In this episode, the first of what you’d call the second season of our show, we had the chance to reconnect with familiar characters. Colin 235F, the Ingeni-Web Node from a universe several light years away, sent us another message, asking to connect with our favourite Ser’Lidin Xenoanthrologist, Tev’Dilar. Which was a great coincidence, as were just considering adding new supporting roles to the Future Diaries Crew, and Tev’Dilar would be a perfect MWWW Quilter!

Colin 235F is...not human. Reaching out to us from planet Kepler-452b in the year 3535, Colin has a very interesting story to share, from a very different side of the multiverse.

Penny Wilson lived the last days of her life in New Brisbane, on land. But that wasn’t always the case. For centuries, humans lived underwater, in Sub-Acquatic Salvation Project (SASP) colonies, after what they called the Great Conflagration made life on land impossible.
