It's the year X52.

Avi's adventures as a travelling reporter have been running in the newspaper for a decade.

In that decade, she's had eight more encounters with Aquila, and then, in a tenth and final encounter, Aquila... says goodbye. "For now." But Avi disagrees, and, putting hints and clues from ten memorable encounters together, decides to find Aquila.

After a long, arduous journey, Avi find herself lost at sea. And then, after seven days, out of supplies, her last flare long shot...

What follows is two consecutive strips printed in an imaginary national newspaper in the summer of X52, which in actuality, of course, never could have happened.
