Due to family medical issues, Requiem is on indefinite hiatus.
An elderly family member of ours took a bad fall on Labor Day night, and we’ve been dealing with the aftermath ever since. Hopefully, things will get sorted out, but as of right now, doing a daily comic is not something my schedule can allow.
Sorry to have this happen, but as everyone knows, real life comes first….and at least we don’t have too many running storylines on the backburner.
Bringing House Mebhe to the Maris Islands undoes the “House” part of the prophecy; the “Heir” part had already failed when Belisarius failed to recognise Ian as the proper House Belisarius heir. The local universe may yet be saved; they just need to purge the local quantum computer of those excess 6.5 billion souls. or a substantial portion thereof.
Giving away the meta-plot
Calliel’s tertiary backup plan is still in place and Ian’s plan to infect everyone with Cobalt actually plays into it.
I can’t find the comic that referenced it on a quick search, but wasn’t there another House besides Mebhe that was based at Amon-Lanc, and completely wiped out? Something I seem to remember sticking from my last archive dive a few months back, though I’m not 100% certain on it…
The problem with dealing with intelligence types is you don’t ever get them all and “wiping the board clean” is temporary at best. The real trick is to redirect them in another direction.
