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.
So, to me it looks like Ian’s plan is something like lure “Dehane” (somewhere around) here using Talia (and her family?) as bait and then set off a pre-emplaced nuke while teleporting away … and possibly nuking the rest of his allies and known haunts for good measure?
If so, will that leave a diverse and large enough population to survive without severe inbreeding, or is the next stage to figure out a way to contact the homeworld or other human colonies and recruit immigrants?
Also it seems to me that a planted nuke probably has a smaller time lag than a massdriver and given all the (known and unknown) unknowns an EMP for free can’t hurt …
