4 Panels.
Panel 1:
Mikhail carefully detaches the cables from Frank's crown. Maili approaches Frank with the cup of hot coffee. Frank is smoking.
Mikhail: 'Ours' as in who? The Medita empire? Or the Ancients?
Frank: Thank you, Maili.
Panel 2:
Frank stares at Mikhail and he's looking very much not amused. Mikhail returns the same look.
Frank: The concept felt way broader than that, Mister Damless Engineer.
Panel 3:
Part of the crashing site is visible behind Nikita, who puts a hand on his hip. Mikhail is grumbling something.
Nikita: How does this affect our situation?
Panel 4:
Franquelim is holding the cup of coffee and behind him we see figures of the stars and a satellite.
Frank: While the satellite is still important... Whatever this other thing is.. Has made our God much more interested.

“yours” as in humankind, maybe…

aaahAAA, it’s called the nedita empire! I’m SURE i missed it, i was on the lookout for its name ever since hearing that nikita was essnentially sold into child-soldier slavery (woof.)
I love these lil hints we get every so often about their society and their god. The concept of a god that isn’t all-knowing (or at least doesn’t seem to be based on this page) and wants to learn more about the aliens along with their subjects is rlly neat!
Aha, no, you’re right, it’s the first time time the empire gets mentioned by name! (I think I talk more about it in the future and also in the extras section, it just didn’t make much sense for them to be talking about it right now
“curious” gotta be the best word to describe their gods, yes
