In 2115, Napoleon escapes from the moon and almost conquers the United Nations of Earth before being defeated. He is then sent into the Sun, where he stays for the next thousand years.... But in the 32nd century, humanity begins extracting material from the Sun to build a Dyson Sphere, and this allows Napoleon to escape and wreak havoc once more. At this point, the Star People just give up and go "WTF?!". [[User:Jake|Jake]] ([[User talk:Jake|talk]]) 16:37, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

That would make an awesome addition to the story line. I wish Randall included that extra panel. 173.245.50.89 08:21, 10 April 2015 (UTC)BK201
So... the reason he wants to go for an asteroid is that we need the capability to send the Moon-escaped Napoleon there! 141.101.98.192 09:42, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
