 2.50 VMT.

Panel 2
Wide panel. In the left foreground, Pierre and Guy stand before Anton Sherwood -- a very tall and stout fellow with bushy red hair, eyebrows and beard, who is greeting them. In the right background stand Henry, Suki, and Pablo Rosenberg. The scenery around them is mostly large (20 cm thick) and very tall bamboo, some shoot stretching up to 150 meters tall.
Anton: Greetings! I am Anton Sherwood and this is my Forest.
Pierre: Ah ... good day to you, sir.

Panel 3
Anton turns to walk towards the other party assembled, motioning for Guy and Pierre to follow. Pierre cups a hand to his face and whispers to his cousin.
Pierre (whispers): I half expected him to introduce himself as 'Little John.'
