As of 8 June 2010, action has resumed at the beginning of a new chapter, in Tsuirakushiti, where a bunch of red-shirted ensigns are trying to figure out what to do about the "thing" that has forced its way into the place where Meji is being held. The "thing," of course, is Nookie, who wandered the city (rather ... quickly ...) looking for Meji, and on finding her, wiped out a pair of golems that one of the red-shirts ill-advisedly tried to use to stop her. (The term "small but mighty" applies to Paedagogusi in spades.)

There exists some question, however, as to exactly what it is that Nookie has homed in on. There's a disturbing amount of blood emerging from the unconscious Meji's nose and mouth (and, according to Ellis, other orifices as well -- don't go there...). At the same time, she's had what looks like an out-of-body experience talking to a couple she ran into on a featureless white plane -- one of whom looks like an older, mini-skirted version of herself, the other a splitternacht Ian Samael. They've at least reassured her that she's still alive, but clearly the whole story here hasn't been told yet.

Of the real-world (sic) Ian, no news; presumably he's en route to Praenubilus Astu, carrying Anita, a resigned Paul, and other Ensigerum monks on the sheared-off top of a mountain. He'll be heard from again, soon.

In news from outside the story, Poe and Impy have announced that the comic will be cutting back on frequency for a while as it approaches its inevitable conclusion (and as Poe starts working on what comes next). Comics will be posting on Mondays and Thursdays for now, rather than Monday, Wednesday and Friday. As compensation, there'll be little extras from time to time, the exact nature of which is still up in the air. Stay tuned.

In news of the wiki itself, almost all the pages seem to be displaying archived episodes properly now, although there might be some stragglers. And of course, Errant Road is still chock full of adventures and curious characters.
