SONAIS 221 - Tuesday, December 2, 2025 link
Strip 221. It is becoming obvious that the museum will not offer much in the way of answers about the state of the future.

Heidi (whispering to Max): I'm curious about the 13 months, but, asking that might make him too suspicious to keep buying the ‘Belgium’ excuse…
Max: I have heard rumors though that Belgians do count with 13 months.
Heidi: Such weird people…

Steve points to a statue of a sterotypical alien with big black eyes.
Steve: I see an alien displayed here. Is that the explanation for “The Event?”
Alfred: One possible explanation, but I do not believe in it. Yet, I do like ‘The X-Files.’ We never found any shiny disks of the last seasons though.
Steve: From what I've heard, I think it is better that way…

Alana: We haven't learned much so far, have we? Only that something went severely awry, it seems not too long after our present time. I still do not even have a clue what year this is supposed to be in our own calendar.
Heidi: I guesstimate at least 100 years after our time.
Adil: What I learned: the future sucks.
