The story here is that all the characters from "Paradise Lost" (or most of them, anyway) have moved out into space and are mapping and cataloging the Milky Way galaxy. Walt & Chely, aboard Deep Space Probe 187 (a small two-- or three--person ship, see first panel of "Enter Camilo" above), find an Earth-like planet beyond Rigel and the crew of Carolyn's J-class start terraforming the new world. But the six-hour days there are throwing off everyone's sleep cycles so Walt & Chely concoct this new scheme to slow down the planet's rotation. Kind of sort of like how our moon (which is so much bigger than other moons, compared to Earth) was supposedly acquired by something the size of Mars coming by at just the right time, hitting the Earth at just the right angle to settle down into orbit.

Anyway, that's my rant for the day; sorry for the soapbox.

P.S. More to come from this artist so stay tuned! Finally, I found someone who can draw Arial. You don't know what a trial it's been. A trial and a trail of broken tears.
