Been a while since I came to chat, but the current comic made me want to put down a guess.
The destruction of the DFA Kill Sat was only half the plan.
Riff is Kidnapping Deadalus, he knows all about Oasis and has reason to sing like a canary.

The points are yours thom! I feel like someone should've called that it was specifically the EMP bombs though. In hindsight, Pete set that up really well.
[EDIT] Also, I've decided to make a weird probably-wrong prediction that the 11/11 comic is actually the last one of the chapter, even though it ends on a cliffhanger which almost never happens.

Well, I got 'Plan B' and that it involved Chen communicating. :-)
I think the next one will show us what the verbal cues from Theresa and Chen meant to Squish and the Elf brigade.
It may be that the EMP bombs Theresa planted were part of a wider plot to drop the HC HQ defences for Riff's attack and that the conversation basically told Squish to trigger them remotely.
I don't think Theresa would have had time to set a timer between Riff's call and waylaying Tyler.
Shills still not out though, until she gets past Kusari and possibly a really pissed Drake.

Hmmm...well I suppose this is the furthest forward in time we've progressed. Consolation prize I guess. Still not sure what the plan is for the next chapter in any case, if we're not moving forward literally six months later. (Unleeeessss...he means six months later from the start of Six Months Later minus filler in two days?? Ugh, I give up)
I think it's safe to say, though, that these Happybox "toys" are the thing Theresa has been busy with this whole time, for people who were pondering over that. Makes me almost wish we'd gotten a proper storyline of her infiltrating HC a few chapters ago, since it would be interesting to see how she was able to hijack the supply chain from within. Of course, that would've made this whole build-up even longer and we're already three chapters deep into this thing as it is

Percy and the Digbot King to the rescue?
This could get messy!

I really don't think Teresa's making it out of this one alive. There's the subchapter title to consider, but that's not the main thing. This escape just feels off/too easy to me and it seems like Pete is building up the tension with it to just have make it all the worse when she runs into the end of the line. The mood does not strike me as one where everyone walks away with nothing more than a few scrapes and bruised egos. She's going to die just as she's about to escape or right after she thinks she already has.
However, Yodimus' theory might hold instead if Daiyu gets in Drake's crosshairs while running outside. For sure, someone is dying imminently.

This may be too obvious but I suspect Kusari will kill Teresa.

Leaning toward Drake, simply because she's gotten more screentime this chapter, but Diyu just got engaged which is a huge Doom flag.. Well, it looks like Drake is about to mistakenly shoot Daiyu. We have ourselves a dead woman.

Hmm... well I can't remember if Pete stated that Dunuloa "became" Basphomy or just created Basphomy, and I never read the Basphomy bonus story so I don't know if there was additional information given away there, but I don't remember Dunuloa being imprisoned and Basphomy is serving the Pumpkin Headed King when we first encounter her.

The Sin'thea-Steve Hereti connection just made the tenuous, almost entirely hair-based connection between Teresa and Oasis more plausible.
