In the expanse of the galaxy, there is a word that sends shivers down the spines/carapaces of those who hear it:
"LAHLIA"
But what is it? I'm glad you asked...
Not So Long Ago, In a Galaxy Very Close...
Planet Earth. This is where it all began.
Anyways, about a month or so ago, I was perusing my school library's shelves for a book to read when I had nothing else to do during class. So, I searched for the right book to satisfy my cravings.

I eventually settled on this book.

This is the basic plot of the book: In a rural Minnesota town named Hopewell, a boy named Tucker Feye watches his dad disappear into a strange wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey portal on his roof, only to exit about an hour later with a strange blond girl named, you guessed it: LAHLIA!! Then they go on all sorts of crazy adventures throughout space and time.
As a Dr. Who fan, I was enthralled by the book (in fact, the author, Pete Hautman, has admitted the plot was inspired by Doctor Who!). So, when the first book ended, I read the second book, The Cydonian Pyramid, which mainly focuses on Lahlia (SPOILER: Her real name is just Lia). But all good things must come to an end, and the Klaatu Diskos Trilogy is no exception. About a week ago, I finished the last book, The Klaatu Terminus. (No spoilers for you on any of these books; I encourage you to read them yourself. You can find them on Google Play).
Seeping In
Undoubtedly, my favorite character in this temporal mess was Lahlia. Thus, I decided to spread her name across the Revolution Universe like "Bad Wolf". At first, it was with the "FORM A GROUP" curse, but I decided to have it take on a much more significant role as the password to summon Max-Σ-821, a sentient Dweeble hologram, and as part of Gloria's computer virus in parts 14A and 13B, respectively.
So, that's that. I leave you with this wonderfully drawn fan-art that I sent off to the author, Pete Hautman*:

This needs to go in the Louvre, don't ya think?

*UPDATE: Mr. Hautman has seen the picture, and he called it "great". Needless to say, I got a swelled head. :-P
I say, what ho. This is Fungus3. And Now I have all the reason to know what the BAD WOLF is Lahlia.
