As you've gathered, we've hopped back to the Christina & Descartes story here for a little while during the Holidays. These events aren't happening simultaneously (whatever that means in a time travel comic) with the events in the main numbered episodes, but they are canonical, which will become important later. For those who want to read the whole Christina story, either check out the Specials in the archives or click here for the beginning of each cluster!

Part I: Tertiary Crankshaft's Botched Heist.
Part II: Christina and Descartes Head West.
Part III: Begin the Invasion (which you just read!)

- Count Dolby von Luckner
